The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, with many players expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads required to progress. While some appreciate that ads are optional rather than forced, the overwhelming frequency of ad-watching—often necessary for upgrades and rewards—has led to a perception that the game prioritizes revenue generation over player experience. Additionally, the lack of an option to purchase an ad-free version has further aggravated users, many of whom feel that the game is more of an ad platform than a playable experience.
“No ads forced down your throat, and alternate options to speed up progression outside of said ads.”
“There are in-app purchases, but the developers provided a game that you can play without purchasing and still enjoy it.”
“Monetization isn't obnoxious.”
“The game just kinda stops... unless you pay or watch ads, of course.”
“The ads alone have killed this game for me.”
“To really make any serious progression, you have to end up watching a bunch of ads.”
