### 1/5 — Too many Ads!!

*2026-07-12, version 3.4.0*

Can’t play more than a minute without forced ads

### 1/5 — ADS

*2026-05-05, version 3.4.0*

It’s literally just an ad farm. Every 2 clicks there’s an add, everything you can do and all pop ups is more ads. It’s HORRIBLE

### 1/5 — SO. MANY. ADS.

*2026-04-12, version 3.4.0*

Ad frequency makes the game absolutely impossible to play. Expect an ad to play every time you press a button. What a joke.

### 2/5 — Advertisements

*2024-12-27, version 3.3.6*

Fun game, but way to many pop up ads

### 3/5 — This game

*2024-11-26, version 3.3.5*

Too! many! ads!

### 1/5 — Remove Ads doesn’t work??

*2024-09-08, version 3.3.3*

Paid a huge £9.99 to remove ads (that pop up literally every 20 seconds at least) and i was still receiving them after i paid to remove them???

### 2/5 — Not great, Bob

*2024-08-21, version 3.3.3*

This is barely a game, there’s absolutely no room for creativity in the vein of other tycoon games, you’re just clicking to level up. Every three seconds you’ve got to watch an ad. Pretty terrible but good if you like clicking.

### 1/5 — Annoying

*2024-05-14, version 3.3.3*

Advertisements shoved down your throat every 5 seconds. The game is just ad bait

### 1/5 — Don’t Bother

*2024-03-28, version 3.3.3*

Three involuntary full screen adverts within minutes of starting the game and another ad banner constantly across the bottom of the screen, instant uninstall. It won’t let me give it zero stars.

### 1/5 — Advertise too many and annoying

*2024-02-13, version 3.2.7*

Bad
