Incredibly boring. - Visually: the 'minimalistic art style' gets bland fast. - Immersion: The only way to manually get money is cleaning solar panels with a tap to generate about a minute of cash, and the numbers themselves rise way too fast. - Progression: things grinded to an immediate halt on the third cycle. I needed $50T to start making new car stuff, I'd be logging in to barely $2T and ads would only get me about $100B.

It starts out as a fun game but once you get to building the engine the game slows down SIGNIFICANTLY. And it's not helped by the fact that the game only idles progress for TWO HOURS. That's it. If you want it to go for the maximum of 10 hours you have to "hire a manager" and that's costs NINE dollars. 9 dollars to get a basic functionality of idle games which is that you can leave them and you'll still make progress. As a result it's painfully painfully slow and so I deleted it. Just wasn't fun

Pretty fun and interesting game. Still a few bugs that need to be fixed (ie. Workers get stuck in a section and can't get out usually fixable if you exit the game and get back in after a while but then it happens again minutes later, thus slowing down everything, random car parts glitching through the assembly line etc...). Otherwise, decent idle game.

A lot of the other comments seem to be complaints about payment. From what I can tell, is you can play and upgrade everything without paying a dime. I'm not generally a fan of Idle Tycoon games. The get boring easily, and make no mistake, this isn't much different. The thing I like about this game is payment or ads really aren't shoved into your face. Besides that, the quality, graphics and overall performance seem to be high level. Enjoyable. For an idle game, it's really good at what it does.

Cool game, fun and polished...for the first day or two maybe, after that you pretty much need to pay money to get bonuses and perks, otherwise you won't be making any progress because everything becomes too expensive, even the simplest upgrades will consume all your money and you'll just have to wait another hour or two (max waiting time for free version) to get the money back to afford the next upgrade and so on, eventually it becomes too slow, even watching ads won't help. Dissapointing.

Updated review. I find this game enjoyable, easy to play, but still a challenge to open all three factorys. My favorite aspect of the game is that you are not forced to watch ads, you only have to watch if you want extra money or perks, unlike some other popular games where your game gets interrupted every few moves for an ad that doesn't give you anything but stress. It's similar to a Steam game that I also own, but easier to carry with you.

Can only play one factory at a time. Half the objective is to grow all your factories, but time freezes on one when you switch to the other. Other than that it's a decent down time filler. Update: something changed with Google play that, more often than not, gets rid of the earnings you made while away, and after you get rid of the account selection window, it tells you you've earned 30 seconds worth. Tempted to drop it to 2 stars and move on, it's frustrating.

Not a tycoon game, it's an IDLE tycoon, in my experience these two game types are completely different in feel and play. Also theres a lot on screen that shows up after you come back to the game the first time which means its hiding the idea it really just wants to make money off of microtransactions. Not new and extremely basic and tiring.

Extremely ad-heavy game. Gameplay took a back-seat while this is mainly about getting you to watch as many ads as humanly possible; requests to watch ads lines every edge of your screen. If you try to play this without watching ads, it would take you weeks to get the same progress as someone who watches all the ads gets in 10 minutes. - Can't design factory floor, only buy new sections. Buying some upgrades for millions of dollars each only shaves off a hundreth of a second. Mediocre "gameplay".

I have to agree with everyone here. The progression is extremely lacking. It's SO SLOW. At this point i log in and can literally do 3 or 4 upgrades on a machine and I'm out of cash, still miles away from any other upgrades. It shouldn't take me a week of logging in every couple of hours to collect money to save up for a parking lot upgrade.
