Tap Tap Builder: Idle City 4+

Great Game But…

This game is a good game, However I have one issue that bugs me. The achievements are great, but they won’t sink to iOS Game Center. I am unsure how this affects Google Play or other achievement trackers. Another thing. Great Ad system!!! But… the top banner ad is vey annoying. It blocks the ability to see critical resources.

Overall this game is good and I understand that ads are necessary to keep the game free, but all I ask is that they disappear occasionally so players can see the resources.

Long time player (ranked 34 in the world by city level)

I’ve played almost daily for quite a while and have really enjoyed the game but the latest update changed the way you recover energy. You now have to use “Ruby Gems” which are the games premium currency instead of having your energy refilled with every level up like it used to be. You can still wait around for energy to refill but it takes a long time.

I think this is going to be rough on new players and especially rough on people who don’t want to spend real money for Ruby Gems. Nearly everything in the game requires energy and taking away the energy refilling with level up is going to make the game more tedious than it already is.

I’m disappointed in the change which is definitely being done to sell more gems. If you’re looking for a fun way to pass the time with minimal cost then this would have been a great choice prior to this update but I would no longer recommend it to a new player. Hopefully the developer will respond to the community and set things back to the way they were before.

Mildly Disappointed

Solid game with great, fun ways to work around the energy recovery being the main limiting factor. In your most recent patch notes I noticed that you said you doubled ad rewards, but I’m noticing that you might have actually halved the rewards and just doubled or maybe tripled the amount of ads you have to watch in order to get those rewards. Maybe I’m misunderstanding the most recent changes, but it’s something I certainly took note of since I’ve been playing the game on and off for about 5 years. I’m not one to give weak reviews of a game that I genuinely enjoy playing and spend time on every day, but it just seems like a cash grab and makes things less enjoyable for me.

Hello! Before the update you were able to watch the ads once in 4 hours, now you can do it more frequently and also, you can double the rewards with pop up ads.
