The monetization strategy of this game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming number of ads that appear after nearly every level, often lasting longer than the gameplay itself. Many players feel misled by advertisements claiming the game is ad-free or can be played offline, only to encounter forced ads and the requirement for an internet connection. While there is an option to pay $5.99 to remove ads, users report that this does not eliminate all advertisements, leading to frustration and a perception of deceptive marketing practices.
“The game itself is fine in some ways, but has a few annoyances where they try to push you into their monetization scheme, but that's pretty par for the course these days.”
“The other high note on that review and the reason I downloaded the game was that there aren't ads after every level.”
“Love the game but the in-app purchases are showing up for me even if I try to restore.”
“After every single round there are ads, no breaks and you also need to watch ads so you can win.”
“I specifically downloaded this game because it was advertised as ads free...big fat lie!!”
“You will spend more time watching ads than playing the game.”
