The monetization strategy of this game has drawn significant criticism for its excessive and intrusive ad placements, including forced ads that disrupt gameplay and are often unskippable. Many players report dissatisfaction with the "no ads" purchase option, claiming it does not effectively eliminate ads, leading to frustration and a perception of predatory practices. Overall, the game's reliance on ads for progression and revenue has overshadowed its potential, resulting in numerous uninstalls and low ratings.
- “However, it is refreshing that there are no ads except the ones you choose to watch; it's the only thing going for this game.”
- “Despite the game being full of in-app purchases, you still get adverts appearing out of nowhere with your option to pay to remove ads.”
- “I like the game and I'd give more stars if no ads really meant no ads.”
- “This game has amazing potential and could even be better than Gold and Goblins; it's gorgeous and has fun mechanics, but right now it's essentially window dressing for ads.”
- “It's designed from the ground up to make you watch ads, many of which lock the game, so you have to reboot it.”
- “A promising game ruined by incredibly annoying ads every 30 seconds.”

The gameplay is described as simple and straightforward, with fun mechanics and decent level design, but it suffers from significant issues, including slow pacing and repetitive actions. Many players express frustration over the intrusive ads that disrupt gameplay, leading to a negative experience and prompting some to uninstall the game. While there is potential for improvement, the current execution is marred by these ad-related interruptions and a lack of engaging content.
- “The gameplay is very simple and straightforward as presented in the ads.”
- “Decent gameplay and nice level design.”
- “I played this longer than I expected to, the concept and mechanics were clear and intuitive... but it just needs more.”
- “I get ads are needed for revenue and I don't mind watching ads for rewards or bonus time, but ads during gameplay are a killer. This is a cheap rip-off of Gold and Goblins, which I've had for almost 2 years and never had to buy the no ads option or had ads during gameplay. Ads during gameplay are an automatic uninstall for me.”
- “The gameplay is not exciting; you have to move the pieces (unlike similar games), and the price to remove ads is very high.”
- “Has some potential, but given the repetitive gameplay and lots of ads, it makes it impossible to enjoy.”
