monetization

The monetization strategy of the game heavily relies on ads, requiring players to watch multiple ads daily to earn in-game currency for upgrades and costumes, which can feel tedious and time-consuming. While there are options to earn coins through ads or daily rewards, many players find the process frustrating, leading to a pay-to-win dynamic for those unwilling to spend significant time watching ads. Overall, the invasive ad presence detracts from the gameplay experience, with some players expressing dissatisfaction over the necessity of real-money purchases to progress.
- “An app that is free to download should allow players to progress through the game without the need for real money in-game purchases.”
- “The monetization model is fair, providing plenty of opportunities to enjoy the game without spending a dime.”
- “I appreciate that the game offers cosmetic items for purchase, but it never feels necessary to spend money to enjoy the full experience.”
- “Yes, there is an option to make 1500 coins a day for ads, but you'd have to wait 5 days to get enough money for the first upgrade that gets you barely any charm points.”
- “Although it eventually becomes a pay-to-win game if you don't want to spend months watching ads every day to get coins.”
- “An app that is free for download should be capable of playing all the way through without the need to make in-game purchases with real money.”
