The monetization strategy of the game has been widely criticized for its excessive reliance on ads, with many players expressing frustration over the high cost of ad removal at $30. Users feel that the game forces them to either watch numerous ads or pay exorbitant prices for in-game benefits, leading to a negative experience that detracts from the overall enjoyment. Many suggest that reducing the ad removal price and limiting ad frequency would improve player retention and satisfaction.

- “Very fun, very easy, no ads for me. Amazing graphics! I'm already at a high level. I love this game; it's good, easy, and fun! 😊”

- “Game basically forces you to pay or watch ads every minute to progress.”
- “I really wanted to like this game, then I saw it was $30 to remove ads; such overpriced greed is disgusting. I will never support it when I could buy actual games that are not just a cash grab.”
