## Most critical reviews (8 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Ads :(

*2026-01-07, version Update 2.4.11*

I have been playing this game on Steam for over a year(7500+ hours). I thought it would be nice to try this on mobile, but ads are a dealbreaker for me. I would be very happy to pay to have ALL ads removed permanently. This is a great game and is a lot of fun to play, but there is no way, that I can find, to remove the ads. 
My limited amount of “game” time is too precious to be wasted watching ads.

### 1/5 — mtx purchases get rewarded with ads

*2025-08-21, version Update 2.1.14*

hadnt got a single ad in 8-12hrs of playing, i rewarded this dev behavior by purchasing lifetime VIP for 10usd. i was then immediately met with a fullscreen ad, and then more when i reopened the app. 

thats crazy work.

thankfully i made the conscious effort to purchase VIP on steam, so my odds of getting a refund are slightly higher.

stay sleazy, mobile idle devs.

### 2/5 — Mobile ads length

*2026-01-07, version Update 2.4.11*

I don’t know what changed, but the abs are now almost 5 minutes long and are not optional. Even for users who have purchased packages through Steam. I’ve given up on the mobile version and will just play Steam from now on. 

Sad day for gamers.

### 3/5 — Good, but could use some polish

*2025-06-03, version Update 2.1.13*

The amount of content is good and the balance of idle and active play is well done.  The forced ads are a no-go for idle games, and the UI could be cleaned up.  Great sound design, full points.

### 5/5 — Fun Game

*2026-03-15, version Update 2.4.12 - Rainbow Rewards*

I really like the game so far. Been playing for a couple hours. Could use some tips on everything that’s going on initially but once I figured it out it was really easy to understand.

### 5/5 — Really fun game

*2025-07-22, version Update 2.1.14*

This game has a fair bit of complexity and have a nice re-birth system. The only lacking is special events and a leader board.

### 5/5 — Fun

*2025-06-18, version Update 2.1.14*

I started on PC and switched over to mobile because it’s more accessible. One of my favorite idle games so far.

### 5/5 — Addicted

*2025-05-14, version Update 2.1.7*

Love it, never gets boring and that’s rare for me! This game is simple and amazing !
