### 2/5 — The game must be dead I swear

*2026-02-11, version 1.784.11*

I redownloaded the game in October 2025 since I enjoyed it in the past when I had free time. The game had two event within a span of a week of one ending the next started. But since that weekend event ended in mid October there hasn’t been a single even in the game. My version has been up to date the entire time………. This is why I think the game is dead. The last in store update notes was from 5 years ago…… and somehow this game has 5 stars…….. no. This game at its best is a 3/5 game with events.

### 3/5 — Bugged

*2024-06-23, version 1.784.11*

When trying to either auto swap items or double up from time away from using ads it freezes up, was good until this this happened

### 2/5 — Great game

*2021-04-26, version 1.782.27*

But I shouldn’t be forced to watch an ad to progress my quests I actively avoid ads at all costs if I wanna support your game and give you money I’ll buy something from the shop making a quest to watch 3 ads and you can only get rid of it by watching an ad is scummy and disgusting I hope the game creator reads these

### 3/5 — whip noise

*2021-03-07, version 1.782.1*

pretty alright for a time waster but the constant whipping noise really ruins the mood. even plays if you turn sound and music off

### 3/5 — Not a bad game

*2021-02-14, version 1.780.18*

I was playing and all of a sudden some wired noise started happening like someone was smacking something on a table it got really annoying so I have stopped playing for now which is a shame because it’s a decent game

### 3/5 — Updates?

*2021-01-15, version 1.760*

So far so good it’s an interesting idle game but what I want to know if it will updated with content like more lands to set up in more items etc.

### 4/5 — Bon jeu mais

*2020-12-18*

Très bon jeu ca fait maintenant 1 mois que j’y joue. Juste j’enlève une étoile par rapportà l’équilibrage du jeu: il est très difficile de débloquer de nouveaux objets arrivé a un certain moment. On a beaucoup de tables mais aucun objet disponible pour y mettre! Dommage...

### 3/5 — Good but Elvendale Broken

*2020-12-11, version 1.744*

Good game and have been enjoying it. But, anytime I go to Elvendale since renovating it to 3 stars, all the rooms I expanded no longer show up or it flickers to where I have to restart. Other shops work fine.  This has happened since the last update.

### 2/5 — the recent updates ruined my fun

*2020-12-07*

The recent update(s, I think) completely took away my motivation to play this game. 
As usual, once you reach a certain level in these kind of games, progress slows down. But now, with the update, all (or nearly all) of my locations make less, in some cases significantly less money than before. It had already gotten a bit tedious, but now I am not going to invest any more time into this.

### 4/5 — They fixed the bugs now I have another

*2020-12-06, version 1.744*

I’ve played a lot of this game and have enjoyed every minute of it. I have had an issue in the past and they have fixed it causing me to update my review. Now I have come across one bug at dwarfburg where it’s not showing all the expansions that I bought and I can level up the tables

### 1/5 — Does not open

*2020-11-29, version 1.72.0*

This app was working fine but for several days has been stuck on the loading screen, even after multiple reboots. It was fun, but this is unacceptable.

### 1/5 — Do not optimize tables for the event!

*2020-11-29, version 1.72.0*

Game got stuck on the loading screen. Tried every other fix like restarting my phone. There’s no option to backup data to iCloud thus only option was to delete it and reinstall and all the progress I made is now gone. Thanks

Edit:
After doing a 2nd run through I’ve figured out the bug. If you optimize the tables for the event it will cause the game to never load once you open it again. Only choice is to delete it. Don’t waste your time with this game.

### 1/5 — Bloatware: The Video Game

*2023-03-01, version 1.784.11*

Way too much going on, and the tutorial is so busy that locked it locked my UI several times with nothing being tappable, requiring a full restart.

Art and writing seem fun, but the game feels like predatory bloatware. Gross.

### 1/5 — Ad watching simulator…

*2022-08-16, version 1.784.11*

Basically just spam watching ads. The game is designed to require p2w and ads. Garbage game

### 1/5 — Numbers wrong

*2021-11-21, version 1.784.11*

In cart level 1758, I need to pay32ap to upgrade 3.4m to 3.4m…?????

Do you understand how far it is from am to AP? M n O p… seriously??? Why should I pay so much to get so little upgrade….

### 1/5 — Rip off

*2021-03-25, version 1.782.27*

I bought $10 worth of gems and got charged  $45 for it

### 1/5 — Luminosité

*2021-02-15*

Y’a rien de plus frustrant que des devs qui ne joue pas a leurs jeux et là pour pas voir le bug de luminosité fait le faire.

**Developer response:** Hey there, if you have any possible bugs to report, please email us at support@metamoki.com to let us know. Thanks!

### 1/5 — Ignore

*2021-02-10, version 1.780.18*

Another money grabbing gimmick.

### 1/5 — Manque de luminosité

*2021-02-09*

Je ne comprend pas la luminosité est reduite peut etre un bug

**Developer response:** Please report any performance issues or possible bugs you encounter to us at support@metamoki.com, thanks!

### 1/5 — Inescapable ads that freeze

*2021-02-05, version 1.760*

No thanks

### 1/5 — Immediately crashes

*2020-12-21, version 1.746*

Can’t get it to start. What a shame

### 1/5 — Was fun

*2020-12-17, version 1.746*

Another event that has made the entire game unplayable. I don’t understand how they keep screwing this up so badly.

### 5/5 — Kinda Hectic at first

*2021-06-11, version 1.784.11*

This game starts you off running with plenty of neat instructions and tutorial usually I can multi task while watching my anime, even in sub, but not for this one especially starting out. But once you get into it your hooked. Love the art style too

### 5/5 — Macht super viel Spaß, aber brauche hilfe

*2021-03-29*

Das spiel macht mir total viel Spaß, seit 2 tagen spiel ich es ununterbrochen

Heute nacht ist jedoch ein bug aufgetreten, durch den mir ein enormer kontostand (ab -> al) gutgeschrieben wurde.
Nun hat das Spiel quasi keine hürden mehr und ich kann mir nichts erarbeiten 

Ich würde sogern meine ID zurücksetzten, um das spiel wieder genießen zu können und es als Herausforderung zu sehen

### 5/5 — Just started and enjoying it

*2020-12-25, version 1.746*

So far it’s pretty good it’s got a lot of great and funny references has a chill fun vibe. I recommend at least giving it a go

### 5/5 — Great fun game

*2020-12-18, version 1.746*

Great game to duck in and out of. Nice graphics.

### 5/5 — Super Idle

*2020-10-29*

Von dem ganzen Idle Spiel gefällt mir dieses sehr besonders, da man wirklich viele Möglichkeiten hat weiter und auch SCHNELL voran zukommen ! Weiter so :)

**Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for all your love! Please let us know if we can help with anything at support@metamoki.com.

### 5/5 — Neat game but I have an idea

*2020-10-23, version 1.66.1*

The game is really neat and fun to play. I really enjoy the sense of progress one can gain, that being said I have an idea to improve the game. Think of it as a talent tree but instead of a talent it transmogrifies an item into a better variant. For example on the Wooden Sword what if the player can invest gems or elixirs or coins or any combination of the three into one of two sides one being Pristine Wooden Sword and the other being Iron Sword. Iron Sword would take a bit longer to produce but would earn more cash, whereas the Pristine Wooden Sword increases production but also ends up staying the same amount if not slightly lesser.
I really appreciate the time they take to respond to comments and complaints. As for complaints. I have none
