The monetization strategy of the game is heavily criticized for its excessive ad frequency, including forced ads after short gameplay sessions, which detracts from the overall experience. While players appreciate the option to pay for an ad-free experience and find the pricing reasonable, many feel that the reliance on ads for progression is frustrating. Some users suggest that the game could benefit from more balanced ad opportunities and additional ways to earn in-game currency without constant interruptions.
“The optional VIP member status for no ads, extra coins, and gems is worth buying!”
“The game has no ads (except for multiplying rewards), and it's enjoyable even without purchasing anything.”
“I would suggest adding more ads or ways to earn diamonds. I could only use the ad options 2 or 3 times, and now there's nothing more available, which can get a bit boring. It would be much better if we could watch at least 15 ads every 5 hours to earn diamonds!”
“Honestly, the concept of the game is amazing, but you can barely progress without watching ads all the time.”
“The game is cute and fun, but the most annoying thing is the stupid minigame ads that pop up after just 10 seconds of play.”
“Game has forced ad breaks; optional ads for rewards are acceptable, but forcing an ad after playing a 5-second mini game is frustrating.”

The story aspect of the game is criticized for its lack of variety and repetitiveness, with only three minigames and daily quests that quickly become monotonous. Players express frustration over the limited character models and the slow progression in acquiring gems, which detracts from the overall experience.
“With only three minigames, one of which is itself super repetitive, the same daily quests every day, and even the character models being near-identical, it got old fast.”
“Honestly frustrating given how hard gems are to get even as a VIP member; the quests didn't reset while I had the game open as the quest timer was going down.”
