The monetization strategy of this game has drawn significant criticism from users, with many expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads that interrupt gameplay. Players report spending more time watching ads than actually playing, with frequent full-screen ads appearing after nearly every level, leading to a perception that the game is primarily an ad generator rather than a genuine gaming experience. While some users acknowledge the need for ads in free games, the overwhelming frequency and length of these ads have resulted in many uninstalling the game altogether.
“I love that there's no ads.”
“No ads, ever!”
“I wish we could go back to when games had no ads.”
“This isn't a game, it's an ad generator; there are ads while you play and one after every stage.”
“You spend more time watching ads than playing the game.”
“The game is so nice, it's just that you have a lot of ads.”

The music aspect of the game has received largely negative feedback, with many users noting the complete absence of sound or music, which contributed to a lack of engagement and enjoyment. While some found the game fun and cute, the lack of musical elements and the presence of intrusive ads detracted from the overall experience. Additionally, one user described the game music as "terribly disgusting," further emphasizing the dissatisfaction with the audio experience.
“Quite good! I've got no ads, but the game music is terribly disgusting.”
“Simple logic gets progression to the next level, but with no sound or music, it got boring quite quickly. It asks for a review after only 4 levels and ads pop up right after a level is over.”
“The fact that it has no tone whatsoever (music or anything) doesn't bother me as much as the constant hunger for money.”
“It was fun and cute, but not much of a challenge, and the lack of music was a bit of a buzzkill.”
