The monetization strategy of the game has been heavily criticized for its excessive use of forced advertisements, which significantly detracts from the gameplay experience. Players report spending more time watching ads than actually playing, with frequent interruptions after nearly every action or level completion. Many users express a desire for an option to pay to remove ads, as the current model feels like a cash grab that compromises enjoyment.
“Would be a fun game if there weren't ads every time you level up.”
“Fun! I wanted no ads but didn't want to pay, so I turned off my Wi-Fi... it worked.”
“You spend more time watching forced ads than playing the game.”
“This game could be great; unfortunately, the ads ruin it. You get one before a level and two after the levels, and the beginning only takes like 15 seconds. You spend more time watching ads than playing; there needs to be a better balance between play and ads.”
“It's not a game, it's just a vehicle for delivering ads to you.”

The game's optimization is criticized for excessive ads that appear before and after gameplay, which not only disrupts the experience but also significantly drains battery life, with users reporting a loss of 2 to 4% per minute.
“Too many ads before and after each play, as well as during level-ups or when opening chests. It absolutely drained my battery by 2 to 4% each minute of gameplay because it isn't optimized well.”
