The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with players expressing frustration over the excessive and intrusive nature of ads. Many users report that ads frequently interrupt gameplay, often appearing unexpectedly and requiring them to watch lengthy, unskippable videos, which detracts from the overall experience.

The gameplay of the game is described as a mix of fun and frustration, with many users enjoying its simple and addictive mechanics, while others criticize the excessive ads and repetitive nature that hinder the experience. Although some players find the game enjoyable for passing time, many express dissatisfaction with the forced ads, slow progression, and lack of engaging content, leading to a perception of it being a cash grab.

“Extremely enjoyable gameplay, simple yet addictive concept overall I very much enjoy the game and will continue to play.”
“Super fun and very addicting game, great gameplay overall, great design.”
“The 'tutorial' goes on for way too long and keeps stopping gameplay to force me to do things I don't really want to do.”
“Core gameplay also gets boring really quick as progression slows to a halt unless you spend money on diamonds.”
“Horrible game. I downloaded it for the first time in about 3 years and in the first 5 seconds, I get greeted by an in-game purchase asking me to buy something. 5 seconds later, I get an ad. 10 minutes after playing, I realized this is a cash grab game with ads every about 5 seconds or 2 clicks. I wouldn't recommend downloading the game unless you want 70% of gameplay to be ads.”
