It’s quite a nice game but you soon realise it’s massively reliant on watching ads to progress (unless you’re one of those who throws money at games).Alas whoever controls the ads has zero comprehension of marketing as most of the ads are long and boring for other games. The only way to survive long term in this game is to build the ads into you’re routine without watching them eg. Press play and then brush your teeth, press play and have a shave…..Of course you then realise you’re surviving the ads without watching them but you’re not actually playing the game….

The game is quite entertaining and enjoyable but lots of ad-watching is involved. Without that, it’s difficult to progress with the game. Nevertheless, at some point even watching ads no longer helps and buying actual packs becomes necessary to pass further levels. I am happy with adverts or even one off fee but refuse to regularly pay for “packs” to be able to play. The game itself is extremely simple, but everything around it is complicated. So many hidden areas, settings, events, pop ups, offers… it’s difficult to navigate. Some basic elements are not clear, for example I don’t know where those “puzzles” come that I need to upgrade my spaceships. If you do upgrade, it is easy and fun to play for a few levels and then the game difficulty and further levels gets adjusted to your spaceship and you’re back to square one. Adverts don’t load so you end up being locked on an ad that never ends and you don’t get your reward once you close the ad. I gave up and uninstalled the game, as it became frustrating and no longer entertaining.

Starts out decent, you can progress at a reasonable rate, upgrade your ships and drones (note: there are no instructions or tutorials on how to play this game, you figure it out on your own). But…. Once you hit a certain level, and you’ve used up all your gems to upgrade (at the beginning you are given gems in multiples of 10/15 etc) you are then only given gems in multiples of 2, and when it costs 60+ gems to upgrade, you’re looking at having to play 30 NEW levels before you can upgrade 1 ship, of course you can PAY to buy the gems (which is obviously what they want you to do. So do yourself a favour, don’t download this game, it will annoy the hell out of you very quickly.Meant to add, don’t even bother with multiplayer, there are obviously ways people cheat on it (such as them being on stage 9 with a 1 star ship while I’m on stage 2 with a 6 star ship), makes it totally boring.

I’ve been playing this game for a long time now and I have spent way too much hard earned cash on it.Spending has been my choice as I really did enjoy the game and the company of my Guild.Unfortunately the developers have been getting really greedy with constant updates to bring in a whole different variety of money making schemes.Some of the schemes have started out well and they did actually reward those that participated, but predictably the rewards that were originally provided have been whittled away to a quite small amount.I could and did live with the above due to my enjoyment of the game and my Guild members as I said previously.However, the developers are now taking it upon themselves to reduce the power of ships, drones and stones (NERF) to “balance playability and improve the gaming experience for all” (these are the words of customer support when I wrote to complain about my ships etc being NERF’ed.Why did I complain? Quite simple; I paid a lot of money to develop my ships and spent a lot of time doing so. For a developer to simply take it upon themselves to NERF what you have paid for is quite simply theft.Be aware and be warned, that if you play this seemingly enjoyable game that there is no doubt that you will be ripped off,
