The monetization strategy of the game is heavily reliant on ads, with many players expressing frustration over the frequency and length of ad interruptions, which often hinder gameplay progression. While some users appreciate the option to watch ads for rewards, others feel that the game forces ad viewing to advance, leading to a negative experience. Additionally, in-app purchases are available, but many players desire a more straightforward option to remove ads entirely without ongoing costs.
“The monetization is also well done - not very intrusive and very unnecessary to play!”
“In-app purchases are available, but aren't constantly shoved into your face.”
“This is how mobile game monetization should be like.”
“My main problem with it, like every other mobile game, is the ads.”
“Sadly, the gameplay and ambience is severely let down by the amount of ads and purchases the game pushes on you.”
“This could easily be a 5-star game but there are way too many ads and progress is non-existent without watching ads or paying money.”

The story aspect of the game is generally viewed as engaging and enjoyable, with players appreciating the variety of quests and the cute graphics. However, many users express frustration over the reliance on ad-watching for mission progression, bugs that prevent quest completion, and a lack of new quests at higher levels, which can lead to a feeling of stagnation and diminished enjoyment. Overall, while the narrative elements are appealing, technical issues and design choices hinder the overall experience.
“The quest is the most fun element, making you somewhat plan ahead.”
“It's fun to optimize energy and heart gains and quests with gameplay elements like photo or blossoms.”
“Just beautiful art, sounds and story.”
“The game is very great but I realized after a few days of playing that the watch ad system is broken; it won't play any ads, so I can't do the egg thing, nor can I call one of the animals as a mission, which means I can't get any more of the rewards from it.”
“This huge gap in quest completion has sadly eroded my interest; what felt like a fun game might start feeling like a chore now.”
“It was a great game, but now I am at the point where it doesn't have any more quests to hit, so I can't really keep improving my island, and it just feels like I may as well uninstall if there isn't anything to work toward.”
