The monetization strategy of the game has received significant criticism, primarily due to the prevalence of forced ads and the requirement for a monthly subscription to remove them. Many players express a preference for a one-time payment option to eliminate ads, as the current model feels excessive and intrusive, detracting from the overall enjoyment of the game. While some users find the ad frequency manageable, the general consensus leans towards dissatisfaction with the monetization approach, particularly regarding the lack of rewards for watching ads and the invasive nature of certain advertisements.
“I'm well over 1000 levels into this and with almost no ads after the early levels and a consistent run of goals and missions, this is a very enjoyable game.”
“I wish I didn't have to pay monthly for no ads, but the ads are not really that bad.”
“One payment, no ads.”
“I really do enjoy playing it, but the forced ads really drive me away, with the only option to remove them being a recurring payment.”
“You can pay to remove ads... but it's a monthly subscription, and as cute as the game is, it's not worth $5 a month.”
“The ads are a little too much and the fact that we have to pay monthly rather than a one flat rate to remove them is ridiculous.”

The game's story is characterized by a charming yet simplistic narrative that revolves around customizable characters and light-hearted missions.

Overall, the storyline feels incomplete and could benefit from more variety and updates to maintain player interest.
“I love all the characters and the little missions.”
“The characters are adorable, and the little stories and quests are so fun.”
“Great storyline also”
“However, after playing through 250+ boards, there has been no update or change to the storyline given early on in the game.”
“The storyline seems incomplete and just ends after about 1,500 mazes.”
“There just wasn't enough of a story throughout the game to keep interest like the Lawncorp heist at the beginning of the game.”

The gameplay is characterized by its simple mechanics and cute aesthetic, making it easy to learn and enjoyable for casual play. However, many players find the puzzles to be overly simplistic and repetitive, lacking the complexity that the mechanics could support. Additionally, the presence of frequent ads and time gating detracts from the overall experience, leading some to feel more like a target for monetization than engaged players.
“The game has a lot in common as far as style with just mowing, but the gameplay is totally different.”
“Cute aesthetic and mechanics that are simple to learn but still require some thought for the various levels.”
“Great gameplay without being too challenging.”
“My only complaint is the puzzles remain dirt simple and repeat surprisingly often. The mechanics are there for the puzzles to get really complex, but they don't. It's easy to just keep playing, which is the point I guess, so they can hit you with ads every few levels.”
“There are a lot of ads, some of which you have to press a tiny 'x' on up to 4 different screens to get back to gameplay. I get that this is the norm nowadays, but these ads are not vetted to be safe for families.”
“Throw in the time gating mechanics and this game, rather than joy, just makes me feel like a wallet to be squeezed.”
