Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious, primarily due to the frequent and lengthy advertisements that interrupt gameplay after nearly every level. This constant ad presence, combined with challenging levels that often require item use to progress, detracts from the overall enjoyment and makes the experience feel more like an ad-driven grind than a fun challenge.
“However, many levels are not passable for the first many attempts, which becomes extremely tedious later in the game, and there are a lot of ads!”
“Also, there is now an ad after every level, so it's tedious to play as you are constantly spammed with other game ads rather than playing this one.”
“It is enjoyable to play, but the fact that there are some stages that cannot be solved without using items turns the game into an ad-grinding game.”
