### 1/5 — Forced tutorial

*2022-08-05, version 1.0.10*

Stop forcing me to do the tutorial and let me just play the game

### 1/5 — Cute graphics but overloaded with ads

*2022-07-28, version 1.0.7*

Good mix of environments with graphics, simple ish mechanics however those are overrode by costs changing between levels, lack of access to run “levels” again so units can’t level unless gems (RMC) are used. Greatest challenge to this game is the immense amount of ads that are not optional. Insane amounts of ads to watch needed to keep up with the curve of the game.

**Developer response:** Hello [ Savagegoob ] 
we are very sorry for the inconvenience. 

We will forward the 'Ads' you mentioned to the development team
And we will think about improvement.

Thank you for your valuable review!
Have a nice day~

### 1/5 — 欺骗

*2022-07-27, version 1.0.7*

垃圾游戏，欺骗说有7种语言，进入才3种。而且强制弹广告

**Developer response:** 你好。 [ 棒子该死 ]

### 1/5 — Forced ads

*2022-07-26, version 1.0.7*

Forced ads, and 1 of the 100s of forced cards for automate and controlled by constant move to new map.

**Developer response:** Hello [ Rhah123 ] 
we are very sorry for the inconvenience. 

We will forward the 'Ads' you mentioned to the development team

### 1/5 — Same thing but worse

*2022-07-24, version 1.0.7*

Exactly the same as a bunch of the idle money maker games but it doesn't pull it off well. Like all the others you need an “instructor” to automate each stage but when you advance it requires higher level instructors. This would be fine but it doesn't give near enough cards to upgrade them in time nor does it give enough elixir to upgrade them so you're stuck clicking… defeats being an idle game huh
Also so many full screen ads

### 2/5 — Interesting game but intentionally frustrating obstacles

*2022-08-09, version 1.0.10*

You have three slots for instructors but it is capped at two instructors.  WHY?????

**Developer response:** Hello. [ Sgerto ]
Thank you for playing our game.

Slots are gradually increased by clearing the main level.

We will share your feedback with the development team. We will do our best to improve the game and make it fun.


Thank you

### 2/5 — Great potential, ruined by forced ads

*2022-07-17, version 1.0.3*

I completed the first level (which only took a couple minutes) and was pretty excited to continue playing, since the gameplay seemed promising… only to get hit with an unexpected full-screen ad.

Forced (interstitial) ads are a plague on mobile gaming. The moment I see one, I uninstall.

### 4/5 — So far so good

*2022-10-10, version 1.0.20*

So far so good

### 4/5 — Good game

*2022-07-28, version 1.0.7*

Basic but it serves its purpose and has offline capabilities

**Developer response:** Hello~ [ diRtybUshE ]

Thank you for your valuable review!
We will be adding more interesting content in the future!
Thank you for your interest and love~

Have a nice day~🌈
