The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over intrusive and unskippable ads that disrupt gameplay. While some users appreciate the option to watch ads for rewards and find the overall ad frequency reasonable, others feel overwhelmed by the number of ads, particularly after each game or level. A common sentiment is the desire for a paid option to remove ads entirely, as many players find the current ad model detracts from an otherwise enjoyable gaming experience.
- “Yes, there are in-app purchases, but that isn't necessary unless you want to advance quickly. That is totally up to you. As for me, I won't do that, but it's a cool game. I have not uninstalled or gotten bored like I have with a lot of other games.”
- “The mechanics are clear and there are no sneaky tricks to force in-app purchases, which makes me more likely to spend money!”
- “No ads are thrown at you, which is great for a free game.”
- “Game is frustrating and has a horrible greedy model; lose and watch 2 unskippable jarring loud and obnoxious ads.”
- “The game by itself would be great but they shoved ads and in-app currency into it instead so it's garbage.”
- “Uninstalling because it's more work to deal with the annoyances than for you to pick a better way to do ads.”
