The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the frequency and intrusiveness of ads. While some users report that ads appear after nearly every level or after multiple attempts, others find that turning off Wi-Fi or using airplane mode significantly reduces ad interruptions. A common sentiment is that while ads are expected in free-to-play games, their excessive presence detracts from the overall enjoyment, leading some players to uninstall the game or purchase an ad-free version.
- “It is really good, you get no ads whatsoever, you don't have to pay, you just install and play!”
- “The greatest part is how there are basically no ads 👍🤟”
- “Also, important: there are no ads... I played all 202 levels for free, and not a single ad popped up... definitely one of my favorite apps, and developers for that sole reason.”
- “I actually spent more time on ads than I did playing the game and proceeded to uninstall it.”
- “I get that free-to-play games need ad revenue, but if I am spending more time in the ads than the game, it's no longer a game.”
- “You will spend more time watching ads than playing the game.”

- “Unfortunately, the glitches take a lot of the fun out of it.”
- “The only reason I rated the game a 4 and not 5 is because it has some glitches and sometimes when you go to skip a level and you watch the ad, it just keeps you on the same level.”

grinding
2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Reviews indicate that the grinding aspect of the game is frustrating and poorly designed, with scripted mechanics that detract from the experience. Players find the lack of realistic physics and the presence of unethical ad placements to be particularly discouraging, leading to a tedious gameplay experience. Overall, the grinding feels more like a chore than an engaging challenge.
- “It's discouragingly annoying, unethical ad placement (click-farming), and simply poor design.”
- “There is really no actual physics; it's all scripted for directions, and the jumps are also scripted. The jump height in a circle is constant, but since the ball doesn't have physics, it doesn't roll on the ground, making the game really finicky and tedious to actually play. If the game had physics, I would definitely recommend it, but to be honest, I was hoping for something better than this.”
