The monetization strategy of this game has been heavily criticized for its excessive use of ads, with players reporting that they spend more time watching ads than actually playing. Many reviews highlight the frustration of unskippable ads appearing after every level or death, and the requirement to have an internet connection to play, which forces users to endure constant ad interruptions.

The reviews overwhelmingly express disappointment regarding the game's music, with many users noting that it lacks any in-game music despite advertisements suggesting otherwise.

Additionally, the frequent ad interruptions further detract from the overall enjoyment, leading to a consensus that the game would benefit significantly from the inclusion of music.
“Great game, maybe a music mode?”
“I thought there would be music, maybe I'm dumb or something, but there's no music, but it is indeed fun.”

“The concept is fun, but there are way too many ads. It's completely different from the ads; the concept is the same, but there isn't any music, and the game looks different from the ads.”
