Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
The simple gameplay really does speak for itself, we love learning what we need to do next to build our base and the cherry on top is the developer, to the developer directly: we are so glad you have a passion for these games and people, making games you truly care for, you have truly earned ours and most peoples respect.
Hands down one of the best game and our fav game of all time.Gameplay is amazing as like all other of you guys games.But,it would be nice if like this game has the music option right?So we loved that and would be grateful if there were sound tracks for all other games.And,since we cant support you all(Or you) via money,so for the betterment of you guys(Or you)we want to have a optional ad button on the main screen or something like that so that you can make more and better games:)Powchemeow,is that what its called?New game looks sick but,we have no credit card to play,so yeah.No worries.Best regards.Oh!And more things in this game would be appreciated.
Late to the game but just want to express our appreciation for the simple art style and the smooth experience throughout, no grey screen for us. Wish there couple be new modules and minerals. The possibility is endless :).
Firstly, the game is simple, but fun! Its a fun game where you have to learn to build, manage, and defend your base. We think adding more to this game over time would make it even better (adding new content). So the game is awesome and we would recommend the pro version! Second, we have been really getting frustrated with how many apps have been using ads and forcing you to watch them/click on them. However, this game has NO ADS, not a single ad has been appeared on this game. The creator even says he is not wanting to put ads on his games and we really respect the creator for this. Its things like this that make us want to buy and show our support to the creator, but also keeps us interested in the game.
Your game is so fun for car rides for anything but please make it easier to get pills.
We love the game just wish there was multiplayer Thanks Player.
We could say this about every one of your games. The ui is simple, the gameplay is addictive, its got such a good replay value, much more. Amazing game. Thank you.
We hope this doesnt overwrite our previous review. He mentioned that the pro version only has a few more feature but supports him financially for taking the time to code the app. To this we agree. We will buy the pro version because we have throughly enjoined playing this game.
Boring game where if you make a mistake you fully lose everything.
Very fun game. One gripe we have with the game: there is no way that we can tell to see what each building will produce until after you place it. Specifically we would like to see the symbol of the product. It would be great to see that the factory will produce the circles, laboratory will produce the gum symbol, etc in the build menu.
Who knew simple and smooth graphics make so fun games.
Kinda young like really young writing this review so it kinda feels weird anyways we played this game found it amazing And used to play it all the time but we do have some problems. 1st theres no way to do something like say you have to set all your troops ti defense you cant just put it all in defense you have to decrease all other job bars to zero and usually some buildings will get destroyed if we don get them in there in time. The last one is the auto job cheat it just bugs us that we cant even turn it off we just have to either deal with it or exit the entire game.
We love the game but the gray screen Im not going to explain because you know but also we cant use the unit circle thing in the tutorial we dont know if its intended or not but If its a bug we hope it gets fixed.
Hello, we got this game and tried it out, it was amazing! Although we do have a few suggestions. The AI on sandbox is pretty op, could you add an easier difficulty pls. Also if you play sandbox and have enemy bases, they just build a few different modules. Could you please add a few more things that they could build like, factory or ours. Id like it better if they were more player-like, rather than just solely for attacking you. Lastly, could you please fix the grey screen glitch, and also maybe add a few more modules. Thank You, we love this games and keep up the good work.
It is a pretty good game simple and complicated at the same time which is fun our only complaint tho is that it doesnt tell you or show you how to get certain things like pills or candy we know your supposed to get them from allies but if your like us and accidentally bombed your Allies then they become your enemies and then your screwed and lose tons of work.
Its really fun however after a while it gets annoying defending against the enemies.
We get that the enemy bases need to be challenging but why, pray tell, do you need, to give the enemies, miniguns. Like seriously OUR weapons we have either need units to make(which takes a long time for your units to actually to get around making the units in the houses) OR you build weapons with short ranges and SUPER slow recharging times! We mean their weapons instantly destroy your turrets! And they arent even easy to destroy with the turrets even with only 2 guys in early game! Plus lasers are expensive and get absolutely destroyed by miniguns. And by the way why do the enemy teams or ally teams not like USE there minerals? Like, if we have limited minerals then why do the enemy get like 99999 minerals? If enemies run out of minerals then they cant expand bse as fast and need to focus on building to minerals NOT spamming miniguns.
As you have read the title, this game is pretty good. Although like you have heard from the other reviews, the grey screen keeps popping up. It happens periodically for us. When we try to build something in general it has a chance to go grey on us. And although that is a huge downside, if the creator can get rid of this glitch then everything is great. A little confusing but great. Another part that is great is that the creator reads and responds to the reviews. But a change we would like you to add is to make a button to replay the tutorial. Our tutorial was cut short by the grey screen so we have to learn most of the stuff by ourselves. But even though it has some annoying downsides, the game is great. Keep up the good work.
We really like this game! We play it more than any other game we have on our phone. We like how you can assign units to certain jobs like construction, production, defense, etc. As well as how you can build gigantic bases and defend yourself against enemies. The reason we gave this game a 4 star review though is because of the screen glitch. Anytime your battery goes to 20% or 10%, if you scroll up or down on your phone depending on what it is to look at the time or change something, or if you just exit the app for a second and come back, this grey screen appears that you cant get rid of. Why is this so bad? Anytime your doing a mission and that appears, you just have to exit the game completely and restart what you were doing. That is really annoying! We hope that you all come to understand this glitch or error in your alls scripts so that it may be resolved. Thank you.
Great game, like it a lot. For anyone playing do not swipe up or down for widgets or camera or anything that will suspend the app. The glitch will happen. Other than the glitch we havent found anything wrong with it. Its entertaining, fun, and if you do the tutorial/campaign you will understand with ease.
We really enjoy this game, our main complaint is that it starts to feel very bloated and convoluted once all the dynamics are introduced. Like you show us we can be friends with another base, and then the reason ends up being mosquitoes? Sometimes less is more.
The game is awsome, we spend hours on it daily and we love that it requires you to think. Theres one big problem though, when you put more than two fingers on the screen the whole display turns gray and unresponsive, this causes us to lose all progress we just made. Thus also occurs when we slide down our notification bar to skip a song or something. This can become really annoying, please fix this.
One of the worst tutorials Ive ever played. The grammar is so bad throughout the game that you often cant tell what its asking or telling. Has potential to be a fun game but needs to be overhauled.
Easy to learn is a lie on the App Store page. We really wanted to like this game so we were trying to figure it out. However, we dont think theres an excuse for the lack of usability after being out 4+ years. Our biggest gripe is that there is a menu of almost 20 things to build immediately when you start playing the game, and the menu does not bother to tell you what each building produces or does. The buildings all look the same too, so we have to tap on each nondescript circle to see what we have. Once you place it there is a question mark to vaguely describe it, but why only after placing? If we know we need green circles, what do we build? Blue squares? The tutorial tells you once and expects you to remember. We dont want to open a wiki page and memorize what each building does before we can even play. Most things are unclear like this. A lot of mechanics are difficult to figure out, even with the tutorial, resulting in sitting for minutes in the tutorials without progress. One of many examples: we have just been told to build a road to a monument. We ordered it to build the road, tapping on the destination which was clearly in the build radius. The road flashed a red dotted line, which then just went away with nothing happening. No errors or hints to give us a break? Everything visually cued us we did it right, and we had our workers assigned to get it done but nothing happened. We dont want to have to brute force trial and error every single mechanic. And It wasnt an isolated incident. All the basic info is just completely obscured. There are no counters showing how much of each resource you have, nor a list of what you are able to produce, nor a rate of production. There are no health bars for enemies, no health bars showing when a building is about to blow up, no damage/dps stats for how effective our workers are on defense. There is a timer for the when next attack is coming, but you have to keep clicking on it to read it, no one thought to just make the timer visible all the time on the play screen. Im sure theres a fun game under there somewhere (the genre with nodes and transporting resources speaks to us). But the game is fighting us literally every step of the way. We could memorize things about the game and maybe get through some levels, but the overall lack of information given to the player about everything makes this game a chore.
Cool game but couldnt do anything did what the tutorial said for level two set a couple houses down and nothing tried sandbox and did what tutorial instructed and nothing was moving any resources not sure what we did wrong tried building all kinds of things and nothing changes tapped everything checked options we feel Im missing something but no clue what. We enjoy games like this very much but you should let us start from literal square one and if youre going to make it supe complicated then explain somethings says build houses preferably three and nothing happens when you do that so again not sure what we did wrong but great idea for a game would like to see it improves on in the future.
Ok, so we play in the sandbox mode and we cant make any progress because the enemy base grows to cover half the map before we can get bombers… We were hoping that the developer could make the enemy bases grow just a tad bit slower. Even though the enemys are annoying its a great game.
This is a really fun strategy game, the developer is awesome for putting it up with no ads.
We think this game is really cool. However, we were wondering if you could add a repairman with an orange dot. It could repair buildings that get attacked by the enemy.
Its a little difficult to navigate at first but we love the idea of the game and that theres a lot of content but ads arent pushed down your throat. Its definitely worth checking out if you havent yet. Give the dev some major credit for choosing F2P w/o ads and offering a paid version.
This game is really fun and we rarely see games without 100 ads and IAPs so we thank you for that but the helicopters are annoying so maybe there could be an upgrade for the lasers or something.
When ever you switch into a different tab the game just doesnt work pls fix.
Please Please Please add micro management. For example if your switching a production to a carrier it would be nice to have the ability to pick what production to turn into carrier, or when said carrier is carrying resources, you can select which module to carry to. Thanks.
Generally with a game we dont play it for more than an hour or so before Ive beaten it or gotten bored of it, but so far Ive probably payed 10 or so hours and for hours at a time and we have the attention span of a methed out goldfish, we have to watch multiple shows at once or play a game and a show at the same time just stay engaged. And yet Im still playing this game. And the best part is its free! Would love more updates and content, not because its lacking but just cus we want even more.
Amazing. Also on the gray screen bug, we think it happens when you get an apple notification, like a low battery notification.
Very fun and nice as well as being challenging and very entertaining but we feel at times it can be confusing but we can over come the obstacles eventually maybe a bit more explanations with the objectives is all.
We love this game, and to think it has no Ads or not filled with micro transactions is just insane. And because this game doesnt throw ads at your face every 5 seconds we will 100% buy the pro version Great Game! :D.
Really fun game that has smooth gameplay. Once you understand what everything does, it becomes even more fun. No micro transactions, and the free version is great. Im going to give the paid version a try to support the creator. They deserve the support.
We absolutely love the fact that this game is extremely complex yet so simplistic at the same time. Keep up with these awesome games. You should make an update soon :).
We think this is a really cool game but it does definitely have some bugs , like a grey screen that appears every time we try to change a song or something. Which is saddening but awesome idea for a game.
We rarely (if ever anymore) come across a decent game that isnt loaded down with micro transactions or that isnt expensive. Even rarer still is that we actually take the time to make a review. We have been playing the free version for several days before realizing there was a $.99 version. Games like this we will gladly pay a little bit to support a developer who doesnt load it down with ads and micro transactions. 5 stars for that alone. The game is pretty fun and addictive too.
Like all of the other games by this developer, this game is super cute and obviously a passion project, its awsome that you dont have to have ads or microtransactions and you have an option to support the developer. Highly recommend as are the rest of there games.
We love this game. However. Sandbox Ai is way too op. On easy with rich deposits we managed to keep them at bay until they started to send 50 plus in one round. They would destroy our turrets and by the time we had fixed them they would be on us again . We had no time to do literally anything else because we were so focused on fixing our base every time. Eventually because our base wasnt improving just surviving we were completely over run. Hours wasted. We couldnt work towards destroying their bases because we were trying to keep our drone numbers up and keep them at bay. All they do is build platforms and spawned. They dont have anything else to manage meaning theyre very good at making a large army.
But, there is a bug, after ~1500 ppl at base, game save/loads stop working properly.
The game is one of the best Ive played but when anything happens like pulling up your task bar, the game goes gray and it deletes your progress/corrupts your save. Please play but be somewhat cautious.
It took us a few plays to learn this game, because the tutorial isnt super helpful. To look something up in the help section, you have to leave the game. But once we learned how all the pieces worked, we were hooked. The only thing we havent been able to figure out is how to build a palace. There is a cap of 175 units unless you build more palaces, but we cant find palace in any of the menus.
Everytime we load into a sandbox or campaign the screen goes gray fir some reason.
We love this game so much, its not flashy but the gameplay is amazing. Cant wait to see where this game develops. Also we get the same grey screen glitch. Wont go into too much detail, but we get the same thing with pop-ups or texts/messages. We have an Iphone 11.
Amazing game, filled with fun and really hard to turn off once you get going. Only reason this isnt a 5 star is because of what is known as the grey glitch. We play on an 8plus and encounter this multiple times a level, sometimes without even clicking on a notification. Please fix.
The instructions aren't clear and not sure how to assign units. Otherwise very interested in the game concept.
