The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the frequency and intrusiveness of ads, particularly those that appear after every match. While some users appreciate the ability to earn rewards through watching ads, they often find the sheer volume of ads to be overwhelming and disruptive to gameplay. Additionally, there are concerns about the game's pay-to-win elements, as certain features and emotes are locked behind in-app purchases, leading to a perception of unfairness among players who do not spend money. Overall, while the game is seen as fun and engaging, the monetization strategy, particularly the reliance on ads, detracts from the overall experience for many users.

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be overly tedious and reliant on RNG, particularly when it comes to earning gems and coins through limited daily opportunities. The repetitive nature of the mini-games and the lack of meaningful rewards for grinding contribute to frustration, especially when trying to play with friends or complete the battle pass. Overall, while the core gameplay is enjoyable, the grinding experience is seen as a significant drawback.
“I feel like there should be another way to earn gems and stumble coins for free; getting it through the daily wheel is just too grindy and way too RNG dependent.”
“I like this game but what really annoys me is, first, the checkpoints are not working; if you fall, there is a chance that you will be sent straight to the start (especially in paint and humble bumble). Second, to get like 200 gems from the battle pass requires a lot of grinding, and if you complete it, you need to wait a month or so.”
“But thanks to the same 3-5 maps over and over again, it became utterly tedious.”
