The monetization strategy of the game has been heavily criticized due to an overwhelming number of ads, with many players reporting ads after nearly every level and even before gameplay begins. While some users acknowledge that ads are expected in free games, the frequency and intrusiveness of the ads have led to frustration, making the game feel more like an advertisement platform than an enjoyable experience. A few players suggested that turning off Wi-Fi can mitigate the ad overload, but overall, the consensus is that the excessive ads significantly detract from the gameplay.
“I love this because there are no ads.”
“Is there an option to pay for no ads?”
“Turn off Wi-Fi for no ads.”
