Excessive ads, including pop-ups and mandatory ads after short puzzle rounds, which can be intrusive and sometimes buggy.

monetization
257 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
6% positive mentions, 1% neutral mentions, 93% negative mentions
Monetization in the game relies heavily on ads, which are often frequent, repetitive, and sometimes intrusive, detracting from the gameplay experience; although many ads are optional and offer rewards like extra coins, the quantity and mandatory nature of some ads frustrate players. While there is an inexpensive option to remove banner and pop-up ads, paid removal does not fully eliminate ads, especially those tied to in-game bonuses, leading to mixed feelings about its value. Overall, the game's monetization balances free access and rewards for watching ads but can feel overwhelming, with many players expressing a desire for fewer or better-managed ad interruptions.
- “It has minimal ads, doesn't shove tons of in-app purchases in your face, it has tons of different but classic games, and you get to buy cute little fish!”
- “I also appreciate being able to add to the aquarium through gameplay and not in-app purchases!”
- “The puzzles are super fun, and you don't need to make in-app purchases if you want to beat them and buy fish”
- “Too many ads to the point of being unplayable.”
- “Too many unskippable ads.”
- “Paying to remove the adverts only removes the banner and the random pop-up ads, doesn't stop the ads showing for the 5x coins which would be worth paying for.”
