The monetization strategy of the game has received criticism for lacking options to skip ads while retaining rewards, making upgrades feel prohibitively expensive. Players express frustration over the necessity of purchasing fuel to progress, suggesting that a system allowing ad-watching for fuel would improve the experience. Overall, the game's reliance on ads is seen as misleading and detrimental to player enjoyment.
- “No option to buy an advertisement skip while keeping the rewards like most games; other upgrades are expensive, and I can't see this lasting long.”
- “It is a good game once you get fuel, but if you don't have money to buy fuel, you are screwed. I think there should be a system where you can watch ads to get fuel.”
- “The whole game is not good; the ads don't even show you the real game.”
