The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews; while some players appreciate the lack of intrusive ads and the option to purchase an ad-free experience, others express frustration over the slow resource generation and the reliance on an energy system.

Overall, the balance between monetization and gameplay experience remains a point of contention among players.
“Challenging and deep tower defense without heavy monetization.”
“No ads but has an energy system.”
“Real disappointment, a cash grab just to play it... either bring your credit cards or don't bother to download the game; it's just too slow without infinite energy to play.”
“Fun game ruined by monetization.”
“There are no more ads for extra rewards after finishing a stage and to refill the fuel since a week ago.”
