The monetization strategy of this game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming frequency of ads, which disrupt gameplay and often appear every few seconds. Many players report that even after purchasing the "no ads" option, they continue to encounter forced ads, leading to feelings of being scammed. The requirement for an internet connection to play further exacerbates the issue, as it seems to be primarily for ad delivery rather than gameplay functionality.
“It's satisfying but every time you do an upgrade or say no to a power, it gives you an ad and I'm not spending 3 pounds on no ads.”
“If the 'remove ads' payment actually worked instead of seemingly ramping up the amount of ads, I would have probably chilled with it.”
“I paid for no ads and still got both random and voluntary ads.”
“Although somewhat satisfying for the first 2 minutes of gameplay, the barrage of obnoxious ads negated the initial experience.”
“I paid to remove ads, but they continued to push ads to watch ads.”
“Paid for no forced ads (5 dollars) and there's still ads every 45 seconds, it's a scam.”

The gameplay experience is heavily marred by numerous bugs, including issues with mechanical arms, visual glitches, and frequent crashes, which detract from overall enjoyment. Players report being overwhelmed by constant ads that interrupt gameplay, making it feel more like an ad-watching experience than an engaging game. Additionally, many features, such as the merging mechanics and digital art options, are criticized for being poorly designed and ineffective, leading to frustration among users.
“The spirograph section works alright, but once you unlock the mechanical art section, most of the patterns simply don't work.”
“It didn't show parts of my art once I got to the mechanical part, but otherwise it was fun!”
“With the mechanical and most likely other ones on there except the starter one doesn't show though it is good.”
“The game crashes after every 2 minutes of gameplay and I don't understand why it's crashing.”
“Passed a certain point (that's way too early), you spend more time in ads than in gameplay, as each upgrade has pop-up ads between them.”
“Very nearly a fun game if not for the constant ads during gameplay.”

The game is widely criticized for its instability, with numerous users reporting frequent crashes, glitches, and graphical issues that significantly hinder gameplay. While some players find enjoyment in the game, the overwhelming consensus is that the bugs and excessive ads detract from the overall experience, making it frustrating and often unplayable.
“Also, the mechanical arms are very buggy, the buckets 'splash' paint everywhere any time you do anything to it, the digital art shapes don't change anything, the game keeps crashing, and it just randomly restarted my phone.”
“It's a 3 because it's too buggy and it was saying in the leaderboard I was 1st but then it said I was 100 even though I was making more money per second than the person in 1st place.”
“My game suffered severely from graphic glitches - the pens wouldn't draw at all in certain shapes, or would appear already colored in before I had done anything - and the constant ads that don't decrease in frequency as play time accumulates placed over upgrade buttons to deliberately trick you make this whole package not worth the effort.”
