The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads, which can disrupt gameplay and often fail to deliver promised bonuses.

- “The amount of ads is excessive.”
- “It was fun at first, but then I needed to watch a lot of ads or save gold from missions to buy boosts. The amount of gold you earn from missions doesn't make sense sometimes, like buying 2 roomies to earn 1 gold when it costs 5 gold for each one. Honestly, the game feels like it's trying to force you to spend real money.”
- “Brilliant game ruined by far too many video ads.”
