And why are there only 3 continents? I haven’t been able to play this game in over a month, and I figured you’d guys would work this issue out, but I guess not. Please fix so I won’t be forced to delete this game and start playing another. I would hate to ban myself from playing any of your games. ### 2/5 — Ads required to progress *2021-09-04, version 1.16* I was just playing the game when I realize that I need to watch an ad to improve my raft. I’m thinking “Ok, I’ll upgrade it later then.”. The ad never went away. But there’s an even worse part. THE GAME DOESNT LET ME WATCH ADS. So now I’m stuck with the crummy beginner raft forever. I really wish I could give a higher rating, but this is too much to forgive. ### 2/5 — ADS REQUIRED *2021-08-29, version 1.16* At first glance the game appeared to be your average idle game, but after playing for a few minutes you’ll notice something. As all idle are meant to be like it’s meant to make money, and while playing I thought “Huh, this just might be one of those games that actually do have random adds, but instead adds for in game boost only, I stood corrected. While trying to upgrade anything, randomly it will just say Free Upgrade, while a Play icon replaces the amount of money you need to pay. At first I thought that “Huh, this must be a thing for we’re I don’t have enough money to get it, but I could get it if a watched an ad.” J However, I then realized that I knew I could get the next upgrade without the add, but made me watch it anyways. The sad thing was I liked the game. ### 2/5 — No sound? *2021-08-28, version 1.16* This game feels like it has WAY too many ads and it is just kinda boring i don’t know if somethings wrong but with no sound it just it very boring just to upgrade and do all that stuff with any sounds Please tell me if this is a bug or something ### 2/5 — “Improve” *2021-07-17, version 1.16* There’s literally no way to completely improve anything without watching ads every three upgrades. It’s just an ad farm. ### 4/5 — Great game, but… *2021-07-14, version 1.16* There are too much improve for free ads and every 3/5 times the improve for free does not even work. But other than those things, the game is great! ### 3/5 — Good consept *2021-06-28, version 1.15* I think you know what i think considering every three star review has said, good concept, to many ads ### 2/5 — It’s good but problems *2021-06-18, version 1.15* Can you please stop with the free upgrades or have an option to remove free upgrades Becuase I don’t want to watch an ad ### 2/5 — Don’t waste your time *2021-05-01, version 1.12.7* The game stops after the 3rd continent with absolutely no more progression in any way. As it stands now, I wasted $10 to remove ads on an app I enjoyed, but was beat entirely in under a week. ### 2/5 — Short game *2021-04-19, version 1.11.3* It’s a fun game but there are only 3 continents. Once you complete that the game only makes money. It doesn’t go to another level. Would love to play more but probably going to uninstall it. ### 2/5 — To many ads *2021-04-18, version 1.11.3* Too many ads ### 3/5 — Forced Ads *2021-04-06, version 1.11.3* It’s a great idle game with a lot of potential as well. I understand randomly watching ads after doing something but forcing someone to watch ads in order to upgrade most of your stuff is unbelievably overbearing. Make forced ads show in a different way, not to upgrade your boats and planes 🙄 frustrating. ### 3/5 — The ads *2021-04-04, version 1.11.3* This game would be good if it didn’t force you to watch ads. Once you upgrade your things enough it says “free” as a free upgrade if you watch an ad. I didn’t want the free uograde so I went in airplane mode to get the upgrade with money. But it was still there. I even refreshed. Not gone. So could you please give the option to do it with money, because it happens every 3 upgrades, and is very annoying. ### 3/5 — Coins?? *2021-04-04, version 1.11.3* Fun game, but devs, how do I earn coins? I have every continent maxed out but not seeing where I can earn coins ### 3/5 — Not quite good *2021-04-03, version 1.11.3* Seems pretty unfinished. I maxed out the third island the first couple days and there was no more progression. It looks like coins can be used to upgrade islands but there doesn’t appear to be any way to collect those coins. It’s not broken, it’s just not finished. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2021-08-18, version 1.16* I think this game has the potential to be a great idle tycoon, but the amount of ads that you are REQUIRED to watch in order to progress is outrageous. ### 1/5 — Too many watch ads to improve *2021-07-24, version 1.16* I love time wasting idle games like this but I HATE that so many of the items can only be improved by watching an adult. It’s not even optional to just pay for it, you HAVE to watch the ads to advance in the game and it’s so annoying! And I’d pay to remove the need for ads if it wasn’t freaking $10! ### 1/5 — Why so many ads? *2021-07-01, version 1.15* I have been addicted to this game since I have gotten it yesterday. The gameplay and graphics are very nice to me, but there is one problem-too many ads! Most of the ads repeat (which I don’t mind too much), and are very, very glitchy. They take so long to load, and that uses a lot of time. All in all, ads make me upset with this game. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2021-06-27, version 1.15* I miss the days when you would only see ads when you agreed to. Totally ruined the game for me. ### 1/5 — Horrible game don’t waste your time *2021-05-18, version 1.13* You literally cannot upgrade without watching a 30 second add EVERY OTHER UPGRADE I’d give this game a 0 star if I could as I’m not playing to watch advertisements ### 1/5 — ADDS ALL THE TIME *2021-04-26, version 1.11.3* If you like watching ads every three times you upgrade a boat or every level you upgrade. This game is the one for you! I was excited when I saw the game and downloaded right away. I understand you need ads to make profit but really? You want your consumer to enjoy the game not ads. ### 1/5 — Death by ads *2021-04-26, version 1.11.3* Every time you advance you must view a ad. ### 1/5 — It’s fun but intrusive ads *2021-04-08, version 1.11.3* Way too many intrusive ads. Even if you don’t click claim x2 you’re still stuck watching an ad. Along with the ads that just pop up while you’re playing. I wouldn’t mind spending 1.99 to get rid of ads like most games, but 10$ is outrageous. ### 1/5 — Advertisements *2021-04-01, version 1.11.3* The advertisements ruin the game, every time I want to upgrade something I’m forced to watch an advertisement to “improve it for free”. Would be a great game but just completely ruined ### 1/5 — Cancerous ads. *2021-04-01, version 1.11.3* Even when you choose to not view an ad to double your reward they force you to watch one anyways. And it doesnt even double the reward. The game is such a waste ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Row Row *2021-09-25, version 1.16* I can row thunder like helicopter like boats like game Love amazing download this play it it’s so fun no pay 💰 just fun🤩 😍😍😍 amazing this is my opinion if you ask me 😜 ### 5/5 — I hate videos *2021-07-11, version 1.15* It’s a good game but the only thing is that to upgrade things to another level I have to watch a lot of videos like two just to upgrade one thing. ### 5/5 — This is a great app *2021-06-26, version 1.15* Hi this app is great you should have it it is fun I’m a million air ### 5/5 — Love it! *2021-06-07, version 1.15* It took me a couple weeks to finish it but I want more islands!! ### 5/5 — Hello *2021-04-29, version 1.12.7* This game is so fun and I love it ### 5/5 — Seems good *2021-04-18, version 1.11.3* I like it. However it does seem as if there Are no coins to upgrade the islands I already maxed all out today when I downloaded it. And I feel like there should be a way to get coins and there should be way more islands then 3. ### 5/5 — Good game *2021-03-15, version 1.10* This game is amazing ### 5/5 — AWSOME *2020-10-22, version 1.2* Yes I started playing when I saw the add and deleted the game that had the add it was clash runner or something like that and I love it but I’m still not good ### 5/5 — Good job! *2020-07-09, version 1.0* Nice game to kill time! ### 5/5 — Super addictive *2020-07-08, version 1.0* This is a great game. I don’t know why some complain here. It’s free to play and very addictive. Recommend. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
