The monetization strategy of the game heavily relies on frequent and intrusive ads, which many players find disruptive and annoying, often interrupting gameplay after nearly every level. While some users are willing to pay for an ad-free experience, the overwhelming presence of ads detracts significantly from the overall enjoyment and immersion of the game. Despite the game's appealing graphics and mechanics, the excessive ad frequency has led to numerous complaints and even uninstalls from frustrated players.

“Cool puzzle game with tons of levels and no ads.”
“No ads.”
“I don't mind that games are ad-supported, but I'm listening to an audiobook while I play, and frequent very loud ads I can't silence ruined the experience for me.”

The story aspect of the game receives mixed reviews, with some players finding it charming and engaging, while others feel it is unnecessary or poorly integrated with the gameplay. Many appreciate the beautiful graphics and calming ambiance that accompany the story, but some criticize the writing as bland or disconnected from the puzzles. Overall, while the story adds a layer of interest for some, it can also detract from the experience for others, particularly due to issues like small text and frequent interruptions from ads.

“The graphics, the music, the story, absolutely everything about this game is amazing!”
“This game is an amazing, calming experience and gives a real challenge while showing an exciting story at the same time.”
“The story is unnecessary and distracting.”
“But the game creators decided to add a story to the puzzles and instead of trying to create a good story that would add to the game, they added in something that mostly is a lazy template for a story and is painful to read for anyone who understands plot structures and themes.”
“As levels progress, I find myself getting bored quickly, and lose interest in the story.”
