The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the excessive and intrusive ads that disrupt gameplay. While some users appreciate the option to watch ads for bonuses and note that in-app purchases are not mandatory, the recent increase in ad frequency and the presence of unskippable ads have led to a decline in overall enjoyment for many. Overall, while the game is cute and fun, the monetization strategy, particularly regarding ads, has become a significant point of contention among players.
“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!”
“So far the microtransactions are minimal too!”
“You actually earn things like gems properly, and they don't shove microtransactions down your throat.”
“There's a lot of events going on at the same time... but that's all cash grab.”
“The latest version has ads after every single level you play, which is just enough that I don't want to play anymore.”
“Unskippable ads play at random times so you can't even play.”

The gameplay is generally praised for its fun mechanics, cute characters, and engaging puzzles, making it enjoyable for casual players. However, many users express frustration with excessive tutorials, interruptions, and loading times, which detract from the overall experience. While the game offers a refreshing approach and thoughtful design, the balance between guidance and player autonomy needs improvement.

“You can really see that the gameplay has been carefully thought through because there are so many different little features.”
“New gameplay elements are added throughout the levels, keeping the game fresh.”
“After the first couple of stages, it lets you do what you want; however, it interrupts gameplay with explanations of one drum type per level for the next 15 levels.”
“It's not that difficult of a game to learn to warrant that level of hand-holding, and I shouldn't have to tap through 15 screens of tutorial just to get to 1 actual tap of gameplay.”
“If it takes 20 levels to teach gameplay, it's a poorly designed game.”

“The pop-up ads mute the music and sound.”
