### 1/5 — eww

*2025-04-11, version 1.2*

forced advertisements

### 5/5 — Keys

*2023-01-09, version 1.1*

What have you got to do when you have got all of the keys

### 5/5 — 5 STARS!!

*2022-12-06, version 1.1*

This game is awesome. BARELY any glitches for a new game. that’s IMPRESSIVE 
They respond to glitches found ASAP which is awesome because it shows they’re listening to the audience 

Some recommendations I have 

•  upgrade the lawnmower with gems or ads 

• higher levels make you stronger against the night criminals but it also makes them stronger. They’re not always the same level though 

• being able to upgrade the villagers to stay awake longer 

• being able to decide what type of road to make ie paths like dirt road, brick, yellow brick etc 

• being able to decide what direction the road it going. Instead of an intersection or a straight line.  What about left and right. Or just a turn 

Side note: I JUST NOTICED THE ANIMALS COLLECT MONEY FOR YOU THATS SO FREAKING CUTE

### 2/5 — ****PLEASE READ BEFORE BUYING AD FREE****

*2022-12-06, version 1.1*

So the ad free purchase is $7.99 for ad free but that doesn’t stop the interrupting ads that you get from making 5 islands. Good luck with this ad simulator will go to the game that is being advertised it seems more fun with less ads

### 1/5 — Avoid

*2022-12-01*

Absolutely FILLED with forced ads. I’m talking like 5-10 seconds between some ads.
Deleted

### 1/5 — Hmmmmm

*2022-11-26, version 1.0.5*

How do you edit misplaced buildings?

### 3/5 — Move button

*2022-11-21, version 1.0.5*

I love this game but would prefer if there was a move button for the ‘storage’

### 3/5 — Ads

*2022-08-06, version 1.0.2*

Button doesn’t work to pay for adverts which is annoying coz it’s a fun game

### 2/5 — Issue with purchasing

*2022-08-06, version 1.0.2*

The pop up to become vip won’t let my purchase the vip option it’s just a blank green square I want to buy the vip to remove add instead of Turing on airplane mode but it won’t let my have that option

### 3/5 — A lot of bugs

*2022-08-04, version 1.0.2*

I’ve been really enjoying this game… however it’s got some bugs. The “restore purchases” and “remove ads” buttons do not work. And all of a sudden it is not allowing me to watch the videos for leveling up or the airplane drop gifts. Also it would be really nice if there was a delete/move button to be able to move buildings. And there should also be a recovery option attached to our account. Please fix the bugs.
