The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads required to progress, particularly after the initial levels. While some appreciate the option to play for free with ads or pay for an ad-free experience, others find the frequent interruptions and technical issues, such as crashes and unresponsive ads, detract from the overall enjoyment.

The music in the game has been widely criticized for being inconsistent and buggy, with players reporting issues such as music starting unexpectedly even when turned off, and the game crashing frequently. Many users find the music annoying and disruptive to gameplay, leading to frustration and a desire for urgent fixes. Overall, the music quality and integration seem to detract from the gaming experience rather than enhance it.
“Music, graphics, and level also a bit tough.”
“Something is wrong with the game. I love these games, but I'm having trouble playing. I load the game and there is no music, but within seconds the music starts. I've turned the music volume off and it's still there. It is very annoying and needs sorting out ASAP. I am not able to play with that music in the background. It was fine for an hour, but then it came back. It must be a bug, and I have the latest update.”
“It constantly crashes (I'm updated) and plays commercial music after it's done.”
“Your combination with Stage Clear Studio was fantastic, but this new game has no good animation. The story, music, etc., were not great. I'm sorry, I have to delete the game. I'm looking for a great start again like the previous episode and game.”
