Every little bit of progress gives an ad prompt and they can be a long a three full minutes. Some of them you have to interact with for the timer to start. Others are almost impossible to exit out of without it automatically switching screens to the App Store repeatedly. The ads ruin the little fun the game does have. ### 3/5 — Adssss *2026-08-22, version 1.7.6* So many ads ### 3/5 — Please fix *2026-08-07, version 1.7.6* I paid for no ads because I found interest in this game quickly, but with the fact it doesn’t even work even though I paid for it is kinda annoying ### 2/5 — Fun time sink *2026-07-26, version 1.7.6* Game is relaxing but the killer is the ads you can get stuck watching a 2 minute ad that even when the close option pops up another small ad with another timer starts before you can close. The ads ruin most fun ### 4/5 — Fun game but… *2026-07-22, version 1.7.6* I like the game but the progress is too slow please make it faster! ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2026-07-16, version 1.7.6* Too many ads icllll ### 3/5 — Balright *2026-07-14, version 1.7.6* Adds😭 ### 4/5 — Another ad pay game *2026-07-12, version 1.7.6* Get the option to watch an ad for an in game benefit. I say no. Still get an ad that does not give any in game benefits. This isn’t an accident, this is deliberate. Just another developer who hopes you’ll pay them money to get ride of ads instead of balancing ads vs. Game play. ### 3/5 — Paid for no ads - still getting ads *2026-06-24, version 1.7.6* Paid for no ads in 2 different ways and still getting ads. Annoying. Game is fun otherwise. ### 4/5 — A pretty good deal *2026-06-13, version 1.7.6* This game is fun until things get too expensive and it takes longer to buy things but overall it’s a pretty damn good game ### 2/5 — Ad-watching simulator *2026-05-08, version 1.7.6* It’s basically an ad-watching simulator. Every time you want to do anything other than clicking it forces you to watch an ad. Even if you want to level up it says do you want to watch an ad to get 2x? You say no and it still gives an ad. This is every 30s of clicking. I also have no idea what the clicking even does because they seem to love at the same pace without clicking. ### 1/5 — Broken Ad Purchase *2026-05-06, version 1.7.6* Purchasing Ad-free doesn’t work so you are still forced to watch the ads. ### 1/5 — Extremely bad *2026-04-24, version 1.7.6* Ads more than anything ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-04-07, version 1.7.6* Forced ads. Hate them. Stop it. Don’t make the player pay $3 usd to play a game for more than 90 seconds. If I wanna give you money I will. ### 1/5 — Why can’t I skip ads *2026-04-05, version 1.7.6* You charge for pop up ads but force rewards ads?! Yea screw you too ### 3/5 — No Ads isn’t no ads *2026-03-21, version 1.7.6* Don’t pay for no ads. You’ll still have to watch ads for the boosts. Games okay but no ads and still making you watch ads is too scammy ### 2/5 — Ads *2026-03-20, version 1.7.6* Why give the option to pay for no ads, if all the offers to help boost you idle gameplay still requires you to watch ridiculously long ads. It’s a complete waste of money ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bit of a con *2026-09-03, version 1.7.6* Pay to remove adds - but only random ones yet still have ads for nearly every other thing. If going to offer no ads then at least do where it matters ### 1/5 — Ads ads ads *2026-08-24, version 1.7.6* Constant ads can’t even play the darn game ### 1/5 — Play if you love watching ads to progress *2026-08-20, version 1.7.6* Almost every part of the game requires you to watch ads. Want to pick up this gold? Watch an ad. Want to get literally any boost in the game? Watch an ad. This game shoves constant ads down your throat as means to progress even though there are no forced ads. ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-07-15, version 1.7.6* Bought no ads and still showing ads ### 1/5 — 99% ads 1% gameplay *2026-07-15, version 1.7.6* Dumb af title says it all. I don’t care if you need ad revenue this is just greedy. Don’t bother replying to this with some BS ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-07-05, version 1.7.6* I do not mind watching ads to earn benefits. However don’t start ads without me choosing to do so. Nothing annoys me more. I have deleted the game. ### 1/5 — Boring game feeding you adds *2026-06-17, version 1.7.6* Incredibly boring and forces you to watch adds (even unwanted) often lasting 90seconds. Even adds are more interesting then this game. Avoid ### 1/5 — Forced ads *2026-05-17, version 1.7.6* Forced ads after 3 minutes of playing ### 1/5 — Не стоит скачивать *2026-05-15* Помойка с обязательной рекламой ### 1/5 — Forced Ads *2026-05-12, version 1.7.6* Will happily watch ads and buy upgrades to support games I enjoy. But every other button I pressed launched a forced ad. And they are like 2 minutes long, it's infuriating ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This is nostalgic *2026-06-30, version 1.7.6* Back then i used to play this in my old ipad and i judt downloaded it now and the background sounds with birds makes me feel nostalgic def a recommended game!!! ### 5/5 — So good! *2026-05-28, version 1.7.6* I love this game.
