Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Overall, a good game to pass the time. Has been quite awhile since there has been an update. Looking for more levels, and may a prestige option as well.
We been playing for a while and just recently the top part have been messing up like right now most of the top part is almost off the phone. We love the game and hope this gets fixed.
We really dig this game, but we've gotten to the end of the last expansion. We really hope you keep building onto it.
So we have to give this game credit its super fun and yes its another pay to win type game. But we are tired of watching the ads for the 2x-3x speed for 4 hours. We watch the videos and then while playing the game we get enough missions done to go to the next level and every new level removes our ad speed bonuses. Please fix this. We also have a video recording of it happening so we can email the video to a dev.
This game is fun to pass the time. However, it seems to crash a lot or will not load when you open it. Not sure what happened but we ended up deleting the game.
This is a great opportunity to have only SOLICITED ads to add income or some other perk and NOT have unsolicited ads every time you do something in the game OR allow the game to be played without internet/cellular data.
Its pretty good and we really loke it but we hope that having more of the factory than keep having only 5 of it or having or planet or some other country and also we hope that will have little bit less of the ad.
There are way way to many ads that pop up every time you get a chest or touch the air drop. We counted 8 pop up ads in less than half an hour. Voluntary ads are ok and a rare pop up we get, but wow that was a lot of 3 click ads with Zero payoff. Game is fun and could be addicting but the ads put a halt to that pretty quick. Dont waste your time. No Offline Access either.
We want to like this game but every time we log back in, its reset our progress back to the last time we logged in. Lots of bugs to work out.
Constantly tries to show you ads without your consent, does not save progress untill you watch an ad, even if you close the prompt to watch an ad it will still show you an add. Verdict: 1 star for greedy developers.
DONT install we couldnt even play and from other reviews it seems that it has a big ad problem and as to why we cant play it keeps telling us to check us internet connection but its fine. Also it doesnt seem the devs really care anymore.
We get it we all have to eat but the amount of ads is annoying and just gets in the way of gameplay. We cant click anywhere without worrying ill have to wait 5-15 sec until we can click skip the ad.
When you first start the game you are getting a chest every minute for accomplishments. Every other chest is an advertisement before it gives you a reward. If we wanted to spend 15 sec of every minute watching an advertisement, we would just go watch youtube.
Constantly crashes due to advertisements and also likes to reset/wipe all of your progress for no reason with no explanation.
The weekly challenges always have a bug and that is getting really old. You need to fix this or will continue to lose players.
The events run out of missions and we can do nothing more. This newest one gave us two missions and no more so we are stuck at level 1.
Game was going good, asked for reward for watching ad, we said no, it completely crashed. Even when we unloaded app, and redownloaded it, still doesnt work. Smh.
The special event this weekend is not working. The objectives are not counting productions so never finish, so no rewards.
Recently this game has started replaying ads, it resets the bonus levels when you hit expansion and right now we have two objectives that wont move.
Glitches a ton. The bottoms to switch between lines at the bottom dont appear all the time. Sometimes theyre off.. It says you fixed minor bugs on the last update, but you added 50 for us. Thanks.
The game is a decent fix for an idle game. Could use a few less skippable ads when opening chests or completing the objectives. Apart from the bugs, this is the biggest issue this game seems to have. The bugs being the biggest the game will often glitch out one of our production lines. Force closing does nothing, it will only reappear if we uninstall the game. If theres an easier way, we havent found it. This gets pretty tiring, and is why Ive given it 2 stars. Maybe Ill give it another go once they can tackle their issues.
Havent been able to get the game to work in almost a week now. Cant get it to load past 70%.
Every time it embers to 95 percent in loading it kicks us out of it we cant even play it.
Dont bother with this one. Its overloaded with ads. Theres more ads than gameplay. A quick delete. Terrible.
We see many reviews saying the game is fun, wish we could get past the check graphic quality on the load screen. Seems like click bait to us.
This could be a fun game except the poor execution. The game locks up frequently and starting yesterday it wont even load. It will get to 55 percent and stop. Im not sure if the problems come from incompetence or lack of concern but Im done, deleting after posting this.
Overall, a good game to pass the time. Has been quite awhile since there has been an update. Looking for more levels, and may a prestige option as well.
It would be nice if a new update would come out cause once you hit level 60 there are no more levels and all you can do is the events. Ive been done with level 60 for months. Its a really fun game just wish it had more.
We really like this game, but theres a couple glaring issues or flaws with this game. First, way too many adds, second, and the biggest issue, many times you watch an ad for a reward or bonus, afterwards, it takes you right back to the screen to play the add, and no reward was granted. This used to be an occasional issue, but it happens probably 30-50% of the time now. Ive spent more hours than Id like to admit, but Im about ready to delete it due to this issue. Finally, the developers need to add levels beyond 60.
The game itself is really fun, which is why Im disappointed it doesnt work. The ads frequently crash the game, and more often than not, they dont actually give you the reward youre watching them for the first time you watch it, forcing you to watch the ad multiple times. And ads that say you will earn the reward after watching a portion of it (ie 30 seconds of a 3 minute long ad), if you click the x after watching enough of the ad, it will NEVER give you the reward. It gives you the opportunity to watch a video again, and sometimes it will give you a different ad that will work, but other times it gives the same super long video and will not give the reward. We dont know if its an intentional developer ploy to get more ad revenue or if its an ongoing glitch they cant figure out how to fix (or dont care enough about to fix), but its been that way since we started playing the game a couple months ago. Im on level 52 for reference. It significantly reduces the amount of time we would spend playing the game. And its gotten to the point where we may stop playing the game altogether due to the frustration. Its just not worth it at this point. Closing and reopening the game, updating the app, and turning our phone off and on doesnt fix the issue.
Once you get past the first tutorial area, you are basically inundated with ads every time you do anything. Theyre the type of ad that just suddenly starts playing, without any warning. With all the in-app purchases and optional ad rewards, also having forced ads just feels greedy to us. Id gladly watch the occasional ad for a 2x income boost, or to open a chest, or whatever, but because of the forced ads, we have uninstalled this game. We didnt get very far into the game before those ads annoyed us to the point of closing the game, but it did seem like it could be a fun little idle game.
With the last few updates, there are now random ads that pop up. This is beyond annoying and makes us want to delete this app.
We got to level 4 and can no longer do any objectives or quests to rank up. Which locks us out of being able to get anything that requires a higher rank to get.
Wouldve been fun but too many random ads. Would get them once a minute at least and definitely would interrupt the gameplay.
Game wont connect to the internet despite being connected to the internet.
The game is fun, but there are so many ads and it takes away from the game play. Id love to actually play it and dont mind watching a few ads here and there, but an ad every minute or 2 is outrageous.
Needs update because the bottom of the screen doesnt work.
Tapping any of the bottom buttons falls to activate the associated action. The buttons highlight but the associated action doesn't fire. This is only since the last update and the problem occurs on both our wife's and our iPhones (11 pro max and 12), and our iPad.
It was a great game. Good for killing time and easy to play and advance. Sure we threw a few bucks here and there but honestly didnt have to. THEN THEY UPDATED Now it doesnt appear that the bonus works the same. Doesnt feel like Im getting the 300% income bonus. The bonus drones are only offering some pitiful 2.5l when Im already into the M amounts. Before this update we were getting into the M amounts in a day or 2 once our factories were established. Now Im stuck because the game isnt getting us enough money to advance. Its been a week since the update and Im still in the same level. Unbelievable.
Nice idle game. A lot of ads no longer work. Weekly events need refresh. Right now its the same two alternating each week. Boring.
Ads are currently not loading in the game in any instance: offline earnings, opening chests, bonus production boots. It is happening in the main game as well as the current event. We were playing late last night with no issues. The game is now no fun to play.
We were at level 10 and decided to do the event, but all the sudden it kicks us out of the event mode and sends us all the way back down to level 3.
There are way too many ads in this app. We want there to be a no-ads purchase, like a lot of other apps.
Ok game but nice making gig. Too many adds. Dont waste your time.
Many games occasionally give you the option to watch an ad in exchange for coins and stuff. We love that model when it works, and when Im in the mood Ill watch a few. But in this game you are given the choice, and even if you choose no, you are forced to watch the ad (and get no reward). Not sure if its just a bug or a scam to get around Apple Store rules, but its definitely obnoxious.
There was a limited time purchase, $4.99 to remove ads. It did not, however, clarify that it didnt remove all ads after all. Looked at another bundle afterwards, and it would be $14.99 to actually remove all ads, but would only last a month. What is the point of paying to remove ads, if the ads arent actually removed.
This game was fun but now when we try to play it tells us we need to connect to the internet. We AM CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET.
Im addicted to this game. Play several hours a day. We got to level 15, went to the event and then came back JUST to find out that we were at level 7!!! Its taking along time to get where we were… The bonus drones dont work for us.
When you click on the drone you are given an option to watch an ad for bonus or you can close the window. No matter which option you chose, an ad plays. Very deceptive on the part of the app maker to generate ad revenue.
Yesterday we paid a few bucks so we would not have those annoying pop up ads, regardless, they took our money and we still get those pop up ads. We would like to have our money back.
