I still play it occasionally but it will take a year to get any antimatter. There isn’t much to do in the game while you wait for resources shuffled around. ### 3/5 — Stuck at level 26 *2024-04-07, version 1.18.1* Emailed support quite some time ago, nothing. Been stuck at level 26 forever with nothing left to do in the game and yet the one building says it needs to be level 33. Somewhat disappointing. ### 4/5 — Update needed *2024-03-11, version 1.17.24* Long game, it takes lots of time to upgrade things. When will the next update come… I finished up to level 26 but can’t go further ### 4/5 — Good, but… *2024-01-10, version 1.17.21* Will this game still be receiving updates? ### 3/5 — Nice but…. *2023-12-03, version 1.17.21* I really like the setting and the progress Flow until,… you hit 19 and you want to further progress. Problem is when you need only 75 more XP points to lvl 20 there are no more ways to make XP until you have access to the next area, you need the resources from the area to make any XP…. So no way to go to the last? Level of 20 ### 3/5 — Traducció al català *2023-10-02, version 1.17.21* Es un joc entretingut que esdevé repetitiu i no te cap actualització ni esdeveniments. No està disponible en català tot i que per a jugar no cal cap llengua ja que va tot per icones ### 3/5 — 日本語対応したけど *2023-06-07, version 1.17.6* まあまあ面白く結構長期間遊んだ。 難点は、あまり縮尺を大きくできず、広い範囲を眺められないこと。あと、バッテリーの消耗が早く、かなり端末が熱くなる。 ### 4/5 — Поправьте дороги *2023-04-19, version 1.17.6* Непонятен механизм построения диагональных дорог. Через раз получается провести диагональ ### 2/5 — доделать *2022-12-28, version 1.17.2* играть исключительно в реальном времени?.. за такое решение 2, исправите скачаю заново ### 4/5 — Good game *2022-11-22, version 1.17.2* Good game to pass the time can just be abit to long to do stuff sometimes but other than that top quality tycoon game ### 4/5 — Надо немного допилить *2022-11-21, version 1.17.2* В целом игра хорошая, но на планшете открывается криво меню с маршрутами, обрезает часть, не видно кто куда едет. Нельзя уменьшить ландшафт ### 4/5 — Is that it? *2022-10-12, version 1.16.5* I think I am almost at the end of the game, my garage is about to level up for the last time, however the research station says it unlocks the next level at 33. I am only level 26, but don’t see anything else to build or upgrade. Am I missing something? ### 2/5 — Good drawing but boring gaming *2022-08-26, version 1.16.5* It's hard to defining as a game ### 4/5 — Fun but… *2022-04-30, version 1.16.4* the game is fun but i'm stuck. I'm at 475/550 at level 19 and can't reach level 20 because all positions require resources that only unlock with level 20 (clouds 11). how to continue? ### 2/5 — Doesn't work *2022-04-29, version 1.16.4* I open the app and close it by itself instantly I reinstalled but it didn't hep ### 4/5 — Good idle game *2022-04-26, version 1.16.4* I like the game. It’s one you could you in and set up then go back to it later and the day and adjust your car deliveries. I wish I could zoom out of the map more. The building are somewhat spaced to the point you can’t see the “big” picture because the map doesn’t zoom out much. ### 3/5 — Meh could be great *2022-04-15, version 1.16.3* After selecting a new vehicle, it never shows up in my lineup. Also a bit glitchy, screen seizes up and becomes unresponsive in app. ### 3/5 — Premium content issues *2022-04-10, version 1.16.2* Tried to purchase some premium vehicles, payment would go through but the game would then freeze, and crash. Upon reopening the game the premium vehicles are not in my arsenal. Otherwise its a good game to pass the time. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bloquer nv 19 *2024-04-06, version 1.17.24* Injouable pffff ### 1/5 — Game blocked on the loading screen *2023-07-27, version 1.17.6* Seems like a recurrent problem. Probably something about state of the game when closed. I played a few minutes then can’t restart the game even after 5 minutes of waiting. Would love to play it again tho ### 1/5 — Pay to continue model *2022-06-16, version 1.16.5* Interesting alternative to watching clouds and fish. Repetitive but entertaining as distractor. You will reach a point where you need to pay to continue. Sad that this is the model. Had my fun and will leave. ### 1/5 — Не работает *2022-06-04, version 1.16.5* Работает у кого игра ? ### 1/5 — Nein *2022-04-07, version 1.16.2* Mehrfach Käufe nicht erhalten, jedes Mal musste ich Kontakt zum Support aufnehmen. Funktioniert im offline Modus nur manchmal. ### 1/5 — Rabbish *2022-03-28, version 1.16.1* mandatory update, and after that? Crash out! Can’t get the meaning of your moron updating, and if it’s not suitable for lower iphone just say it ### 1/5 — Не рекомендую *2022-03-23, version 1.16.1* При работе в фоновом режиме, грузы перестали доставляться. Вы серьезно? Смотреть на машинке по несколько часов???(( Отстой. ### 1/5 — Letztes Update fehlerhaft *2022-03-22, version 1.16.0* Ich brauche jetzt - um im Labor Produkte herzustellen - Antimaterie. Habe aber keine Quelle um diese zu bekommen. Um weitere Gebäude freizuschalten brauche ich die Forschungsstation auf Ein höheres Level, das aber erst ab Level 20 freigeschaltet wird. Was ich wiederum nur freischalten kann wenn ich Gebäude ausbaue. Hier bin ich aber am Maximum angelangt, so das es nicht weiter geht. Sehr schade ### 1/5 — Great game but *2022-02-28, version 1.15.4* I freaking lost my progress in the game how can I fix this ### 1/5 — Wow *2021-12-23, version 1.15.1* How is this legal? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great so far *2024-07-29, version 1.18.1* I really love this game, but I have completed everything and upgraded all of my vehicles to five stars and there’s really nothing else to do because I can’t open up the new area until I’m level 33 but there’s no way to gain any more points to become level 33 ### 5/5 — Нечем заняться *2024-04-28, version 1.18.1* Прокачала все здания, что дальше? Уровень 27, а для радара нужен 33. Нечем набирать опыт🤷‍♂️ ### 5/5 — Thanks devs for such game! *2023-06-03, version 1.17.6* Love it! When I started it, i just wanted to build everything asap and was waiting for it to end but now as I approach building everything… I dont want it to end ### 5/5 — Trop compliqué *2023-03-24, version 1.17.6* Le jeu de gestion est très sympa et marche plutôt bien, mais a partir du niveau 22 et des « câbles » les missions sont si compliquées que chaque amélioration de bâtiments dure 1 semaine; autant dire que c’est tellement long que ça ne devient plus du tout intéressant. ### 5/5 — Хорошая игра *2022-09-01, version 1.16.5* 5 звёзд , не смотря на то что все задания выполнил и упёрся в развитии !!! Далее только донат или это баг . Локатор висит на 20 уровне , прогресс профиля 19 уровень . Новая карта не открывается , материалы для производства заблокированы . Только покупать . Хотя думал что всю игру пойду ) ### 5/5 — 要望 *2022-06-04, version 1.16.5* 言語に日本語を対応してください ### 5/5 — Good game *2022-04-16, version 1.16.4* Was a really good game and have been playing it a while until now. Nothing is being delivered when I stopped playing and the updates haven’t changed this hope it is fixed. ### 5/5 — Great game *2022-04-02, version 1.16.2* Played for a whilenow sometimes have to wait ages for delivery’s to complete But I try to set these going overnight or before I know I’m out for a while Tried twice to buy a extra truck, both didn’t work but I got a refund and I’ll cope without them, but it would of been nice to have them ### 5/5 — Все нравится *2022-03-28, version 1.16.1* Рекламы нет, донат не требуется, всем советую) ### 5/5 — Очень качественная игра *2022-01-17, version 1.15.4* Приятно планировать производственные цепочки, ненавязчивый донат (для игры вообще не нужен), никакой надоедливой рекламы. Игра которая приносит удовольствие. Спасибо большое разработчикам, не ожидал увидеть такое в современном мобильном геймдеве --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
