Ratings and Reviews
I so genuinely love this game
This game is incredibly fun, insanely addictive, and understands something most mobile games genuinely don’t. That is that consumers are more willing to watch additional ads for boosts if there aren’t forced ads. I don’t watch boosting ads in any other game and it is solely because I hate having to watch ads for no rewards and then having to do it again if I want a boost. Upon opening the game in the morning, I usually watch 2-3 ads by choice. But I don’t need them to complete the game. You don’t have to accept those boosts. It just makes things a little easier and I appreciate that. It is such a good game and this dev deserves all the love and support I have to give.
Love it, would recommend to anyone
This game is a diamond in a coal mine. With all the new popular mobile games being essentially the same low effort and ad filled money cows, this game does everything right. It does ads how they should be: not forced. They only show up when you agree to watch one for a reward. The game is actually fun to play, even compared to other good idle games I’ve played. The only thing I would critique, though I’m sure it would be added in a future update, would be a soundtrack. There are no sound effects or music in the game, but it doesn’t affect me much.
I love it, but buying shards seems to be a little funky.
This game is one that I’ve been playing for a while, and I now noticed that my Safe is full. I go to unlock the safe, which is a $4.99 transaction, get charged accordingly, but then it gets stuck in verifying for over 10 minutes. I go to restart the app, and despite getting charged for it, the safe isn’t unlocked! I go to contact support with their button in the settings, but the button doesn’t work!
I love this game but I don’t really want to play it anymore after having it eat $5 and then not allowing me to even ask for a refund/fix.
Tl;dr I bought an in-app purchase and it took my money, didn’t give me the product, and won’t let me contact support.
