The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming number of forced ads that interrupt gameplay. Many players express frustration over the frequency and intrusiveness of these ads, which often require them to watch lengthy advertisements to progress or obtain resources, leading to a perception of the game as a "cash grab."

“Every minute or two, the game stops and you'll be made to watch another ad, even though ads are already required to add certain skills to the character.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessively tedious and time-consuming, often feeling bloated with ads that interrupt gameplay. While the initial experience can be enjoyable, the need to farm resources and manage increasingly high costs for progression leads to frustration and a sense of monotony.

“Pretty tedious gameplay and then conspicuously waits until after asking for a review to suddenly start playing ads (both a banner at the bottom and then a video).”
“It requires you to open up small areas using various resources like banana peels or sea shells to progress further, but the cost gets higher and higher as you continue to do so, hundreds or even thousands of tedious items to unlock a few grids.”
“Game is fun and relaxing but you will find yourself grinding forever if you don't click on ads to get stuff you need to advance.”
