The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming number of ads that interrupt gameplay. Many players report being bombarded with ads before, during, and after levels, leading to frustration and a diminished gaming experience.

The higher you get, the more likely you are to lose your game in the middle of it or halfway through it during the ad because the ad will cut your game off and force you to start completely over, which is extremely annoying.”
