The gameplay is generally praised for its fun, smooth mechanics and charming graphics, making it enjoyable and addictive for players. However, many users express frustration with the difficulty of earning in-game currency, which can hinder progress and lead to a pay-to-win feel.

- “The gameplay mechanics are fun and challenging, 5/5 would recommend.”
- “The gameplay is very frustrating.”
- “Smooth animations but lackluster game; it's only over 1000 levels, but seriously, the game could be boring at one point and you'd need to take a long break to consider if it's worth it to play over 1000 levels with the same gameplay.”
- “I just wasted $4 on this game that I do like, but now I'm starting to see unfair gameplay.”

The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the high costs of characters and items, which often necessitate microtransactions. Users feel that the game is designed to encourage spending, particularly at higher levels, and criticize the lack of effective ad rewards and the absence of a level replay feature to earn in-game currency. While some players appreciate the minimal ad interruptions, the overall sentiment leans towards the game feeling like a cash grab, especially for free-to-play users.
- “What I don't enjoy is the steep climb in unlocking characters and how dependent the game is on microtransactions; coins are too hard to collect for being the in-game currency!”
- “Extremely fun game, but it's impossible to get cookies without completing in-app purchases to get more coins. Please make it possible to replay past levels to earn more coins, or have different unlock methods for cookies!”
- “New characters get real expensive real fast, and without a level replay feature, affording the coins relies on both luck and rather pricey microtransactions.”
- “Too many microtransactions, takes forever to get even just coins (not to mention items are super expensive) and certain levels are just designed to get you to spend gems on extra turns.”
- “The game experience went downhill after you purchased herb cookies since you need to watch ads in order to clear the level, not to mention the penalty and health limitation. This game would force players to purchase power-ups since after level 80, it is designed to hurt free-to-play players.”
