Is Monster Dash profitable?

With estimated build cost $245K and monthly revenue $700K, Monster Dash looks highly profitable — pays back its build investment in under a month at the current run-rate. Profitability also depends on paid-acquisition spend and refund rate which the public model doesn't see.
