The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the frequency and length of advertisements, particularly those that interrupt gameplay. While some users appreciate the option to watch ads for in-game rewards, others find the reliance on ads for supplies and upgrades excessive and time-consuming. A few players noted that the game can be played offline with minimal ads, but overall, the consensus is that the ad experience detracts from the enjoyment of the game.
βThe game is completely best and has no ads.β
βI really love this game then no ads and also no technical issues in this game ππ if you on the net it will come continuously or else it will not come bey bey π₯°π₯°π₯°π₯°β
βThis game is awesome to play no ads are here i like to say that pls play this gameβ
βFor every level it uses 10 supplies, so I can play this game for like 20 minutes and then it takes hours to refill those supplies, but we can watch ads for that. However, for each ad we gain only one supply (so if you have the patience and strength to watch so many ads, then go on).β
βThe game is good but the amount of ads that are shown is irritating. I have to watch ads after every level, which makes it difficult to enjoy the game.β
βThis game is very fun but there are ads after every level and sometimes 4 ads altogether. It's very frustrating and interrupts the gameplay.β
