It's better now, on my newer phone I can at least read the words or the developer made the game larger. It's still really bit dull waiting for stuff to finish making and the tutorial to come back, it should just go away and let us play. Part of the fun of games is figuring it out. It seems to be just all bars, not the game for me.

I've tried to come back to this game 3 times now. The first bug was fixed, but honestly having to watch 20+ ads per day is ridiculous. You can state they aren't necessary all you want but that's just greedy and you know it. 6 ads to get 24 hrs of increased xp per day per area (x2) = 12 ads just for an xp increase. Then there's shortening the training, then xp bonus when you get back from playing, etc. I'd rather you charge for the game then do this. I'm out and not coming back after this.

Overall enjoyable game with some bugs. I was playing yesterday and had my wood factory in the 170s, almost 180, today when i started up i was down to 150s and lost a huge chunk of progress and it changed my talent investment went from over 700% to 400 something. I had the full upgrade of extension grabber but now I'm at nothing on it.

I wish there was an option to pay to remove any ads and claim rewards. Otherwise it's a great little incremental game that can be played for free if you're willing to put work into to earning 1 coin at a time and at a slow rate. Fortunately the coins aren't important in the beginning and if you like the game you may buy some! For me, I just want to pay to get ad rewards without watching ads.πŸ™

The update has resolved the issue, thank you. Now a true review. The game allows you watch ads if you want, not forces you like a lot of other games. My phone may not be strong enough to handle constant progress bars, but modern phones, shouldn't have an issue. Bear in mind, it's an idle game, but it does progress faster with input from watching ads and tapping. I enjoy the simplicity with lots of options as we progress. Great time killer.

Killed time for a while. Didn't play for several months, let me do stuff to metal workshop, when I went to wood workshop, game froze, all my data was gone when I started it again. Losing everything was kinda the final straw. There was nothing more to do when I quit, nothing to work for. Just endless prestiges for no reason. I was hoping more content got added, but instead lost all my data. I understand coding, it's just frustrating. My rating is based only on lack of content, not data loss

One of the best mobile idle games I've played. It was similar to some of my favorite computer idle games from my childhood. Progression is based on prestiging and it's not the kind of game where you have to buy to progress. Also, this game has almost NO ADS!!! Only if you want a boost do you watch an ad. It's not like every other mobile game where it is 50% ads. 10/10 developers

Just kinda meh. There isn't anything to it graphically, yet it takes up tons of space. It's also annoying having to switch screens going between professions, forcing you to watch multiple videos to double the experience from each one. Just gets very monotonous quickly. Uninstalling.

Over-all: Fun, but not spectacular. Pros: Does all the things games in the genre do, BUT does them smoothly and no annoying ads or aggressive micro transaction tactics. It's above average in every category, by just a bit. Cons: I'm a bit irked by the file size, tho... The Google Play page says 30MB, but it takes 90MB+ on my phone. Unlike many other games, this one CAN be moved to a memory card, tho, so no big deal. EDIT: Another pro, the devs are very responsive!

The concept was nice, i played for about 2 weeks. Everything was going great, until this last time i prestiged, everything reset, including my previous upgrades from previous prestiges which were supposed to be permanent. This is all it took, nobody likes losing progress, especially from multiple prestiges. Uninstalled. Never looking back.
