Decent but No Ads purchase does not mean No Ads

Game is a reasonable Idle genre game, quite engaging but the No Ads purchase does not mean No Ads. It is only a small percentage of the ads in the game. 98% of the ads remain and it is a waste of £9.99.

Was Great Until It Broke

Ch. 18, 11-05 in the dungeon, lvl 57 in the merge mini game and recently my laboratory produces NOTHING no matter how many are assigned, my manager produces nothing no matter how many times the circle completes. Can’t progress in the game any further so it’s pretty much broken.

Не производятся ресурсы

В библиотеке и в Архиве не производятся ресурсы, сколько бы культистов там не было.

Ads everywhere

In addition to the expected ads to get more resources or to cut timers down, there’s also random ads forced on your while navigating the game.
That’s a bit of a bridge too far for me, uninstalled.

Карьер с костями

Игра хорошая, залипательная, но перестал работать карьер с костями, вечно 0, невозможно развиваться из-за этого дальше, исправьте пожалуйста

Поддержка не помогает

Игра супер, но у меня лесопилка перестала производить дерево. Переустановил игру не помогло. Написал в поддержку ответа нет

I like that it has a story

Yes

Newest update

Unfortunately the newest update made the game worse once again - also why is it forcing tutorials for absolutely everything down my throat??

Игра дно

На 12 айфоне лагает каждую секунду, тел нагревается сильно, стала вылетать часто, дно полное, только зря время убиваешь

Fun little game

Update: devs are nice, sorry about calling you trash, but I disagree completely with “ad generator” games instead of games like this that are fun that should be made to play instead of watching ads to get ahead tenfold. Ads are predatory and 1* will remain. Hopefully you change it in the future.

I thought this was a cool take on idle. It actually had you do stuff to level up, and there was plenty to do by the time you caught up. Optional ads were always skipped, but I could see how it would entice somebody.

Then I realized this is an ad generator game where optional ads are better to watch as you’d waste time playing the game as ads give you multiples more for less time.

Then the forced ad came about and I uninstalled immediately.

Greedy developers get 1*. Absolutely disgusting behavior

1 étoile pour les bug

Bloqué au chapitre 11. Depuis le début du chapitre le bois ne s’accumule plus dans la scierie. Problème connu depuis plusieurs mois et toujours là. Donc maintenant je ne peux plus progresser.
Edit : Même avec la mise à jour le problème n’a pas été résolu. Et je vous ai déjà contacté sur le jeu.

Yet another ad game

Don’t get me wrong it’s a fun game but they recently started pushing ads after every little action and ngl having your no ads purchase be 10$ is ridiculous. Compared to any other game that normally does around 1-2$ it’s becoming more and more aggravating even considering I just swipe out of the game and open it back up but havin to do it every 2 seconds is putting me off the game enough to come on here and write this

Very fun & support is helpful

I didn’t think I’d be having this much fun when I first downloaded this game. I love the stories between leveling up, the battles, the kraken, and the general gameplay. I finally found a game that doesn’t absolutely bombard me with ads every few seconds. I read other reviews from a few months ago stating issues with freezing, but that all seems to be resolved now. I had a minor glitch & reached out to support, and they were immediately on it. 10/10 would recommend to anyone!!!

Recent updates ruined game

Downloaded this game a while back, was an enjoyable idle game that felt decently balanced but once I hit chapter 15 and the recent string of updates (adding Igor’s event) it’s made the game unplayable. I had unlocked all resource productions plants surrounding the kraken but after the most recent update I am now locked from upgrading one of my production plants I had already unlocked previously. The new requirement now is that I hit chapter 16 but the resource required for me to make it to the next chapter is the one I’m now locked out of!Not only that but it’s very unbalanced where it will take 4.72ah of one resource just to produce 3.32b. That’s just unrealistic. Way to break your own game and make it unplayable

Angry

I was liking this game until I opened it today to 4 cultist taken, I get one but 4. No if this is how your game works I’m done and will be deleting

Once Fun. Now I’ll Be in a Retirement Home Before the Next Chapter

I started playing this game a few months ago and enjoyed it immensely, despite the large number of forced ads. Unfortunately, a recent update has turned what was a genuinely fun game into a complete and utter disaster.

Idle resource generation has suddenly increased by an insane degree, but instead of that being a good thing, the amount of resources required to actually do anything has increased along with it. Idol upgrades now take days to complete, and eventually the main idols become completely locked from further upgrades until you reach a certain chapter.

I went from really enjoying the resource-management aspect of the game to being unable to make meaningful progress with over half of my idols. I simply cannot generate enough resources to use the secondary idols, while the main idols are locked behind chapter progression, so my progress has completely stagnated. At this point, progression feels artificially dragged out rather than rewarding.

Unfortunately, I can no longer recommend this game unless you’re willing to wait weeks, potentially months, to make meaningful progress — logging in each day just to check whether your idols have finally finished levelling up.

There are plenty of other idle games that are more rewarding and far less frustrating to play. I genuinely enjoyed this game before the update, and I really hope the developers reconsider these changes, because they’ve taken a game I would have happily recommended and made it incredibly tedious to play.

Watching it grow

A fun game with many aspects. Reasonable amount of ads you can pay to get rid of. Sounds like I was getting to the end of it, chapter 18, before this recent update appears to have relayered everything to make it take a little longer which is fine. As my gameplay catches up I am stuck waiting for everything to upgrade. Can you fix the timers so they say day:hour:min:sec ? Or have the hours go past 24? Very frustrating when you think it is close to leveling up but you find out you still have another 20hours and potentially another 24 after that.

Over a year to complete next chapter, after waiting what feels like the same for its release

It took a day to get the 2ag mushrooms, so it’s about 50 days to get 1ah, and 200 days to get 4.41ah that is required so that I can get ANY of the resource required for the chapter. And that was using x3 gems for the day, as well as having the x2 purchase. So realistically without gems it’s closer to 600 days, and without the x2 paid feature it would be 1200 days. You broke the game. After waiting forever for any content, you changed everything to make it unplayable.

Ruined

This was a fun game at first. I was fairly new to it but really enjoyed it. Whatever happened with this latest update has completely ruined my enjoyment. I do not understand why my resources, even days later are still insufficient and I can’t progress. The game should be hard and I understand I can’t do things instantly but at this rate I will never progress so whats the point in even playing?
