The monetization strategy of the game has received significant criticism for its excessive reliance on ads, with many players expressing frustration over being forced to watch ads for upgrades and during gameplay. While some appreciate the option to pay for ad removal, others report that it does not eliminate all ads, leading to a negative experience. Overall, the consensus is that the ad frequency detracts from the enjoyment of the game, with calls for a more balanced approach to monetization.
- “I bought the no ads version a few years ago.”
- “I paid for the no ads feature, but I'm still seeing ads.”
- “This game has potential, but the fact that we have to watch ads to upgrade anything is ridiculous.”
- “The ads are pushed a little too much, and paying $3.99 to remove them doesn't make sense, especially if you uninstall the game. There is no telling if purchases will restore upon reinstall. Also, the worker upgrades don't seem to work for me, so I don't know if it's just me or the game, so look into that.”
- “Forced ads are a horrible business practice.”
