The gameplay experience is heavily overshadowed by an overwhelming presence of ads, with many users reporting that they spend significantly more time watching ads than actually playing.

“App does not have automatic ads, but gameplay is set up in a way that forces you to view ads in order to get power-ups that you cannot advance without.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game excessively tedious due to the requirement of watching multiple ads to progress through levels, often leading to frustration. Despite the game's enjoyable mechanics, the overwhelming number of ads significantly detracts from the overall experience, making it feel more like an advertisement farm than a fun game.
“You have to watch two ads per level to pass (one if you're lucky), so it gets tedious very quickly.”
“This is an ad-farming game; you literally have to watch up to 5 ads to complete a single level. I got to level 41. Do not waste your time with this game. It is fun, but the advertising is ruthless. You only get 20 coins for completing a level, but to skip an ad, it's 160. Such a shame; such a fun time-killing game, but the excessive ads destroy any potential this game had.”
