The monetization model of the game has received significant criticism for its reliance on in-app purchases, which many players feel are excessive and misleading, as the game is advertised as free but only allows access to a limited number of levels without payment. While some users appreciate the game's quality, they express disappointment over the lack of transparency regarding the need to pay for additional content, with many suggesting that a more ad-supported model would be preferable. Overall, the monetization strategy has left a negative impression, with calls for clearer communication about the game's limitations and costs.
“No ads except for itself at the end of some levels.”
“It is fun and easy, more than just the old Lego Star Wars game, and there's no ads.”

“They somehow found a way to put microtransactions into a game that already grossed more than enough money for it to sit on.”
“Was a good game but is advertised here as free. You start playing, get through 3 levels, then it decides to tell you to pay to continue. Not impressed at all; false advertisement. I get in-app purchases, but it should state right here that it's not the full game.”
“You have to buy in-app purchases to play the whole game!”
