Community Insight:
It the music is good and we love the way their are different ways to do stuff.
We love it ok some may not but we do ok.
Good progression of levels and upgrades for an idle game. Many others require long waits between progress steps. This one can be played almost live without wait periods.
Very good we love it. It takes a while to get everything though. Thats our only complaint that is just very universal. Its like Sahara desert. We love it. Absolutely would recommend it. We would recommend it to everybody.
Its fun and addicting we play it non stop you do have to have patience at the beginning of the game but its still fun.
So far very fun to play and entertaining.
This app is really good but we think that you guys should do a ad that is the same thing as the app because some people dont download the app because they probably think is fake.
Its a cool game, finally a game without a bunch of useless adds.
Amazing game!if you want to play a game on a roadtrip this is the perfect game. Highly recommend this game.
Roadside Empire is a good game to pass time. Concept is easy, gameplay is smooth.
OK, this game mightve lied to us in the ads we saw but when we played it actually was good. Im not a bot, but this is a pretty good game. It might have some potential.
A dopamine inducing game for sure. However we wanna take this opportunity to maybe call out these recent free games. We think that they dont let ads load anymore(example: watch an ad for 20 min 2x money) so that its so enticing to get the free rewards, but you cannot(because they dont load), that you pay for no ads.
This game is really addictive and has little to no ads we could play this for hours straight to pass time and it takes a while to complete.
A very good game. No forced advertisement.
BEST QUALITY PROFESSIONAL PAINTING LOVED IT.
We really appreciated the ad removal once it was paid for so we could enjoy the game. Most other games remove the automatic ads but still force some on you when you select a trigger like the 2x timer.
Would put it as a 5 start but we feel like if Im off the expedition and on the main levels it should count toward afk money for the expedition but it doesnt.
We overall like the game, but itd be nice if once you complete the levels in Nevada that you go to a different setting at least a couple of times because then even if its the same overall premise, you at least get a different background.
The number of adds that you must watch in order to get ANYTHING DONE IS CRAZY.
We only started playing this today, but so far we are happy. It is a typical tycoon type game but we are very happy with the reasonable price of $19 to buy No Ads and the income multiplier. We look forward to playing this for a while.
All these people complaining about how much they spent on one of the areas its a game you go to different locations trying to rebuild of what the person your after destroyed the only thing bad about the game is that you have the little maps you can do with the monster trucks but cant ever get first second or third bc there is always someone somehow finishing in less than or a little over a minute and then you have people like us that it takes roughly 15 to 25 minutes to complete them bc you have to constantly watch adds to get the money faster from that person that pops up and it just makes the little games pointless to even play and then even the daily thing that pops up that gives you the weird pink star thing to click activate on it and you have people like us that it takes sometimes a day to do bc theres 14 challenges to do and you have people somehow completing them in 15 minutes to roughly an 1 which makes no sense we think you should make it where if you pay things with irl money you get challenges with those people and the people that dont spend irl money they get matched up with those people or those peoples that is usually making it first second and third with less than an hour is cheating which when you download it game it makes you agree to this thing that talks about cheating will not be accepted in this game or any of there games.
We really enjoy this game. But, as others have written, there are only a few levels and once you have completed them they repeat again. Will the developers create more levels? We hope so. If they add more levels this game would be a 5.
The developers did a great job on the look of the game. Unfortunately it gets boring by chapter 3. You basically do the same thing over and over. You just have to wait exponentially longer to do it. The point of these games never made sense to us. Theyre really just time wasters.
We really like this game its fun and entertaining! BUT,! Please please please add a tutorial mode or something ! Maybe an instructional option with back story. The game is actually very fun. But its confusing !! We mean it just opens and bam,the game starts at 100% You dont know WTH is going on because there is no instructions or tutorial so it gets frustrating and overwhelming immediately !it makes it seem like the game is way more complicated & difficult then it actually is. Ok so yeah we like the game a lot ! Just add a little info and instruction. Thanx.
This is a fun little game and could easily get a higher star rating if there were more levels. Its SO BORING to play the same thing over and over again. You had a nice little story going and then..nothing.
The game is okay. We wish it was more interactive and allowed for growth of coins a little faster.
The title pretty much sums it up. The game is smooth, concept is good, and the only story is good. This game just needs a continuation. More stars if it had more story.
Not bad for an idle game. Good enough to pass time when youre bored.
The amount of illegal turns that these cars make is wild.
This game has no bugs and its so fun.
Ive been playing this game for a little while and enjoyed it but had concerns. After this last update, everything has been resolved. Well done, devs. Wish all our games had this much support.
If the developer continues add content this would be 4 or 5 star game. The story only last 6 levels. The levels repeat after that, but the main story does not. We imagine the game right now is just chapter 1. With future story arcs and new levels. The levels get harder and harder. Each building requiring more stars to advance. If you are going to get the no ads, get it for $12. And get it early. It really makes the game better without the ads. Getting gems and using them for card upgrades is the only part thats interesting after you complete the story. The cards add specials to your game. We imagine at some point all of our workers will be zipping around. Over all a good plane ride game or time killer. Could be great when they add more content.
We really enjoy the game and has good flow and story, but needs to have more content. Finished and then just starts over. Great concept just hoping for more soon.
They dont tell you (until youve spent money potentially and completed the game) that they are still in beta so the storyline you invest in, and game you commit to is actually unfinished – im okay to have spent money and support the developers, because they clearly have put a lot of work into this. – we just wish they were more transparent about it not being complete.
Good game but its too much ad than playtime.
We love playing this game. Especially after a rough day. It allows us to just click and play. Hopefully theyll add more to the game.
We have a great time with the game and we love it so much and we love the game.
If youre looking for time to pass and a wonderful game to play you found and came to the right place.
Still figuring it out. But good so far.
This game is insanely fun. We play it every day.
We played this whole game through. Needs more levels, stations and storyline.
This game isnt lying in the ads, and it has a backstory that makes it better, and how did his grandpa die? We still hate that victor guy.
This game is fun and addicting. If you love idle games, this one is the best Ive played.
We really like the game we just wish there was more story to it. Feels very incomplete.
It seems to be a beta version. We ran out of levels in two days, so Im really glad we didnt spend the money for ad free play. Also ad free is anywhere from $12-$22 (short time $ off specials) while most games give you ad free for $4 or $5 dollars.
Really like this game would really give it a 4.5 the only thing we would change is that sometimes when you get more spots open the at certain area theres not enough space for cars to come in and out of so they sit and wait so you dont get to make as much money as fast. Also for the monster truck levels it would cooler if they were a little bit different each time there a little to repetitive but still really like the game and cant wait for more levels.
We were not aware this game is in a beta stage. Very surprised to find out Las Vegas is the only area currently. It is fun though, just wish we dont have to wait for more to be released to continue to play. We will probably be on to something else by then.
Saw Ona ad and gave it a shot always like these type of games 4 * takes awhile to earn cash…to improve the gas station 11-16-figure out the problem good game and few times a day better then other games we played like it.
Good variation on the genre, but the fun is ruined once you get to the second level and your moneymaker businesses were all stupidly designed to make the line wait for every car to leave before allowing one to enter, so in effect it never gets more than one car at a time no matter what you do. Frustrating.
When we buy a new build and get all 4 slots when the cars back up the cars meant to go in to the garage have to wait meaning about two cars in total can actually go in the building even though there is four slots.
