The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, primarily due to the overwhelming number of ads that players must watch to progress, with many ads lasting over 60 seconds. While players appreciate that ads are optional, they feel that the game is designed in a way that makes it nearly impossible to advance without them, leading to frustration. Additionally, there is a strong desire for a one-time purchase option to remove ads entirely, as many users find the current ad experience misleading and detrimental to gameplay.
- “No one-time purchase to remove all ads, only consumable tickets.”
- “Ads are extremely long, and you need them frequently to proceed.”
- “You will spend as much time swatting away ads and bids for you to spend $10 on some random 'limited time offer' as playing the actual game.”
