The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the excessive frequency and intrusive nature of advertisements. Many players express frustration over being bombarded with ads after nearly every action, with some noting that the ads are often inappropriate for younger audiences. While some users suggest a willingness to pay for an ad-free version, the lack of such an option has led to numerous uninstalls and negative reviews.
“Handles and controls easily and functions well with no ads or in-app purchases.”
“It's a nice game and very smooth to play, no ads in between.”
“Excellent game, really addictive, no ads.”
“The game is a decent one and could be enjoyable if it weren't for the ads. Every time you do anything, there is an ad: you pass a level, an ad; you fail a level, an ad; in between tries, an ad. So many ads, they may as well put them in between ball throws.”
“I used to love this game, but lately, why have you guys started showing obscene and somewhat adult ads during this game? I understand the presence of ads as this is a free game, but why the hell such ads that are not suitable for kids?”
“Way too many ads! I played less than 15 rounds and had an ad after almost every round. It's frustrating and takes away from the enjoyment of the game.”

“It is a rubbish game. I got stuck on level 91; when I completed it, the game glitched and the level restarted itself. Worst game ever; I recommend not to download it as it is a waste of time and full of glitches.”
