The monetization aspect of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming number of ads that disrupt gameplay, often appearing after every level or life. Many players express frustration over the invasive nature of these ads, which have increased since a change in developers, leading to a diminished gaming experience and prompting some to consider uninstalling the game. While some users appreciate the option to earn rewards through ads, the general consensus is that the current ad frequency is excessive and detracts from the enjoyment of the game.
“I love that there are no ads, and each level is different.”
“Great game, no ads!”
“I enjoy the unlimited gem games, no timers, no move limits, no target score or must do this to go to the next level, no ads, no buy anything to play, no commercials, no pop-ups.”
“Absolutely loved this game, but since the game switched devs, the ads are to the point where I can't even play the game.”
“After years of free play and unobtrusive ads, suddenly every stage is pirated by an advert that can't be removed, and they play longer than the moments of game between.”
“The new company relentlessly pushes ads at you as you play.”
