The monetization strategy of this game has been heavily criticized for its excessive reliance on ads, with players reporting that they spend significantly more time watching advertisements than actually playing. Many users expressed frustration over the frequency and length of ads, which often appear after every level or action, leading to a poor gameplay experience. Despite the option to pay for an ad-free experience, numerous reviews indicate that ads still persist, making the game feel more like an advertisement platform than an enjoyable game.
- “Would be a good game if not for adverts and the no ads button doesn't work, so I can't even pay to remove some of the intrusive adverts.”
- “If I pay for no ads, tell me why there are still ads everywhere?”
- “Paid for no ads and everything is now super laggy and the 'challenges' are totally unfair.”

Overall, the stability problems significantly detract from the gaming experience, leading to widespread disappointment.
- “This would be an enjoyable game if it wasn't for the amount of ads, but the worst point is that it keeps shutting down every minute or so.

It has been a big letdown; I think the designers and tech team need to go back to school to learn how to make a game.”
