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.
