The monetization strategy of the game is heavily criticized for its aggressive and intrusive ad placements, with many players expressing frustration over mandatory ads that disrupt gameplay and hinder progression. While some users appreciate the option to watch ads for bonuses, the overwhelming frequency of ads—often required for advancement—leads to a negative experience, prompting calls for a more balanced approach or a trial period without ads. Overall, the monetization model detracts significantly from the enjoyment of the game, with many players feeling that it prioritizes revenue over user experience.

Players express frustration over the game not saving music and sound settings, leading to unexpected loud sounds upon reloading. However, the ambient music is praised for its calming and hypnotic qualities, enhancing the overall experience.
“Super calming music and there's something about the sand being poured that hypnotizes me.”
“Please make it where this game saves the settings for music, sound, vibration, etc. because every time you exit the game and then load it back up, it resets the sound and music. If your device's volume is up, it starts making some loud sounds.”
“It's interesting to see what it becomes eventually, like the ambient music.”
