Can this please be fixed? Fun game otherwise. ### 4/5 — Good Concept *2025-07-14, version 1.0.39* I really like this game, but I’m upset that the progression stops after the 3rd level. I thought it was more of a “through the ages” type game, so hopefully the devs add more civilizations/eras in the future. I think the progression is pretty well paced, and the events are fun (although they can feel very slow). There are no forced ads, so I don’t know why people are saying there are? Another thing is that when you go to refund necklaces, rings, and belts it tells you you’ll get back 100% of the materials (runes) used to upgrade them. This is not true, and it’s very frustrating bc the runes take a while to build up, so I don’t feel inclined to swap out those accessories even if I want to. Overall, I think this game is super cute, and it’s right up my alley with the whole “through the ages” thing. I just hope to see more levels added in the future ### 4/5 — Good but a little slow *2025-07-08, version 1.0.39* It’s fun but later in the game the levels get very slow and you need to watch ads to really progress. But other then that I like it not the best game but it is fun ### 2/5 — Forced Adds *2025-05-05, version 1.0.38* I typically like playing the game until one of the most recent updates. I went from watching adds when I needed boosts, to I’m not even in the game for a full 10secs and an add just starts playing. Even if I give in and watch it, once it’s done, another forced add happens in the next 30 secs. It makes it really difficult to actually play the game and complete daily tasks or events.😕 ### 2/5 — What happened??? *2025-04-28, version 1.0.38* I was playing and enjoying the game. Got through level four and BAM an ad before I even got to see what level 5 was about. So far in level 5, I’ve had a forced ad every 15-20 seconds. How do you expect me to make progress like that? And 19.99 to remove ads??? That’s too much. I never pay more than $6 to remove ads. This is really too bad because it’s a cute game. But I just can’t send more time watching ads than playing the game. ### 4/5 — Slow at first *2025-03-15, version 1.0.35* It’s quite slow when you first start, you almost exit out of the app just waiting to get enough money to upgrade it once. But a while after that it’s pretty good! ### 3/5 — I don’t know *2025-03-07, version 1.0.35* This game seems like it doesn’t have much to do in it, especially since I got out of the 1st phase Stone Age very quickly and moved to the tools ### 2/5 — This game is not balanced at all *2025-01-06, version 1.0.35* After my 1st-time return, the whole game difficulty became insane, like, 4k to upgrade the 1st workshop from lv1 to lv2 on the 1st map. My total profit is +41398% and it took me a couple of weeks to get back to the 3rd world. This doesn’t make any sense at all. ### 3/5 — Mid *2025-01-05, version 1.0.35* Not what the add is but mid ### 2/5 — Unethical/Fraud *2024-12-25, version 1.0.35* I really enjoyed this game, played the whole game through and took the prestige 1. I loved how unique it was that every level was different and the graphics were charming, and in general I love tycoon games. But after I prestiged I noticed something; The cost to upgrade anything was insane and almost impossible to get without ‘armor bonuses’. The prestige supposedly gave me a 100% increase to profits, but what use to be a 5 coin upgrade now cost 240 coins. Now, in my case I’m disappointed to know all the extra armor upgrade I earned don’t actually matter, but the issue is that you can buy loot crates with real world money that give you armor, and they are pushed on you a lot. A game letting you buy something that will increase ingame profits but then raises its prices to match is super sketchy at best and at worst fraud. If it wasn’t for the fact that this game is scamming people I would honestly just uninstall to reset the inflation and keep playing. I did love this game. But I just can’t support this company. Uninstalling :( ### 1/5 — Fake Eatventure *2024-09-02, version 1.0.33* If you want a idle food game get Eatventure it is much better than this game ### 1/5 — Worst Pace Ever *2024-08-29, version 1.0.33* This game unfortunately has a STEEP pace, making the need to purchase their in game currency that much higher. I didn’t because I’d like to at least play a little bit of it before spending money. Oh well there’s a million on the App Store, skip this one ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ads *2025-07-28, version 1.0.39* Far to many ads. ### 1/5 — Ad system is buggy *2025-03-06, version 1.0.35* Ad froze during one of the rewards, if you are going to force us to watch ads, you should at least make sure they work each time. ### 1/5 — I got completely reset *2025-02-16, version 1.0.35* It randomly reseted me and deleted the things I bought for about 50 dollars ### 1/5 — Had potential! *2025-01-16, version 1.0.35* This game was nearly perfect! But after the 5th or 6th level it started having bad lag and freezing. I’d have to close the game and restart. Barely got through the level and then couldn’t start the next one. It would just crash. BUT… this game IS really fun and if it DID work right I recommend it. The only ads you watch are ones you choose to watch.. No forced ads. So… 1 star… if it worked right, 5 stars. ### 1/5 — App won’t even open! *2024-12-07, version 1.0.35* Won’t even open app have tried reinstalling multiple times ### 1/5 — Upgrades *2024-11-03, version 1.0.35* So it tells you that you get 100 percent of your gems back when you equip what you have already but now you only get half back what you paid. Either take off that sign or give me back all my gems because that’s annoying. ### 1/5 — Don’t download *2024-10-21, version 1.0.35* At the start it’s all fun and what not but for some reason as you progress everything you need to upgrade using gems doubles, this just ruins the game and slows your progression massively. Not worth it ### 1/5 — I got bored *2024-10-10, version 1.0.34* This game literally is so boring. All it does is just takes a while to make the chicken. You can’t even do anything one star ### 1/5 — Latest update sucked the rest of the fun out. *2024-09-06, version 1.0.34* The last update made the events turned to once per week and ground gear progress to a snails pace. Now the price of all gem upgrades doubled today. Games dead. ### 1/5 — Ads *2024-09-05, version 1.0.34* If there isn’t an option in the store to remove ALL ads, I’m not interested. The only one you can purchase is to remove the banner ad at the bottom. Ads completely destroy gameplay and are infuriating to have to keep watching. Not sure why so many game makers keep doing this. I spend significantly more money on games with 0 ads. So, until there’s an option to remove ALL ads (including ones for bonuses), I won’t be playing this game. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Bueno entretenido *2026-05-08, version 1.0.44* Awww muy lindo descarguelon les va a gustar !! ### 5/5 — Confused about game *2025-02-14, version 1.0.35* What are the green gems for??
