Many users express frustration over the overwhelming number of ads, which detracts significantly from the overall gaming experience, leading some to consider uninstalling the game entirely.

- “This game is actually pretty decent, but the reason it's rated 3 stars is because it's kind of glitchy and there is no music or any sound effects in the game.
