The monetization model of the game primarily relies on microtransactions and an energy system, which many players find frustrating and reminiscent of mobile cash grabs. While some users appreciate the option to play for free without making purchases, they note that progress can be slow and that the game frequently prompts for in-game purchases. Overall, while the game can be enjoyed without spending money, the presence of microtransactions and energy limitations detracts from the experience for many players.
- “If you're not in a huge rush to do things, this method works really well and allows you to play it for free without the need for in-game purchases.”
- “Recommended free-to-play game in which, like most, the in-game purchases will speed up your journey but are not necessary to proceed!”
- “Still, the game is free, and while there are in-game purchases, those are not needed to complete the game.”
- “Paid money into the game for some microtransactions (totally legit, ok, w/e), but to get to the 'end of the game', so to speak, and have it say 'new updates coming soon....and that was back in 2017, 8 years ago, I feel like that was a complete waste.”
- “Unfortunately... they murder the game with the whole 'energy' concept that we frequently see in games with microtransactions.”
- “This is clearly a cash grab made by people with no knowledge of the beloved franchise.”

- “You have no way to reliably acquire these ladders, which makes for a lot of unnecessary grinding to progress in the game.”
