  • monetization
    104 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization model of the game is primarily based on optional ads, allowing players to choose whether to watch them for in-game rewards, which many users appreciate. However, some players express frustration over the frequency and length of ads, feeling that they can disrupt gameplay and create a sense of forced engagement. While there are no mandatory ads, the lack of a permanent ad removal option is a common complaint, with some players wishing for a more balanced approach to monetization that doesn't rely heavily on ad viewing.

    • “Good game, no ads.”
    • “No ads good time killer, no pay to win; takes a bit but it's fun all around.”
    • “10/10 no ads and runs exactly as said; funny and cool game overall, recommended for people who fear boredom or just want a funny little game.”
    • “Clearly this is just an ad dump, not a developer trying to make a new or fun project; instead, it's a dev that is trying to make a quick buck by filling their game with ads and in-app purchases.”
    • “The game itself seems okay, but I absolutely detest it when games only offer ad-skip currency instead of permanent removal of ads.”
    • “Fun but... I play a lot of idle games and don't mind paying if I enjoy it, but I'm like 15 minutes in the game, watched about 15 ads, didn't see anything to buy to get rid of ads, and got a luck-related system of 'honey ants' as 'manager' for bonus resources.”
