    Monetization in this game heavily relies on frequent and often intrusive ads, including full-screen videos with sound that disrupt gameplay and sometimes cover important game areas, making expert modes unplayable for some users. While some players find the ads manageable or appreciate offline play to avoid them, many express frustration over the lack of a paid ad-free option, aggressive ad content, and non-skippable durations, which significantly detract from the overall experience.
