The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback from users, primarily due to the excessive number of ads. Players report spending significantly more time watching ads—often 30 seconds or more—than actually playing the game, with ads appearing after nearly every level or action. Many users express frustration over the inability to play offline and the intrusive nature of the ads, leading to a consensus that the game feels more like an advertisement platform than an enjoyable gaming experience.

- “If this app had a no ads option, I'd give it 4.5.”
- “I think it is great; I was on a journey with no internet and I got no ads. You don't even need internet. Great game!”

- “The game itself is pretty much leisure and slow and a tad boring; I get the idea, but those beautiful ads are what keep me coming back.”
- “This could be a fun game if it weren't for the sheer volume of ads.”

Keep up the good work! 👍🏼”
