    The monetization strategy of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback from users, primarily due to the excessive number of ads that interrupt gameplay, including ads during levels and after every round. Many players expressed frustration after paying for an ad-free experience, only to find that ads still appeared, leading to claims of poor value and dissatisfaction with the overall gaming experience. While some users suggested turning off Wi-Fi to avoid ads, the consensus is that the ad frequency significantly detracts from the enjoyment of the game.

    • “I love the game but too many ads, and it would be 5 stars if no ads were free because I am broke.”
    • “I love this game because no ads if I turn off the Wi-Fi.”
    • “I'm not even able to finish an entire level without being bombarded by ads.”
    • “Paid to remove ads and still get bombarded with requests to watch ads and even tricked into watching them by changing the collect button into an ad button from time to time.”
    • “The game itself is pretty fun and has quite some challenges, but it's almost unplayable due to the amount of ads you get in one play session.”

    The humor in the game is widely praised, with players finding the antics of the hamsters—such as their cute movements, ability to wear hats, and amusing glitches—hilarious. Many users report laughing throughout their gameplay, particularly at the hamsters' quirky behaviors and interactions, making it a delightful experience for both kids and adults. Despite some technical issues, the overall consensus is that the game delivers a charming and funny experience.

    • “This game is hilarious! I love it so much! I dressed mine up super posh and then I put my head up a little bit and it looks so funny. My little sister was hysterical; she could not stop laughing. Love this game, definitely recommend!”
    • “I have been laughing my head off since I started playing.”
    • “Omg, this game is so funny and the best ever! 😂🤣🤣🤣”
    • “Oh, and by the way, it's not funny!”
    • “The jokes fell flat and felt forced.”
    • “I expected humor, but it was more cringeworthy than comedic.”
  • stability22 mentions

    The game suffers from significant stability issues, with frequent freezing and glitches that disrupt gameplay, particularly after ads. Many users report that the game can freeze their devices, and various bugs, such as the hamster becoming invisible or the UI shutting down, further detract from the experience. While the game is enjoyable, the overwhelming presence of ads and technical problems have led to frustration among players.

    • “Love the game but after some ads it freezes and you either have to restart from the beginning or come out of the game and go back in. When you try to free the hammers or get gifts, it won't let you after it has frozen. I had to restart my phone just to get it to work.”
    • “The game glitches constantly from the ads. It runs better without Wi-Fi because then it can focus on running the game rather than the ads. But even with the Wi-Fi off, the game randomly disables the controller for the hamster or makes the hamster invisible. Please fix this.”
    • “It's not too bad of a game, but if the hamster falls on its back (which happens very often), the game's UI system entirely shuts down. It gets very annoying because it freezes and takes about 5 minutes to respond before I can even close the app!”
