The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback from users, primarily due to the excessive number of ads that interrupt gameplay. Many players report being bombarded with ads after every level, with some ads even appearing in the middle of the game, making it unplayable. While some users acknowledge the need for ads in free games, the frequency and intrusiveness of these ads have led to frustration and a desire for a paid ad-free experience.
“Great relaxing game, loved it so much I paid for the no ads version, thanks!”
“Well worth the $1.99 to have no ads; a super fun game.”
“Love the fact that it has almost no ads.”
“I'm not convinced it's even possible to complete later levels without the power-up items, and you have to pay for those through microtransactions that really stack up.”
“Solid concept, but the super long obnoxious ads ruin the experience, and the game practically begs you to buy microtransactions at every possible moment, including frequent pop-ups, a 'piggy bank' you have to pay to empty, an 'unlimited reward box' that's only unlimited if you pay, and mechanics that increasingly lean towards RNG rather than skill.”
“The game is fun, but the ads pop up in the middle of the game, blocking gameplay and making it impossible to continue.”
