The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the frequency and intrusiveness of ads, often encountering them after nearly every level. While some users appreciate the option to play for free, they wish for a paid version to remove ads entirely, as the current ad experience detracts from gameplay enjoyment. Overall, the consensus indicates that excessive ads significantly impact the user experience, overshadowing the game's quality.
“Played 10 levels in a row and still no ads.”
“Prefer purchase and no ads.”
“Rating 2, not 1, because the game is like 80% great, but it's clear that the devs just wanted to shovel it out, slap on ads, and collect $”
“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.”
“The app itself is great, but the sheer amount of pop-up ads is unbelievable.”
