Amazing Game!

Gotta say, with the way mobile games are today with ad requirements and PTW set ups, this game is such a huge breath of fresh air! The fact you can unlock EVERYTHING without having to spend money or countless hours watching ads is so refreshing. I do want to leave a little recommendation for a possible feature! When you get to a point where your regions develop large amounts of sand when offline, a switch or something to make the excess sand turn into vials would be amazing! I understand the balancing would be difficult because that removes a bit of the interaction, but maybe it could make vials at a 50%-75% reduced efficiency? That way you don’t feel like you’ve missed out on tons of resources when you login to a region and see that you’ve generated 100mil+ sand but lost 36mil of it.

Anyways, just an idea. I am in love with this game!

Not Fully Developed

It's got a good look to it but there are so few options that it got boring quickly. There is talk of future development but it seems like this game should be farther along than it is for a very basic idler. Recommend looking elsewhere.

New update

Hi there, I’ve been enjoying playing your game but with the most recent update some of the features I can find how to access. I can’t find where to upgrade the abilities using arcanite. I can’t read the abilities with the top left but can’t upgrade

Progress lost twice.

I log into my Apple account to save progress, twice now it has logged me out, and when I signed back in all my progress was gone.

No other games have done this to me. Talk about disappointing, I have no interest in getting back to where I was AGAIN.

Fun, but slows down drastically

Overall, I really enjoyed this game. I have played a lot of idle games, and I did greatly enjoy what I got out of this one. The two currencies, sand and money, which are used to upgrade and unlock other items, is fairly unique. I enjoy how much being active pays off compared to a lot of other idle games, while being idle also provides lots of sand once you progress to a certain point. However, I found that after only a few thousand product upgrades, things seem to be slowing down drastically. While I have everything maxed out for additional upgrades, from prestige to prestige the prestige currency is hardly keeping up with what I need to get much out of each prestige. In addition, the other two worlds progress are also incredibly slow at first and have been a bit hard to pick up and play. Overall, I have really enjoyed this game, but it seems like I’ve hit a bit of a wall. I’ll keep playing for a bit, and if that wall is surmounted I will update my review.

Broken app

Downloaded, waited 10 minutes with the screen just loading with a “tuning transmission frequencies” message, uninstalled.

Updates bricked my progress

Thanks for pushing sweeping updates to the calculation tables- your new maths bricked my progress and I can’t hit the same prestige markers I was hitting previously by a long shot. Greedy dev just wants people to pay for more progress speed I guess.

Soundtrack Slaps

The gameplay isn’t bad, but not ground breaking. I like that exporting gives you a profit multiplier.

But the music.. dang dude. That is SO well done. It’s just like one long track with how all the movements seamlessly come together. A+ Music
B+ Gameplay
B Graphics/Art Style

Terrible

This game wastes more time than adding a second coat of paint.

Sick Update

broke the game with rebalancing, alot of currency wasted and a complete standstill in progress

Game was great until the new patch ruined months of progress

The newest update that added 10 more levels and revamped upgrades was fantastic and made progression a lot more streamlined but the new patch that reset sand capacity and spawn rate ruined any semblance of progression I once had. Every time I reset I barely get any more upgrade currency and it’s stalemated my progress to a point where I don’t think I can recover my current game that I’ve worked on for 3 months now. The game is probably fantastic now for new players but I feel completely stuck at my current rates now and even 5-day fast forwards don’t do anything to boost my rates or currency amounts.

Response from developer

Hello and thanks for the review. 1.3.1 was our bad. The issue you had was the result of a bug that is now fixed. And progress should feel faster again. If you have any other feedback feel free to let us know and we’re sorry for the inconvenience!

Very slow

I love idle games don’t get me wrong but there is no sense of progression I’ve been playing for a couple days and am level 9 and I don’t feel any different from when I started. Solid game to start with but this one is super slow and lacking features atm

Super solid

Very chill game with a really beautiful esthetic. The system them have is excellent and i like everythibg they are doing. They seems to be good devs with a well thought out plan of attack and i beleiev they will make this a really interesting game in the future with more mechanics in future updates. Its pretty bare bones rn but its enjoyable

Game broken?

Started and everything is locked, completely locked and then the screen is just question marks? The in game tutorial tells you to follow the glowing buttons essentially and uh my glowing buttons didn’t work I guess

Response from developer

Hello! We’re so sorry for the inconvenience. We’d love to know more about the issue you were having. At the start of the game the top right details button should be glowing. We’d love to know what you were seeing so we can fix the issue. If you wouldn’t mind could you provide more info on our bug tracker? https://taptideinteractive.com/bug_report. Thanks!

AI art

has ai art developer’s must hate humans

Good game 🤝

on track to have carpel tunnel in both hands soon (from tapping) . great game.

Waste of time

The peak of what I mean is the new daily login. You need to log in every day for a week to get .5% better rewards. Just play something that actually rewards you time spent.

Response from developer

Hello! Thanks for the review. We will try to make to tooltip clearer but the multiplier boost increases the bonus by an additional 50% so you should get 1.5x after the first week 2x then 2.5x and so on. We are team of two so it can be difficult to make sure everything is as clear as we would like but we’re constantly working on the app so If you have additional feedback please let us know at taptideinteractive.com/feedback

Its aight

Its basically adventure capitalist but with some unique twists.

Class

Good game 👍🏻

Can’t stop

It’s hard to grasp at first but I love it, please update
