### 4/5 — Decent

*2020-07-21, version 2.0.6*

Games alright. I’d suggest changing the investment parameters maybe? Literally no point in oil

### 4/5 — Good

*2019-10-30, version 2.0.6*

To win forget the oil buy investments

### 2/5 — Get off Facebook

*2019-09-12*

Facebook is not a good thang !!!!! People need to stop using it and get back to The reading their Holy Bibles instead!!!!!!!! There is a lot of good material that will help You make through life and make it to Heaven.

### 2/5 — Fun but quick

*2019-07-07, version 2.0.5*

They fastest way to "beat" the game is with investments, not upgrades. The more you invest the more money you make per second which means the more money you make per second the faster you can upgrade. I now currently make infinity per second and did it with in 20 mins. After that there is no sense in playing anymore.

### 4/5 — This game is amazing

*2019-07-01, version 2.0.5*

I really like playing this game but I find when I get to a serten point you can but everything in the game and then there is no point for the infinity money.could you try to add more stuff to the game and make more values than it just stopping at infinity and then when you but something that is infinity money it just goes to nan which there should be a rest button when you nan because then you can do anything in the game.

### 4/5 — How to beat the game

*2019-06-14*

Fun game and it’s super easy to beat. I beat it in 23 minutes and didn’t use any upgrades. All I did was just keep buying investments. I then watched the 2x video for investments so it would make it go faster and once I got the first 2 to 50 each my money was infinity/ second and my actual money was infinity. I know for a fact if I tried I could beat this game in 10 minutes or less if I buy upgrades but I didn’t so oh well 🤷🏻‍♂️ good game though

### 4/5 — Potential

*2019-04-26, version 2.0*

Love the game gets a bit monotonous tho needs more than just tapping on your iPad or phone love the new layout I just want do do more with interaction could be 5stars

### 1/5 — No good

*2019-04-25, version 1.5.1*

I bought some extra cash next thing I know I’m 5 million in the hole and can’t leave any feedback waste of my money horrible game

### 1/5 — Scam

*2019-04-09, version 1.5.1*

Buttons are strategically placed to make you accidentally click them while playing the game. 

I also paid “$1.25” to remove ads and was charged 12.50 instead of the 1.25.

### 2/5 — Oil price

*2019-02-23*

You start the game with oil being $90 than when you can actually make oil with the auto clicker it is maximum $30. There is no chance to change up the price

### 2/5 — Beat the game before noon

*2019-01-07*

I downloaded this game at 8am played for about 3 hours and I have no available upgrades or anything I have nothing left to do on the game also there are a lot of ads that are just irritating.

### 4/5 — Found a glitch

*2018-12-20*

I used the bottom video upgrade and afterwards every single upgrade I made doubled my $/s and now I’ve maxed everything out....in one day. Great game, just a glitch I found.

### 4/5 — It’s stopped working

*2018-11-24, version 1.5*

The offline collecting is not working so when I’m not playing the game it don’t count my money

### 1/5 — Give us back the old game!

*2018-11-22*

Used to really enjoy the game until the latest update. The fact that the game doesn’t work while you don’t have it open anymore is really lame!

### 1/5 — Dissatisfied

*2018-11-18*

Started playing this and now it won’t give me money when I don’t have game open.  But it’s stuck where I get the boosted money when it’s open.  WTH

### 4/5 — Yay

*2018-11-11, version 1.5*

Good game

### 3/5 — Good game and set up but...

*2018-08-04, version 1.4.2*

This is a very good game do not get me wrong it has a great set up and graphics but there should be a way of watching a add for 2x and maybe for some prices to be lowered or atleast a auto tap if u keep your finger down.

Please keep in mind I never write reviews but see good potential in this game.

### 1/5 — Knockoff

*2022-08-26, version 2.0.6*

This is a bad copy of the game turmoil .

### 1/5 — Could have been good

*2021-02-15, version 2.0.6*

I love idle & tap tycoon games.  This looked like my kind of thing. It kept me interested as I tapped away buying upgrades to increase my production. All way going well and game crash exits the game. Normally no problem and relaunch the game. The game is no longer applying all the bonus and upgrades I purchased, sure they Reengage when I buy another one, but only that category. And this happens repeatedly. 
This so could have been my thing, but sloppy coding and game breaking bugs render it unplayable.

### 1/5 — Not worth playing.

*2020-02-10*

Kind of a boring game. Can only use your boosts ONCE. One and done. Can’t ever use them again. I’ve been waiting over 6 months for it to be fixed and I’m still waiting. Plus, good prices get nowhere bear where they used to, they hardly even ever come out of the red. You end up having to settle for the highest red selling price. The only good thing is the “side jobs”. They seem to make way more money than selling oil. They should call this “side job tycoon idle” instead.

### 1/5 — Math does not add up. Waste of time

*2019-10-24, version 2.0.6*

Math does not add up. Waste of time

### 1/5 — Cant play

*2019-07-31, version 2.0.6*

I can’t play because it does not let me continue the dialogue

### 1/5 — Update erased my entire progress. BYE!

*2019-07-19, version 2.0.6*

What a poorly written game. Graphics bad. Gameplay nonexistent. Clearly designed by a high schooler.

### 1/5 — Negative oil

*2019-06-28, version 2.0.5*

Was enjoying the game until now, I earn negative barrels of oil while I’m offline and can’t click to earn anymore to get out of the hole I’m in

### 1/5 — Ehh
