- “The graphics are very good and it looks so real.”

The monetization model of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with players expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads that interrupt gameplay and the pressure to make in-app purchases to progress. Many users feel that the game is designed primarily to generate revenue through ads and microtransactions, often leading to a "pay-to-win" experience. The lack of options to remove ads or earn in-game currency without watching numerous ads has further contributed to the dissatisfaction, making the overall experience feel more like a cash grab than a fun game.
- “So far it's going well; no ads or anything like that, but the graphics are blurry. Maybe it's the network, but it's a great game.”
- “It also stuffs your face with microtransactions, but they aren't necessary to play.”
- “There are microtransactions though, so that's the important thing!”
- “The most annoying thing(s) are ads, that last much longer than the game itself and finally the game becomes boring to play. Also, it's bad that you can't save previous goals and without enough money you have to start a whole level again. So, 1 star from me because of this never-ending, upsetting ads.”
- “It's obviously designed like this to make you either watch ads or buy in-app purchases.”
- “You'll spend more time watching ads than playing the game anyway, so I guess the gameplay isn't too important to the developers. It's all about that ad revenue.”
