    The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback from users, primarily due to the excessive number of ads. Players report being bombarded with ads after nearly every level, often experiencing longer ad durations than actual gameplay, which significantly detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game. Many users suggest turning off internet connectivity to avoid ads, indicating that the ad frequency is a major barrier to a satisfying gaming experience.

    • β€œI love this game so much and there are no ads at all that's why I gave five stars. If there was an option of ten stars I would have given ten stars.”
    • β€œIt's a good game if anyone thinks it's bad, so why not make a good game app like this? Look at me, I also made a car game app and it's named 'Car in Mud Offroad Driving Simulator'. You can search the downloaders are 1m. Make your mind and think what should I do and I also think that one day you will make an app. Keep trying, you lose a hundred times but don't give up, okay? Keep trying and don't judge a book by its cover.”
