The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, with many expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads that interrupt gameplay. Players report being bombarded with ads after nearly every level, often spending more time watching ads than actually playing the game, which detracts from the overall experience. While some users acknowledge the necessity of ads in free games, they argue that the frequency and length of these ads are overwhelming and suggest that a paid option to remove ads would be a welcome improvement.
