The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with many users expressing frustration over persistent ads even after purchasing the "no ads" option. Players report that ads frequently interrupt gameplay, often covering critical areas of the screen, and that attempts to resolve the issue through refunds or customer support have been unsuccessful. Overall, the monetization strategy, particularly the handling of ads, has detracted significantly from the gaming experience.
- “The game offers a fair monetization model that doesn't pressure players into spending money.”
- “I appreciate that the in-app purchases are optional and don't affect gameplay balance.”
- “The monetization system is transparent, allowing players to choose how they want to support the game.”
- “When I noticed that playing offline was no longer available, I sucked it up and kept playing, but now with the ads that take up half the screen and you can't close no matter how hard you try, I'm done.”
- “I paid to remove ads for $3.19, and guess what? I still have ads!!”
- “The ads before were only just bearable, but now they have completely taken over and ruined the game. Not only are they every other shot, which was bad enough, now we have to wait 5 seconds to skip, then it takes you to the download link of the ad as well. I'm spending more time trying to get rid of the stupid ads than I am playing actual darts.”
