The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the excessive and intrusive ads that disrupt gameplay, often appearing after every level or at random times. While some appreciate the option to watch ads for bonuses and acknowledge the game is free, the frequency and unskippable nature of the ads have led to a decline in enjoyment for many users. Additionally, there are calls for a paid option to remove ads entirely, as the current ad experience is seen as detrimental to the overall gameplay.
“So far the microtransactions are minimal too!”
“Very cute game and little need for in-app purchases. I've played without buying more than maybe the starter pack and I haven't seen a dip in quality or a reason to have to buy anything, so it's exactly what I was wanting out of such a cute game!”
“You actually earn things like gems properly and they don't shove microtransactions down your throat.”
“Ads between nearly every level, ads to get every single boost (which you lose if you don't use), ads to even use some boosts, ads in the middle of a level... it's cute but don't waste your freaking time.”
“The latest version has ads after every single level you play, which is just announced enough that I don't want to play anymore.”
“Please remove the ads because this ruins the gameplay experience.”

“You can really see that the gameplay has been carefully thought through because there are so many different little features.”

“I have to restart the app in order for the music and sound to play again.”

“The game is not hard or difficult to understand, even for a child, so the continuing tutorial is tedious and made me uninstall since there was no end to it in sight.”
