The monetization strategy of the game heavily relies on ads, which players find intrusive and excessive, often interrupting gameplay after nearly every level. While there is an option to pay for an ad-free experience, many users report that ads persist even after purchasing this option, leading to frustration. Overall, while the game is enjoyable, the overwhelming presence of ads detracts significantly from the user experience.
“It's a fun game to play, glad you actually play with the proper characters from the show, old and new. The only thing that stopped me from giving this game a 5-star rating is the annoying amount of ads every time you go to solve a puzzle. Otherwise, it's a good game. If you could rectify this by having no ads without having to pay real money, it would be a lot better. Keep up the good work, lads.”
“Would be nicer with fewer ads.”
“Others, the games are easy to play, so no need for in-app purchases!”
“Good game, enjoyable puzzles, but it's not so much the ads are annoying; it's that it automatically transfers you to the Play Store to install them. If it's a glitch, it needs sorting, but I assume it's intentional as the player has the opportunity to go ad-free, and it's to pressure the player to pay for that option.”
“I know it is a free game, but I would rather choose the ads or pay up front for the game.”
“I love this game, but I spend more time watching ads than actual playtime.”
