The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback from users, primarily due to the excessive number and length of ads. Players report spending more time watching ads—often lasting 30 seconds to over a minute—than actually playing the game, leading to frustration and a diminished gaming experience. Many users have expressed dissatisfaction with the forced ads that appear after nearly every action, including retries and level completions, and some have noted that even purchasing an ad-free option does not eliminate all ads. Overall, the monetization strategy is viewed as overly aggressive and detrimental to gameplay enjoyment.
