The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the prevalence of ads, even after purchasing the no-ads option. While some users appreciate the unobtrusive nature of certain ads and are willing to support the developers through in-app purchases, others report significant gameplay disruption due to excessive advertising and technical issues related to ad displays. Overall, the desire for a more balanced approach to monetization, such as fewer ads or a more affordable no-ads option, is a common theme among players.
- “The only reason I put 3 stars is because the ball packs you have to pay for. At least make 2 of the packs free for players' choice; that would be very grateful. Also, can you make the no ads option $3.50 or just put an ad every 2 games instead of one?”
- “Tried playing again recently and I see ads even though I paid to get rid of them. I even emailed support, and it's just the way it is now.”
- “Unfortunately, I've had to edit this review as I recently lost all my game data and lost the no ad version of the game, and the ads are back.”
- “Great game marred by in-app purchases and ads.”
