The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the reliance on ads and in-app purchases to progress.

Players express frustration with the grinding mechanics, noting that losing levels results in a complete loss of resources, which hampers progress and leads to dissatisfaction. Many feel that the game lacks proper balancing, suggesting that even small rewards for losses would improve the experience and reduce the feeling of being stuck. Overall, the consensus is that excessive grinding detracts from enjoyment.
“So in the end, you end up losing everything: no coins, no power-ups, no lives, only frustration. Please fix the balancing issue; I find this frustrating even as a paying user. At least give us some coins for losing a level so that we can keep grinding to have enough coins to upgrade and clear that level. Don't let people be stuck at one level; that is bad game design.”
“Too much grinding.”
