The monetization strategy of the game is heavily criticized for its excessive and intrusive ads, which detract from the overall gameplay experience. Players report that progress is largely dependent on watching ads, leading to a perception of the game as a "money grab" with minimal depth. While some enjoy the gameplay, the overwhelming presence of ads makes it nearly unplayable for many users.
“Gameplay is good and it's fun watching houses be built, but it seems just another idle money grab game with little depth and tons of video ads.”
“There's nothing to do except log in, watch 2 ads, play the game for 5 seconds, then you're done.”
“Way too many ads; there are so many that the game is unplayable.”

The graphics in the game are visually appealing, but players report significant frame rate drops and lag, particularly when numerous houses and coin particles are present. Many users suggest implementing options to disable certain graphics elements to enhance performance. Overall, while the graphics are enjoyable, performance issues detract from the experience.
“The graphics are stunning and really bring the game world to life.”
“The art style is vibrant and adds a unique charm to the overall experience.”
“The attention to detail in the graphics is impressive, making every environment feel immersive.”
“But the problem is that the graphics start to drop in frame rate after you've built so many houses, so if you could add something to prevent that, it would be very appreciated!”
“It's a fairly fun game to play, but I have to give it a 3-star rating because the millions of coin particles lag me so much. This game would be so much better if you would add a setting to turn off the coin graphics!”
“Improve some graphics.”
