Players express disappointment with the monetization model, which requires purchasing the game or opting for a limited free trial, rather than allowing continued play through ad viewing.

Overall, there is a strong desire for more flexible monetization options, such as in-app purchases or ad-supported gameplay.
- “I did enjoy playing the game and helping Mortimer through his dilemmas at the museum; it was fun playing the levels... until you need to buy the game to continue.

So disappointed; I really liked this game!”
- “The gameplay was okay, but I'm disappointed with the must buy or free trial option instead of regular ad watching, because I'd rather watch ads than buy a game I didn't know whether or not I'll play for more than once after I finished it.”
- “I love your games but I don't have the budget to pay for every last game to continue playing. Can you put this game to watch ads to continue playing? I don't mind watching the ads, please and thank you.”
