The gameplay is criticized for being overly simplistic and frequently interrupted by an excessive number of ads, which detracts from the overall experience. Players report that the game often feels more like a platform for advertisements than an engaging gameplay experience, with many stating they can only enjoy about 30 minutes of actual playtime before being overwhelmed by interruptions. While some find the concept interesting, the constant need for internet connectivity and the lack of offline playability further diminish its appeal.
- “Its a strangely calming game once you get rid of the ads, and gameplay is interesting enough.”
- “Gameplay is mildly fun, but I would rate this as a teenager's attempt to make money in high school as though an hour of programming is enough for them to make millions.”
- “Simple gameplay.”
- “Ads interrupt gameplay, making the game completely unplayable.”
- “I thought it would be fun, and it was....for about 1 minute, but on top of the already too many ads that you can click for results, they started interrupting the game for even more ads. It is for this reason I'm downvoting this game, way too greedy devs.”
