The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the frequency of ads, which can disrupt gameplay and lead to crashes. While some users appreciate the option to remove ads for a small fee, others find in-app purchases to be overpriced for the benefits they provide. Overall, the game is praised for its engaging content, but the heavy reliance on ads and microtransactions detracts from the experience for many players.
- “Amazing game, no ads!”
- “Not sure if I didn't do something in game, but just logging into an account should be enough since many games do that... also there's sketchy microtransactions (like in any mobile game), so beware...”
- “Really cool concept, could use a bunch of newer in-game features such as a daily VIP reward and more daily quest rewards and other stuff would be nice... a lot of ads!”
- “Your first purchase ($0.99) gets rid of third-party ads and all you see are theirs!”
- “The in-app purchases are way too expensive for only giving a minimal amount of in-game currency.”
- “Way too many ads, like after every other game, and it'll even ask if you want to watch an ad for extra currency, then show you one even if you didn't, but then you don't get the cash.”
