The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the prevalence of forced ads that interrupt gameplay and often lead to lost progress. Many players express frustration over the misleading advertising claims of "no ads," as they encounter numerous unskippable and intrusive ads, particularly after reaching certain levels. While some users appreciate the option to watch ads for rewards, the overwhelming number of mandatory ads has led to a negative impact on the overall gaming experience, with many considering uninstalling the game as a result.
- “Not a fan of the dishonest 'no ads' purchase, which doesn't remove banner ads.”
- “I purchased the no ads for $6.99, the game still has ads.”
- “This game lied; the ad I downloaded from said there's no ads, yet there are.”
- “The game by itself is fine, but the fact that you are forced to watch ads just to be able to play the game the way it is intended is... the game places gears on the board that need to be unlocked via ads.”
- “Unskippable and uncloseable ads pop up mid-match and you have to close the game entirely to get rid of them, which results in you losing progress in the level you're playing.”
- “The forced ads are ridiculous and some are fake virus spam, don't waste your time.”
