The monetization model of the game has received significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming number of ads that interrupt gameplay and the temporary nature of unlocked content, which often expires after 24 hours. Many players express frustration over the reliance on ads to access characters and features, with some suggesting that in-app purchases should be minimized or eliminated altogether. Overall, while the game is appreciated for its fun elements, the monetization strategy is seen as detrimental to the overall experience.
- “It's nice, no ads really, I would rate this 4 stars because I got bored with it and you can unlock characters with ads that only last for 24 hours!”
- “The only reason I put a four star is because there are in-app purchases and you have to pay for some stuff.”
- “Places to discover and in my opinion, I don't think you should add in-app purchases.”
- “Sometimes the walls and floor become blue and when we unlock something by watching ads or manually unlock places it becomes locked when we leave the game, which isn't supposed to happen.”
- “None of the characters look the same in the real games, nothing works, everything costs ads and when you watch the ad it's only for 24 hours. It gives you useless tutorials about the same thing after you've just done it, and you have to pay just to use this boring game for a couple of minutes.”
- “This game could be a lot more fun and better if you didn't have to pay for almost everything and every time I try to get something by watching an advertisement it kicks me out of it.”

The music aspect of the game has received mixed feedback, with some players noting a lack of engaging music, which contributes to a sense of boredom.
