### 3/5 — Annoying pop ups

*2026-07-14*

Even after paying to remove adds, the pop-ups for “Light Offers” or gold characters pop up way too often and gets in the way.

### 3/5 — 환불

*2026-07-06*

광고 없애는 아이템을 샀는데 계속 두배이벤트 받겠냐는 광고가 뜨네요 그냥 환불해주세요

### 3/5 — Trop de pub !!

*2026-06-23*

Trop de pub !!

### 1/5 — レベルデザインが悪い

*2026-06-19*

強化しても鼻くそくらいしか強化されない。ステージクリアしても全然明るくなくて達成感が無い。放置してれば勝手に広告が出る。時間の無駄。

### 1/5 — Forced ad in first 3 min

*2026-06-13, version 4.3.7*

No countdown or anything. Entire screen ad out of nowhere with less than 3 min of gameplay.

### 1/5 — Too many ads for what it is

*2026-06-13*

I don't mind dealing with ads for a fun worth while game but honestly.... This is just tapping to make people walk faster to put down lights. I still wanted to see what it would be like when you filled all of the slots though. Unfortunately that meant ad after ad after ad with 2 hour offline progress. Playing is more like a punishment when every 30 seconds to a minute you have a new ad that's forcing a full stop including your income! 10/10 not worth playing. June 12, 2026

### 2/5 — Care to count how many ads in the first 5 minutes???

*2026-06-11*

I love a chill clicker game as much as the next person… but LESS than 5 minutes in, I was bombarded with at least seven ads, including “get free game money/free clicker/etc” to watch ads. I understand most games are going to have ads and many have them after each level. It’s annoying, but this took the cake. I shouldn’t be dreading buying the next upgrade because there will inevitably be an ad after. Especially just a couple minutes in to gameplay. I can’t do this game and will be uninstalling it.

### 2/5 — It’s ok

*2026-06-11, version 4.3.7*

Be prepared for a forced add every thirty seconds unless you spend money to turn them off. Problem is the game isn’t work the price to turn the ads off.

### 1/5 — Pub

*2026-06-10*

Trop de pub c’est injouable

### 2/5 — Bought the No Ads... Still getting Ads

*2026-06-06, version 4.3.7*

I like the premise. Cant stand the ads. The purchase options are not explained well enough and/or coded well enough.

### 1/5 — Скучно

*2026-06-04*

Скучно, нудно, бесячая реклама

### 1/5 — Ads

*2026-06-03*

Man kann es nicht wirklich spielen nur ads

### 1/5 — RIP OFF!!! DO NOT GIVE MONEY ITS A SCAM!!!!!

*2026-05-28*

Payed the $9.99 for no ads and some in game money and perks. Well all I got was the no ads. I restarted the game over and over. I restored my purchases and well nothing. This is the second game that this sort of thing has happened Apple needs to do something about this! These people are CROOKS!!!

### 1/5 — Too many adds

*2026-05-17, version 4.3.7*

Plays an add every 30 seconds. Can’t really enjoy the actually game.

### 1/5 — Frustrating Experience – Ads Every Minute- Unplayable Due to Excessive Ads

*2026-05-03, version 4.3.7*

I do not recommend this game — it’s really bad.

There is way too much advertising; practically every minute there’s an ad.

Upgrades and items cost way too much money.

The earnings from each illuminated pedestrian or vehicle are minimal compared to the upgrade costs.

Again, way too many ads.

### 1/5 — Je déconseille fortement !!!!

*2026-08-10*

Tellement il y a de pub on ne peux pas jouer gratuitement injouable n’installez pas cette application

### 1/5 — Horrible ads

*2026-08-07*

Ads everywhere, got about 5 in 5 minutes of starting the game. As a game developer myself for PC this is a horrible business model and an easy way to ruin your reputation fast. Definitely will not trust this developer again.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-07-19*

paid 29.99 for in game money and days later still got no 
money

### 1/5 — Too many ads & lost progress

*2026-07-13*

As others have said, there is way too many ads. One every minute and they’re 15-30 seconds long. On top of that, if you close the game while an ad timer is going your entire progress resets. Fun concept, terrible money hungry execution

### 1/5 — 広告ゴミ仕様

*2026-07-13*

アイテム強化に広告なら分かるが、1分2分経ったら強制的に広告見せられる
それに「広告見て強化どうですか?」って案内が画面いっぱいに表示されるの腹立つ
いくら無料でもこれはゲームとして成り立ちません
こざかしい金の取り方するより1000円2000円くらいで買切りにした方がまだ良心的
その中でちょろっと画面端に広告で強化の欄設ける方がアプリとしてのあり方でしょう？
せっかくのいいゲームなのに勿体無い

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2026-07-10*

Not enjoyable when every 5 minutes, an ad pops up.

### 1/5 — Poor excuse to serve ads

*2026-07-06*

Don’t bother with this one. The core gameplay is minimal their “no ads” purchase is just a “no mandatory ads” purchase even though they never specify it. They still try and force you to watch ads through repeated pop-ups, too. Shameless, embarrassing cash grab of a game.

### 1/5 — terrible game

*2026-06-30, version 4.3.7*

terrible game so many ads do not download this

### 1/5 — Реклама

*2026-06-24*

Миллион рекламы, нервы сдадут быстрее чем вы хоть что то там пройдете

### 1/5 — All adds

*2026-06-20*

It’s an add platform with the occasional 30seconds of game thrown in

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Tiny little error

*2026-05-21*

I’m in the Western level of the game and I can’t get the tasks to load. I love the game otherwise.

### 5/5 — Like the game

*2026-01-18*

Like the concept of the game takes a while to get an income going but that’s strategy for you the remove ads only removes forced ads :(

### 5/5 — Lowkey addicted

*2025-11-27, version 4.3.0*

At first it’s boring but trust it’s fun

### 5/5 — ありがとう

*2025-11-26*

だいすき

### 5/5 — 5 Stars

*2025-08-19, version 4.1.2*

Fun game!

### 4/5 — Spiel zum Zeitvertreib - Noch wenig Level

*2026-07-21*

Das Spiel ist schnell zu verstehen und macht Spaß wenn man die Zeit vertreiben will oder neben bei beim TV spielen will. Es gibt derzeit noch wenig Level was hoffentlich bald erweitert wird. Es wäre auch gut wenn man die vorherigen Level weiter spielen kann oder nochmal neu starten.

### 4/5 — 楽しいけど…

*2026-07-21*

ガチの放置ゲーかな。
ただライトが最大で128が限界なのにも関わらず全部のマス(できる限り)に置いても暗い所があってめっちゃモヤモヤするかな〜
後、街灯の金額がM超えても街灯のレベルがずっと2だからだいぶ厳しいと感じました！
広告も多めだから、このゲームをやると言うよりは作業の合間に付けといてお金貯めるのがいいかな〜(アプリ閉じてたらお金たまりません。)
個人的には面白いけど、
少しもったいないきがする。
でもゲーム性はすげぇ面白くて好き！少し操作性も悪い気もするけどまぁそれは慣れかなぁ

### 4/5 — Going to a new city

*2026-06-27, version 4.3.7*

It’s a relaxing game but it suck’s that you can’t go back to the previous city to finish it and can only view it

### 4/5 — New updates?

*2026-05-24*

Been waiting for new maps for many months now. Still no updates. Besides the adds it’s not a bad game. There’s always airplane mode

### 4/5 — Super slow play.

*2026-03-18*

It’s fun in the beginning but then it gets boring. 

Costs too much to upgrade after a few lights. 

Takes too long my attention doesn’t keep for games this slow.
