The monetization strategy of the game has been heavily criticized for its excessive use of ads, with players reporting that they spend more time watching advertisements than actually playing. Many users expressed frustration over forced ads after nearly every level, as well as intrusive pop-up ads that disrupt gameplay. While some acknowledge the necessity of ads in free games, the overwhelming frequency and length of these ads have led to a negative experience, prompting numerous uninstalls and low ratings.
“No ads, ever!”
“I love that there's no ads, but I was on level 56 and the game crashed. Whenever I go on it, it randomly kicks me out, and not even redownloading works.”
“This is so fun! You should play it; just turn on airplane mode and there are no ads.”
“This isn't a game, it's an ad generator; there are ads while you play and one after every stage.”
