    62 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the frequency and intrusiveness of ads, including instances where ads open external websites without user interaction. While some users find the option to pay for an ad-free experience reasonable, others feel that the cost is too high and that the ads detract significantly from the gameplay. Overall, the balance between free content and monetization through ads has led to dissatisfaction among a portion of the player base.

    • “Buy the ad-free version for $5 to enjoy no ads and over a thousand new puzzles; it's absolutely worth it.”
    • “In-app purchases aren't ridiculously expensive, including the option to remove ads, which is definitely a plus.”
    • “The best part of the game was no ads.”
    • “I wouldn't know if the option to pay to get rid of ads would actually fix this issue, but if the option is 'pay us or click on this phishing site,' I'd say that's pretty shady.”
    • “The game itself is rather fun, but either the ads or the game keeps opening phishing and scam websites on my phone. I was tempted to buy the ad-free version, but upon continued scam websites opening on their own, I decided it would be best to stop playing the game.”
    • “I have to force stop the whole app and reopen it between every level because of these overly obnoxious, full screen, loud, un-closeable ads.”
