  • monetization701 mentions

    The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming frequency of ads, which often interrupt gameplay every 30 seconds to a minute. Many players express frustration over the inability to enjoy the game without constant ad breaks, and even those who pay for an ad-free experience report still encountering ads. While some users acknowledge the necessity of ads for a free game, the consensus is that the current implementation is excessive and detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game.

    • “It's an absolutely insane amount of ads.”
    • “The sheer amount of ads is ridiculous, constantly interrupting gameplay (you know, the thing you download these things for??) instead of making me want to buy your ad remover it makes me, and others, want to delete your game.”
    • “You'd be a solid four if there weren't ads shoved in your face or microtransactions.”

  • stability14 mentions

    The game's stability is a significant issue, with numerous users reporting frequent glitches, crashes, and freezing, particularly when the gameplay involves multiple jellies or during the prestige process. While some players enjoy the game and find it relaxing, the overall consensus highlights a frustrating experience due to persistent technical problems that detract from gameplay.

    • “This is amazing! I think this because the game has so much detail, there are not many ads, and I just can't stop playing it. It gets all my anger out, and if you have ADHD, I would definitely recommend this for you. It's so peaceful and relaxing. If you're bored, this is always the perfect game for you. You will love it! I downloaded this a few days ago, and I'm still enjoying it now. I'm not getting bored of it; there are no glitches or anything, except if you have a glitchy phone. But if not, this game will be perfect!”

    • “I was expecting a Tetris-like game that had graphics that were nice to look at.”
    • “It doesn't seem like it has a lot of graphics, so I'm not sure why this happens. I know it's not my phone because it runs more demanding apps without getting this hot.”
