The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback from users, primarily due to the excessive number of ads. Players report being bombarded with ads every few seconds, often during gameplay, which disrupts their experience and leads to frustration. Many users have expressed dissatisfaction with the "no ads" purchase option, as it does not eliminate the mandatory ads required for upgrades and rewards, making the game feel more like an ad platform than an enjoyable experience. Overall, while the game has potential, the aggressive monetization strategy through forced ads has significantly detracted from its appeal.

- “For such an interesting concept, design, and structure, it really disappoints me that the amount of ads renders the game unplayable.”
