The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with players expressing frustration over the prevalence and functionality of ads, particularly those that fail to provide promised rewards. While some appreciate the option to watch ads for bonuses without being forced to do so, many feel that progress is hindered without in-app purchases, leading to a perception of the game as a cash grab. Overall, the balance between ads and gameplay rewards appears to be a significant concern for users, impacting their overall enjoyment.
- “And most of the time there's no ads at all.”
- “No ads unless you want extra stuff.”
- “Fun app totally like it. It's not annoying, it's not advertising heavy but fair in its ads. You can pay or not pay to speed up the game. It's a very different game as you help a zombie become a human. I play it until I run out of free stuff to help the zombie.”
- “Three stars for the amount of ads, and the sheer repetition of said ads. Some objectives seem rather unobtainable unless you spend money, which I don't have much of to begin with, so I don't spend it on little games like this. Therefore, it makes the game less fun and accessible to anyone poor like me.”
- “This game, like most current-day games, is a huge cash grab and I'm getting sick of these types of games. If there are devs out there, please don't make cash grab games.”
- “The latest update has turned this once wonderful game into spam, just like any other game you can download for 'free.' Also, the Facebook top fan badge is taken away by Facebook if a user dares to hide ads.”
