The monetization strategy of the game has been widely criticized for its excessive and intrusive ad placements, with many players reporting ads after nearly every level, leading to frustration and a diminished gameplay experience. While some users are willing to pay to remove ads, they often find that the subscription fees are steep and not justified by the benefits offered. Overall, the game's reliance on ads has overshadowed its positive aspects, causing many players to feel that it prioritizes revenue generation over user enjoyment.
- “The monetization system is a beast.”
- “Very cool and simple gameplay, beautiful level design, lovely 3D art (and some neat free-to-play monetization tricks).”
- “It's the best game ever (I bought play plus, by the way) there are no ads at all.”
- “The free to play option gets annoying with an ad after almost every level, particularly if a level only takes about 2 minutes to beat; you end up spending about a quarter of your time watching ads.”
- “What put an immediate stop was when I saw this game's monetization scheme. While microtransactions are an unfortunate reality of the mobile space, this game opts for much larger and, I feel anyway, more insidious costs.”
- “It's a fine game, but what I disliked the most was that in order to not get ads, you have to pay a subscription which, in my case, costs the same as having Netflix. That was absurd.”

- “I don't like the art since it is really noisy, and the lasers don't blend well with the aesthetic.”
