The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the high cost of removing ads, typically around $15, which is considered excessive compared to other games. While some users appreciate the option to watch ads for bonuses and extra income, the overwhelming number of ads—often longer than 30 seconds and sometimes requiring multiple clicks to close—leads to a gameplay experience that feels more like watching ads than playing. Overall, players feel that the game is designed to push them towards spending money or watching excessive ads to progress, which detracts from the enjoyment of the game.
- “The no ads purchase is also really good, I also recommend buying it.”
- “The game is pretty fun, but the best part is the little to no ads. I've been playing for 10 minutes and haven't experienced one; most games have tons of ads, so that is awesome.”
- “Really enjoy the no ads buy option which allows you to skip all video watching for speed ups.”
- “Your income can't keep up with the cost of upgrades without watching a million ads.”
- “The main problem is that some ads last longer than 30 seconds, and some ads go indefinitely. You need to kill the app to close them, and then you lose the bonus for which you watched the ad in the first place.”
- “I wanted to like it, but it's just too much of a cash grab.”
