The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback from users, primarily due to the excessive and intrusive nature of the ads. Players report being bombarded with long ads after nearly every level, often spending more time watching ads than actually playing the game. Many users express frustration over the inability to fully remove ads even after purchasing the ad-free option, leading to a diminished gaming experience and prompting some to uninstall the game altogether.
- “The biggest issue I have is that I paid for no ads!”
- “I love this game, I never buy anything but I bought no ads, having a ball definitely a stress reliever.”
- “It's fun and addicting... paid for no ads so, well worth it too!”
- “The game itself is pretty fun to play, but don't plan to win any of the 'races' unless you pay to eliminate the ads.”
- “While you wait for the ad, you lose... the tactic here is to overwhelm the user with ads until they give up and pay the $5 ransom to eliminate them.”
- “It's a rip off unless you pay to have ads removed; you can't win the 30 level challenge, ads get slower and longer in 15 min double you might play 10 mins if you are lucky because of ads.”
