Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessively tedious, primarily due to the overwhelming frequency of ads that interrupt gameplay. Many reviewers express frustration over the imbalance between playtime and ad time, leading to a feeling of minimal progress and a perception of the game as an "ad farming" experience. While the game has potential, the constant interruptions detract significantly from the overall enjoyment.
- “Makes it so you had no progress and becomes incredibly tedious.”
- “Okay game, would be good if you didn't have an ad after every single level and the fact the levels take half the time to complete that an ad takes to play. It gets quite tedious; I found myself watching more ads than playing. Also, it offers you a 3x boost at the end of every level in return for viewing an ad. You decline the offer, but an ad plays every time anyway. Just greedy game devs yet again.”
- “It's a fun game and a good concept, but when you have to wait 30 seconds to watch an ad between every level, it becomes tedious.”
