The monetization strategy of the game is largely centered around optional ads that players can choose to watch for rewards, which many users appreciate as non-intrusive and well-integrated into gameplay. While some players find the reliance on ads for coin accumulation excessive and the in-game purchases somewhat steep, the overall sentiment is that the ads do not disrupt the experience significantly, allowing for a cute and enjoyable game environment. However, there are concerns about slow progression without watching ads, leading some to view it as a cash grab.
“The ads are great (there's no ads unless you want one for rewards).”
“Cute, fun, addictive, doesn't force microtransactions which makes me more likely to get them.”
“No ads unless you choose them, really cute design, and great music!!!”

“The game is very cute, and kinda fun I guess, but it will not stop throwing requests for ads in my face.”
