The game's monetization heavily relies on frequent and intrusive ads, often appearing after every short level, which frustrates many players and disrupts gameplay. While some appreciate the game's concept and would pay for an ad-free version, the mandatory online connection and excessive ad frequency lead to widespread negative sentiment, with players calling for reduced ads or a true offline mode. Overall, the aggressive advertising approach is seen as detrimental to the user experience and a primary reason for poor ratings.
- “You will be bombed with so many ads you can't even play a level without spending at least 2-3 minutes waiting for the ads to finish.”
- “I had to watch a ad after every single level, and the levels take like 4 seconds to finish, so I watched more ads than I actually played.”
- “Can't even play with no wifi, truly just a waste of time for 1000 ads, don't bother with this game, it just a cash grab like every other game like this.”

The gameplay shows potential with its unique mechanics but ultimately feels boring and repetitive, lacking engaging or innovative elements. Frequent ads interrupt the experience, making the gameplay feel even less satisfying. With more effort and creative features, the gameplay could be significantly improved.
- “I rated this 3 stars because it has so much potential, it could definitely be a Steam game but it just doesn't do interesting things with the gameplay. You have a slider you use; the gameplay is pretty boring but could definitely be better, like if you could try to stop events with items from different times. Anyway, I believe this game could be great with a bit more effort but it's still a bit good with those mechanics, just gets stale quickly.”
- “Little bits of gameplay are disturbed by ads, with only 20 seconds every ad... just saying there are more ads than gameplay.”
