Great game

This is one of my favorite games. I’ve played this game for years now there is so much to do and so much to build if you put time into it. There are very little ads and the controls are simple I highly recommend.

Too many pop up advertisements

Always has been a very good game but now it if frustrating for the very reason that there’s too many pop up advertisements. Sad you have allowed it to take hours of fun away from your faithful players!

Disappointed

The game starts fun, but everything needs coins and it is almost impossible to get more coins.
