The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many users expressing frustration over the frequency and length of ads required to unlock puzzles. While some appreciate the option to pay a one-time fee to remove ads and access additional content, others feel that the reliance on ads has become excessive, making the game less enjoyable for free players.
