### 4/5 — Don’t watch the ads they don’t work

*2026-08-27, version 1.2.22*

Watched one ad for 15.8 M, no reward, watched it all the way through. Thought, oh well it bugged I’ll wait for the next one. Same thing. The ad rewards do not work, don’t waste the 30 seconds

### 4/5 — Save glitches every once in a while, but not constantly

*2026-08-26, version 1.2.22*

So this is a few weeks later, so my previous save was indeed being weird, but the game is still a little laggy, still very good, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Highly recommend

### 3/5 — Game is okey

*2026-08-14, version 1.2.22*

Good game but progression is very slow, you will be stuck with the same buildings for long periods of time

### 5/5 — love this game

*2026-06-07, version 1.2.22*

fun conveyor belt game

### 5/5 — Great job.

*2026-06-01, version 1.2.22*

This game is incredible. I love it. I feel like it’s a smart persons game. Well done!

### 5/5 — 2nd time player

*2026-06-01, version 1.2.22*

Played the first assembly line and i hit a brick wall because you can only increase your base so much and make a certain amount of things. This one looks heaps more developed and I’m super excited to complete it!!

### 4/5 — Factory

*2026-05-15, version 1.2.22*

It’s simple but still good and not so simple it’s easy I still have to think I just don’t need to have a degree in quantum physics to actually play it

### 5/5 — James

*2026-05-06, version 1.2.22*

This game is kind of fun

### 3/5 — Fairly good, but a little annoy/buggy at times

*2026-05-06, version 1.2.22*

I like it so far (finished unlocking the last tier 2 recipes), but there’s some issues here and there.

Annoyances:
While in construction/planning mode, having to delete the machine in order to change the recipe (I like to plan the entire layout in 1 go)
Switching to the function to place a new machine can force the selector for the recipe if the machine has one.

Bugs:
Crafter recipe when placing such will have the last recipe of the last crafter you placed regardless of tier (ie tier 2 recipe will appear for tier 1 crafter)
When watching the 1st assembly line work, items on belts in the 2nd assembly line will eventually begin sliding over, completely removing all income from such until a little after you return it.

### 5/5 — Cool

*2026-05-03, version 1.2.22*

Cool.

### 5/5 — Amazing, but could use some tweaking.

*2026-04-24, version 1.2.22*

Everything about this game is amazing and well made, but there is no implication on how the idle system for generating money works. A simple equation put into the information table could do wonders for min maxing income.

### 4/5 — Good, but a few things are bugging me.

*2026-03-15, version 1.2.22*

Really fun at the start, but then you get to a place where you’re stuck and it’s not fun anymore. I also don’t understand how the electronics are related to the ores, because most of the time factories don’t mine their own resources. Overall, I think the game is ok. But one more big thing. When you press the x2 for your offline earnings, it plays one add over and over for about five times in a row and it ended up taking about 2 minutes to get the reward.

### 3/5 — eh.

*2026-03-06, version 1.2.22*

Assembly Line 2 was fun, until the damn importers drained all my money and i had to start all over (delete the app). still a good game! i had 5 different lines and about 171M$ per day. Please fix the importers, they ruined my life.

### 4/5 — Great but

*2026-03-04, version 1.2.22*

There isn’t enough unique content for you to want to play it for 12 hours at a time. It’s great but there just simply isn’t enough content love the game though

### 4/5 — Great mind puzzle

*2026-03-01, version 1.2.22*

I would have given it a 5 star but I think the editing tool is lacking. saving blueprints? Clicking multiple things to move?

### 5/5 — Could use a better beginning.

*2026-02-20, version 1.2.22*

I do like this game for it simplistic strike at things, but I think it’s beginning could use a bit of it. Better intro or at least better money management, and a nicer more complicated material would be cool.

### 4/5 — I like it

*2026-02-09*

It’s feels incomplete and is having some major bugs like ability to copy advanced importers into early assembly lines, colors not aligning with elements on line, copper wires appearing in aluminium wire line while producing things like heating coil. But I liked it given the store is filled with ad slops and fake gacha leech games.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Could not even figure out how to play

*2026-07-18, version 1.2.22*

I spent 10 minutes trying to figure out how to play the game. If you exit the tutorial early it doesn’t allow you to go back in and there’s no instructions anywhere on how to play the game. Eventually, I found out that I had spent all the allocated money and was unable to buy the right machinery because the game glitched. Ended up just deleting it from my phone.

### 1/5 — Extremely Laggy and Unoptimized

*2025-04-27, version 1.2.13*

After 2 minutes, the game gets extremely laggy and unplayable. You have to kill the app and reopen to be able to continue. Also playing for 10 minutes drains 5% battery and makes your phone hot.

### 1/5 — Plenty of fish in the sea

*2025-02-02, version 1.2.13*

There are more better games in both QUALITY and FUN out there, this one’s obviously rushed

### 1/5 — No landscape mode??

*2024-10-02, version 1.1.20*

Figured I’d love this game as I’m a big fan of Satisfactory but this game can’t be played in landscape. No way I’m playing a game like this in portrait mode on an iPad.

### 1/5 — Very boring

*2024-08-22, version 1.1.20*

There’s no depth to the game. Also the drag-and-drop aspect of the UI is terrible.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste time here

*2024-02-27, version 1.1.14*

I just got this app thinking it’d be fun, but I can’t even get past the tutorial. No money is being outputted, neither is any material. Just stuck on the tutorial. As someone who loves facorio and DSP, this I unfortunate.

### 1/5 — No offline progress

*2023-08-04*

Left the game running overnight with 37k in the bank and 4 batteries in the seller. Guess how much was my offline earnings? ZERO ZILCH NADA. Came back to 37.1k in the bank. You have to fix it. Using it on ipad

### 2/5 — Glitchy ads

*2026-07-08, version 1.2.22*

Game is a lite factorio. Ads are optional but also extremely annoying when you opt in to a 3 minute ad for it to perma get you into the App Store with no way out and no credit.

### 2/5 — Splitters

*2026-05-24, version 1.2.22*

They don’t split evenly so you can’t make cool big things

### 2/5 — Constant crashes

*2025-01-22, version 1.2.13*

The concept is good (I love factory games), but the execution is poor and clunky. I reached a point where the game just instantly crashes as soon as you even try to open it. It has memory leaks so will run slower and slower until it eventually crashes. If the developer could fix those issues to make it actually playable then would change to recommend it, but fir now don’t waste your time with it.

### 5/5 — It’s perfect as is

*2026-08-29, version 1.2.22*

I really enjoy this game, my only real issue is how slow the first part of the game goes, but I understand that’s how it was intended, very addicting, and very fun.

### 5/5 — My save was being weird

*2026-08-20, version 1.2.22*

So last review I said it kept making me lag and locking me out of building mode, but that was because something was being weird and after a deletion and reinstall I’m back in the game, and it’s INSANELY good, I highly recommend you try it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 5/5 — This game is PERFECT!!!

*2026-08-07, version 1.2.22*

This game not only has no forced ads, but it’s extremely fun to play! I recommend!!!!

### 5/5 — Best Mobile Game!!

*2026-08-06, version 1.2.22*

Generally, out of EVERY SINGLE game i have played (on mobile), this is single-handedly the BEST-i really can not think of a way to make this any better, truly the perfect game!

### 5/5 — Assembly Line 2

*2026-07-25, version 1.2.22*

Make a new update, please

### 5/5 — Best game ever

*2026-07-16, version 1.2.22*

I’ve played this game 4 times to completion it’s amazing

### 5/5 — Factory game

*2026-07-14, version 1.2.22*

Factory games are always fun

### 5/5 — End goal?

*2026-06-28, version 1.2.22*

It would be amazing if there was some sort of story and to beat the game you had to manufacture some endgame item being very difficult to make other than that amazing game honestly an 11/10 best mobile game I’ve ever had

### 5/5 — Great Game!

*2026-06-20, version 1.2.22*

This game is actually really fun and requires some thought. The only slightly negative thing about this game is occasional bugs when moving multiple items. Other than this minor issue, Assembly Line 2 is pretty great. Definitely give it a try if you’re into these types of games, or even if you’re not.

### 5/5 — Best factory game I’ve played

*2026-06-20, version 1.2.22*

I have played many games and several factory games this is the only one that I have not deleted and it’s simple and complex at the same time
