The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the minimal and non-intrusive ads that allow for a casual gaming experience without forced purchases. However, many users express frustration over the necessity of in-app purchases to remain competitive, as well as issues with ad rewards not being credited. Overall, while the game offers a fun experience with limited ads, concerns about pay-to-win mechanics and high costs for upgrades persist.
“Can be casual with little to no ads if you want, so bonus star for that.”
“Another great feature is that despite running out of coins, it gives you free ones to continue playing and no ads; that's a major plus.”
“Very fun and free-to-play friendly so far; pay-to-play has microtransactions for all levels, not just whales.”
“Then, unless you make in-app purchases, you lose every match and eventually all of your points, rendering the game unplayable until you make purchases. I'm sure the con artists responsible will have an excuse about why I am wrong.”
“Basically, you're getting nowhere unless you're looking to spend a couple hundred dollars on in-game purchases... don't waste your time.”
“Tons of ads and the prices of upgrades are unbelievably high.”
