monetization
1,017 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe monetization strategy of this game has been heavily criticized for its excessive use of ads, with players reporting that they spend more time watching ads than actually playing. Many users suggest that the game is nearly unplayable due to the frequency of forced ads, which appear after almost every action, and express frustration over the ineffectiveness of the paid ad removal option. While some players acknowledge the need for ads in free games, they argue that the sheer volume in this case is overwhelming and detracts significantly from the overall experience.
“Clearly just a moneymaker with the 'remove ads' purchase button on the main screen and forced ads between every stage of a level.”
“Paid for the no ads option but it just took my money and continues playing ads anyway.”
“Pure ads... even when you pay for no ads, still showing ads... scammers.”
“This game is filled to the brim with ads; if you enable airplane mode, there won't be any ads, and this game serves as a nice little game that you can use to kind of disconnect from social media for a short period of time, other than that I wouldn't recommend it.”
“I spent more time sitting watching ads than I got play time.”
“The amount of ads in this game is nuts; the game has frozen for too much, I'm not recommending this game.”
