The monetization model of the game is heavily reliant on ads, with many players expressing frustration over the frequency and length of forced ads, which can last up to 45 seconds and are often non-skippable. While some users appreciate the option to watch ads for rewards, the overall sentiment is that the game feels more like a platform for ads than a standalone experience, with high prices for ad removal and in-app purchases leading to accusations of price gouging. Many players report technical issues with ads not loading or causing crashes, further detracting from the gameplay experience.
- “I generally like idle games, but the monetization model for this is too excessive.”
- “Finally, the no-ads upgrade is about $16, which is the average revenue for about 800 rewarded ads, which is ridiculous.”
- “$15 for no ads is insane.”
- “The game is little more than watching ads.”
- “Decent game overall, but you will quickly reach a point where progress comes to a screeching halt unless you pay or watch a ridiculous number of ads.”
- “It's a blatant cash grab with no upside for the consumer.”
