Definitely not a great game!

I’ve been playing for 3 days, and I’ve realized that if you want to be even a slight bit of decency you have to pay money! This is super stupid, because most people like to win for fun, but with this game it doesn’t work because people pay money to beat you! Like one of the packs gives you instant 10B money IN A GAME for $50 in real money! It’s such a scam! But there are a few good things about the game……. Like you earn money quickly by keeping your finger on the screen, but you can also buy auto clicking permanent for $7! It’s also a scam! This game is so bad I can’t even finish talking about something good without saying something bad about it!

I only have one complaint

My only complaint is that the game doesn’t let you accumulate money when logged out of the game.
