The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback due to the excessive number of ads, which appear after nearly every level and often last longer than the gameplay itself. Many players express frustration over unskippable ads, feeling that the game prioritizes ad revenue over user experience, leading to a significant number of uninstalls. While some users acknowledge the need for ads in free games, the frequency and intrusiveness of these ads have been described as a major deterrent to enjoying the game.
“I think it's fun and there's a reasonable amount of ads, so I like it. 5 stars if no ads, but you gotta make money somehow, and that's reasonable.”
“Good mental workout, haven't hit any paywalls and the microtransactions are fairly limited.”
“Very good game, no ads; they are all optional and the game itself is very satisfying plus it gives you a free spin. Recommend!”
“The game itself is fun and challenging and looks charming, what's not charming are the unskippable ads after literally every turn.”
“I understand monetizing a game (developers gotta eat) but the amount of ads is crazy.”
“You can pay to remove the ads but you can't even get far enough into the game to see if you like it enough to pay without being force-fed ads until you can't take it anymore.”
