The monetization strategy in the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the excessive and aggressive ad placements that are often necessary for progression. While some users appreciate the option to watch ads for bonuses, they feel that the game heavily relies on ads and microtransactions, making it difficult to advance without spending money or time watching lengthy advertisements. Overall, while the game is enjoyable, the monetization approach is seen as a significant drawback, with calls for a more balanced system.
- “This game is very fun and entertaining; there's basically no ads. This game is amazing.”
- “No ads is a must buy if you want to play this game.”
- “Best game ever! So cute, no ads, best game.”
- “Fun idle, but the ads are forced way too aggressively, the most out of any game I've played recently.”
- “It's a fun and good game, but I find myself watching more ads than playing, and there's almost no opportunities to get gems other than by paying for them.”
- “Concept is great, too bad this is just another cash grabbing (ads grabbing) game. Decorations that have to be bought with diamonds should give just a boost rather than a necessity, earning rate is so low while what you need is much more than the earning rate.”

The gameplay is generally well-received for its cute visuals and simple yet engaging mechanics, making it an enjoyable time-waster. However, players have noted issues with gem bottlenecks and the reliance on ads for progression, which can lead to frustration and boredom after short play sessions. Overall, while the game offers a fun experience, it may require adjustments to improve the balance between gameplay and monetization.
- “Cute and simple mechanics make this game an easy to play time waster!”
- “Unique art style, simple gameplay but in depth enough to keep my attention and it doesn't force ads on you.”
- “Loved the gameplay and funny cats!”
- “Keep paid currency for money boosts and time saves, and keep it out of the main gameplay loop!”
- “Gems bottleneck the gameplay when you need to upgrade a room for later companies, and it's unfortunately extremely easy to misclick when the notification for the free fertilizer in the shop is ready, and accidentally spend gems on a normal fertilizer as the button is in the same place.”
- “Idle game that combines real-time and in-game time mechanics which makes the game must be opened all the time. Max offline time is 2 hours which is a big no to get earnings; you must pay in-game cash first or watch an ad and also be limited to certain real-time hours.”
