The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming number of ads that interrupt gameplay, even in the paid version. Many players feel that the game is misleadingly marketed as free, only to reveal excessive ads and additional costs to unlock further levels. Overall, the consensus is that the monetization approach detracts from the gaming experience, with calls for a clearer pay model that either relies solely on ads or requires upfront payment without the burden of constant advertisements.
“Worth the few dollars for no ads and all levels.”
“I would've been fine with spending the $4 or whatever to support the devs and continue the game.”
“Pick a pay model, ads and free to play or no ads and pay to play.”
“With all the ads, I wrongly thought this game was free.”
“The only reason I give the game 4 out of 5 instead of 5 stars is because you have to pay to unlock the whole thing (which is fine), but in the unpaid version, there's an excess of ads and I feel like you don't get enough extra levels to justify paying three or four dollars for it.”
“I'll be buggered if I'm going to pay £3.00 for a game with such short levels and not happy that we're not aware of the unrealistic pricing until we're halfway through the game. Overall, levels are too short, the game is way overpriced for length and depth, and you have ads all the way through as well; talk about milking it, devs!”
