The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback due to the excessive number and length of ads, which often disrupt gameplay. Players report being forced to watch ads after nearly every action, leading to frustration and a significant reduction in enjoyment. While there is an option to pay for an ad-free experience, the cost is considered high for only a temporary reprieve, further aggravating users who feel overwhelmed by the ad presence.
“I want to rate this 5 stars, especially now that a 'no ads forever' can be purchased instead of 'no ads for 3 days.'”
“So far you actually get to play... we will hopefully see this continue and be able to win without excessive spending for in-app purchases.”
“Great game but there is no option to purchase the game with 'no ads.' I would gladly pay up to $10 to play the game with no ads.”
“The game is fun, but you are literally watching ads more than playing, and not your normal 15 or 30 second ad, these ads are going for 90 seconds at a time & after every move, there is no skip after 5 seconds, ridiculous absolutely, uninstalling.”
“I understand the need for ads and I don't mind a full ad between matches but a full ad between each move is just ridiculous.”
“You will spend more time watching ads than playing the game.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and frustrating, often encountering issues such as unresponsive rewards, screen freezes, and crashes. The constant barrage of intrusive ads further exacerbates the experience, leading to a lack of variety and enjoyment in gameplay. Despite its potential, the overall consensus is that the grinding mechanics detract significantly from the game's appeal.

“Horrible ads all the time... every move, every game... so mind-numbingly tedious. It has potential if the ads weren't so in your face.”
