The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, with players reporting an overwhelming number of ads that disrupt gameplay and lead to frequent crashes. While some users find the cost to remove ads reasonable, many feel that the game increasingly pushes players towards in-game purchases to progress, especially as levels become more challenging. Additionally, the nature of some ads has been deemed inappropriate and off-putting, further detracting from the overall experience.
- “There's way too many ads now after updating; I couldn't even enjoy my 3-minute free booster for 2 levels (which is very short usage, by the way).”
- “Used to love this game, but now it has gotten to the point where you have to make purchases every day to get anywhere, as well as watch their ads.”
- “I'm mixed about the game; they don't give you enough of anything even when you watch the ads, so I'm seeing as the boards get harder you need to spend money on gems just to pass one board.”
