Monetization in this game is dominated by frequent, intrusive ads—especially after level 30—with users reporting ads after nearly every level, including mandatory and unskippable ones that disrupt gameplay and cause frustration. Despite the option to pay for ad removal, many players experienced continuing ads or glitches preventing successful purchase, and progression often felt gated by forced boosts or coin requirements tied to ads or microtransactions. Overall, the aggressive ad strategy greatly diminishes enjoyment and is seen by many as a cash grab that harms the game's otherwise engaging experience.
- “I don't mind pay-to-play, as the developer needs to get paid for his work, but don't nickel-and-dime me with microtransactions on a supposedly free game.”
- “There's no ads all the way until level 35, and then there's ads basically every 2 levels.”
- “People should be able to choose to have no ads.”
- “After a certain point, ads start appearing after every level, even when not opting for boosted rewards, making the game frustrating and impacting playability.”
- “Paying to remove ads doesn't eliminate all advertisements, especially when trying to get boosts or restart levels, which ruins the experience even after purchase.”
- “The ads are overwhelming and relentless after about level 40, forcing players to watch extended and frequent ads, often causing crashes and making the game unplayable.”

The game suffers from frequent freezing, glitches, and crashes, especially at higher levels, causing lost progress, lives, and purchased items without proper compensation. Troubleshooting steps often fail to resolve these issues, making gameplay frustrating and sometimes unplayable. While the game itself is fun and addictive, its poor stability significantly hampers the overall experience.
- “Every time I play this game, during a level the whole game freezes, and I have to close the app and reload it. When I load back in, I have to restart the level from the beginning, which is very frustrating.”
- “Decided to try another Rollic game in case my issues with a previous one were just bad luck, but this one is unplayable. As soon as you load it to level 1, it freezes and locks up. After about two minutes it unfreezes for 5 seconds and then freezes and locks up again. My conclusion is that my phone and Rollic games just don't seem to work well together, so I'll avoid it.”
- “Keeps freezing. The third time I started this game it is good and easy to play, but when you reach level 100, it freezes and you have to uninstall and reinstall the app, losing all your progress.”

The gameplay is simple, fun, and relaxing, with decent level progression and no need for internet connection. However, frequent crashes, excessive ad spam, and the enforced online requirement significantly detract from the experience.

- “The gameplay doesn't require internet.”

- “But you can pass the level in 10 to 15 seconds of gameplay, but have to watch 29 seconds worth of ads.”
- “But since the developer enforces internet connection (not needed for gameplay), this affects my rating.”
