Cumpri várias tarefas já e não recebi as devidas recompensas. ### 3/5 — Needs updated *2023-05-15* Like the game, takes forever to earn money. Facebook log in doesn’t work. Please update and fix!!! ### 2/5 — Pathways *2021-12-22, version 1.5.2* I want to know if this game gets pathways at some point or if you have any other single island game that does ### 3/5 — I know it’s an old game but fix it please *2021-08-29, version 1.5.2* I know this is an older game — I played it when it first came out and revisited. It was still fun, if slow, until recently. Every time I build something with gold and I’m supposed to get some gold back the message pops up asking if I want to win free gold, then I don’t get anything no matter which option I choose. Same thing when I watch one of the videos to win a gold bar. As soon as I click on the video icon it launches the video and the message asking if I want free gold. Video ends, the message stays, and I get nothing. I think I’ve lost 12+ gold bars either way. I spent some cash this time, buying game cash and gold to support the game, so it would be nice if you would fix this glitch. Otherwise, pull the game so we don’t waste our money and time. Thanks ### 3/5 — This game just trash *2021-03-16, version 1.5.2* When I level up I don’t get rewards when I do my tasks for rewards I don’t get them it’s almost impossible to get gold in game pls make update or something cause it literally glitched. ### 3/5 — Tolles Spiel aber.... *2020-11-13* Das Spiel macht echt mega Spaß und ist echt toll auf gebaut, das einzige was ich echt Bild und Enttäuschend finde ist, dass man nicht mehr so oft die kurz Videos sehen kann für ein Gold. Das war in der Alten Version öfters. Das ist hier auch der Grund warum ich die App wieder löschen werde, weil ohne gold kommt man leider nicht weit in dem Spiel u d Gold kaufen möchte ich nicht. Es ist auch schade das in der neuen Version nicht rechts in der Leiste das auf Rüsten Symbol mehr ist. Das war in der älteren Version und war gut. Also kurz und knapp: die ältere Version mit mehr Gold Videos und dem allgemeinen aufrüsten Symbol fand ich viel besser als die jetztigw Version mit viel zu viel Werbung für kein Gold! ### 2/5 — Gold *2020-08-18* This game would be a very good game if there was so many items based off of gold. Like after you buy a certain amount of something it makes it where you can’t buy it because it turns from getting it with cash to getting it with gold, it gets quite annoying. If they could fix this problem the game would be so much better ### 4/5 — Bon jeu *2020-08-17* Super mais pas assez de place ### 5/5 — Mostly accessible *2019-10-01* This game is fun, and mostly accessible. It could use some more work to get it to be even more accessible. It also needs to be updated. ### 4/5 — Manageable but Not Quite Accessible *2019-09-15* I’ve just started yesterday and I’m still learning the game, so it’s incredibly frustrating when I can’t understand something because Voiceover won’t read all the information. Love the idea of the game, and the fact that it is even slightly accessible, but improving the accessibility would make me love it even more. In turn, I would be happy to give this app five stars. I just want to be able to enjoy it as much as everyone else. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — What *2026-06-17* I tried download this today not even 5 minutes in and have pop up ads yall need to delete this app now ### 1/5 — Наебывают *2021-07-03* В игре не за все награды дают вознаграждение !!!!

Jogo top! Pq não muda um pouco os tempos das empresa? 3h pra gerar uma grana! A última atualização foi a 3 ou 4 anos atrás!!! ### 5/5 — Great game but could do with some other things as well *2020-08-17, version 1.5.2* What a great and fun game this is and it’s so awesome and enjoyable that I would recommend it to anyone who likes these types of games, I would like to see people walk around the street as well as travel as well like you could build a train station and have a train go round your city or the same thing with an airport and have planes occasionally flying around as well as helicopters as well like if you have a building that has a helipad on it then allow the helicopter to land and take off occasionally. Overall a great game but just needs to add more buildings or animations to the game to keep the game looking fresh. ### 5/5 — Amazing at first sight *2020-03-15, version 1.5.2* I thought this would be like 5 minutes of entertainment but no like 500000000000990000 hours Get itttttttttit --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
