The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback from users, primarily due to the excessive number of ads that interrupt gameplay. Many players report being forced to watch multiple ads before, during, and after puzzles, with some stating that they spend more time watching ads than actually playing the game. While some users understand the need for ads in free games, the frequency and length of these ads—often ranging from 30 seconds to over a minute—have led to frustration and a decline in overall enjoyment, prompting some to consider uninstalling the app or seeking alternatives.
