The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, with many players feeling overwhelmed by the reliance on ads and microtransactions. Users report that levels are often designed to be nearly impossible to complete without watching multiple ads or spending money, leading to frustration and a perception of the game as a cash grab. While some appreciate the optional nature of ads, the overall sentiment is that the monetization tactics detract from the gameplay experience, making it feel exploitative rather than enjoyable.
“It does have an energy system, but no ads, apart from ones you decide to watch to refill the energy, and you can pay $2.99 for what is virtually infinite energy (which I think is a fair bargain). There is a gacha system and in-game currency, but for this game, it's not all that bad, as all characters I've used so far have comparable quality.”
“No ads unless you want to get a second chance, which was really nice.”
“Awesome game, it has no ads, and it's super addicting.”
“A shameless cash grab and attempt to trick customers into paying money to beat levels and unlock characters, borderline costing real life money to even play a few levels which the game will make near impossible to beat most times.”
“The core gameplay loop has the potential to be fun, but is far too difficult, and often the only way to succeed is to watch minutes worth of ads.”
“It's an ad machine where it's impossible to finish a level without watching 3-5 ads and no, this is not a skill issue.”
