The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the overwhelming number of ads that are either necessary for progression or heavily incentivized. While some appreciate the option to watch ads for boosts without being forced, others find the ad frequency excessive and intrusive, leading to a perception of the game as a cash grab.
