The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming number of ads that interrupt gameplay. Many players report that they spend more time watching ads than actually playing, with ads appearing before, during, and after puzzles, leading to frustration and game crashes. While some users acknowledge the necessity of ads for a free game, the frequency and intrusiveness of these ads, along with high subscription costs to remove them, have led to many uninstalling the game or expressing dissatisfaction.

- “I decided to pay for no ads, as I felt it was worth it.”
- “Really enjoy this game even paid for no ads.”
