### 3/5 — Solid Enough

*2026-05-01, version 1.85*

The core gameplay is solid, the art looks nice too. But animations can be choppy, micro transactions are overpriced, littered with optional gambling ads. As much as I enjoy it, it simply bubbles down to being just ok. Which isn’t bad, just… meh 🆗

### 2/5 — Broken

*2025-09-23, version 1.85*

I’ve played this game and enjoyed it but the high end is just pay to win and almost impossible to progress past a certain point.

Secondly now that I’m coming back to try it again the game either freezes after showing the company logo or freezes at 80% of loading and there’s no way point and it has apparently been an issue for a while with no fix.

### 4/5 — Great Game

*2025-08-10, version 1.85*

Would be five stars however recently the game went and glitched out and no longer even functions correctly. It just stays at a constant limbo state and I can’t upgrade anything or even watch ads to get double rewards. Even my generators are constantly on but give no benefits. Had this game the longest out of all my games… sad I will have to see it go unless this is fixed

### 4/5 — Great game but never lets me play :(

*2025-08-08, version 1.85*

I love this game but it doesn’t let me play anymore. Every time I open it the bar loads to 80% but never goes any further. I really just want to play the game again but it never works I swear I have tried everything.

### 5/5 — Perfect Idle Game

*2025-07-01, version 1.85*

Great art style, great mechanics that make you strategize, funny dialogue, no forced ads, basically a perfect mobile game in my opinion

### 5/5 — One of the better Idle games out there.

*2025-05-02, version 1.85*

Ads aren’t intrusive whatsoever. Spending money is not required to make progress, and doing so does not give you a huge advantage for progression. The game itself is unique and chill. Each prestige is satisfying and only makes you more hype for the next.

### 5/5 — doesn’t load

*2025-04-20, version 1.85*

great game, i got a lot of time in a while ago but i redownloaded it and it absolutely will not load no matter how hard i try. very willing to rate it 5 stars for the game itself but if it’s unplayable i can’t do that

### 5/5 — 👍

*2025-03-30, version 1.85*

the interactions are so cute:)

### 5/5 — So much fun

*2025-02-16, version 1.85*

Super simple I’ve been having a blast

### 5/5 — So worth the time

*2025-01-31, version 1.85*

Not a lot of ads. Not pay to win. You want to put money in? Cool. No? That’s cool too. A great experience either way.  It forces patience. You can’t buy your way through to the end. I blinked and I had this game for 10 months. I’ve played it almost every day and I’m STILL not close to the end yet. Very satisfying and worth the time.

### 5/5 — It really is that good.

*2025-01-22, version 1.85*

I don’t do this kinda thing often but this game is pretty special to me. Buy the ad free and this game is beautiful. You’ll never wonder if you did right. It’s so cute and addicting. 

Would love to see merit / achievement based skins. Sell me another cool floor.

### 4/5 — Recent update problems

*2025-01-15, version 1.85*

For the most part, this game is great. However, since iOS update to 18, the game has glitches. Tap inputs are laggy. Sometimes 2-3 second lag. The daily offline double bonus doesn’t work at all. There may be other issues I haven’t found yet.

### 2/5 — Please Fix…

*2024-10-19, version 1.85*

Keeps ripping me off when I got to double my items after a new day starts…gives a message stating I’ve already taken advantage of it for that day when I haven’t.  I’ve paid in more money on this game than I care to admit…really fun until this started a few weeks ago…now I’m just annoyed and feeling ripped off.  PLEASE FIX!

### 5/5 — Why are the orc so pricey?

*2024-09-29, version 1.85*

Everything like priced evenly like when you get a monster that you can’t afford you just make pause it and wait until I get more resources and if you have it before you have the material to make it just don’t make it until it’s makeable but orc the first you must make a bowl of ‘soup’ who needs rocks and some zombie flesh, which you need 20 of the zombie flash or 10 but the soup is pricey because of that, making it hard to make you have the weird thing because you need trees to get the orc live trees that need to die which mentioned the cast zombie flesh also makes it likely to have a orc because they also require the soup that requires the zombie flush means so you can’t have two other exact same time because you’re likely to orc but everything else is fine. Just the work is so pricey, but I hope the developers updated so that or his last price.

### 5/5 — A game suggestion please read all

*2024-08-05, version 1.85*

So I love the game but I was wondering if there could be another game like this but it’s related to “the other tower event” where it’s idle apocalypse but instead of us playing it on Sid’s tower we can play it on Enid’s tower aka the other tower 🫠

### 1/5 — Game breaking bug within 5 minutes of playing for the first time

*2026-05-13, version 1.85*

The game won’t let me build the hatchery, tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I have a couple hundred slime and it requires only 15 lol. Shame, the game looks good but it doesn’t want me to play it

### 1/5 — Unplayable Bug

*2025-07-24, version 1.85*

This is a really good game, but recently after the phone updated it keeps crashing or freezing. It’s in an unacceptable state and it doesn’t look like an update is coming out to fix the problem.

Technical support hasn’t helped either.

### 1/5 — Unplayable Bug

*2025-05-07, version 1.85*

This is a really good game, but recently after the phone updated it keeps crashing or freezing. It’s in an unacceptable state and it doesn’t look like an update is coming out to fix the problem.

Technical support hasn’t responded either.

### 1/5 — PLEASE FIX ADS

*2025-04-25*

Please fix the ads offers, every time I get an ad offer I agree to watch it but no ad appears. I also bought the the no ads pack and this issue still is occurring.

### 1/5 — game broken

*2025-01-05, version 1.85*

i love this game, but i got a new phone (iphone 16 pro upgraded from the xr), and now it’s unplayable. nothing can be upgraded, nothing can be built. it’s such a shame as i had just redownloaded the game before getting my new phone and was really enjoying getting back into it. ios 18.1 for the record.

### 1/5 — Remove hammers

*2023-09-18*

Can you please remove hammers or at least make one permanent one that builds all floors which cost souls I find it annoying that I need to destroy my tower multiple times just for some stupid floors and upgrades it’s annoying the main reason I got this is because I wanted to build the biggest tower but no you constantly have to destroy your tower in a very slow way to get some stupid hammers

### 1/5 — Tutorial is stuck on getting 10 roots and upgrading mud farm

*2023-08-01*

Got 100+ roots and upgraded twice.

### 1/5 — Unplayable.

*2023-07-04, version 1.84*

After some time of not playing I redownload the game to see how much the game has updated. I get back on and all my progress is gone! and im not gonna spend months just to get back to the point I was at. So I guess this is my goodbye to thy game, farewell.

### 1/5 — Is there going to be a fix soon

*2023-05-02, version 1.84*

I just recently spent money on gems and stuff and now the game won’t load, is there going to be a fix!

### 1/5 — Unplayable

*2023-04-18, version 1.84*

Since the update early this month the game won’t load, and no update since has rectified this issue, unfortunately I decided to delete this app.

### 5/5 — My fav game. Would give 6 stars if I could.

*2026-08-07*

I love this game with all my heart. There’s ads, but they literally don’t get in the way of gameplay at all to the point I can play it with airplane mode OFF (I usually play mobile games off due to ads)! Also the character interactions are charming and never fail to make me smile. Lastly the gameplay. Sure there’s a lot of waiting… but then again it’s an idle/tycoon idk what you were expecting. Overall, this is one of my fav games. Mobile or console.

### 5/5 — Wish it was still supported. You can still play all the content 🫰 dibs to developers

*2026-06-08, version 1.85*

I believe you can still play all the content that has been on this game. I just wish it was still expanded upon with new mechanics and what not

### 5/5 — To the developer

*2026-04-29, version 1.85*

I love idle apocalypse it is the first game I got and my first favorite and I love the codes but I used a bunch and I don’t have anymore codes so I was wondering if you could make some more because well all the codes you make are just pure fun especially the enidsux that is good one so please make more and I am excited for your response 




- idle apocalypse fan

### 5/5 — Fun but the developers abandoned the game.

*2026-03-21, version 1.85*

This game is good but I have some problems that don,t effect the gameplay, while you can technically get everything for free theirs some skins and a special floor you can’t get without money,another thing is that it feels like you have to by the deal in some of the events because of the skin in it and because the biggest prize is impossible in the time you get,finally I think that the biggest problem is that the developers abandoned the game the game got new content 4 years ago and it was just a skin after that it was just performance and bug fixing.Idle apocalyptic is a great game and is really fun but these issues can be a little annoying.

### 5/5 — Pretty good

*2025-12-20, version 1.85*

Adding an auto clicker tool that costs souls would be nice, especially if it starts slow but gets faster the more souls you invest in it

### 5/5 — Favorite mobile game of all time

*2025-10-19, version 1.85*

Best in the business

### 5/5 — Amazing Idle Game

*2025-10-09, version 1.85*

It’s just a good game all around. Cool and consistent theming, clean pixel art style, actually fun gameplay, or fun compared to most other idle games you’d find on the AppStore. It was one of the first few games I downloaded on my phone some years ago and I can confidently say it still holds up. Also no forced ads, there’s still ads but they’re just for rewards. All worth it but negligible. If you like idle games or are just on the fence about them I absolutely recommend this one.

### 5/5 — Best Forever-Game

*2025-10-08, version 1.85*

Bets longterm game period. There was a lot of care put into the details and dialogue that clearly shows. Resource managing and unlocking progression never gets old. 
Name another mobile game that is free, runs offline, actually has a decade worth of content to unlock, all without any (progression) updates since launch.
The ONLY complaint I can have is that events are TOO micromanag-y and take up 3 days of your life if u want top prize.
If you like sim games, idle games, etc, you will greatly enjoy this

### 5/5 — Excellent Customer Support

*2025-09-06, version 1.85*

I lost access to my old account so I contacted customer support and they were able to accommodate me for it

### 5/5 — love love love this

*2025-09-06, version 1.85*

Who ever man, woman or sorcerer that concocted this game is an evil genius. best part about this game is it doesnt feel rushed nor does it really force you to cave into purchases. There are ads but thats a small price to pay for decent boosts. Awesome game. Definitely was made with love and a touch of evil.
