Absolute waste of time

You need clicking on airplanes to earn money, but airport upgrades with this money in order to earn more money and pay more expensive airport upgrades… and so on and so forth.
That’s tedious and boring. I spent 2 hours on the first level, just to reach a second one with very little gameplay improvement. Game uninstalled.

The only real benefit is for the development studio since you’re constantly invited to watch long ads, and some are even forced upon you. For them, money isn’t virtual and the benefit is obvious.

Great game but Short

The game is great for the concept but only lasted a couple days. Ads are overwhelmingly annoying unless you pay to get rid of them. Love the update to get coffee cups but it disappears once you hit the end and just move in a continuous loop. Overall just not enough levels.

Response from developer

Thanks so much, I’m glad you enjoyed the concept and the coffee cup update. I hear that the short run, nonstop ads unless you pay, disappearing cups at the loop point, and limited levels made it feel too brief, I’ll share these notes with the team. Thanks again, take care.

Adds Adds Adds

Some many adds…unenjoyable!

Response from developer

Thanks for the two stars and the straight talk. Ad breaks help cover the cost of running a free game, though we know how much they shape the experience, so your comment is on the team's radar now. What would bring the fun back for you?

Cafe

Why doesn’t the cafe always appear. Sometimes I log in it’s there. Most times it’s not. I spend time upgrading then can’t do it for days on end. Have lost the opportunity to get so many coffee cups for upgrading but just miss out.

Response from developer

Thanks for the detail on the cafe! It's in partial rollout right now and will soon be rolled out to all players. If it vanishes after you've had it, please write to game.support@hypercell.games with a description, a screenshot or recording, your device info and OS version.

Too many ad all the time

Too many adds all the time upto 1 minute

Response from developer

Thanks for timing them! We've forwarded the team your note that some run up to a minute. Ads are what let us offer the game for free, and there's a No Ad Breaks option for anyone who prefers fewer interruptions.
