### 1/5 — 量産型広告ゲー。他の奴ら過剰評価しすぎ😂

*2025-10-16*

広告削除で800円使ったけど消されるようになったのはプレイしてて定期的に出てくる5秒広告だけ。広告を見て報酬を得る系のやつは普通に見させられる。広告を見ずに報酬を手に入れられるわけじゃない。レベルの低い暇つぶし系ゲームのくせにこういう手口を使ってるくるのは金が欲しいだけの病気だからやる必要はない。無課金でやろうとしても広告削除に金使っても広告見させられるは流石にビョーキ😂評価⭐︎0.5とかのレベル

### 1/5 — Horrible game

*2025-09-14, version 1.9.9*

I would not bother downloading this game.

First it is boring it is the same thing over and over.

Second they trick you into watching ads. You click on a notifications and it is an ad

Third they treat you like you are an idiot with the constant reminders of how to play.

Fourth you pay for things twice. I added a new mine and paid for it, had to wait five minutes and paid for it again.

Fifth is the absurd pint of pop ups they have built into the game. Too many side games to even enjoy the game and they trick you j to playing.

Why?

### 1/5 — It’s really just an ad.

*2025-09-07*

I’m sure somewhere in this ad is a game, I’m really just not sure where. What to upgrade?  Ad. Buy something? Ad. Don’t want to watch an ad? Ad AND you don’t get the bonus watching the original ad could have provided.

### 3/5 — Good game but lotta ads

*2025-07-18, version 1.9.9*

Good game, lots of ads tho
