The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, with many users expressing frustration over the overwhelming presence of ads that are integral to gameplay, such as reviving characters or accessing features. While some players appreciate the game's simplicity, the pervasive ad experience is seen as a cash grab, detracting from overall enjoyment and leading to calls for options to disable ads. Overall, the monetization approach has negatively impacted user satisfaction, with many labeling it as excessive and annoying.
- “If you want no ads, just go offline.”
- “The monetization model is fair and doesn't hinder gameplay.”
- “I appreciate that there are options to support the game without feeling pressured.”
- “App created with sole purpose of getting money with ads from players - it's unbelievable. You just created a game, then you can't do anything unless you watch an ad - everything is watch an ad. You lose your character? Go ahead and watch an ad in order to revive - disgusted. Not to mention, controls are abysmal - app created in a rush - remove this toxic feature by tomorrow or uninstall.”
- “Just a cash grab, game is terrible and could be made with no resources and even less time. Load of ads and just really boring. To put this game and Brotato in the same group is a complete joke.”
