The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback from users, primarily due to the excessive frequency of ads, which interrupt gameplay every 30 to 60 seconds. Many players express frustration over the high cost of $11 to remove ads, deeming it unreasonable for a game of this nature, leading to a significant number of uninstalls and low ratings. Overall, while some players appreciate the game's concept, the intrusive ads significantly detract from the experience, making it nearly unplayable for many.
“I paid for no ads because I understand that developing a game takes time, and putting time into something that is a great concept does deserve to have a payoff.”
“This game is fun and an easy way to pass time, but at $12 for no ads?”
“I really enjoy this game, which made me purchase the no ads.”
“The game itself looks and plays great, but it is priced too high to pay away the ads.”
“You will spend about 70% of the time watching ads, with a reward included for about 1 out of 6. There is the ability to turn them off for $12.99, but that is a very high price for a simple mobile game.”
“The game is actually pretty good, but ads every 30 seconds makes it basically unplayable.”
