The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming frequency of ads, which appear after nearly every level and often last longer than the gameplay itself. While some players appreciate the option to pay a small fee to remove ads, many express frustration that even after purchasing the ad-free version, they still encounter ads. Overall, the excessive and intrusive nature of the ads detracts from the gaming experience, leading to numerous uninstalls and negative reviews.
- “I like the game...it's one of the few I've been able to find that there are no ads to watch in order to play the game.”
- “The biggest plus is that they have a no ads version!”
- “Paying for the no ads is worth it.”
- “I would have given it a five-star rating, but because of too many ads, every time I completed levels and left the app, my levels returned back down to a lower level.”
- “I could understand an ad every other level, or for perks... but unskippable ads averaging 30 seconds or more, after every level, is untenable.”
- “The sheer amount of ads being thrown at you is incredible; every stage you complete will net you a 15 to 30 second ad. The game itself is okay at best, but there are games just like this but with less ads in it.”
