- “The game is very smooth and the mechanics are great.”
- “It's a very fun and interesting game, though the mechanics aren't unique, the game itself is.”

The game is praised for its lack of ads, which enhances the overall experience, allowing players to enjoy the content without interruptions. While there are optional in-app purchases for expansions and cosmetics, many players appreciate that the base game offers substantial content for free. However, some users express concerns about the limited levels available without purchases, suggesting a potential need for a more balanced monetization strategy.
- “It was awesome that there are no ads and there's unlockable content through purchase, but you get plenty of game with no money.”
- “No ads, in-app purchases are strictly content, not boosts.”
- “Great gameplay, no ads, tons of fun free content, probably tons of fun purchasable additional content too, but I am poor.”
- “The game itself is great, but there are only a little over 72 levels for players to play without in-app purchases, which most people can't complete, so eventually, players would quit due to having nothing to do.”
- “Good game, but if you want money with ads, most people don't want to play for that. You can put ads at the end of a game to skip a level or unlock something, and also implement game currency for evolution.”
- “In-app purchases won't work; I tried twice and lost my money.”
