The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating the minimal presence of ads and the option to earn boosts without being forced to make purchases. However, some users express frustration with occasional freezing during ad displays and a desire for a more balanced energy system instead of limited lives. Overall, while the game is generally seen as enjoyable with good graphics and story, the ad frequency and monetization strategy could use further refinement.
“I like the graphics and characters, and best of all, no ads!”
“Fun, good graphics, challenging, no ads, great way to pass the time.”
“It's a very fun game, no glitches yet, no ads so far, I love it.”
“The game freezes when the in-game purchase ads come up.”
“Ok, you should do energy instead of lives to play because 5 lives is not enough and it takes forever to fill back up. There are way too many ads; get rid of the ads. Plus, I am out of tools and I don't have the money for the tools. The cash you get in the game should be for the tools, so I am giving you a 3-star rating. It needs some more work done on it; I love the game.”
“Way too many harassing ads non-stop asking to sign up for things.”
