The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback from users, primarily due to the excessive and intrusive nature of the ads. Many players report that ads appear after nearly every action, often requiring multiple clicks to close, which disrupts gameplay and leads to frequent crashes. Users express a strong desire for an option to pay to remove ads, as the current ad experience significantly detracts from their enjoyment of the game.

“No in-app purchases required.”
“No microtransactions, no rigging the game to 'encourage' people to buy boosts...just a fun game that continues to be fun.”
“The ads are ridiculous to exit from, you have to push multiple x's to get out.”

“I would give this game 5 stars if there were any way to remove the overly frequent ads that are impossible to ignore.”
