Overall, the game is commended for its fair monetization approach, providing a calming experience without the pressure of constant advertisements.

- “This game is amazing because it literally has no ads and the graphics are beautiful and it's easy to get new dream hoppers and yep, best game I found in the app store.”

- “For the amount of dream dusts you get (3), playing the game is not worth it, especially since they only refill while you're away or by in-app purchase, and half the time those said dream dusts go to waste on dreams you've already discovered.”
