### 3/5 — Same as others

*2026-07-06*

Game is ok. Same as all others this type. The skin fit into something i like but why 8$ to remove forced ads when others don’t have forced ads? Not special or different enough to pay especially when you still get hit with optional ads frequently.

### 3/5 — Somewhat decent

*2026-06-29, version 1.8.2*

Overall, I’d say this game is a bit better than some of the others with the same format.

My main gripe is that they have forced ads in addition to a lot of reward ads, but they do allow offline play, which I appreciate.

I like that some higher quality items require the lower quality ones to make them, it’s a cool mechanic, and executed well.

I like that there aren’t really many ingame alerts.

Some aspects of the game are pretty janky, mainly the mini game stuff, but it’s ignorable enough.

### 2/5 — The ads have ads

*2026-06-18*

It runs very frequent pop up ads and it runs them back to back. Yes…two ads in a row because running one ad every 30 seconds isn’t enough I guess. It’s a great idea but unplayable because of the lengthy interruptions

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for your feedback. Interstitial ads appear no more than once every 5 minutes of active play, and watching rewarded ads resets this timer. Ads help us support the studio and keep developing the game. We appreciate you giving the game a try and hope you'll enjoy future updates!

### 3/5 — Ads do not exit

*2026-02-12*

Watching ads, specifically the ones for facebook, Google, instagram, and WhatsApp, run and then once done it cannot be existed unless the entire app is forced closed.

### 4/5 — Fun game - possible glitch

*2026-02-04*

This has been a great idle game I’ve been playing for a while. It’s been a game I’ve been able to play without getting bored quickly. My only con is that I paid for the “No Ads” but I’m still receiving ads. I tried restoring purchase and it doesn’t work. Did I misunderstand what it meant when I paid for no ads?

**Developer response:** Hello! Thank you so much for such a great review and we are really happy that you enjoy playing our game. Regarding the No Ads offer it only disables forced ads that appear automatically every 5 minutes while ads for rewards remain optional. If you are still seeing forced ads after the purchase please contact us at game.support@hypercell.games. Also we have an update coming in 2-3 days with leaderboard and new equipment so make sure to check it out!

### 3/5 — Fun, with a few caveats

*2025-11-10*

This is a fun game, and has a unique twist compared to other similar games. I can definitely see this becoming a popular game. My one complaint is that there are random pop-up advertisements that happen, even if you already watch ads for the income boost and extra money/gems. I think the additional popup ads are unnecessary and very annoying— enough that it may even cause me to uninstall a game that I otherwise quite enjoy. At the very least, make the no ads offer much cheaper. In the future I’d love to see the addition of pets and maybe even a couple more equipment slots.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the thoughtful feedback! We're really glad you're enjoying the game’s unique twist! 😊 We hear you on the pop-up ads, and we will consider how to make the experience smoother. Love your ideas about pets and extra equipment slots too! If you’d like to share more, we’re always listening at game.support@hypercell.games 💛

### 1/5 — Edit:ad pass is a scam

*2025-10-26, version 1.6*

Bought the ad pass, it does not remove any ads whatsoever.

### 3/5 — Bugs & Wishlist

*2025-10-15*

- On Level 50, I am stuck on the “Kill the Boss” objective. The boss was already killed before the objective was unlocked.
- Goblins get stuck trying to walk around the center consoles for a few of the levels
- The wrong item names are used after the Werewolf potion area (still showing Werewolf potion in the next world)

Wishlist
- I’d love a diamond upgrade to reduce the preferred item cooldown
- I’d love a diamond upgrade to increase customer walking speed
- For the events, when completed, I’d like to be able to mark it complete and stop the timer, and be able to start a new event. Currently, you just get stuck on “Go to the next forge” but can’t, because the button is gone.

### 2/5 — Bug

*2025-10-01*

On Level 50, I am stuck on “Kill the Boss”. The boss was already killed before the objective was unlocked, and now I cannot complete the Level.

### 3/5 — Decent, But Buggy

*2025-07-02*

I had fun until the magician level when the goblins started holding still when they finish something at one of the stations (werewolf potions and magician orbs). Even when I log out and back in, they wouldn’t sell the items or use them to make something else. It’s an okay game.

**Developer response:** Hi! Thanks a lot for sharing this issue with us — we’ve fixed it! You can update the game now and the error should be gone.

### 4/5 — Bugs

*2025-05-13, version 1.1*

Nivel de las pociones de lobo, los lobos no atacan ni hacen nada y cuando pasa de pantalla se pasa conmigo el oro que e acabado del mapa anterior, y el 3 mapa de las pociones los npc funcionan durante 1 minutos y luego se paran todos sin entregar las cosas y no se puede avanzar

### 3/5 — Review

*2025-05-12, version 1.1*

Very good for the first few stages yet at many bugs appear in later stages. The most concerning being that in the magic level the people who you sell werewolf potions to dont attack enemies and sometimes in the magic levels the workstations dont work and your goblins are stuck standing there. These make it nearly impossible to continue in the game.

### 3/5 — Fun and glitchy

*2025-05-11*

When you reach the spooky area your goblins will get stuck and can’t craft. You’ll have only one goblin working with all the others just standing there doing nothing. Also, I just crafted my first Ultimate and it totally glitched. It took all of the materials and gave me nothing in return.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your feedback and for reporting these bugs! We’re a very small studio, and detailed feedback like yours really helps us a lot. In the next update, we’ll fix these issues and also add new levels — Aztec and Steampunk themes.

As for the Ultimate item, try restarting the game — it might appear after you reload.

### 1/5 — Ad free lies

*2026-07-28*

Paid for ad free…. Still getting tonnes of ads. Not a cheap purchase but I was enjoying the game so I decided to do it in support. Doesn’t work! Not sure how to raise it so 1 star for now

### 1/5 — All my data was deleted

*2026-07-27*

The game did not save my data. All my gears and progress disappeared after reinstalling the game!

### 1/5 — Eatventer nock off

*2026-07-08*

If dere was a 0 rating I would press it

### 1/5 — Не фонтан мягко говоря

*2026-07-01*

Беспонтовая игра. Даже когда ты включаешь просмотр рекламы, он регулярно включается сам. При этом ни каких даже минимальных бонусов за это не дают. Удаляю

### 1/5 — Forced ads

*2026-02-21*

You have about a minute of gameplay. It’s the same as about 1000 other games out there, just another clone.

### 1/5 — Реклама!

*2026-01-27*

Совершила покупку, чтоб рекламы не было, но реклама все равно есть! Обман, разводилово

**Developer response:** Здравствуйте! Жаль, что вы столкнулись с данной ситуацией. Пожалуйста, свяжитесь с нами по адресу game.support@hypercell.games и предоставьте подробную информацию о вашем устройстве, версии ОС и отправьте несколько скриншотов, демонстрирующих проблему. Мы постараемся помочь вам как можно скорее!

### 1/5 — Ads remove

*2026-01-21*

Bought the ads block but I still get ads everytime which sucks and a waste of money now…

**Developer response:** Hi there! We're sorry to hear that you've been experiencing issues with our game. We would like to investigate your situation further. Please reach out to us at game.support@hypercell.games, and we'll do our best to assist you as soon as possible. Have a great day! 🙂

### 1/5 — Paid for no adverts

*2026-01-05*

As title says, I paid for no adverts as I was enjoying the game.  Nothing has changed and I am still getting them. It wasn’t particularly cheap either.  Very disappointed and there seems no way to raise this in game.

### 1/5 — First 10 minutes

*2025-10-29*

There are forced ads, I can’t stand that. Not interested anymore. SMH

**Developer response:** We apologize for the inconvenience and understand your concerns about the ads. Ads are necessary to keep the game free and to support its development. We are actively working on optimizing the frequency of the ads to achieve a better balance. We appreciate your patience and understanding. 🙌

### 1/5 — Forced Ads

*2025-10-26*

The game used to have optional ads for rewards, but this latest update added forced spontaneous ads. Quick way to lose players.

**Developer response:** Hi! 
We’re currently testing additional monetization in the game, so we introduced mandatory ads. They appear only once every 5 minutes — and if you choose to watch a rewarded ad, it resets the timer for the mandatory one.
We’re really sorry this upset you — we tried to keep the ads as rare and unobtrusive as possible

### 5/5 — Very good

*2026-07-23, version 1.8.2*

So far I like this game. I wonder if there will be guilds like in the EatVenture to get divine gears, not only ultimates. Pets and accessories would be also good as I can’t get it to 100% make instant items.

### 5/5 — Fun and unique

*2026-06-17*

I absolutely love games like this where you have the tools and stuff and you upgrade them and give them to people. But normally these games are about food and upgrading your restaurant, but I like how in this game you’re defeating bosses or saving people or both! It’s very fun and different and I definitely recommend it! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

**Developer response:** Wow, what a wonderful review! Thank you so much for your kind words and recommendation. It means a lot to us that you enjoy our take on the genre and the fantasy adventure elements. We're really happy you're having fun, and we hope you continue enjoying the game!

### 5/5 — Good game

*2026-03-03*

Love it!

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-02-13*

I absolutely love the game and since I do, I have some feedback. I hope you can put in an update so the all the equipment is more organized, instead of throw around everywhere. Also I would like to see if you would make it so you can earn idle time in the events. Lastly, it does need some bug fixes. My time extender bonus isn't actually extending the offline time. With this all being said, I still love the game and won't stop playing till I have all unltimate gear!!!!

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2025-04-28*

I love these kind of idle games.. however I don’t understand if I pay for the no ads pack, why do I still need to watch the reward ads? If I pay for no ads it should bypass all ads

**Developer response:** Hi! Thanks a lot for your feedback :)
We don’t have a "no ads" pack because ads in our game are fully optional and only for extra rewards.
You likely bought the permanent x2 income boost — it stacks with the x2 ad boost for a total x4 income.
You can also buy more boosts (x2 and x5) with crystals and reach up to x40 income, which helps with quests for legendary chests.
You can see your current income multiplier at the top left of the screen!

### 5/5 — Баг

*2025-04-11*

В целом, игра интересная. Но когда у тебя появляется Active Skills, при его использовании игра начинает безумно зависать. При этом, может забагаться и начинать бесконечно фармить деньги. Приходится перезаходить в игру и не использовать данный скилл.

**Developer response:** Здравствуйте!
Спасибо что поставили столь высокую оценку, несмотря на то, что столкнулись с багом :)
Мы постараемся найти его и пофиксить.

### 5/5 — Great game!!

*2025-04-07*

I’m really enjoying the game so far, it’s been a lot of fun. Just wish there was an option to permanently skip the ads and still get the bonuses.

**Developer response:** Hello!
We're very happy that you enjoyed the game, and thank you for such a kind review :)
Please stay tuned for upcoming updates.

### 5/5 — Good stuff

*2025-02-23*

This game is relaxing and it satisfies the neurodivergent itch in my brain. One request though - please allow the option to disable sound effects and keep the music on, or at least lower the sound effects. I love the music but the constant bloop bloop effect is distracting. Great game!

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you so much for such a wonderful review! Half of the music in the game was composed by our sound designer, and he’ll definitely appreciate your comment. 
We'll add an option to separate music and sound effects in the next update, as well as introduce new game modes, levels, and a couple of new soundtracks!

### 4/5 — Love the game

*2026-07-20*

I love how competitive yet relaxing it feels. I did however get myself stuck. I tried to purchase the coins too but nothing helps. I unfortunately can’t play or ig just start over from scratch

### 4/5 — I still have ads?

*2026-06-26*

I paid $8 to not have ads forever and yet I still get ads. Is this real? Can someone please help?

**Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for your support! The No Ads purchase removes only forced ads, while rewarded ads remain optional. If you're still seeing forced ads after your purchase, that's not expected. If the issue persists, you can request a refund through your app store.
