The monetization strategy of the game has received significant criticism for its excessive and intrusive ad placements, with many players reporting ads appearing every few minutes or after nearly every action. While some users appreciate the option to watch ads for rewards, the frequency and forced nature of these ads have led to frustration, with calls for a rework of the monetization system or the introduction of a paid option to remove ads entirely. Overall, the balance between ad revenue and user experience appears to be heavily skewed towards aggressive monetization, detracting from the enjoyment of the game.
- “The graphics are really cute, and I would love to play this long-term, but they really need to rework the monetization.”
- “It's a good game, although it is unfortunate that I had to start over when it stopped working after the last update, and it's unfortunate that it went from almost no ads to being bombarded by ads after the last update.”
- “It is also too difficult to get gold without in-game purchases.”
- “The amount of ads to get rewards is ridiculous, and when there's a fire, the reward is rubbish.”
- “Looks fun and promising, but forced ads every few minutes just to be able to play is just too annoying.”

Overall, the gameplay is praised for its smoothness, ease of understanding, and engaging nature, making it enjoyable and addictive. Players appreciate the charming world-building elements, though some express frustration with waiting times and the presence of town advisors. While there are some monetization aspects, the game is generally not seen as pay-to-win, allowing for progression without mandatory purchases.
- “The gameplay is fun; there aren't an awful lot of ad breaks. The town advisors can be a little bit annoying, but the game does not seem to be pay-to-win at the point I am at. There are a few special buildings you can only acquire with gold, which you can earn through the game, but you may have to pay a little if you really want them, even though they are not needed to progress. Overall, a good fun little game.”
- “Gameplay is smooth... no lagging.”
- “Good game, easy to get to grips with, fairly relaxed gameplay, so no pressure but quite enjoyable.”
