The game looks beautifully, it's fun, imaginative and addictive ... roughly up to level 9. Then as a player you quickly realize that without recharging, you won’t go far in this game. Dear Developers, I have read your responses, where you state that this is a game in which I have to "take my time" and that in your opinion it is not a pay-to-win game, but I dare to not agree. The game is clearly designed to draw money from players - and it's not cheap! The cheapest top-up for PLN 18 ?! Premium access for PLN 1000 per year ?! Greed of the creators is unfortunately, very evident. You can play +/- 5 minutes without recharging, then you have to turn the game off and wait. You, as devs, take all the pleasure of CLICKING away from the player, of actually PLAYING the game. A simple solution would be to reduce the amount of energy consumed when extracting resources, or to increase the energy limit. Playing 5 minutes and then waiting 5 hours is a waste of those 5 minutes. With sadness I uninstalled the game. It’s heartbreaking to see that the fantastic work of graphic designers and gameplay designers is destroyed by the greed of this company’s owners.
Hello! Thank you very much for such a detailed review! We're sad to hear that you've left disappointed with the game. We do our best to make the Klondike world both challenging and relaxing, so we have to keep the game balance and make our players happy at the same time. The game is free, and you can play it and progress in it without buying coins or emeralds, though they are a good bonus and, obviously, the players who buy emeralds in the game make progress much faster, as it is true for all games. However, it doesn't mean that it is impossible to play without in-game purchases. For sure it is challenging to complete all locations and quests at the same time, but it is possible to find a strategy. The higher your level is, the harder the tasks are. Sometimes, you don't need to cut out huge objects to move further, it might be just a small obstacle blocking your way. Choose wisely what objects to cut, refill your energy using all the available methods right at your Home Station and concentrate on one or two tasks at a time. That will definitely help you to succeed. If you need any help or advice please contact us through the game and we'll do our best to help you within the shortest possible time. We hope that you'll give our game another chance. Thank you once again and hugs from the North! :)
