The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the frequency and length of ads, which can dominate gameplay. While some appreciate the option to pay for an ad-free experience, others feel that the game is overly reliant on ads and microtransactions, making it feel like a cash grab. Despite these concerns, a few players noted that watching ads can be optional and can lead to quicker progression, though the overall sentiment leans towards dissatisfaction with the monetization approach.

- “The game sucks because you have to watch ads for 30 minutes out of every 35 minutes of play from the beginning.”
