    The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with players expressing frustration over the excessive frequency of ads, often appearing every minute or even more frequently. While some users appreciate the option to watch ads for bonuses, many feel that the sheer volume of ads disrupts gameplay and creates a frustrating experience, leading to accusations of the game being a "cash grab."

  • grinding281 mentions
