The game's monetization strategy is a mixed bag; while it features no ads, which many players appreciate, it also limits opportunities to earn in-game currency and boosters, leading to frustration. Some players find the in-app purchases too expensive, prompting them to uninstall, while others enjoy the lack of interruptions and consider the purchases reasonable for enhancing gameplay. Overall, the absence of ads is praised, but it may push players towards spending money to progress.
- “This game has no ads, which is great.”
- “No ads, no begging to rate the game, no pleas to invite other people.”
- “Fun, fun, fun and very reasonable in-app purchases to enhance the addictive experience!!!”
- “Without ads, you have very little opportunity to acquire extra boosters, coins, etc. This game is very stingy with both, when you occasionally do win them.”
- “Well, I have just uninstalled it because, like many others, the in-app purchases are too expensive, though I've spent enough.”
- “Assume it's because I'm not making in-app purchases.”
