The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming number of forced ads that interrupt gameplay, often after every level. Many players express frustration over the unreliability of ad rewards, with frequent glitches preventing them from receiving promised bonuses, leading to a perception of the game as a cash grab.

- “I truly love this game, there are surprises around every corner. I love that there are no ads unless you choose to watch an ad, like if you run out of lives you can get an extra life by watching one, which is great because I don't have to exit the game and wait to come back and play. Awesome game, it's the best out there, great job folks, thank you very much! ”
- “I do like being able to make in-game purchases using game coins instead of real cash.”
- “Little to no ads and ads are optional.”
- “Latest update forces ads (no reward, after completing a level) - so the game got uninstalled.”
