The game's monetization heavily relies on frequent and sometimes intrusive ads, which many users find excessive and disruptive to gameplay, diminishing the sense of accomplishment. While some players tolerate or even experience few ads, the general consensus calls for a reduction or removal of ads, especially those without skip options, to improve the overall experience. Microtransactions appear minimal and not overly forced, but the ad volume remains the main criticism.
- “No ads or distractions.”
- “It stayed classic, no ads.”
- “Nice game, I love it because it has no ads and it's a good game.”
- “Way too many ads, makes it frustrating seeing one every 20 seconds from retrying a micro challenge.”
- “It has so many ads and sometimes I can't exit the ad, I have to restart the game and the game doesn't save so I have to do it all over again.”
- “As soon as I played some of the levels, ads were coming rapidly and my wifi was off. When I paid for no ads, nothing changed. Devs remove ads or else 1 star will banish you from the Play Store.”
