The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with players expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads that interrupt gameplay. Many users report that they spend more time watching ads than actually playing, with mandatory ads appearing frequently for even minor actions. While some appreciate the option to watch ads for rewards, the overall sentiment is that the game feels more like an ad platform than a playable experience, leading to a significant number of uninstalls and low ratings.
“All the in-app purchases are priced well.”
“It's really good game for kids too, the simple gameplay is engaging but easy to grasp and although there are still in-app purchases, they're not forced upon you as often as other apps.”
“I paid for the no ads and it made the experience even better.”
“This game starts off fun, but becomes borderline unplayable due to the frequency of mandatory ads.”
“Overall it's just so many ads, it's more ads than actual playing time.”
