  • monetization
    380 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    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 before and after each level. While some players appreciate the option to earn gems through watching ads, many find the frequency and intrusiveness of ads excessive, leading to frustration and a diminished gaming experience. Additionally, the subscription model to remove ads is viewed as steep and not justified by the gameplay offered, with many users expressing dissatisfaction over the perceived cash grab nature of the monetization approach.

    • “The only thing that annoyed me was ads, but I paid for no ads and now it's my go-to game to relax before bed!”
    • “Almost no ads.”
    • “Would be better if the option for unlimited gems (energy) wasn't $32 a month... that's just ridiculous... I play another nonogram game and it gave me unlimited energy and tries for $4.99... no ads at all.”
    • “There's an ad after selecting a level, after completing a level, optional ads for more gems, there's even an ad every time you open the app, which is insane and something I've never dealt with before, even in the most ad-heavy games I've experienced.”
    • “I paid to remove ads for $3.99 and the ads are still there. The game is really enjoyable, but I noticed the ads have been getting really frequent the longer I own the game.”
    • “The game is fun but I'm deeply annoyed that it's like a Mario game; lose too many lives and boom, you gotta start all over. I think I'm gonna go ahead and find a different one. It's kinda fun but not when the game punishes you for making small mistakes. Also, there are too many ads and it gets frustrating.”

    • “More ads than gameplay.”
