The monetization aspect of the game has been criticized for being potentially exploitative, with many users feeling it resembles a cash grab due to non-functional ads that are tied to in-game progress. Players express frustration over the reliance on ads for rewards, which often do not work, and the necessity to spend money to remove ads, despite the game's overall enjoyment. Additionally, the localization issues and the overwhelming presence of ads detract from the experience.
“I've just come from a far worse game that was very predatory in their microtransactions despite a 4.5 out of 5 stars.”
“Still no ads available.”
“Maybe an unfinished game or just a quick money grab to skip ads.”
“This is where it's potentially a cash grab.”
“Poor localization with lots of Korean text everywhere; also, ads don't work, which would normally be a good thing, but with in-game progress tied to them, it's very frustrating.”
