Love the game

I love the game it’s simple and addictive there’s just an issue with the upgrade service button with it not bringing you anywhere and it just bringing you to the settings screen. The tutorial is also broken I pressed the touch screen tutorial and I can’t afford the bar upgrade so now I’m stuck

Was great

Like others are saying, I loved this at first too. But forcing ads to do the basic minimum for gameplay is ridiculous. I get how ads are necessary but usually aren’t forced for required tasks for games, just optional. Or even making an ad be watched inbetween nights is acceptable. But this is way too much to not be able to really play without watching multiple times per “night”

WAS great

When I first downloaded it, I really enjoyed playing it. No ad pop ups and I was able to just play. There were ads to get more energy if I wanted but that was it. It updated though and now instead of being able to purchase (with game money not real money) all of your restocking items to sell you have to watch and ad to fully restock. Absolutely sucks now. Because it happens often throughout each “night” you’re open on the game. At this point I stopped playing because having to watch the ad to restock when I was able to just do it before is very annoying.

Why

Having to watch an ad every single time to restock the bar is insane. The update itself looks good, but the having to watch an ad to restock EVERY TIME is beyond me. Change it back.
