The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, with many players labeling it a "cash grab" due to excessive ads and mandatory in-app purchases to access additional levels. While some appreciate the option to unlock content through gameplay, the overwhelming presence of advertisements and the requirement to pay for a full experience have left many feeling frustrated and disappointed compared to earlier installments. Overall, players are calling for a more balanced approach, such as a premium version with fewer ads.
- “So I went for a first play, it was overall good. I would pay for in-app purchases and stuff, but the problem is that it lags a lot, and when I go offline, it wouldn't go through since it needs an internet connection. I like the sequel and the first game because they're offline; I wish you could do something to make the game offline and ready to play on the go without internet.”
- “Fun, but there are again in-app purchases.”
- “The game already has a lot of ads, but then you have to pay to play it after the 2nd level. You guys should have just made the game free and had ads, and maybe you need to pay to draw multiple items or to get more colors, just like Epic 2 and 1.”
- “It's a good game, but now it's just a cash grab. You only get to play 2 levels before you have to buy the rest. This game is nothing but a cash grab.”
- “Too many ads, doesn't let you even play the game without spending 6 dollars.”
