### 5/5 — 廣告無敵

*2024-09-22, version 1.5*

我廣告看到絕了

### 2/5 — Ads are overwhelming

*2021-02-22*

There are just too many ads. Gameplay is enjoyable enough underneath to be a solid experience if not for the ads. There are just WAY too many. I don’t mind supporting free apps with some ad watching but not when I am watching more ads than I am playing the actual game. More people would play longer and devs would increase revenue if they weren’t so blatantly greedy about forcing an ad every 10 seconds. I wish devs would focus on creating a great game and let the revenue follow rather than trying to screw people and make a cash grab on games destined to fail do to greed.

### 3/5 — 更新後

*2020-12-22, version 1.5*

更新後為何金錢都不會動

### 5/5 — Enjoyable game

*2020-11-05*

It is an idle game, and a good one at that. It meets every requirement necessary for entertainment. If I had trusted any negative reviews, I wouldn’t have discovered for myself what a fun time could be had.
