The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with players expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads, particularly unskippable video ads that disrupt gameplay. Many users report that ads appear too frequently, often during critical moments in matches, leading to a frustrating experience. While some players appreciate the option to purchase an ad-free experience, they note that this feature is often reset after updates, further aggravating the situation.
- “Best game ever 5/5 because no ads, no interruptions, just no anger and I chill because I keep on accidentally leaving on leave 12-15. I just demolish everyone by starting tiny to big because the portals help you, and there's potions and bombs. When I'm big, I just split and kill a lot of big people that are smaller than me.”
