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 being interrupted by ads after nearly every action, which significantly detracts from the gameplay experience, leading many to consider uninstalling the game. While there is an option to pay for an ad-free experience, the cost is viewed as exorbitant for only a temporary reprieve, further frustrating users.
“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.”
