The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with users expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads that interrupt gameplay. Many players report that the game is marketed as "ad-free" or "offline," but in reality, it requires an internet connection and bombards users with ads after nearly every action. Even those who pay for ad removal still encounter numerous ads, leading to a perception that the game is primarily designed to generate ad revenue rather than provide an enjoyable gaming experience.
- “I paid for no ads and still have ads.”
- “Paid for no ads, still got ads.”
- “The ads for the game explicitly stated no ads.”
- “The actual round of play sometimes only lasts 45 seconds... so you're forcefully watching ads rather than actually playing the game.”
- “It's genuinely unfair to the player sometimes too, like you *need* to watch ads to do even half decent most of the time.”
- “The ads are also a requirement for many upgrades needed to progress, so roughly 70% of your 'playtime' is viewing ads.”
