“Paid for the no ads that came with some gems, but ads kept coming.”
“Bought the 3 dollar no ads pack and still watch ads.”

“The insane amount of ads and the fact that you made it so that the game 'requires' internet to play so you can push the maximum amount of ads has made this game unplayable.”

The gameplay is generally considered enjoyable, but it is heavily marred by an overwhelming number of ads, which significantly detracts from the overall experience. Many players express frustration over the frequency and length of ads, often feeling that they spend more time watching ads than actually playing the game. While some aspects of the gameplay are praised, the excessive interruptions from ads lead to a negative reception overall.
“The gameplay is pretty good for the most part, but the reason I didn't give 5 stars is the fact that it's not offline.”
“Good gameplay, the ads are quite frequent though.”
“Game itself is kinda fun... but it's more ads than gameplay.”
“I understand ads are an essential part of free games but this is just ad simulator 2023. Hardly any gameplay and they are forced full ads, not the ones where you can skip after 5 seconds. Within about 5 minutes of owning the game, I probably watched 3 minutes of ads and got 2 minutes of gameplay. Deleted.”
“You get an ad every 30 seconds. I get that free games need income, but it's literally more ads than gameplay at this point.”
“90% ads, 10% gameplay.”
