The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming number of ads that interrupt gameplay and the removal of options to earn rewards through watching ads. Many players express frustration over the forced in-app purchases and the perception that the game is rigged to encourage spending, leading to a decline in enjoyment and some opting to uninstall the game altogether. While a few users appreciate the absence of ads in earlier versions, the current state is seen as excessively commercialized, detracting from the overall gaming experience.
“Other than that, the game is a lot of fun and the best part is, no ads and you can get really far in the game before you have to actually put real money into it.”
“Great relaxing game with a reasonable in-app purchase system.”
“Absolutely no ads & very addictive!!”
“Deleted the game as I can't bear watching 3 to 6 adverts at a time at 30 seconds per advert, and they've got the cheek to ask you to buy power-ups if you don't watch the ads to get them.”
“It's overwhelming, all those ads you need to now watch if you want to progress.”
“I loved this game until they started forcing us to make in-app purchases, and the higher you go, the harder it gets to the point where it's near impossible to pass the level.”
