  • monetization1,197 mentions

    The monetization strategy of this game has drawn significant criticism from users, with many expressing frustration over the excessive number and length of ads. Players report spending more time watching ads—often 30 seconds or longer—than actually playing the game, with ads appearing after nearly every level and even during gameplay. Despite the option to pay for an ad-free experience, many users found that ads still persisted, leading to a widespread sentiment that the game prioritizes ad revenue over user experience.

    • “I went ahead and paid the $2.99 for no ads and it's worth it.”
    • “Fun, the no ads option should be titled 'reduced ads'.”
    • “The game would be great if you didn't have to waste an arm and a leg on it and/or watch a ton of ads all the time.”

  • gameplay30 mentions

    The gameplay is generally described as enjoyable and addictive, with intriguing mechanics; however, it is severely hampered by an overwhelming number of ads that often exceed the actual gameplay time. Many users report frustration with the frequency and length of ads, leading to a poor overall experience where gameplay feels secondary to ad viewing. While there is potential for a great game, the excessive ad interruptions significantly detract from the enjoyment.

    • “I love the concept of it; even the mechanics are intriguing.”
    • “Only giving 2 stars because the actual gameplay is enjoyable... when you can actually play and aren't watching ads.”
    • “Concept is fine and gameplay is pretty good, but those ads!!!”
    • “However, when ads are far longer than gameplay, it's a problem.”
    • “If I can't play the game for even a minute before getting an ad, I'm not interested in seeing how ad-dense the rest of the gameplay is.”
    • “This game is 15% gameplay and 85% ads, and was nothing like what I was expecting.”
  • stability10 mentions

    The game's stability is heavily criticized, with users reporting frequent freezes, particularly after ad loading, which often forces them to restart the game and lose progress. Many players find the excessive number of ads contributes to these issues, making the experience frustrating and unreliable. Despite its fun gameplay, the persistent bugs and glitches significantly detract from overall enjoyment.

    • “Also, the ad loading screen freezes, so I literally had to restart the game 4 times within 10 minutes.”
    • “It isn't worth your time because just about every 10 ads the game freezes and forces you to restart the entire game.”

  • music4 mentions

    • “If you use textures, music, etc., at least try to credit them.”
