The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the high costs of unlocking full content and the prevalence of ads, especially in the demo version. While some appreciate the option to play for free with ads, others feel that the pricing for ad-free access is excessive and not justified by the game's content. Overall, players suggest a more reasonable pricing model to enhance their experience.
- “An awesome puzzle game! You can get the whole bundle for only $6 to $7, which includes no ads, and it's really challenging and fun!”
- “The game is fun apart from the in-game purchases.”
- “You have to pay $6 in in-app purchases to play the other 3 sets of puzzles to finish the game.”
- “Maybe it gets more challenging in the paid levels, but I'll never know because it's almost $14 to play all levels plus another $2 if you want to do it without ads... not worth it to me.”
- “Putting up with all the ads in the demo was a bit frustrating as well... I would understand if you were offering the full game for free with ads, but the reason for a demo is to grab someone's attention and the only thing that really stood out in the end was being forced to watch 30-second videos to get to the next level.”
- “Money hungry; all it gives you is a couple of crappy packs then expects you to watch ads for hints, then wants you to pay a lot of money for all the rest. You gotta collect 75 gems to gain another pack or just pay for it. Nah, get out of here with that tactic; just lost the download... skeezy app.”
