Overall, the monetization strategy of the game is well-received, with players appreciating the minimal and unobtrusive nature of the ads. Most ads appear only after completing a game or when players run out of moves, allowing for uninterrupted gameplay. Many users also express satisfaction with the option to purchase an ad-free version, highlighting that the game successfully balances monetization without overwhelming players with advertisements.

- “No ads while playing and the ones between games are skippable.”
- “One of the best features is no ads!”
- “Now, it plays ads that cannot be closed until they've been active for a certain amount of time, usually accompanied by loud annoying music, video, etc. The game itself is just not interesting enough to put up with the ads.”
- “I am really sorry, the ads that one has to endure in the name of enjoyment or relaxation leave me more frustrated and tense than I started out. Bottom line, great game, but Google capitalism at its best is ruining something else for the rest of us.”
