The monetization aspect of the game reflects its origins as a mobile title designed to encourage microtransactions, with a significant difficulty spike that often forces players to either purchase power-ups or replay levels excessively. While the Steam version has removed these microtransactions, the game's design still feels heavily influenced by its mobile counterpart, leading to frustration for players. Despite this, some users appreciate the absence of ads and microtransactions in the Steam release, viewing it as a budget-friendly option for casual play.
- “Of course those microtransactions have been removed from the Steam version, but the difficulty spike is still there.”
- “The fact that it has been designed around microtransactions really shows, as many levels are next to impossible to complete early on, reflecting a moment where in the app you'd feel either compelled to pay money to advance or compelled to uninstall.”
- “A mobile port designed so that you get 'hooked' after 20-30 stages, increase the difficulty and force you to buy power-ups as microtransactions or replay the same level 50 times.”
- “The fact that it has been designed around microtransactions really shows as many levels are next to impossible to complete (like, a few minutes after starting the game from the first level), reflecting a moment where in the app you'd feel either compelled to pay money to advance or compelled to uninstall.”
- “On Steam, you cannot buy spells (which would make things very easy) like in the mobile versions through microtransactions, but the game was built around that feature it seems.”
