The monetization aspect of the game is heavily criticized due to an overwhelming number of ads, which many players find intrusive and disruptive to gameplay. While some users appreciate that most ads are short and skippable, the frequency—often resulting in ads after every level or even during gameplay—leads to frustration and a diminished gaming experience. Many players express a desire for a paid option to remove ads entirely, indicating that the current ad model detracts significantly from their enjoyment of the game.

The game's stability is a significant concern among users, with frequent reports of freezing, lagging, and crashing, particularly after ads or during critical gameplay moments.

Overall, the game is enjoyable but suffers from stability issues that need urgent attention.
“The game freezes randomly and crashes randomly.”

“The game itself, I really enjoy, but after every 2 or 3 levels, the game just freezes, and you have to restart the app altogether and replay the same level.”
