The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the excessive and often malfunctioning ads that disrupt gameplay and fail to deliver promised rewards. While some users appreciate that ads are optional, the overall sentiment leans towards the game being a cash grab, as progress heavily relies on watching ads or making in-app purchases, which can lead to a frustrating experience. Additionally, issues with ad functionality, such as crashes and unregistered rewards, further detract from the enjoyment of the game.

“Really cute game, but the programming behind the shop option led me to believe no ad benefits were linked to any purchase.”
“Wish I could get no ads; other than that, the game is fun.”
“Once you level up your things so much, you literally have to wait 48 hours for it to finish unless you pay money or watch ads, typical greed.”
“The ads don't work often and that feels like it's on purpose to force me to pay a ridiculously high cost for no ads.”
“I understand ads are important to the developers but sometimes it's extremely excessive and absolutely kills the gameplay and fun.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious, often feeling stuck in a repetitive cycle to regain progress. Suggestions for improvement include reverting to an older upgrade system to reduce the time spent on continuous tapping, especially when players have accumulated significant resources.
“Customer service gave me diamonds 'to help catch me back up,' but it wasn't enough, and I'm stuck grinding away again to regain my progress.”
“I think it would be nice for future games by you to use the old upgrade system rather than the level system, since it can get a bit tedious having to spend 5 minutes continuously tapping if you have a lot of money.”
