The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the prevalence of ads and in-app purchases.

Overall, players are divided on whether the monetization strategy enhances or detracts from their gaming experience.
- “So a game with no ads, great!”
- “Not been playing for long only a few weeks but so far so good, this is better than prize fiesta and more user friendly and easier to navigate and so far absolutely no ads which is a bonus with no pressure to pay to win it's a nice little game so far it seems genuine and good.”
- “No ads, no need to spend money if you don't want to, it's nice.”
- “Terrible experience when you get to level 75 and you fail; not only do you drop back levels, but it still tries to push payments multiple times. Google refunded me because of loss of items that Prize Blast said I got but I never did. Hope you have a lot of time and money because people have been playing this for three plus years, sinking money into it with no prize payouts. Complete scam app, obviously ads thrown in on top of that. I doubt very much anyone's had anything. Sad that this is avoidable.”
- “It's a crock; they make money off us playing and watching ads while promising prizes that you will never get.”
- “Nothing but a cash grab beyond the first 100 levels.”

The story aspect of the game is generally viewed as engaging and entertaining, with players appreciating the missions and challenges that keep the gameplay interesting. However, many users express frustration over the difficulty in completing the story due to the high resource requirements, leading some to feel that it may be a scam or overly reliant on in-game purchases.

- “The story is entertaining and the games get harder and more challenging, which I love.”
- “Cute characters and funny-looking evil ones too; it fits well. The storyline is fun and it's so relaxing.”
- “Good game, great graphics, story, and adventure.”
- “Impossible to finish the story as you need a ton of bottles to be consumed, plus it takes a ton of gems to continue for 5 more moves. Free spins sometimes won't be free; it will cost 5 gems, and every gem you have is worth saving, but you can't save any gems. It's impossible to finish the story. None of my Facebook friends play; I have almost 300 friends, and nobody on there plays at all. Some I tried inviting said they gave up hope and uninstalled as they never completed the story. Is this a scam?”
- “The quests don't connect for rewards with the other game, Prize Fiesta.”
- “Addictive game, but it takes a while to complete missions and fill up the piggy bank.”

Overall, the gameplay is described as fun, engaging, and addictive, with a colorful aesthetic and a mix of mechanics like slot machines and puzzles. However, some players express frustration with the game's design, noting that it can become overly challenging or intentionally restrictive at later levels, potentially pushing players towards in-game purchases. While many appreciate the unique pirate theme and catchy music, there are concerns about fairness and reward distribution.
- “Gameplay is fun; I am very close to unlocking the prize cave, and the multigame challenge is a great addition.”
- “Graphics are colorful and fun; gameplay is great. I like the mixture of the slot machine to include friends and earn a few cheeky gems and the puzzle game.”
- “Prize blast is exciting and quite different from the other full game ahead games because of the pirate theme, the catchy music, and the engaging gameplay.”
- “The treasure hunt mechanic is also too merciless with the player requirements and chances to win cash via playing alone are limited.”
- “Intentional bad design: the game deliberately, at later levels, refuses to give what is needed to successfully pass stages as either a way to force players to spend money or to prevent progress. Additionally, the core aspect of this app is extremely rare, and you can see multiple stages without said mechanic appearing.”
- “I purchased a welcome chest, and I received nothing...”
