The monetization model of the game is generally well-received, with players appreciating the absence of forced ads and the option for in-app purchases being purely optional and reasonably priced. However, many users express a desire for more opportunities to earn energy and gems through optional ads or side events, as the current energy system can be restrictive. Overall, while the lack of ads enhances the gaming experience, players are seeking more balanced ways to engage with the monetization aspects without feeling pressured to spend money.
- “The gameplay isn't disturbed by any ads; you may choose to watch them, but they are not necessary, and in-game purchases are purely optional and aren't expensive.”
- “The best part about it is absolutely no ads at all, and that makes it a less annoying and smooth experience!”
- “I will say that finally a game that says there are no ads in it, and there are not. It is all done by however you want to do it; you can spend money or not, and I do like that about this game.”
- “I would give 0 stars if I could. I downloaded from a link saying I would get free starter packs just for downloading. It may be fun, but I don't like false ads. When I asked about it, they said you get great rewards just for playing.”
- “Cash grab games where progress is hindered by a paywall; everything requires gems.”
- “The monetization system related to energy is absolutely absurd.”

Overall, the gameplay is considered fun and unique, though the automatic decorating feature and energy restrictions detract from the experience for some players.

The game's story aspect is largely criticized, with many users noting the absence of a meaningful narrative despite some initial promise in advertisements.
