The monetization strategy of this game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming number of ads that disrupt gameplay. Many players report experiencing ads after nearly every level, often leading to frustration as they spend more time watching ads than actually playing. While there is an option to pay for an ad-free experience, the subscription model and high frequency of ads have left many feeling that the game prioritizes profit over player enjoyment.
