Many players feel that the costs to remove ads are excessively high, often exceeding the price of full games, and express frustration over misleading pricing for ad removal options.

Additionally, some players note issues with idle mechanics and bugs that hinder progress, suggesting that while the core gameplay has potential, it is marred by ad overload and technical problems.
- “Enjoyable gameplay; ads are either optional with reasonable rewards or very short. I particularly enjoy that there are also long-term rewards depending on how many ads you've watched.”

Users express significant frustration with the game's music functionality, noting that it automatically pauses or stops their background music from apps like Spotify and YouTube whenever the game is opened or an ad is encountered.

Overall, the lack of background music support detracts from the gaming experience for many users.
- “Ok, I don't usually do this, but this game is quite amazing! From someone who played this game from the beginning until now, there's been a huge improvement. I literally can't stop checking up on my people. Great work! I especially love the little event music when you unlock the different event locations.”
- “Seems like a really chill game, but hopefully they can have it not stop my music while playing.”
- “Great game, but it needs music to go with the gameplay.”
- “But the worst part is every time the app is opened or coming back from an ad, my podcast or music gets turned off. I don't mind the quick 5-second ads except for the game turning off my audio player (I've tried with 2 separate apps).”
- “You cannot have music in the background; the game stops it automatically, and you cannot turn it back on at all.”
- “It's an okay game, yet I give two stars to any game that doesn't let me listen to a music app at the same time.”
