The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming number of ads that appear after nearly every level, often lasting longer than the gameplay itself. Many players express frustration over the aggressive ad placement, which includes unskippable ads and the necessity to watch ads to access certain game features or boosts. Additionally, the subscription model to remove ads, priced at $2.99 per week, is viewed as excessive and has led some users to uninstall the game altogether.
“No ads, no forced purchases.”
“Great game and hard, no ads.”
“Fun, no ads so far either.”
“After you complete the first handful of levels, there's more ads than gameplay, and they're the minute-long forced ads, sometimes 3-4 minutes of ads per level and even more if you're getting stuck on a level, and one between each level, one when you put your phone down mid-game then unlock it again.”
“The game itself is really fun... but $2.99 per week to get rid of ads is absolutely unacceptable.”
“You will spend more time watching ads than playing the game.”

“Ads between every level, so there's more ads than actual gameplay.”
