The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating the absence of a pay-to-win model and minimal intrusive ads, allowing for a fun experience without mandatory purchases.

- “No advertising, no pay-to-win BS, 100% playable and customizable free game.”
- “I don't mind in-app purchases either, but once you need to buy to win, it becomes pointless and unfair.”
- “Now they've riddled their game with pop-ups, not just the obnoxious ads but their own ads for their own games with misleading yes/no answers to dismiss, tripling the annoyance and interruption.”
- “Game used to be phenomenal, now it's full of ads and crashes constantly; I haven't been able to open the app since the new update due to constant crashes.”

The game is praised for its high replayability, particularly due to its engaging multiplayer aspect and strong community support.

I know it's an online game, but if it could add, for example, an offline mode that could be played through Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, it might be more playable. This could also serve as a marketing method, allowing me to play it with my wife as well.”
- “The game is perfect for smartphones—distracting, easy to pick up, and easy to put down, but it lacks true replayability.”
