Idle Breaker 12+

I enjoy the game a lot I was thinking of some ways to maybe make the game better in the future. Adding different tools. So when you upgrade your weapon it upgrades all of them and just set at as “weapon upgrades” and you could have like 4 different tools you have to physically switch from 1. Axe for wood items 2. Wrench/screwdriver for electronic items 3. Machete/knife for rubber and canvas 4. Hammer for glass ceramic. When you use the correct tool to break an object you get 2x materials from that object. Just an idea thought it would be fun. Also the “trader” it isn’t much of trading it’s more crafting he may as well be called a crafter or engineer. Trading would be like I’m going to trade my screws for wood or of that nature. Maybe change his name or add an actual trader.

Let me start this by saying that this was a really fun game when I first started playing. But once you upgrade the tool to level 20, it takes waaay too long to upgrade to 21. Before, it took 30 minutes of play time to gather resources to upgrade. Once you get to level 20, it takes days. You need 115 microchips to get one circuit board and one of the items needed to upgrade to level 21 are three circuit boards. I’ve completed 12 expeditions and have only managed to trade for one board. You only get 8-9 microchips per expedition and if you watch an ad to get 15% more, you only get one more. You can also watch an ad to get 4 microchips at the trading place, but that doesn’t really help. And why are there so many ads? It’s bad enough that there’s an ad taking up the bottom 3/4” of the screen, I also have to be interrupted every five minutes for an ad? And the expeditions so far feel monotonous. Yeah, they change slightly, but not enough to make it feel like a different area or feel fun/exciting. You break up the exact same stuff in almost the exact same spot. The only thing that changes is the building, at least in the vacation expedition. Even then, the inside of the building is the same as the others. I was having a lot of fun playing this game until I realized how long it was going to take to upgrade the tool to the next level. Now, I feel like I’m just doing some really lame farming.

I’ve played a lot of games on my cellphone over the years, and a lot of those games will have you watch ads from time to time. But never have I played a game that makes you watch ads like this. Literally everything involves ads. While playing the game every two minutes they will make you watch ads. It’s quite egregious actually. Also, you have a hammer that is used to break things, that hammer maxes out at level 24, even tho there are tons of other things that you could potentially smash if you had a higher level hammer… so even though the game allows you to progress farther and farther to harder and harder levels, your hammer will just stay the same, when it’s supposed to get better and be able to smash lesser o heats easier and easier. I am certain this is to make you watch more ads. Because if you are forced to stand there upwards of twenty seconds hammering away at an object, that is more time you have to be in a level, which gives them more chances to make you watch ads. I don’t know why I keep playing. I honestly do it very little. I’ll just open the app, and go to the trader and refresh my trades, because if you want something or you need to combine something that will take time (which can be skipped with ads.) In conclusion, if you like torturing yourself with ads, (and something I forgot to mention is these ads are longer than 30 seconds, some even going over the one minute mark) then this may be the game for you. One star.
