Claims there are weekly events but the lock never comes off of that section. Sometimes all the prisoners become invisible, and the game becomes nearly impossible to level up in. I wish it could work because I love the concept, but they have neglected to fix any of it for a couple months now. ### 3/5 — Event *2024-04-17, version 1.0.48* Are there no events anymore ### 2/5 — 最初は面白いとは思ったんだけど *2023-01-23, version 1.0.46* 後に増えていく広告と、バグって開かない構成広場…笑 3ステージ目位でやる気なくなった( 👁‿👁 ) ### 2/5 — Loved this game *2022-11-13, version 1.0.46* But hasn’t been updated for 9 months and the events have stopped…think the developers have abandoned it? ### 2/5 — If you try and pay for the stuff it takes your money and no reward *2022-04-30, version 1.0.46* I really enjoy the game but this is its massive let down. ### 4/5 — Very good but *2022-01-13, version 1.0.45* Very good game and extremely addictive but please can you add an option to skip the tutorial in the special zone. It’s very frustrating very to sit through it all every time. ### 4/5 — Addicting but has a lot of bugs *2021-11-28, version 1.0.43* It’s an addictive game but the amount of bugs lets it down. If you watch videos for rewards, sometimes you don’t receive the reward. Also when you complete a level, it glitches and you lose your level rewards ### 3/5 — Please read owners *2021-10-23, version 1.0.41* Is a bug in the new event where u can’t update to lvl 100 the rooms. The game crash. Btw why all the time I need to see a ad when I change of place... Allways a ad for something. ### 4/5 — This app crashes and you lose everything! *2021-10-20* Why is there nowhere where I can get help? This app crashes all the time! I spent $50 on the add free version and it crashes when I upgrade 1 at a time and everytime I go to a new prison meaning I lose the coins to upgrade everything. Get it sorted. ### 4/5 — New levels *2021-09-25, version 1.0.39* When are new levels coming out? Waiting for them I’ve restarted the game 2 times to play and all the money put into it. Need new levels please ### 3/5 — Gutes Idle Game *2021-09-05, version 1.0.39* Habe mir nach einigen Tagen den VIP Pass gekauft, funktioniert alles. Spiel macht mir viel Spaß und hat Sucht Potential. Hoffe es werden weitere Welten dazu gebaut. (Gibt glaub ich 4 Städte) Events sind an und für sich auch nett gestaltet, aber wenn man hier nicht noch mal Geld investiert kommt man immer nur maximal zu Stufe 6, was ich einfach doof finde. Außerdem bekommt man beim Glücksrad oft gar nichts brauchbares. Zum Beispiel kostet das drehen 2a und einer der Gewinne ist 1a, da verliere ich noch beim Gewinn??? An Hotdogs kommt man so gut wie nicht. Das wird zunehmend zum Problem um so weiter man kommt. Hab das Gefühl eventuell bald wegen fehlender Hotdogs nicht weiter zu kommen, obwohl ich VIP bin. Nach jeder erfolgreich abgeschlossener Figur kann man ca. 50 Silbermüntzen bekommen, es ist bei mir bei 2 Leveln abgestürzt…. somit hat mich das Spiel um 100 Münzen betrogen, die ich nicht investieren konnte. Bitte verbessern, eventuell ein Event in dem man ausschließlich Hotdogs erwerben kann oder Ähnliches. Die Balance fehlt mir hierbei und bei den Glücksrädern. Sonst witzige Idee und Räume (wobei diese sich wiederholen). Ich hoffe es kommt noch mehr mit Updates. Es kam erst eins, das gut war. ### 2/5 — Frustrating *2021-09-04, version 1.0.39* Both of my complaints are about the events. 1. Please for the love of god, after seeing the first “walkthrough” leading into an event for a new player, make it where we do not have to go through it every single time an event starts. Or at least make it an option in settings to skip in walkthrough. And when I boot up the game, do not force me to go into the event. I can’t even double my income from the main game. I’m just immediately forced into the event to start it 2. The gap for missions and new rooms just gets too wide to care about continuing the events. Missions get so tough to complete and can’t complete them to get donuts or cards to upgrade the rooms to automate to make more money. The roulette wheel runs out of the equation when you spin so many times even the auto doesn’t make a difference because you don’t make enough coin. Then you fall back to the issue of being too difficult to get donuts and cards to upgrade to make crap useful. So then you are just stuck because you can’t play for hours and hours manually tapping rooms, pickup, or roulette. It is quite frustrating. ### 3/5 — Could be a decent game *2021-08-24, version 1.0.38* But the number of ads you have to watch to get anything done is ridiculous. Also the balance seems off, you wait forever to get hotdogs and your cards, it gets a little frustrating. ### 3/5 — Fun game but the ads… *2021-08-22, version 1.0.38* I’ve been playing this game daily for a couple weeks now. These are my favorite games! The game play is great. Events are difficult and I love the grind… BUT $30 to remove ads and get some bonuses? I’d be willing to pay that but development hasn’t updated the game in a month, the amount of ads is insane. And you have to watch them to progress. I do like that they warn you when you are gonna have to watch an ad so you can go ahead and just claim the bonus instead of just clicking okay and an ad pops anyways. If you want me to spend $30 I need more. 🤷🏻‍♀️ ### 3/5 — Hmm *2021-08-15, version 1.0.38* Das Spiel selbst macht wirklich Spaß jedoch mindert die Werbung den Spielspaß enorm. Man bekommt sie oft ewig nicht weggedrückt und der Ton knarzt dann ganz fürchterlich. Zudem stürzt das Spiel oft ab. Bitte beheben dann gibt es auch mehr Sterne. Ps: der Preis zum entfernen der Werbung ist mit 29,99 echt Wucher! 10 bis 15 Euro würde ich vielleicht noch ausgeben aber so….Never! ### 3/5 — It could be better *2021-08-11, version 1.0.38* It has a lot of potential. However, the amount of ads is ridiculous. We already watch enough just playing the game but then they force ads when switching to events or at other points. I’ve played a lot of idle games and watch a ton of ads. There is no reason to add in the extras with how much it already takes. It’s become more about watching ads than playing. It’s too bad because it is fun but it wears on you quite a bit. ### 4/5 — Questions with no answers *2021-07-02, version 1.0.35* Fun game, but the last update, where did the share button for 50 gems go? What does the professional cleaner do? The app developers site is in a different language…soooo??? ### 4/5 — 이벤트 페이지에서 계속 튕겨져 나오네요. *2021-05-21* 메인에서 이벤트 창으로 넘어갈려고 하면 계속 튕겨져서 나오네요. 벌써 이틀째 이러고 있습니다. 결제한게 있는대 쓰지를 못하네요. 이벤 끝날때까지 계속 이러면 결제한 금액들 환불해주나요?? ### 2/5 — 今までは普通に出来てたのに。。。。。 *2021-05-17, version 1.0.30* 通常のモードは出来るのにイベに切り替えると落ちてしまうようになってしまいました🥺課金もしてるのにやめてほしいです。。。。。 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — ゲームバランス *2024-11-03, version 1.0.52* ホットドッグやゲーム内マネーの稼ぎ量と増築の必要量とか、バランス悪くて進まないなぁと。 序盤で2日で1ステージ終わらないからすっかり飽きました。 ### 1/5 — 按本事一直閃退 *2023-01-01, version 1.0.46* 如題，是個無法遊玩的遊戲。 ### 1/5 — 復元できない *2022-09-24, version 1.0.46* VIPを購入したが、機種変更に伴い再インストールして購入復元しようとしたところ反映されませんでした。 何回やり直してもフリーズしたかの如く動きません。 ### 1/5 — ㅎ.. *2021-12-24* 교도관획득퀘스트 보석써서 상자깠는데 중복나오면 한명으로쳐요;; **Developer response:** 안녕하세요! [ 도도경 ] 님! 😄 이용에 불편을 드려 정말 죄송합니다. 혹시 발생한 문제에 대해서 개발팀이 확인을 할 수 있도록 아래 이메일로 상황을 자세히 알려주실 수 있을가요? - 스크린샷 혹은 동영상을 함께 보내주면, 더 큰 도움이 됩니다. - support@mafgames-casual.zendesk.com 답변은 문제 해결에 큰 도움이 됩니다.(기다릴게요) 감사합니다! 좋은 하루 되세요~🌈 ### 1/5 — 請恢復我的購買 *2021-09-11, version 1.0.39* 請恢復我購買的兩次330，不只是免廣告而已，我手機重置在下載所有鑰匙及鑽石都不見了，這還怎麼玩下去，恢復購買的紐恢復不了儲值的東西，而且按下面的本事還一直閃退 ### 1/5 — Ads *2021-08-16, version 1.0.38* Can’t even close the ads. Just stuck. Delete. ### 1/5 — Pay to win game *2021-08-12, version 1.0.38* Player can’t enjoy the game without pay for card ### 1/5 — 광고로 시작해서 광고로 끝나는 게임 *2021-05-26, version 1.0.31* 모든게 광고를 거쳐야 가능합니다 기본뽑기부터 보너스 상자까지 다 광고 봐야합니다 광고 볼 수 있다 칩니다. 많은 게임이 이런식이니까요. 그래서 광고봤습니다. 15초짜리 광고 뜨길래 ‘15초후에 종료 누르면 되니 기다려야지’했더니 바로 25초짜리가 이어서 뜨더군요 종료버튼 없이요. 어이없지만 기다렸습니다. 와 근데 또 15초짜리 광고 나옴. 1분 정도를 종료버튼 없이 광고만 봄. 이건 최악의 경우였지만 보통 2개씩 이어서 뜨는 경우가 많더라구요. 진짜 짜증이 나서 광고삭제템(여기선 VIP) 얼만지 찾아봄 37000원임 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 뭐 광고 삭제뿐 아니라 다양한혜택 나열되어 있는데 그래도 그렇지 37000원을 내야 광고삭제가능이라니. 하 그냥 게임 삭제했습니다. 게임 플레이 30분도 안한거 같은데 거짓말 안하고 광고만 20개 넘게 봄 ### 1/5 — Great game until it breaks *2021-04-27, version 1.0.25* I was really enjoying playing the game. I was a good number of lvls in, had done several events, and even spent a little money on it. Then the game started to crash. I couldn’t enter events or click certain things without it crashing. I looked through the options and found “Restore”. So I tried deleting the game and re downloading it, then used restore... it did nothing! No ads removed, none of my progress, event rewards, character cards, none of it. I am back to square one with nothing to show for my time or money and I have ads again! ### 1/5 — Icon image *2021-04-26, version 1.0.25* Your icon image is literally a character in an electric chair... disgusting ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love love love, but.. *2022-10-03, version 1.0.46* Loveee this game!! One of the best tycoon games there is! Hope more events come out??? Also hope another game like this is made, mental instead of a prison one a horror one or something crazy like that????? ### 5/5 — Ads *2021-11-15, version 1.0.43* Love it! ### 5/5 — もう少し *2021-04-21, version 1.0.23* ホットドッグが溜まってくれたらな 第17施設からオート出来なくなった カードはあるんだけど ホットドッグなくてレベル上げれない 無課金には厳しいゲーム ### 5/5 — 개발자님 *2021-04-16* 안녕하세요 개발자님. 실수로 게임 내 구매로 환불 요청합니다.. 다른걸 구매하는 바람에 ㅜㅜ 답변 부탁드립니다! ### 5/5 — Game *2021-03-28, version 1.0.17* Good game ### 5/5 — 버그 수정요청 *2021-03-23* 어제 저녁부터 게임들어가면 수익 받는 버튼누르면 게임이 꺼지는 현상이 발생되면서 실행이 안되네요 빠른 수정 부탁드립니다 ### 5/5 — 게임이 자꾸 튕겨요.. *2021-03-23* 몇시간만에 들어가서 모아둔 재화 받으려고 클릭하면 자꾸 게임이 꺼집니다.. 어떡해야하나요..? ### 5/5 — AMAZING *2021-03-21, version 1.0.13* if y are bored and want a game to pass the time, then this is it! ### 5/5 — 굿 *2021-03-14* 굿 ### 5/5 — 타이쿤류 중에 정말 재밌는게임 찾은거 같아요! *2021-03-11* 소재도 너무 독특하고 아트도 개성있고 연출도 좋은거 같아 몰입이 잘됩니다!! 별 생각없이 시작했다가 하루종일하고 있네요 ㅋㅋ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
