The monetization strategy of the game has been heavily criticized for its excessive ad placements, with players reporting that ads interrupt gameplay after nearly every round, making the experience feel more like an ad platform than a game. While the game itself is enjoyable, the overwhelming frequency of ads has led many users to consider uninstalling it, as they find it detracts significantly from their overall enjoyment.

“The game itself is fun but there are way too many ads.”
“Way too many ads...makes it super annoying to play, definitely uninstalling...too bad though because it's an enjoyable game.”
