The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, particularly following a recent update that introduced a "refill fruit" feature, which forces players to watch ads every 15-30 seconds during gameplay. Many players feel that the increase in intrusive ads has made the game unplayable and perceive the changes as a blatant cash grab, especially since purchasing an ad-free option still results in frequent interruptions. Overall, the excessive and poorly integrated ads have led to a decline in user satisfaction, with many players uninstalling the game as a result.
- “It's the best version of this game I've played on mobile, and there are no ads that disturb you or interrupt the game. You can watch ads for power-ups, but the only ads being non-forced ones straight up puts this game in front of nearly any other mobile game, and it's so fun.”
- “Iz good, no ads and pretty relaxing.”
- “No ads as of now.”
- “This game was a decent suika clone with a reasonable amount of ads (maybe 2 at a game over and that's it). Unfortunately, the most recent update has added an energy bar that makes you watch around 10 ads during games and then ads at game over too.”
- “The game was good before the last update; not many ads and an overall nice way to pass time. Now you have to watch ads every minute to refill your fruit basket, which is just excessive.”
- “It was great until they added the refill basket; can't play one game without watching 5 ads. The amount of ads is ridiculous, I'm uninstalling.”

The gameplay is generally enjoyable with simple mechanics and charming art, but recent updates have introduced intrusive ad mechanics that significantly disrupt the experience.

Overall, while the core gameplay remains fun, the excessive ad interruptions have turned many players away.
- “I love the game, the mechanics are nice, simple, and the art is cute and cozy even.”
- “The gameplay is as advertised.”
- “Pretty fun and challenging; the thing is, its mechanics are so strange, like how does a strawberry push an apple if the strawberry just falls!?”
- “Disrupted the whole gameplay experience.”
- “It's too much, and the gameplay isn't enjoyable anymore.”
- “Bombarded with ads; the gameplay itself requires you to watch ads every 15 fruit drops. Whoever came up with this idea is money hungry as hell; I would give 0 stars if there was an option.”
