The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with players appreciating the option to watch ads for in-game benefits without feeling pressured to pay. However, concerns have been raised about the increasing frequency of forced ads, particularly for daily goals and achievements, which some players find disruptive and frustrating. While some users enjoy the ad-free experience after purchasing options to remove ads, others have reported issues with ad functionality and data transfer after switching devices.
“I like that there aren't ads unless I want to claim something.”
“The game was fun; it has no ads, but putting ads on daily achievements is probably the worst idea. Still, it's fun—just please remove the ads on daily achievements.”
“Lowered review score as ads are being pushed more now and again since rewards for ads are less now.”
“Official response proves they added the ads for more people to pay to get rid of ads.”
“Lost my offline progress due to the game crashing... also forced ads.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious, as the only way to expedite progress is by spending diamonds, which can detract from the overall enjoyment of the prestige process.
“Other than spending diamonds, there's no real way to speed up that process, which, in my opinion, makes the prestige process very tedious.”
