  • monetization
    31 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Monetization in the game is generally unobtrusive with minimal ads, often optional for rewards like rubies, and in-app purchases available but not necessary to enjoy gameplay. However, some users report an increase in ads, especially pushy or unskippable ones promoting other games, which can disrupt the experience and may detract from enjoyment. Overall, while many appreciate the balanced approach, a few express frustration with ad volume and desire a paid option to remove ads entirely.

    • “No ads.”
    • “Great game, just hate that it has in app purchases, not spending my money on rubbish but it is a little addictive.”
    • “I paid for an in game purchase from a third party that should have given me gems.”
    • “Because game timers won't function without the internet and in almost every step of the way, 'rubies' is a necessity which can only be attained through watching ads or by in-app purchases.”
    • “Used to love this, but they push ads for their new games, which isn't a problem until they don't let you close the ad. You have the choice to play their new game or force close the app to get rid of the full-screen ad with no option to close, only the option to install their new game.”
    • “Way too many things going on at once: too many buttons to push, too many ads, too many offers, too much before you get to play the game. It honestly ruins the game.”

    • “The mechanics of the game are simple to grasp and in the lower levels its fun to get upgrades and dig deeper and deeper.”
    • “This makes it impossible to beat your high score through the normal gameplay.”
    • “No real depth to the gameplay and everything is overpriced and won't get you any further ahead.”
    • “Terrible game, no point, bad mechanics, constantly asks for money.”
