The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming number of ads that interrupt gameplay, often appearing after every level. While some players are willing to pay for an ad-free experience, many express frustration that even after purchasing this option, they still encounter ads for in-game bonuses. Additionally, the high cost of microtransactions and the necessity to watch ads for essential power-ups have led to a perception that the game prioritizes profit over player experience.
“The no ads purchase is reasonably priced, and makes the game much more fun!”
“I paid for no ads and I continue to enjoy level after level uninterrupted!!!”

“Sadly I spent €6 10 days ago for removing the ads between the levels, waste of money.”
“The game forces you to watch ads in order to complete the level.”
“Would be a great game, except the ads are getting longer and more frequent as you progress, eventually becoming torturous.”
