The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, with many expressing frustration over the excessive and intrusive nature of advertisements. Players report being bombarded with ads during gameplay, in pre-game interfaces, and even while navigating their inventory, leading to a diminished gaming experience. While some users are willing to tolerate ads for rewards, the overwhelming frequency has led many to label the game as more of an advertisement platform than an enjoyable game, with calls for a better balance or a more reasonable ad-free purchase option.
“The monetization model is fair, allowing players to enjoy the game without feeling pressured to spend money.”
“I appreciate that there are options to support the game without being forced into microtransactions.”
“The game offers a balanced approach to monetization, providing value for those who choose to invest while still being enjoyable for free players.”
“You can't even look in your inventory without being bombarded by ads.”

Gameplay is generally described as surprisingly good, with simple mechanics that are enjoyable. However, frequent interruptions from ads, including mid-game video ads, significantly detract from the experience, leading to frustration among players. While some users appreciate the gameplay itself, the pervasive ad presence has resulted in negative reviews, with some feeling misled by in-game purchases.
“The ads weren't frequent, and the gameplay was surprisingly good.”
“I give this one star mainly because when I bought 100 diamonds for 1 dollar and I got it but it wouldn't allow me to use it, so pretty much it was a scam. But the only reason why I did not give it 0 stars is because of the actual gameplay.”
“And simple mechanics.”
“You always have an ad on the screen, then a video ad will pop up mid-game. You can skip it after a few seconds, but it still interrupts the gameplay.”
“Ads interrupt gameplay. Update: the developer replied that you can pay to remove ads, but this doesn't address ads playing during gameplay.”
“As with the rest of your 'games', there are more ads than there is gameplay.”
