The monetization strategy of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with users expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads, which often disrupt gameplay. Many players find the subscription prices to remove ads—ranging from $6.99 to $29.99 for limited time periods—unreasonably high, especially since the ads are not entirely eliminated even after payment. Overall, the forced ads and high costs for ad removal significantly detract from the gaming experience, leading to many users considering uninstalling the game.
- “My only complaint is the amount of ads but also how steep the no ads price is, especially since it's not forever but only for 30 days.”
- “Pretty good, I don't like that the no ads payment is only for 60 days, I feel like there should be an option for permanent no ads.”
- “Good game, but $10.99 for 60 days of no ads is insane.”
- “Very fun premise for a game, but the ads are unbearable... they are constant, and I often can't skip them without accidentally opening the ad - we all know this is done on purpose.”
- “The game isn't riddled with ads but they're often enough that this issue is more than I'm willing to put up with.”
- “You have way too many ads than the average game, too many errors, and glitches for that price.”
