The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback due to the excessive number of ads. Players report being inundated with ads after nearly every level, often spending more time watching ads than actually playing the game, which significantly detracts from the overall experience. While some users acknowledge the need for ads in free games, many express frustration over the frequency and length of these ads, leading to uninstalls and a desire for a paid ad-free version.
- “No in-app purchases required.”
- “Would happily pay 99p for no ads.”
- “I love this game very much because there are no ads.”
- “Not only do I get the option for ads after each game, but there are ad-walls, levels you can only unlock by ads, random ads when you finish a level, random ads in the middle of the level, and if you tab out you get an ad when you come back. These are not simple picture ads.”
- “You spend more time watching ads than what you put in the game.”
- “This game is riddled with ads that play after every level. While the gameplay itself is okay and the puzzles are very easy, watching ads every 5 seconds or so is very annoying.”
