The monetization aspect of the game is heavily criticized for its reliance on ads, which are optional but often necessary for progression, leading to a grindy experience. Many players report issues with ad rewards not functioning properly, causing frustration, and some express dissatisfaction with in-app purchases that feel deceptive or unfulfilling.

- “If you like a long grind for small rewards and lots of ads, this is a game you'll enjoy.”
- “The game was fun to play at first, but when the ads cause the game to reset and not give the rewards for said ad, it started to get irritating, and then when I spent actual money to purchase pearls and it didn't give me the product I paid for, that's when it went from irritating to a straight-up rip-off.”
- “Could be a fun game, but you have to watch literally hundreds of ads to go anywhere in the game... or just pay to win.”
