The monetization strategy of the game primarily relies on ads, which players find to be mostly non-obstructive but often excessive and frustrating, particularly due to broken ads and a lack of a reliable skip feature. While some appreciate the option to watch ads for rewards, many users express a desire for a paid ad-free experience, citing that the current ad implementation detracts from their overall enjoyment of the game.
“Good game with a nice presentation, but the 30+ second ads kind of kill the pace.”
“Also, some ads are broken, resulting in a black screen with no way to exit other than restarting the app, making you miss out on the reward.”
“I really enjoyed playing this simple game, it felt relaxing and nostalgic, but the fact that you guys are stating that your ads are skippable and then not letting me skip them is really killing my experience.”

The gameplay features a variety of mechanics that users find engaging, though there is a desire for more entertaining activities for the in-game characters, known as noas.
