It's a fun game and really satisfying, but there's one glitch. When I tried to turn off the vibration it didn't work and just kept vibrating. That's the only reason I deleted it. Please try to fix this

Way too many ads

### 4/5 — Woodturning

Great

### 1/5 — Ads killed a game I would have been willing to pay for.

*2025-11-26*

I would love to rate this way higher since it’s a lot better quality than the version of this game I usually play but the ads are out of control. I even looked for a paid option to get rid of the ads and couldn’t. It makes the game literally unplayable. It’s a shame to drive away players from a well made game by destroying it with endless ads every time you click on anything.

### 4/5 — Good but bad

*2025-11-07, version 14*

### 1/5 — Way too many ads

*2025-10-24, version 14*

Far too many ads. The further you level up the more ads they put in. Switch tool… ad. Change paint colour… ad…. Ad every 30 seconds

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2025-10-09, version 14*

Constant ads
