Community Insight:
We love this game, but we have no idea how to do studies that are referenced in the Daily Task Menu.
We hate that we cant play this in the go without wifi its very annoying. Because you constantly have to watch ads. But in order to remove ads you have to buy it. Very stupid.
We like the update but you didnt fix the bug that closes the app and returns you to your initial count. Its infuriating. We put this app down for months because of that and you still havent fixed it. Its a real waste. It happens about 15 mins in and that a lot of materiel wasted. Please address this issue. Otherwise its a fun idle game.
The game itself is pretty fun. However, there is an ad every 45 seconds of play and the ad free version is $10. Not worth it since you can be done with the game in about 2 days. After you hit Planet 228 then its just the same level over and over. No new buildings or research.
Fun game so it gets 2 stars but literally there are ads every 90 seconds. We timed them out, we had an ad at 6:50, 6:51, 6:53, 6:54, 6:56, 6:57, 6:59. 7 ads in under 10 minutesIts super annoying and way too much. We get that its a free game so they need revenue somehow, but every 90 seconds is ridiculous.
Way to many ads on the game. Plus you cant play without an internet connection. This game is horrible now with the amount of ads.
If you were in space and you had rockets you would fly off in to space bc of zero gravity but in game you just barely lift into the air.
Paid to remove full ads and they keep showing up. Requesting refund and deleting, as game is redundant and always shows ads after every few actions.
Good premise, mechanics. Instantly spoiled by CONSTANT pop up full screen ads. Game quickly runs out of goals to achieve.
Its been a while since yall added new content to the game, yall should at least add another backpack upgrade.
The rocket ship crashed and everyone died.
Forced ads every few moments. We dont mind watching ads with some incentive. Give us something for watching your ads. When you force Ads to be watched you are just being greedy and placing that greed above making an enjoyable experience for your player base. Hard pass on this game and its to bad because we thought it was going to be fun.
Please add more stuffs to kept us busy.
First off dont get us wrong, the game itself is good. But we never thought that you guys would go down to the dirty level of apps :(Like adding ads like every few minutes, (not to mention the random lag spikes) while we understand the concept and kind of the workings with ads, as in companies pay you guys to advertise and its another income method. But seriously can you please tone it down a little. Ive played some of you guys other games and have gone for longer periods of time between ads not a whole lot but enough for us to get some enjoyment from the games.
For the ad free version to be so high, we thought the game would be more complex. Once youve upgraded everything youre just filling the rocket at high levels. The drones glitch when you override their delivery. We really enjoyed playing this game until everything was upgraded :/.
This is a good game but this is a little boring after a while. We hate the fact that every time you build or upgrade something it plays an ad. You could at least make it it a maximum of $3.99 instead of 9.99 for no ads.
This game is awesome the only thing that isnt good and that needs to be fixed is that its way to laggy and there are too many many ads even if you buy the no ads which is a rip off.
This is a great game but once you have upgraded everything there is no room to grow or to continue making certain items. For example, by the time you have upgraded the moon rock vehicle you have nothing left to use moon rocks for. It should be if you continue to harvest them, you can have them count towards more oil or white bales – like 2 oil = 1 plastic bale and 3 oil = 1 moon rock, etc.
This game is really fun and addicting. But it crashes all the time causing tons of progress to be lost.
We love this game it just needs more content.
We love the game but it keeps lagging then kicking us off, and it wouldnt be that bad but it resets some of the hard work Ive just done. We paid $9.99 for no ads (which is a lot) we usually dont pay that much but we like the game but the booting us off is super annoying.
We used to like this game a lot but recently ill be playing for 10-20 minutes, getting a lot of stuff done and then out of no where the app closes and our progress resets. It used to not both us but now its happening more frequently and causing us to restart a lot of progress.
The game is really great for the longest time. We really enjoy playing it even with the ads. There are other games that definitely have an incessant amount of ads by comparison. That said this game is just really worth the ads for us. The best parts about that are that you dont have to watch ads to advance through the game it merely optional. The other best part is that the ads are those brief 5 second or whatever ones. Not the frustrating full length ones that have caused us to delete 100+ games and often by Voodoo. The same company that makes this particular game. So glad to see that. All in all Ive really considered paying the Steep Price of $9.99 to get rid of the ads but cant do it. The game wont stop lagging or freezing up entirely whenever we have advanced particularly far on a given level and the screen is very busy with activities.
We love this game, but it crashes a lot. We also wish there was more to it :( at some point its just really boring and unrewarding.
It's cute and genuinely enjoyable once you pay ten bucks to turn off ads. The ads make it basically unplayable. We payed but mostly out of frustration while we were trying the game out. We're not sure it was worth it but we're getting a few hours of enjoyment out of it.
Great Game and all but this absolutely drains our battery compared to other games. Our phone gets hot quick. There should be a way of option to turn down particles or other options which improve batter life while playing the game.
Ive had this game for a while and love to play in our free time. The problem is it crashes pretty regularly and sets us back to the beginning of that session. Losing A LOT of progress. Very frustrating and makes us want to play less.
The premise looked really cute and we were excited to play this game whenever we saw it advertised on a different app, but upon playing it you will be bombarded with constant adds that interrupt gameplay. We found it wasnt interesting enough to trudge through the ads and Ive deleted it after having it installed for five minutes.
We really like the game. Its honestly a lot of fun, you can skip the ads after 5 seconds (which is absolutely awesome considering you get an ad literally every 3-4 minutes) and it ran really smoothly for the first couple of days that we played. But today and yesterday, when we were playing, it completely froze up every 30 seconds to where we kept having to relaunch the game. At some points we could get the game to work for around 5 minutes with minimal glitching, but the ads that kept popping up made the game go back to lagging and it did this whether we were on wifi or LTE/5G. This was incredibly annoying because nothing was different from when we were playing the previous few days. This seems to be a pretty significant bug in the game, at least for us. And the final levels are pretty quickly reached. We completed all the levels in about 4 days and thats without binge playing and simply killing time when we were bored. If the dev.s fixed all these issues, Id give it a 5 star rating hands down but these issues really lower the score. Its a fun time waster but not worth all the issues that it has.
Ok so the concept of the game is great! The main goal is cool and the game is overall fun. But theres a ton of problems. First off everytime you get an ad, it causes your game to lag for the first time, then the second time it crashes. So every time we get an ad we need to re-open the app again just to play. And what annoys us a lot is that guy who comes in the space pod and you watch a ad to get free resources, he respawns every time you re-open the app which gets annoying quick. But if thats fixed it would be very cool.
Its fun and addicting until its basically the end of the game and all youre doing continuously is filling up the ship.. Its entirely boring after that. Would not have wasted our time downloading and playing if we knew this prior.
Right after we paid for the game it has been non stop crashing on us, and once everything is upgraded there is nothing else to do, please help us figure out why it keeps crashing.
Sadly your options are $10 for no ads or a (short) ad every minute or so, plus ads at the bottom all the time. Frequency of ads makes it no fun to play.
This was fun to play for a few days, but the levels get repetitive and you do the same thing every time. The constant ads make the game super choppy and crash a lot. Hopefully the game gets better and they can fix whatever bug makes the game so glitchy.
We love the game but Im getting way too many adds and the only way to get them to stop is to pay money. And if you try and play offline then it wont let you play it until you are back online! We hate that fact! We enjoy playing games when on long trips with our family but this makes it super annoying.
The forced ads every 2 minutes makes us not want to keep playing. Even with airplane mode to skip the forced ads, it kicks you out and says to connect to the internet to play. Definitely disappointed. Uninstalling.
We love this game even though it crashes within a few minutes of loading. Love the concept enjoy it immensely wish it didnt crash.
2 minutes into the game full screen add longer than Ive been playing the game. We can only assume it gets worse, deleted immediately.
It would be nice if there were some kind of tutorial as to how to play this game, you have an astronaut, his ship and the surface of the moon. He runs around aimlessly, where does he put the oil hes got stacked on his back ridiculous, mindless game. Deleted.
We know these games need ads to make money but come on. We get at least a 10 second ad every 2 minutes. Thats ridiculous! You cant play a game like this.
The game is great, however the ads make it so laggy that it crashes, or you have to force close the app to play it. Also, paying $10 to remove the ads is insane, and the ads still pop up and make the game laggy.
We paid to remove the ads twice and we still get it also it heats up our phone real quick.
The game is very bad because of the many ads.
The adds that constantly pop up make it impossible to play the game. It makes it super buggy and we spend more time force closing the game to reopen it to attempt to play. It freezes and it is just the same thing over and over now except the numbers you have to hit are insane.
Horrible. Game will lag for 3 to 30 seconds randomly. Full screen ads come up, so you might be tempted to pay $9.99 to get them to stop, well, the game takes your money but full page ads still come up randomly, not just if you ask for them. Scam. When it goes to an ad, chances are about 20% that it will just freeze somewhere in serving the ad forcing you to quit and restart, and about 5% that it will flat out crash. When ads come up mostly audio either drops out or is simply not present. If we were an advertiser, we would avoid serving ads on any Voodoo game as they are not served effectively. We think maybe they had one good programmer at one time and are now just kicking out variants implemented by programmers who barely understand user interaction or, you know, how to code. Game could be fun but implementation is garbage. We would put any developer in our organization that produced code of this quality in the dont-renew-contract category. Wow, Ive not written reviews before, but this game made us so unhappy, we had to.
Ads are too frequent and the developer wants 10 bucks to remove ads? No mobile game is worth 10 bucks. Forget it. Ive played better games with ads removers costing 1-3 bucks. 10 for this? Ridiculous.
Useless game now. Enjoyed it as a time killer before they blocked playing without an internet connection.
Too many adds to be enjoyable and $9.99 is way to much to pay to remove them from such a simple game.
Too many ads, and the game definitely isnt worth paying $9.99 to remove them.
We REALLY enjoy the concept of the game. Mindless upgrading and a time waster, its great. The biggest problem is the forced ads make the game almost unplayable. $10 to remove ads to be able to play a game is insane. If it was cheaper we would buy the no ads in a heart beat and Im sure there are many others that would pay for no ads at a reasonable price. We tried airplane mode but the game then wont allow you to play without an internet connection.
