The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming number of ads that interrupt gameplay. Many players report that even after purchasing the ad removal option, they still encounter numerous ads, including mandatory ones that hinder progress. Additionally, the game's advertising falsely claims it can be played offline, leading to frustration as players are forced to remain online to access the constant stream of ads. Overall, the excessive ad presence detracts from the gaming experience, making it feel more like a cash grab than a well-designed game.
“Everyone is complaining about the ads.. I usually just pay for no ads, because they're annoying and I figure I don't mind supporting the dev team.”
“It gives you the option to 'remove ads' with the purchase like most games, but what it doesn't tell you is it removes forced ads, not all ads.. kinda stupid, not gonna lie.”
“Nice game, really fun and no ads. 10/10 would rate again.”
“Yes, it's only $2.99 + taxes or fees to remove adverts, but if the game is designed to have broken adverts until you remove adverts, then that is BS... as well, other reviews have mentioned that buying the remove ads option does not work on all ads, which is very deceitful.”
“The game itself isn't even bad, it's just that the ads themselves often play audio but freeze, or they crash altogether, both of which make it hard to play the game for more than a few minutes without having to reset it every few minutes.”
“You will lose all the 'multiplayer' battles which are fake, just to force you to watch more ads to get better stuff just to lose again etc.”

The gameplay experience is marred by an overwhelming presence of intrusive ads, which often disrupt play and lead to frequent crashes, making it difficult for players to enjoy the game. While some users appreciate the core mechanics and find the gameplay loop engaging, the excessive advertisements and microtransactions significantly detract from the overall enjoyment, resulting in a repetitive and frustrating experience. Many players recommend avoiding the game if they dislike ads, as they dominate the experience, often outnumbering actual gameplay time.
“Pros: great gameplay loop, easy to get into; cons: gets invigoratingly slow after 3-5 hours.”
“I really like the game mechanics.”
“The gameplay is amazing as well.”
“Ads are intrusive to gameplay and often pop up inquiring about in-app purchases, showing up in the middle of where you're touching to combine ores, which baits clicks.”
“There's almost more ads than gameplay, bonuses for watching unskippable ads, and many microtransactions.”
“Played for 20 minutes, 5 minutes of gameplay and 15 minutes of ads.”

The game suffers from significant stability issues, with frequent freezing and crashing that often results in lost progress, especially during ad breaks. Players report that these bugs severely hinder gameplay, making it difficult to complete levels or claim rewards. Despite its engaging content, the persistent glitches detract from the overall experience, prompting requests for urgent fixes and updates.
“It's very buggy and glitches out a lot. Every time there is an ad, it closes or freezes, and when I try getting back into the game, all of my progress is gone.”
“This game freezes and crashes constantly. I've hardly been able to get through a single level without the game entirely freezing and losing all my progress.”
“The game's good, it just freezes too much, and when you unlock new stuff, you can't claim it because it doesn't work.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game enjoyable at first, but it becomes tedious and feels more like a chore after reaching higher levels, particularly past level 25. The frequent ads, especially at the end of levels, contribute to the sense of tedium, making progression feel less rewarding and more like a task. Overall, while the game offers a lot of content, the grinding experience is marred by excessive ad interruptions.
“It's initially fun enough, but once you get high enough, past level 25 or so, it gets tedious, to the point where it's not fun; it's just a task.”
“Fun game with a surprising amount of stuff to do; however, ads at the end of every level make it far too tedious.”
“Can't play when offline, and the ads happen way too frequently, making progression feel tedious.”
