The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback from users, primarily due to the excessive frequency of forced ads that interrupt gameplay, often occurring every 1-2 minutes. Many players express frustration over the high cost of removing ads, which they feel is unjustified given the game's design, leading to a perception that the game prioritizes profit over player experience. Overall, the intrusive ads significantly detract from the enjoyment of the game, with numerous users stating they would uninstall rather than endure the constant interruptions.
- “I paid for the no ads feature because this game is worth it.”
- “Enjoyed so much that I paid for no ads and then for the x3 boost.”
- “It's a great game to kill some time & do yourself a favor & buy the no ads forever.. they can get a bit much, but, after that the game is very enjoyable.”
- “Although I like the game and the concept of it, the forced ads every 2 minutes make it unplayable and really annoying.”
- “Ads crash the game 90% of the time, and that's honestly not exaggerated. You kinda have to watch ads, even like me who paid for ad removal to make it somewhat playable, so if you're okay with 2-minute reboots loading screen like 10 times a day, then this game is for you.”
- “The frequency of the ads in this game is obnoxious and absolutely ruins gameplay.”
