The monetization strategy of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, primarily due to the excessive and intrusive nature of the ads. Players express frustration with ads that interrupt gameplay, often appearing mid-game and leading to accidental clicks, which detracts significantly from the overall experience. While some users acknowledge the necessity of ads in free games, many feel that the frequency and placement of these ads are excessive and disruptive, leading to a diminished enjoyment of the game.
“I understand you need to have ads because it is free, but I was happy with the game interrupt instead of the banner ads that they have now.”
“It would also be nice to have an option to pay for no ads.”
“There are little to no ads, and if there are ads, they're only 1-5 seconds long.”
“Now it is just nothing but intrusive ads.”
“The sheer number of ads you have to sit through in this game is mind boggling.”
“I understand the need for advertising but in the middle of my first game of the session?”
