The monetization aspect of the game has received significant criticism, with players expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads that interrupt gameplay and hinder progress. Many users feel that the game is heavily skewed towards a "pay-to-win" model, where microtransactions are necessary to advance, and the rewards for watching ads are often inconsistent or insufficient. Overall, while some appreciate the option to watch ads for in-game currency, the overwhelming presence of advertisements has led to a negative impact on the gaming experience.

- “The game is highly unfair and only rewards microtransactions and boss coin buyers.”
- “Too many ads and they are getting longer, and you need to go through 3 steps to close an ad.”
