The gameplay experience is heavily marred by an overwhelming number of ads, with users reporting that they spend significantly more time watching advertisements than actually playing the game.

“The gameplay is engaging and keeps you coming back for more.”
“The mechanics are smooth and intuitive, making it easy to pick up and play.”
“The variety of challenges in the gameplay keeps it fresh and exciting.”
“I understand that ads are necessary in rewarded-play gaming, but 5 seconds of gameplay then 1-3 minutes of double and triple layered ads (ads that take you to other pages for the ad that you're currently watching when you think it's over and tap the x) greatly exceeds 'necessary'.”
“Basically an ad per puzzle and some puzzles take 5-10 seconds, so you will be watching ads more than gameplay.”
“It has so many ads that you can't enjoy the game; there are more ads than gameplay.”
