The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the frequency and length of unskippable ads, particularly those lasting over 30 seconds. While some users find the ads manageable and not overly intrusive, there is a strong demand for options to reduce ad frequency or to implement in-app purchases (IAPs) to remove ads entirely. Overall, players appreciate the game's quality but feel that the current ad model detracts from the experience.
“The number of 30+-second unskippable unrewarded ads is totally unacceptable.”
“Intrusive video ads are unacceptable; you could easily offer in-app purchases to remove ads and also not offer video ads.”
“I would like an option to reduce the ads to 2-3 stages and not after every single one.”

Users appreciate the game's story, noting it as a strong point, but express a desire for it to be more integrated into the gameplay rather than just presented on the Google Play page. They suggest expanding the storyline, adding new enemies, and making it more engaging, particularly by introducing new plot elements and characters to enhance the narrative experience.
“Anyways, great game with a great story.”
“It's so interactive; my son likes the game, and the story is so sad. Can you make it a little more interesting, like after they killed Akuji, a new evil awakens from its deep slumber, and they need help to destroy it? A friend comes to help them, and his name is Daker.”
“Pls add endless mode, make the storyline longer, and add more different enemies.”
“And would it be a bother to add the story into the game, rather than put it on the Google Play page.”
“It seems like it is impossible to fight because your real mission is just to move.”
“It's so interactive my son likes the game and the story is so sad. Can you make it a little more interesting, like after they killed Akuji, a new evil awakens from its deep slumber and they need help to destroy it, and a friend came to help them and his name is Daker.”

“It's so good until you reach stage 2:3. The game freezes and crashes after the dragon scene, and it keeps crashing even though you update it.”
“Good game, but it freezes.”
