The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players experiencing significant issues such as ads that do not close, leading to game crashes and loss of progress. While the remastered version has reportedly reduced the frequency of ads and microtransactions, many users still face problems with in-app purchases not functioning as intended, particularly those who paid to remove ads. Overall, while some players appreciate the minimal ads and enjoy the game, others express frustration over the monetization system and its impact on gameplay.
- “I would be more inclined to leave a higher score, but when I decided to support the game and pay for the no ads, it charged me money without giving me the benefits.”
- “I've been waiting on them to respond to a support email to restore my no ads I purchased back in September. I love the game, but I wish this was easier to get the stuff I paid for when I deleted my account to start over.”
- “Can we please make good simple games without having to pay for no ads?”
- “The original had a lot of microtransactions and ads splattered across the entire game.”
- “Some ads make my screen black without the possibility to return back, which leads to reopening the game (this is very bad because teleport costs a little and watching an ad which blocks the game and reopens again to start from base leads better not to watch ads at all).”
- “Very laggy and everything attacks me which results in me not being able to progress; it's like this game just wants you to keep watching ads just to heal your pets that die seconds after healing, also the alpha cooldown is ridiculous and you have to watch ads to also revive them.”
