The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with many users expressing frustration over misleading advertisements that claim the game is ad-free and does not require in-app purchases. Players report being bombarded with ads, often for rewards that fail to load, and feel pressured to spend money to progress effectively.
