The monetization strategy of the game heavily relies on ads, which many users find intrusive and disruptive to gameplay. While some appreciate the necessity of ads for a free game, complaints about long, unskippable ads, loud sounds, and frequent interruptions are prevalent, leading to frustration and even uninstallation for some players. Overall, the balance between ad presence and user experience appears to be a significant concern among reviewers.

- “Love no ads, easy to learn, many levels.”
- “But the way ads are implemented in this game is deceptive.”

- “Used to be a great game until they started with long ads that you can't cancel and who blast extremely loud sounds by default (even if you have the sound on the game turned off).”
