The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the frequency and intrusiveness of ads, particularly after deaths and for accessing checkpoints. While some appreciate the option to pay for an ad-free experience, others feel that the reliance on ads detracts significantly from gameplay enjoyment, leading to a consensus that the game could be much better without the excessive ad interruptions. Overall, the monetization model is seen as a major drawback, overshadowing the game's potential.
- “This is definitely a 5-star game with a good concept and worth the full price for no ads.”
- “For no ads, something I wish all games did, to be honest.”
- “Levels are too short (30 seconds to 2 minutes), ads play too often (every few deaths, which happen a lot in later levels), and you have to pay to use checkpoints (either buy a premium upgrade to remove ads, in-game coins, or watch an ad), which are, if you have any experience with platformers, pretty frequent and core to gameplay.”
- “Game has potential, but constant ads and having to pay for checkpoints is obnoxious.”
- “The game was good, but the sheer overload of constant ads means that you can't play for even a minute without seeing dumb advertisements.”
