The monetization model of the game is generally well-received, as it avoids intrusive ads and allows players to enjoy the game without mandatory purchases. While ads are optional and can provide valuable bonuses, some players feel that progression can become challenging without engaging with microtransactions. Overall, the game strikes a balance by offering a fair experience without overwhelming players with ads or pay-to-win mechanics.
“Fun, simple, no ads unless you want bonuses.”
“Good time waster, no forced in-game purchases to enjoy the game.”
“After paying to remove ads, the game seems to eventually and purposefully plateau to the point where it's just way too hard to advance anything without more microtransaction purchases.”
“You pretty much have to watch ads or participate in events that don't last nearly as long as they should, and they require you to be active to get the event currency.”
“A bit too locked up behind in-game purchases.”

Players generally find the game enjoyable, but many note that it becomes increasingly grindy, especially in the late game. While some appreciate the grinding mechanics and see them as a time sink, others feel it can be tedious and may require significant effort to gather materials and upgrades. Overall, the grind is seen as a mixed aspect, with potential for enjoyment depending on individual preferences for pacing and progression.
“Game is super fun up to late game then gets super grindy real quick.”
“Not that bad a game but it'll get really grindy since materials get really costly and even harder to reasonably get once it gets even remotely late so prepare for a grinding session.”
“Ehh, very grindy, starts off fun but it ends up giving you more to grind for.”

“To drastically change the core mechanic (tapping) of your game is to spit in the face of your player base.”

“Some mechanics are weird but not a bad idle game.”
