I know I have an old device, but it works on almost every offline game, even Ice Scream 5, but this one crashes when I click on play. When I try again, it shows a black screen for 5 minutes, then the game closes, so please fix this bug.”

The monetization aspect of the game has received significant criticism due to the overwhelming frequency of ads, particularly in ghost mode, where players report interruptions every few seconds.

Overall, the excessive ads detract from the gameplay experience, leading to a mixed reception regarding monetization strategies.
- “Then, pay the ad-free subscription and there will be no ads.”
- “I love it! I give it 10/5 stars because it's amazing. I just beat it today on ghost mode and bought no ads, found the secret key, and got the bomb trap special skin for the bombs, which I like to call cool rod bombs. I'm amazed with your Ice Scream game! Can't wait for Ice Scream 5!”
- “This game is awesome! I have a tip to get no ads: turn off Wi-Fi or mobile data.”
- “I'm pretty sad that I purchased the option to remove ads from the game and it won't work anymore. It's just not fun anymore; every time I try to reload the weapons, I have to watch stupid ads, and I bought the option to remove them, but it's not working at all. I don't know if it's a glitch or you guys took that option down, but I can't even play this game without it. I want it back in the game.”
- “The ads are too common, and I know that you need money, but this is too much... and also I am sometimes stuck in the ads and I have to leave the whole app if I want to play.”
- “When I was playing, there were a thousand ads. It took 7 hours to finish the game. 0 stars.”

- “I like the gameplay, and for ads, I can just switch off the mobile data or Wi-Fi after entering the game, so no problem with ads, graphics, or gaming experience. But I thought the storyline would be more about Rod's father, Joseph, and I didn't like the ending at first because we don't escape the factory. However, after some thinking, I realized it might be right for an ending like this because we may find a lot in Ice Scream 5.”
