The monetization strategy of the game is generally well-received, with players appreciating that ads are optional and not intrusive.

“There are microtransactions, but it's easy to progress without spending any real money.”
“While there are microtransactions, it's possible to (slowly) earn bux in-game for cosmetics and their usage beyond that is in a pay-to-speed-up capacity as opposed to pay-to-win.”
“This game is really fun, there's no ads popping up every 2 seconds and it's interesting, a real attention grabber!”
“So yeah, it's one more of those games that appeal to stupid microtransactions, in subtle ways trying to get you to watch ads and pay for in-game cash.”
“This game is sh*t this game is an absolute pile of dog sh*t and a complete cash grab for money and it's not even fun it's essentially a taping game but with the clash of clans style wanting system you can not progress this game without using you're wallet so don't bother installing it if you're not gonna.”
“The only things holding it back are the ads.”
