The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads, often appearing after every level or puzzle. While some users appreciate the option to play for free, they wish for a paid version to remove ads entirely, as the frequency and intrusiveness of ads detract from the overall gaming experience. A few players noted that the ads are not overly disruptive, but the general consensus leans towards a desire for less aggressive monetization practices.
“Played 10 levels in a row and still no ads.”
“Prefer purchase and no ads.”
“The game itself is ok, but there is an ad after every puzzle, which means every 5 seconds, I'm getting an ad, and when you want to choose a different type of game in the app, you guessed it, another ad. I spend more time watching ads than being able to play the game.”
“When you have to restart your phone to get out of the endless loop of ads after exiting the game, it's a no from me.”
“The app itself is great, but the sheer amount of pop-up ads is unbelievable. Just to return from a game to the main menu, I've had as many as 5 pop-up ads.”

“I enjoyed the game, but would have enjoyed it more if there was the option to put my own music playing in the background.”
“I don't like the music and it just seems a bit tacky.”
