The monetization of the game features optional ads that are generally non-intrusive, allowing players to enjoy the game without feeling pressured to make in-game purchases. However, there are issues with regional pricing inaccuracies and ad functionality, as players report problems with ads not playing or failing to provide promised rewards. While some users appreciate the ability to support the game through purchases, concerns about the value and reliability of these transactions persist.
- “The game flows very well to the point where in-game purchases aren't needed.”
- “Pretty basic, but it's free and there are no ads.”
- “Cool game, but the prices listed in the shop are inaccurate regionally, so everything is more expensive than what is displayed. Everything is already too expensive for a simple idle game, and there is an issue with how ads play and the type of ads that play; either they won't play or lock out the game, forcing hard closes.”
- “I bought the upgrade to remove ads from the game, but after not logging on for a few months, my game reset and I no longer have the no-ad upgrade.”
- “It's fun, but they don't care - they'll still take your money through the in-game purchases despite doing nothing.”
