The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming number of ads required to play. Players report needing to watch multiple ads to earn tokens, which are necessary to access puzzles, leading to frustration over the limited gameplay without spending money. While some users are willing to tolerate ads for a free experience, many feel that the frequency and length of ads—often unskippable—detract from the overall enjoyment of the game, with some considering the monetization approach excessively aggressive and a cash grab.
- “I enjoy all the puzzles and have been able to access all the daily page puzzles without a subscription; I haven't felt the need to subscribe except for no ads.”
- “Paying an annual fee at approximately 10p/day means no ads - definitely worth it as access to all the earlier games means unlimited brain workout and great variety.”
- “Monetization might seem excessive at first, but it's actually pretty reasonable compared to most other apps.”
- “The amount of ads required to get tokens to solve the puzzles is mildly irritating.”
- “You literally cannot play this game without watching ads.”
