The monetization aspect of the game has received significant criticism due to the overwhelming number of ads, particularly long and unskippable ones that interrupt gameplay after each level. Many users express frustration over inappropriate ad content for a game aimed at children, as well as issues with in-app purchases not being fulfilled. While some players appreciate the absence of aggressive ads, the general consensus is that the current ad frequency and length detract from the overall gaming experience.
- “This game is so fun; there are no ads, which is great because kids won't accidentally click on something bad due to ads.”
- “I love this game! There are no ads in this game.”
- “Best part, no ads!!!”
- “However, after each turn I now have to watch an advertisement that is over 1 minute long with no way of closing out unless I close the game or watch the entire ad for over a minute long.”
- “Here's why no one loves this game: you earn barely any coins for levels played, and everything is 1000 to continue for 5 moves. Decorations are insanely expensive, so it basically is a cash grab game.”
- “I did give a 5-star rating, but I changed my rating to 1 star due to the recent update which added pop-up ads that make you watch between each level.”

Overall, the gameplay is praised for its addictive nature, smooth mechanics, and appealing graphics, making it suitable for all age groups. However, some players express frustration with resource management, level difficulty, and the slow replenishment of lives, suggesting that improvements in these areas could enhance the overall experience.
- “Nice graphics, good gameplay, suitable for all age groups, addictive.”
- “Familiar characters, smooth gameplay, & enough of a challenge to keep you interested.”
- “Addictive gameplay based on a famous yet cute cartoon.”
- “Frustrating gameplay.”
- “Like others have already mentioned, you don't get enough bubbles to complete some of the levels, and the boosters only work occasionally. Then you have to wait nearly 30 minutes for the lives to refill once you inevitably run out. It's such a shame that the developers didn't put as much effort into the gameplay as they did the graphics. Making improvements in the aspects that have been mentioned previously would make this a must-have game rather than a one-hit wonder.”

As a result, many feel that the game offers little incentive to replay, leading to an overall perception of minimal replay value.
- “And Sony's made this game next to impossible to win any levels without getting a booster and having to pay for it. After you beat the board, you get very little reward back; replayability with this game is next to zero.”
- “Garbage app with no replay value.”
- “The normal levels are playable enough, but the don't-lose-a-heart 5-level events lack a serious part of logic: the actual guaranteed possibility to achieve the goal if one plays well.”
