Community Insight:
Great game for relaxing. Starts off slow, but gets moving faster. Once it gets up and going its fun.
Really enjoyable and simple game 10/10.
Hi,game makers we want to say that we love this game and the fact its free is great but is has one problem when the game offers you free stuff and have to pay in gold or watch a ad but they dont load thx keep up the good work.
It is an amazing game and we have played on and off on an android tablet for 3 years and just one of those games you cant stop playing.
The game is a great time killer and very satisfying, our only issue that we have is a small bug where the little red notification in the bottom hand corner will not go away and it is very distracting. It can be very annoying after a while but other than that this game is very fun.
Should be an option to get no ads and get the bonuses.
We spent nine dollars to get the permanent manager so we could be away for ten hours at a time and it doesnt work please fix it.
Its flawed but easy, quaint, doesnt burn your battery when you turn off shadows and doesnt try to shove any roadblocks or propaganda on you (minus the third party ads). The income not matching up to the increase in cost is because of the availability of a new more valuable station to make an appropriate amount of money and it takes longer for the car to be sold. The IAPs are really for the people with money to burn to throw a hundred dollars at the dev; the average player doesnt have to spend anything it just takes patience. Id like to see a game like this with a power plant concept if its not too much trouble.
We love the game but its glitched out and we cant fix it. We upgraded to a new car model and it didnt reset our parking lot. So we can only have 6 people working. Help lol.
It is very important that deva listen to ideas for improvements and the game is very simple to start with. No ads or anything that keeps you watching. Highly recommended.
Love this game and you can easily play it without spending money but we will to support this amazing developer that doesnt create just another scam idle game. We seriously didnt think Id ever be able to play a free game these days without so much bloatware, ads, and pay to play tactics. Thank you.
We really like this game, but the ads are just way too much, need to have a skip ads option in the shop.
We enjoy this quite a bit, the number of commercials is very reasonable the amount of in game currency you receive for completing tasks is larger then other games like this and its held our attention longer than we expected. One small complaint about something small, we cant read the description of what does what when leveling things up, its not a huge deal if youve played other idles but it would be nice to have that information.
We really love this game, and the devs also listened when the bugs are reported, cause they fixes this bug that kept happening to us a few days ago. We found another bug though. Everytime the car frame with the engine goes into the money place, it drives out back to where it came from, then drives back in. We find this super weird, so if you could fix it it would be great! Thanks! Otherwise, this is a great game that we recommend! P.S. We also sent a email to the support team about this bug.
We love this game its hard to find a good tycoon game but this Dosent make really make sense maybe we need to play it for longer to understand how to work it but the game has a few bugs and besides all that credit to the owner nice game.
We can't turn it off after watching the advertisement.
Not sure if the game is still being updated but if we can have a rehaul on the quests and not having to exit the game so we can have new quests pop up.
Ive gotten 10 out of the 11 cars needed, but our game cant seem to get past 60 vigintillion. Ive done the math (5.258 vigintillion every 0.85 minutes = 4.4693 vigintillion every minute. Time two because we bought the boost is 8.9386 every minute. Times 60 for every hour then times 10 because we bought the manager. 5,363.16 vigintillion every time we should come back. Or 5.36 Unvigintillion. Plus the times three for the gold equals 15 Unvigintillion dollars we should be getting every 10 hours instead of 60 to 67 per 10 hours). We should be getting a lot more money than this game has us getting. We also think that this game should have boosters to buy for gold. There should be more gold given for the tasks at the end for getting level 2000 on stuff. We really enjoy this game but its hard to when we know we should be getting a lot more money and Im stuck upgrading one thing over and over again.
This game is the best it has little micro tranactions and is easy to pick up and you advance Supra fast but later the game starts to slow down and takes weeks to get something but still it a 4.5/5 game recommend it.
The game is pretty good except for the fact that even if you have enough money in the game you cant buy some stuff which is annoying. For example, when im upgrading the break room we see something we want to buy as an upgrade and it shows as if we dont have enough money when we have way more than needed. We dont know we just think its annoying other than that pretty entertaining.
We have been playing this game for about a month now. Extremely entertaining and keeps bringing us back. We have 2 drawbacks though- 1) we have been experiencing 2 different glitches where (one) the cars will drive off the conveyor and go to another machine and (two) cars will get stuck at the final point where they are sold (the little machine with fans). Please fix this. 2) There are not enough features we fell like. After getting far in the cars and have multiple factories, what are you playing for? We feel like there should be online systems, wether scoreboards or completions, we really think it should be a thing. With all due respect, Please consider our requests.
This game is AMAZING. It is the only game we have not purged from our phone. It is very easy to play and simple to get to the next step. There are only 2 issues we have. When In warehouse one to upgrade, you have to back out then go into warehouse 2, then 3, and so on. It would be better if there were arrows to move to the next warehouse to upgrade like there are with the machines and break rooms. Secondly, once you system update and software upgrade the machines, they dont seem to make enough money and it dramatically slows the game process down. Lastly, after playing this game for a year or so, we only just now discovered you can HOLD THE BUTTON DOWN to upgrade multiple times at once. We thought we were gonna get arthritis from tapping multiple thousands of times to upgrade machines. Making this more clear would really be beneficial to those that may get discouraged from the game. Otherwise it was WELL worth the download.
The UI for building a new type of car is not there. Otherwise, fun game.
The game is okay, doesnt require too much attention and gives you that feeling youre winning. We like how there are a lot of different things you can build and upgrade, as well as the ability to get coins without having to pay (more on that later), so you can do some upgrades and get a little ahead to progress to newer cars. There are no intrusive ads, you can either watch them or not and theyre not long. The developer definitely made a good game to keep everyone entertained and wanting to come back for more. The issue that leaves us giving this a 3 star is that the progression seems extremely unbalanced. You can quickly get yourself up to new cars, eventually even being able to max out a lot of stuff quickly. Maybe too quick. We got to the Van and am at a point it could take us weeks, if not months, just to get enough money to get to the next vehicle because the income vs level wall is a huge, and we mean HUGE, difference. Unless youve saved all your free coins up to this point (which we doubt anyone has as theyre needed to even get this far, just as we need them now), you will come to a point as other have mentioned where you are stuck and wont be able to get anywhere. Well, not unless you start throwing money into the game. But by doing that, youll just get yourself so far ahead that there isnt a reason to keep playing. Because the stuff you can buy is so rewarding and cheap, that being stuck wont be an issue. Since we already watch a bunch of ads that pay the developer, Im not spending money on this game. Because of that we are now stuck and its no longer worth our time to keep playing. TLDR; Youll eventually get stuck, unless you pay real money. Paying isnt worth it, because then you can just get all the money you need with coins and it isnt worth playing. Fun game, until you hit the artificial pay wall.
You hit a major standstill in revenue per minute once you get the base metal, suspension, body, and then engine stations. Even with all four upgrades including all four machines per station to produce the vehicles, we DO NOT make enough money to be able to play this game with joy. Right now, each additional upgrade on a station will take over 6 minutes to upgrade by ONE SINGLE UPGRADE out of the three categories. Additionally, Im expected to unlock the interior station after five days of consistently leaving the game and our screen on. That is why ourselves, and our friends around us have uninstalled the game. The next prestige (third one), needs to be substantially cheaper in order to avoid the stand still, or there needs to be some type of BETTER passive income. When four of our stations are making 100 billion dollars a minute, each solar panel should not be making us 4billion each panel. No logical sense there. Also, the bonus coins you get for completing landmarks/checkpoints/achievementsusually dont show up unless you restart the app, collect your 3-4 objective bonuses until it grays out, and then you have to restart the game again to collect more. Like, WHY??? Why not give a three tier list of checkpoints or achievements? Or make it so the ones that are completed just take priority over uncompleted ones? This feature feels very buggy, and honestly we have no clue when Ive completed an achievement because of this. These major flaws would allow this game to be top tier, but in its current state, its unplayable unless your wallet book is open. 2/5 stars unless this updates and these fixes are corrected. Only then our review will change to 5/5 stars.
We absolutely love this game but once you get to a certain level you just cant get any higher, please add better multipliers for it.
Either a possible glitch or poor planning.. When you go to the second factory all work stops at the first. When you close the game and reopen you only get offline income for the last factory you was at. Edit: yet another glitch. Workers just start walking back and forth at the windows machine. The longer the game is open the more workers get stuck. Makes it impossible to run the last few sections. EDIT: Can someone get this message to the developers. The workers getting stuck glitch only happens after you buy the quality control station.
This game is for age 4+ and has ads for porn in their game. Tried to use the support email through the app and it gets returned. Beware.
Game has achievements but they never activate. Explains why each one says less than 0.1% players have unlocked this. Fraud.
We just installed the game and we saw the last update was a year ago, we were like okay it has to be a dead game it just got updated?! Holy cow thats awesome.
Ive had this game for awhile and one day we turned this game on and played it the suspension machine just teleports the frame into the mic hone then stays invisible for the whole time until wheels pop up and still invisible glitches under the conveyer belt till last second it goes to sell but if you have other machines past the suspension machine it stays under and then it floats back up regular after a while Thank you.
We just started playing this game and its really fun just a few bugs. We think this is a great game just that you have to wait a lot to buy 1 upgrade maybe change the prices their to high. We think this game could be a way to success but to the devs dont be greedy.
Really cool game we also recommend it when your bored.
Its Avery fun game no bugs and if you like tycoons we think you should he tthis.
When we downloaded this game it was so much fun and it still is! But there is one little bug. When the cars are being built its not showing the animation of them being built please fix this bug.
No ads unless you want to watch them. Definitely not pay to win. Great game to steal all of your time when you want it too. Im not constantly being blasted with notifications about coming back to play, however, we constantly am coming back to play. A few graphical glitches here and there but overall an excellent game and serves as a model for how games should be made.
Would like to see an update thats all.
We love the game because it has our loved cars yes we love them.
We like making the cars and we like how the little workers move around.

The game is really fun and we enjoy but the conveyors belts glitch out and make our items disappear on them until they get to the sell point, could you could fix this so we can see our items on the conveyor please.
This is an amazing game!!! We too have the visual glitch of the new products not showing until they get to the end of the conveyor belt. Please fix this.
We got addicted the moment we cleaned the first solar panel, dont play this game because youll get addicted, we cant stop playing.
The problem is The haters are bots.
Omg! We were waiting for it to ask for a review. DOWNLOAD IT! UNDO IT IF ITS BAD. Patience level is nice plus tou always have to be ready to clean.
We started playing 3 days ago and got the suspension machine,but every time the chassis goes to the suspension machine the chassis dissapears,please fix this bug because of the fact that it makes the suspension machine useless.
This game is great but there is a bug where when the car goes thorough the stations it does not show up.
We like the game ,but the suspension machine glitches the chassis then the appear at the end of the conveyor sideways.
Good idle tycoon game, just like all of others but obv with cars. Main problem is the bug of the cars disappearing/glitched through the floor past the suspension station. You just see the roof of the body moving along poking through the ground.
This is a great gameit just needs the ability to purchase a way to avoid watching the ads for the bonuses. If they could write that into the code, that would make this game a lot more fun because you wouldnt have to take time to watch the ads in order to activate the bonuses or the quests.
