The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads, particularly after each level or game session. While some appreciate the option to watch ads for bonuses or to speed up gameplay, others find the frequency and length of ads intrusive and detrimental to the overall experience. Additionally, there are complaints about the effectiveness of in-app purchases to remove ads, with some players still encountering ads despite having paid for ad-free gameplay.
“Such a cute little game! I loved it; there are not many ads in it or no ads at all. Love it so much!”
“This game is so cute and I just got it. I already am level 5, and there's no ads unless you want to watch one. Overall, this game is soooo cute!”
“I love it because 1) no ads, 2) it's fun and entertaining, and 3) you just don't get tired of the game.”
“The only problem is you have to watch ads for everything if you want to collect your coins; you're watching an ad.”
“This has always been my favorite game, but what makes me give it a low star is that after every game there will be ads. Most of the time my screen will just turn black, and I have no choice but to close it and open it again, only to find out that I lost the previous level (though I completed it) and whatever I purchased or earned on that level. The sad part is you will see your coins deducted from the previous purchase.”
“You spend more time watching ads than playing the game, and there are the same ads over and over.”
