The monetization strategy of the game heavily relies on ad viewing, with players often feeling compelled to watch numerous ads to progress, which detracts from the overall gameplay experience. While there are options for in-app purchases to skip ads or enhance gameplay, many users find these features frustrating and feel that the game encourages a passive experience rather than active engagement. Overall, the reliance on ads and the presence of a subscription model for ad removal have drawn criticism, overshadowing the game's appealing visuals.
- “The art is very cute, but the game falls into the same terrible monetization that a lot of similar games do.”
- “The ad removal is on a subscription, it immediately has a pricey season pass (which feels rough to complete as it involves a lot of things that require you to just sit around and wait for), and despite the encouragement to relax and go at your own pace, so many things require you to watch ads that you'll mainly be doing that more than anything.”
- “The biggest part of the gameplay is watching ads to get rewards.”
