Please fix this bug. ### 4/5 — A fun game that scratches a certain itch *2026-09-01, version 1.0.6* So this is certainly a nice find if you’re someone who gets pulled in by click-bait-y games that start fun and then become play to win. Similar to how Balatro is a ‘gambling’ game without requiring any real money after purchasing, I can really appreciate this game lets you work through different styles of risk/reward game play without actually risking your bank account. The free trial is pleasantly long and I think gives you a solid idea of what youre in for before you actually commit, granted (and this could be because I was sick when I started playing and just didn’t catch the obvious) I wish it had been a bit more clear that what I was playing was in fact a free trial, not the full experience. In my opinion this games biggest draw backs are that it’s pretty clearly designed with desk top players in mind and is still lacking some quality of life adjustments that would make the game more enjoyable for mobile users (the in game level up menu/shop will automatically exchange your xp when you tap a node without any kind of confirmation when you tap to see what each boost is, however I’ve learned if you tap a blank spot on the menu and drag your finger over the nodes the way you would a mouse you can look at the description without purchasing, and it seems that the achievements this game has aren’t yet supported for mobile to name the two big things I’ve noticed) but once those adjustments are made I’d frankly boost my rating up to a five. Especially since this game is so new to mobile I really hope the devs are working on these adjustments and see some success with this game :) ### 3/5 — Game crashes frequently *2026-08-31, version 1.0.6* Spoiler: It is a very fun game. But I cannot play past lotto. Scratching tickets crashes my game and that’s pretty frustrating. ### 3/5 — Fun game but bugged *2026-08-31, version 1.0.6* Game is fun but has a chance to crash when using scratch off tickets and makes the second area unplayable ### 3/5 — Fix please *2026-08-30, version 1.0.6* Crashes very often and it makes you lose a lot of progress ### 3/5 — Stuck?? Respond *2026-08-27, version 1.0.5* So I bought the full game 10$ and I got past all the worlds if u could call them that and I start a new game but it says demo mode completed and tries to make me rebuy I didn’t pay for a broken game and also when it says demo mode gold complete it caps at 1million but to get past the frog it’s 10 million so I’m stuck and would like to speak to someone if there’s anything I can do in my part I love the game and would like to countine to play but if I have to pay 10 dollers to replay the game that’s be thank u for your time will rate 5 star when someone reaches out and helps me understanding this problem ### 3/5 — fun, but the lotto game causes frequent crashes *2026-08-27, version 1.0.5* honestly this is one of the more engaging idle games i've played, and 10 dollars is fine for what it is, i haven't had any issues payment-wise. it's just irritating that the second minigame specifically seems to crash if you scratch any given ticket at the wrong speed (too fast and too slow have both crashed it) ### 2/5 — Keeps going back to demo mode *2026-08-27, version 1.0.5* I'm currently on +++++, and it defaulted back to demo mode. Can't bank more than 1mil gold. Took 10bil per clear to get to +++++. Restore purchase button isn't working. Do we have any idea when this will be fixed? UPDATE Reset and re-spend the gems from + mode before grabbing gold and the demo mode doesn't turn back on. Well, at least it worked for me. ### 4/5 — A fun game that scratches a certain itch *2026-08-25* So this is certainly a nice find if you’re someone who gets pulled in by click-bait-y games that start fun and then become play to win.

Cependant remplis de crash dans le loto .. impossible de profiter du contenu le moindre ticket gratté est un plantage assuré suivis d’un rollback .. À patch rapidement ### 3/5 — Weird new game plus design *2026-08-21* The game initially is really good for an incremental idle game, but for some reason its new game plus goes in the opposite direction of how you would expect it to work. Instead of restarting the game from the beginning with new upgrades options that help you get further and further into more ridiculously high number it, while still giving new upgrades, drastically increase regular upgrade cost making the game feel much worse as you get further and further into the game. I’m not sure why this was designed this way, when designing a game at your foremost priority is to make it fun (aside from profit, which this choice doesn’t even make sense when looking at from a profit perspective because if you’ve gotten this far you probably already bought the game from the demo) and this choice does the exact opposite of that. ### 3/5 — its a fun game but theres a BRUTAL bug in the scratch tickets *2026-08-21, version 1.0.5* as i scratch a ticket theres almost a pin at the top of my screen that has a scratch line over the entire ticket ### 3/5 — Game crashes repeatedly *2026-08-20, version 1.0.5* I don’t usually write reviews, but the game is pretty good, I thought I’d like to continue into the rest of the game so I bought the full game, after I kept playing into the 3rd and 4th room my game started to crash repeatedly and set me back each time I would highly recommend once fixed tho ### 4/5 — Très bon jeu *2026-08-19* Franchement c’est un très bon jeu. Ouais faut lâcher 10€ mais je trouve que ça les vaut largement. Il y a quand même un seul bémol, une fois qu’on passe les Trillions on arrive à des montants en puissance ? Exemple 1.60e 45 au début sa pose pas trop de problèmes mais quand une amélioration demande par exemple 1.45e 10 mais qu’on a 1.60e 45 et qu’on peu pas acheter l’amélioration car il faut passer 9.99e 99 pour repasser à 1.00e 00. Cela devient vite compliqué ou on est ### 4/5 — Undeserved ratings *2026-08-18, version 1.0.5* I understand that people are probably mad over the fact that the full game is behind a pay wall and your kinda tricked into thinking you found a awesome game, but this game is completely free no ads and is better than all of the ai slop games that spam ads in your face and that’s without buying the full game. It clearly doesn’t deserve 2.8 stars it deserves more there’s way more games that have way less effort put into them that have higher ratings give this game a break and maybe even buy the full game the devs need to make money some how ### 3/5 — Should I get refund? *2026-08-18, version 1.0.5* Was having fun I had to buy the game to progress which was $20 in nzd and when you get to the second stage the game becomes unplayable due to the game crashing when scratching the lottery tickets and when you get back in all the progress you had made is lost, I thought that it was a one or two time thing but it happens every time… I would like to be refunded as I could just play this on my computer… devs? ### 2/5 — ロト *2026-08-16* ロトで落ちる ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t play it’s a scam to get you to pay money to play it *2026-09-02, version 1.0.6* This game also sucks ### 1/5 — I can’t play *2026-09-02, version 1.0.6* My game crashes as soon as I try and do the first lotto ticket ### 1/5 — WARNING *2026-08-31, version 1.0.6* As soon as I got the full game for 10£ it was okay until the game kept crashing every time I tried to use the ticket to progress in the game. Dev please fix bug ### 1/5 — Weird new game plus design / forgot my purchase? *2026-08-31, version 1.0.6* The game initially is really good for an incremental idle game, but for some reason its new game plus goes in the opposite direction of how you would expect it to work. Instead of restarting the game from the beginning with new upgrades options that help you get further and further into more ridiculously high number it, while still giving new upgrades, drastically increase regular upgrade cost making the game feel much worse as you get further and further into the game. I’m not sure why this was designed this way, when designing a game at your foremost priority is to make it fun (aside from profit, which this choice doesn’t even make sense when looking at from a profit perspective because if you’ve gotten this far you probably already bought the game from the demo) and this choice does the exact opposite of that. (Updated review from being originally 3 stars) How… how do you make a game in such a way that it forgets your purchase of the full game? Like how? ### 1/5 — YOU WILL HAVE TO SPEND 10 dollars after doing the first part *2026-08-29, version 1.0.6* Bad ### 1/5 — Dude.. fix your game lol *2026-08-17, version 1.0.5* This game is incredibly fun but I bought the full game for $10. I went to launch the game again ……. It says I’m still in demo mode and it never saved me getting the full game I paid for. Restoring purchase doesn’t do anything either. Is this even legal? Please fix this problem asap ### 1/5 — Cant even play *2026-08-17, version 1.0.5* It crashes when I try to get to the first room ### 1/5 — Game *2026-08-14, version 1.0.5* It says free but it’s really 9.99 once u start liking the game and getting your levels up it says you need to buy the full game what a waste sad they ruined it with that ### 1/5 — Bug inadmissible *2026-08-14* 10€ mais crash perma sur le ticket a gratter qui rollback 3mins avant c'est un grand non ### 1/5 — lost purchase *2026-08-12, version 1.0.5* bought the full game and completed it, opened up a week later to continue new game plus and im back on the demo build!? please fix. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This game is acc good *2026-08-31, version 1.0.6* It’s one of those niche games with a upgrade tree with a simple concept genuinely good it’s a honor to be the first review ### 5/5 — I really enjoy the game just needs a problem fixed *2026-08-30, version 1.0.6* So I have been playing, and I’m on the new+++. Currently, the only thing is that whenever the game is closed, it tells me I haven’t bought the full game again. I pretty much have to keep restoring purchases in the settings, swipe out the game, and restart it to get it to work, and even then it’s only a temporary fix. ### 5/5 — Seriously… *2026-08-26, version 1.0.5* Awwww MAN seriously why do I need to PAY I gave this a 5 star review because I want people to see this and I love the other game (idleon the add on YouTube really worked) I’m just disappointed. ### 5/5 — Very fun indie game *2026-08-22, version 1.0.5* Dont mind the bad reviews, they had a sync bug in the last patch. ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-08-21, version 1.0.5* Great gameplay and one of the better incremental games I’ve played. Only thing is that I wish the screen could rotate, other than that pretty great! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-17, version 1.0.5* Why does this game have a 2.7 this game is amazing but i just wish there was some sorta rebirth after you beat the game other than the game just ending ### 5/5 — Absurdly underrated *2026-08-14, version 1.0.5* Excellent game, insanely addictive and satisfying to complete. People complaining about new game+ dont understand the mechanics if you read the ugprades, reset your magician, and talent trees, per room, it explodes your income in game. Long story short, git gud, this is a sick game, i hope for more rooms in the future but the current 5 are super fun in the meantime. ### 5/5 — Best game in a while *2026-08-13, version 1.0.5* I wanted to play it I don’t have a computer I played 5 star add more updates ### 5/5 — Best idler on mobile. Well worth the money to play the full game. *2026-08-11, version 1.0.5* This is my second purchase and second play through of the game. I played on PC originally and saw it was released on iOS and I had to have it. I’ve paid twice for this game and don’t regret a cent. I wish they made more games like this. It’s so well polished. The grind is perfectly balanced between difficult and enjoyable. You have to really utilize the reset features on both the magic mouse and new game plus upgrades to maximize the progression. Truly, one of the best idlers I’ve ever played. ### 5/5 — Bug *2026-08-03* Jeux très bien mais crash dans la section ticket à gratter. A patcher vite svp pck 10€ pour crash sur 1/5 du jeux c’est hard --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
