The monetization strategy of the game heavily relies on ads, with players expressing frustration over the frequency and length of ad interruptions, which can detract from the overall experience. While there are no forced ads during gameplay, many features and progression elements are tied to watching ads, leading to a mixed reception where the novelty may wear off due to the ad overload. Overall, the game offers cute graphics but follows a common pattern in idle games, prioritizing ad views over gameplay.
- “No ads pop up mid-gameplay, which is nice.”
- “It frustrates me that I can't keep playing without watching long ads, so I only use the app every 3 hours for like 5 minutes when I can actually play Minesweeper.”
- “The problem is that some quests and other niceties are tied to watching ads, but this game is plagued with some of the worst.”
- “This game is cute at face value, but to progress through the main quest line in order to get tokens that will upgrade all aspects of your island, it will force you to watch ads.”
