The monetization strategy of this game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the excessive frequency of ads that interrupt gameplay. Many players report being bombarded with ads every few seconds, making the game frustrating and unenjoyable, despite some willingness to pay for an ad-free experience. The cost to remove ads is also viewed as steep, leading to a general sentiment that the game prioritizes ad revenue over user experience.
āI could pay the $8 for no ads, but that seems a little expensive for this kind of game.ā
āThe no ads option was well worth the money.ā
āPretty addicting if you pay for no ads.ā
āMy 3 star rating is because of ads - audio ads on the bottom that interrupt outside audio (forget music or podcasts while playing) + the frankly exorbitant premium cost of $14 CAD monthly to remove ads.ā
āThe amount of ads is absolutely disgusting.ā
āThis game was my favorite to play every single day, but the lack of being able to scroll through all the stickers when doing a big picture makes it so boring for me and the number of ads in the game makes the whole game unenjoyable for me especially when I just want to play without paying to remove ads.ā

The gameplay is generally described as fun and engaging, with smooth mechanics and appealing designs; however, it is severely hampered by an overwhelming number of ads that disrupt the experience. Players express frustration over frequent ad interruptions, which can occur every minute or even during gameplay, leading to glitches and a diminished overall enjoyment. While the core gameplay is enjoyable, the excessive ad presence detracts significantly from the experience, making it feel more like an ad platform than a game.
āSmooth gameplay.ā
āThe core gameplay is fun.ā
āGreat gameplay interface and lots of pages to work on.ā
āThe main critique of the gameplay: lack of ability to scroll through stickers, meaning you're limited to 3 or 4 at a time, which is really hard in the larger puzzles.ā
āI understand games need to make revenue and I don't mind watching some ads to support them, but this one is 70% ads and 30% gameplay.ā
āFun concept but too many forced ads every minute or so during gameplay.ā

The music in the game is generally described as relaxing and enjoyable, contributing positively to the overall experience. However, many users express frustration with intrusive audio ads that interrupt both the music and gameplay, detracting from the enjoyment. Additionally, some players wish for the option to turn off the music while keeping sound effects, as the constant presence of ads can be overwhelming.
āThe graphics are great, and the music is enjoyable to listen to while playing.ā
āVery relaxing! I really like the background music.ā
āNice music, cool stickers, and it's relaxing.ā
āOh, plus there are audio ads playing over the quirky, otherwise relaxing music.ā
āListening to the gentle quiet music and then suddenly a verbal radio ad for Busch Gardens?ā
āPlays ads as background music.ā

Overall, the graphics of the game are frequently praised for their colorful and cute art style, contributing to a fun and relaxing experience. However, some users have reported severe performance issues, including crashes on capable devices, which detracts from the overall enjoyment.

āFun, addictive, user friendly, & great graphics.ā
āThe graphics are great, and the music is enjoyable while playing.ā
āLovely scenes and graphics.ā
āMade my phone crash instantly upon opening. I have a Samsung Galaxy A10e, which is a really good phone to run even 2GB games with high graphics. Mind you, this is a sticker book game and it crashes immediately. I don't see how this is still on the app store with extremely severe performance issues.ā
āCute graphics but I'm uninstalling without even finishing the first stage.ā
āBad graphics.ā

The stability of the game is heavily criticized, with numerous users reporting frequent freezes, particularly after watching ads, which disrupts gameplay and leads to lost progress. While some players appreciate the absence of ads with a paid option, they still encounter glitches that force them to restart the app repeatedly. Overall, the game's stability issues significantly detract from the user experience.
āWorks perfectly, no glitches.ā
āThe game runs smoothly without any crashes.ā
āI haven't experienced any stability issues; everything functions as it should.ā
āThe player does not have to deal with ads, but the app freezes up, causing the person to close the app, restart it, only to realize that all their progress is lost.ā
āGame freezes after every ad (and there are tons!) forcing me to have to close the app and reopen.ā
āClitches, clitches, clitches. I can't play the game more than a few minutes at a time before it freezes and shuts down.ā

The humor in the game is generally well-received, with players finding it funny and creative, often highlighting the cute and detailed art. However, the overwhelming presence of ads detracts from the experience, leading to frustration that overshadows the humor. Overall, while the game has its comedic moments, the ad interruptions significantly impact player enjoyment.
āYay for new levels and just looking forward to searching for funny characters.ā
āCute and super detailed art, and funny š¤£ idk why but it's easier for me to do the hard mode than the normal š maybe because my eyes can differentiate the shape faster than searching by number.ā
āVery funny and creative gameā

The story aspect of the game appears to be ambiguous, with some players noting a lack of clarity regarding its narrative depth. While one user finds the game peaceful and engaging, suggesting that there is a story to uncover, others feel that they haven't played enough to fully grasp or appreciate it. Overall, the narrative seems to be present but not explicitly defined, leaving players to interpret it themselves.
āIt's a peaceful game, something to help pass the time, but it's interesting, not boring. It tells a story; you just have to know what the story could be.ā
āI haven't played enough to see if there's any background story or if there even is a story to the game. I'm not going to pay for ads to be removed when I haven't played it that long.ā

āThe game is poorly optimized and lags significantly, even on high-end devices. It's frustrating to experience such performance issues in a game that should be simple.ā
