Reviews on monetization highlight a mixed reception, with some players appreciating the balance of ads while others find them intrusive and excessive, particularly in the early stages of gameplay.

The game suffers from significant stability issues, including frequent glitches and a non-functional pizza slice icon that causes freezing. Additionally, players express frustration over the high cost of items and the lack of ways to earn in-game currency, which detracts from the overall experience.
“This game is good fun with two exceptions (worth one rating star each): most items cost a lot of diamonds but there is no way to earn extra diamonds; and the pizza slice icon does not work and freezes the game.”
“I give it two stars because it glitches a lot and it doesn't fill all the empty spaces up.”
