The monetization strategy of this game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming number of ads that disrupt gameplay. Many players report experiencing ads after nearly every action, with some stating that they spent more time watching ads than actually playing the game. Even those who paid to remove ads found that they continued to appear, leading to frustration and, in many cases, uninstallation of the app.

“I enjoyed this game, so I paid for no ads, but around level 12, the pictures started to cycle and the questions were the same.”
“Love the game, not the ads.”
“The amount of ads for this type of game completely takes away from the enjoyment.”

“The ads are enough for me; when the hint comes up and I didn't touch it, they just play ads. After a few levels in the game, I can see a pattern: after 2 rounds of answering the riddles, they play ads, and it's not funny. I'm sorry, it's not fun at all.”
“Not funny.”
“There is nothing funny about playing games.”

The gameplay experience is significantly hindered by an overwhelming number of ads, often resulting in more time spent watching advertisements than actually playing. While the puzzles are generally decent, the repetitive nature of the levels and intrusive hints detract from the overall enjoyment. Many users express frustration with the disconnect between the advertised gameplay and the actual experience, leading to a negative perception of the game.
“Gameplay is fine, puzzles are decent, ads every 2 taps is the most agonizing thing.”
“Good game in concept but far too many ads...in 3 minutes I've had to watch 4 ads...more ads than gameplay.”
“Flawed gameplay and riddled with ads.”
“Not to mention ads every time you get an answer right is a bit extreme. I get it for hints and at the end of a level, but damn, I had to watch 8 ads just to pass a level. Each star only takes maybe a minute, so you're spending more time watching ads than you are in actual gameplay, and I wouldn't pay for a game that just repeats levels.”
“Gameplay is fine, puzzles are decent, but ads every 2 taps are the most agonizing thing.”
“Good game in concept but far too many ads. In 3 minutes, I've had to watch 4 ads—more ads than gameplay.”
