monetization
564 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming number of intrusive and often unskippable ads that disrupt gameplay. Many players express frustration over mandatory ads appearing after nearly every level or death, with some even reporting that purchasing an ad-free version does not eliminate all ads. While some users acknowledge the necessity of ads for revenue, the consensus is that the frequency and nature of the ads detract from the overall gaming experience, making it feel more like an advertisement platform than a game.
