The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming number of ads that increase dramatically as players progress. Many players report spending more time watching lengthy, unskippable ads than actually playing the game, with some levels requiring multiple ads to complete. The subscription model to remove ads, priced at $2.99 per week, is viewed as excessive and frustrating, leading many to uninstall the game despite its enjoyable gameplay.

- “The game itself is really fun... but $2.99 per week to get rid of ads is absolutely unacceptable.”
