The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with users expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads that interrupt gameplay and hinder progress. Many players report that after reaching around $90, the game stops providing opportunities to earn coins or watch ads, effectively locking them out of cashing out. Overall, players feel that the game is designed primarily to generate ad revenue for the developers rather than to provide a genuine opportunity to earn money, leading to accusations of it being a scam.
βIt's a pretty good game if you don't mind playing a long game, but it's worth it. No ads stop you from playing this game like most of the other games you play on here.β
βThe game has been stuck with no ads for 2 days after saying 4 hours and 36 minutes until a new ad.β
βFor the last week, I get a message saying that there are no ads available.β
βIt's a scam for you to watch a lot of ads so they can get paid off of you watching them.β
βTotal scam, once you get close to the $100 you stopped getting ads and green coins at all.β
βYou will watch 1000s of ads and never get paid.β

The game suffers from significant stability issues, with frequent glitches and freezes that disrupt gameplay, especially when players are close to winning rewards. Many users report that the game often fails to register wins, particularly when nearing cash-out thresholds, leading to frustration and a perception that the game is rigged. Overall, while some players enjoy the game, the overwhelming consensus is that its stability problems severely hinder the experience.
βNo glitches since I started. Have a good day! πββοΈπβ
βThe game runs smoothly without any crashes or bugs.β
βI've experienced consistent performance throughout my playtime.β
βMoreover, the screen is buggy; buttons appear on either side of the screen but cannot be accessed.β
βEvery time you get close to a reward, the app freezes. I wouldn't blame the app for this if it didn't happen every single time a reward is close.β
βYou get to $94 and the game glitches and crashes. Nobody ever gets to $100; the game is a scam. You're just wasting your time.β

The humor in the game is often described as ironic and self-deprecating, with players finding amusement in the game's misleading promises and the absurdity of their experiences, such as the frustratingly timed coin drops and the lack of available ads for cashing out.

Overall, the humor seems to stem from the game's contradictions and the players' shared experiences of feeling duped yet entertained.
βIt's hilarious the advert pretending you win all this money.β
βUmm...I'm over here just laughing maniacally (within my inner dialogue, of course) as I just drop handfuls of coins at a time onto this table and, coupled with the 'pusher', they create a wave of coins that just drop right into my little bank.β
βDeserves -5 stars (and that's negative five) .. weird how laws of physics are totally ignored, and the timing of coins falling while your scoop is dumping is hilarious.β
βNot funny to me.β

Players consistently describe the grinding aspect of the game as tedious and frustrating, often likening it to a scam due to the minimal rewards for extensive effort. Many express skepticism about the feasibility of earning significant amounts through grinding, suggesting that the process is overly time-consuming and ultimately unrewarding.
βIt's the exact same as all these types of games; you need a certain amount of tokens or whatever, and it only gives you like... $0.01 at a time. After grinding for literal months, you might win like... $5.β
βAnd even if you just want to play a game like this, after a while it becomes incredibly tedious.β
βAbsolute scam, you won't get the $100 by grinding the game manually.β

βGreat music and visually stimulating.β
βFun with catchy music πΆπ΅β
βWith all that big fanfare with the screen showered with green cash coins, the exciting music, flashing green border, etc.β
βWith all that big fanfare with the screen showered with green cash coins, the exciting music, flashing green border, etc., it was a little bit of a letdown to see that I earned only $1.10.β
βIt would be better to just listen to music.β
