The monetization strategy of the game is a mixed bag, with many players appreciating the optional nature of ads that provide rewards without being intrusive. However, numerous users report technical issues, such as crashes and connection problems when attempting to watch ads, which detracts from the experience. While some players manage to progress without spending money, others feel that the game increasingly favors those willing to pay for faster progression, leading to frustration among free-to-play users.
“Microtransactions are also super easy to avoid and not integral to the game, which makes progression easy and painless.”
“In-app purchases feel completely optional.”
“Very cute game, no ads unless you want some extra money or gems, easy to understand and super enjoyable.”

“Update: I can't play the ads to get extra money, gems, and storage in my inventory in the game anymore, so if this keeps up I'm uninstalling this game.”
