Monetization in this game is heavily criticized for aggressive and frequent advertising starting around level 30-50, with mandatory ads after nearly every level, which disrupts gameplay and frustrates players. While initial levels offer few or no ads and optional ad-watching for bonuses, the sudden surge in forced ads and high-priced in-app purchases, including ineffective "no ads" bundles, create a negative experience viewed as a cash grab. Some players appreciate minimal or optional ads early on, but overall, the excessive and often unskippable ads significantly undermine enjoyment.
- “The best thing of all is no ads.”
- “Very fun and entertaining at times and minimum if not no advertisements in the game at all and it's pretty straightforward.”
- “Amazing game easy to play no ads.”
- “But after a while, the ads were inserted whether I agreed to them or not, and it felt like I was being cheated.”
- “This game just wants to burn your money, ads every round, super high prices for anything ruined the fun.”
- “If you say no to ads and one plays anyway, I immediately close and uninstall without any consideration for getting the ad-free version.”

The gameplay is generally praised for its unique, engaging puzzle mechanics and smooth, relaxing flow, though some find it repetitive or frustrating due to limited lives and intrusive ads or microtransactions. While new mechanics are introduced gradually to maintain interest, criticisms include annoying interruptions, high continuation costs, and insufficient tutorials. Overall, the game offers a fresh puzzle experience but is marred by monetization practices that disrupt enjoyment for some players.
- “With its unique premise and engaging gameplay, it offers a refreshing take on the puzzle genre that is both relaxing and satisfying.”
- “A seemingly simple puzzle game that manages to effectively utilise its mechanics, and has a strong difficulty curve to boot.”
- “Finally a mobile puzzle game with some novel mechanics, with a steady introduction of additional complexity.”
- “At the core of its gameplay it's a solid puzzle game but ruined by microtransactions and ads.”
- “They add a mechanic that you can lose even if you clear the board with plenty of slots left. And this mechanic is in every single level. Very stupid mechanic.”
- “(and it was advertised as 'no mandatory ads'.) Update: the mechanic introduced around level 100, pin removal, makes your device vibrate even if you have vibration turned off in the game's settings.”

Grinding in the game is initially enjoyable and well-paced, with new mechanics introduced gradually, but after around 30-60 levels it becomes tedious and heavily reliant on ads, leading to a frustrating experience for many players.

- “Seems to have glitches where it won't run smoothly.”
