The monetization model of the game is generally well-received, particularly for its inclusion in the playpass catalog, which eliminates ads and in-app purchases for subscribers.

Overall, the absence of intrusive ads enhances the gaming experience.
“I love cooking and playing cooking games with no ads.”
“I like the game, but what gives this a 1 star is the fact I am a paypass holder, which you guys allow, but I can't buy anything like regular players can. The only perks I'm getting are no ads.”

“Able to watch ads and get money to upgrade.”

“I've played for hours without encountering any stability issues, which is a refreshing change.”

Users find the music in the game to be somewhat monotonous, suggesting that changing the music for each level could enhance the experience. While the game is praised for its challenging gameplay and absence of ads or microtransactions, the current soundtrack may not be engaging enough to maintain interest.
“Finally a challenging game with no ads and no need to spend money, but the music per level could use some variety; the sound is quite boring.”
“The rest is just a blank screen with icons and music.”
