The monetization strategy of the game heavily relies on watching ads to earn in-game currency, which many players find frustrating due to long ad durations, glitches, and the prevalence of inappropriate content in some ads. Users express a desire for alternative methods to earn money, such as in-app purchases or gameplay challenges, as the current system feels tedious and inefficient. Overall, while the game is well-received, the monetization approach detracts from the overall experience.
- “I love this game! I just wish I could buy credits to build a car faster. Are you ever going to implement in-game purchases?”
- “I want in-app purchases, please. It takes a long time, and if you have no Wi-Fi, it can be frustrating.”
- “The game is good, really really good, but there are some problems. You see, it's the money and ads. Sometimes the ads don't fit the screen, so we can't see the 'X' button, and we have to restart the game.”
- “I absolutely love this game, but I've run into a slight problem: the video ads aren't working. I click on them, watch the ad, and then click on the thing to look at it on the Play Store; however, it just doesn't give me any money. So far, I've watched 13 ads and yet no money has been added.”
- “The reason why I don't really like the game is because the only way you can get money is from ads, and the ads are very long to end.”

- “This game also has a bit problem in optimization especially in low-end devices, so there is frequent lag and frame drops.”

- “It is a good game; some improvement to the graphics and optimization will make it even better. I'll support who made this game, keep it up.”
- “The game seems unoptimized at times, even on the lowest settings, and still suffers from performance issues.
