The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming number of ads that interrupt gameplay, often appearing even in menus and settings. Many players express frustration over the ineffectiveness of paid options to remove ads, with some reporting continued ad interruptions despite purchasing ad-free versions. Additionally, the high costs associated with in-app purchases and subscriptions are seen as exploitative, particularly for a game aimed at children, leading to accusations of it being a cash grab.

“We paid the subscription fee, but still, we're bombarded by ads!”
“My child accidentally installed this game from an advertisement and bought a weekly subscription for an exorbitant amount.”
