The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback from users, primarily due to the excessive number of ads. Players report being bombarded with ads after nearly every level, often spending more time watching ads than actually playing the game. Many users express frustration over unskippable ads that interrupt gameplay, leading to a poor overall experience. While some players suggest turning off Wi-Fi to avoid ads, the general consensus is that the ad frequency significantly detracts from the enjoyment of the game.
- “If you can, it's worth paying a one-time fee of three bucks for no ads if you truly want to play with no interruptions.”
- “What I like about this game is that even if you don't have internet, you can play it and there are no ads.”
- “Great game and all, I really like it. You don't need to watch ads; here I will tell you how to have no ads: turn off your Wi-Fi/internet. The game doesn't need Wi-Fi/internet after 100 levels; it repeats.”
- “I would love to rate this game higher, but the ads are crazy, even after paying for ad-free (this stops the mid-level and between level ads) but you still have to watch ads to perform a variety of actions.”
- “You will literally spend half your time watching ads.”
- “The amount of ads is just ridiculous and it's difficult to get out of them too.”
