The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over excessive ads and mandatory payments for multiplayer access and additional content. While some users appreciate the absence of intrusive ads, others feel that the game is overly reliant on microtransactions, making it feel greedy and limiting the overall experience. Suggestions for improvement include offering ad-based rewards or reducing the cost of in-app purchases to enhance accessibility.
- “Way too expensive for nothing, and what's ridiculous is that I have to pay every single time for multiplayer. I mean seriously... maybe just put in some in-app purchases, but charging people just to play multiplayer is pure greed.”
- “I like it, not love it. The 3 stars (that I did not press) because 3/4 of the maps need to be purchased. I suggest you keep the in-app purchase, but say watch an ad to open this map for 2 hours or 1 or even half. So much ads, and you must make everything cheaper.”
- “Why does every game have to have microtransactions and memberships?”
- “You have to pay for practically everything, and I hate the excessive amount of ads.”
- “All things are pay-to-play; nothing is free except for single-player, and when you pay, this game is fully loaded with ads.”

I started seeing more glitches; a piece of my land was floating. I had an amazing build made by my friend, and we built a salon. I had to reset my land, so I do not recommend this app.”
