The monetization strategy of the game has been heavily criticized for its excessive use of ads, with players reporting ads after nearly every level and even during gameplay. Many users express frustration over the inability to play offline, as the game requires an internet connection primarily to serve ads, leading to a perception of it being a cash grab. While some players acknowledge the game's potential and enjoy the gameplay, the overwhelming presence of ads significantly detracts from the overall experience, prompting calls for a reduction in ad frequency or a more reasonable monetization model.
“Great game! I'm thinking about actually buying no ads and VIP; it seems worth it. You did a good job making a good game. I would recommend it—super fun concept, great execution. There are too many ads, but at least the no ads option is not too expensive.”
“Fun game! You can buy no ads for 99 cents. My partner used Google Rewards and got it for free.”
“It's good if you turn off the Wi-Fi, so there are no ads!”
“The amount of ads in this game was unbearable, I couldn't even play without wifi; that's how desperate the developers are for money.”
“You spend more time watching ads than you do playing the game; there is literally an ad after every single round, and if you fail and have to restart?”
“It's a good game but the main issue is the ads; they ruin the whole experience, it's stupid that it gives you an ad even if you don't click the continue ad button.”

The gameplay is generally described as fun and engaging, with unique mechanics that can be enjoyable once players adapt to the physics. However, the overwhelming presence of ads significantly detracts from the experience, often leading to frustration and a perception that there is more advertising than actual gameplay. Many users express dissatisfaction with the game's reliance on ads, which interrupts the flow and enjoyment of the game, making it difficult to recommend despite its potential.
“Although the gameplay is really good and pretty fun, it has too many ads and if we turn off our internet, we can't even play a single bit of it and it's really annoying.”
“This is a very good game and the gameplay is very good and simple.”
“The game mechanic is beyond unique and the game is just amazing.”
“Honestly, the gameplay isn't bad at all; it's definitely one of those 'install for 30 mins and you're done with it' kind of games, but the ads make it awful to play. Every time you die or complete a level, there's an ad, and it gets old fast. I'm tired of these game developers making cheap, simple games just to throw ads all over them. I will not continue playing and will not download other games from this developer.”
“The controls are garbage, and this is one of those games where there is 5% gameplay and 95% ads.”
“This game is overall terrible. The gameplay mechanics and the amount of obstacles make it almost impossible to make it across, and the amount of ads is too overwhelming to keep playing. If I could give 0 stars, I would.”
