You are not forced to watch ads, it’s only an added option. One thing I’d like to see added (besides the gameplay extensions) is the ability to buy the max amount of upgrades affordable. * the developers actually listened! I’ll change the rating to 5stars. Waiting for the new content updates as well, keep up the good work! ### 5/5 — Best game I have ever played *2018-12-08, version 1.0.5* Everything about this game is 👌👌👌👌 ### 5/5 — Love game *2018-12-01, version 1.0.5* I love it I’m hooked ### 5/5 — Not pushy with IAP *2018-11-24, version 1.0.4* The game is fun ### 3/5 — Beau graphismes *2018-11-21* Beaucoup trop de publicités si vous voulez jouer gratuitement, je l’ai effacer rapidement de mon iPad, dommage. **Developer response:** Bonjour, le jeu contient des paiements in-app, mais c'est gratuit si vous choisissez de :). Il suffit de vous faire mieux connaître avec les mécanismes et vous verrez que vous n’avez pas besoin de faire d’achats pour pouvoir jouer;).

Perhaps I have to prestige again? Who knows... however if I Prestige I know I can’t gain anymore engineers and at the moment I’m grinding videos to gain engineers... honestly I hope for more levels, I hope for more updates, I hope for leaderboards, I hope for a lot more. Is there anything you can answer crimson pine developers? I send you an email and I never received any reply after three weeks now so this is my last resort. Anyways love the game, hope for more. It is basic and when you reach the last universe era, and unlock the last space craft (9th detention jumper) that’s about it for the game. I’m just pressing for engineers and multiplying my income in the mean time. ### 5/5 — Great little game *2018-11-15, version 1.0.4* Thanks for fixing it love how it teachers you ### 5/5 — I was desperate *2018-11-11, version 1.0.4* When I first saw this game, it made my mind blown away and had it on pre-order. I had it on pre-order for 2 weeks and it comes out and I played the first thing. I hope this game has updates soon, I will be very thrilled with this game if so! ### 5/5 — Nice change from the a-typical App Store app *2018-11-11, version 1.0.4* It’s not the most in depth game ever, but that’s what makes it fun. Instead of being the typical app that spams your screen with 10 second ads every third upgrade, there are only option ads which gives bonus’. The trivia about each plane or even future possibilities is honestly the best addition this game could have added. 5/5 will continue to play for a long time. ### 3/5 — Fun for a bit *2018-11-09, version 1.0.4* The game was really good at first but the Mars satellite is has the same info as the space plane ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 이겜 하지마셈 *2026-03-04* 3300원 짜리 두번 구입했는데 보석이 안들어오네요 ### 1/5 — Проблема с нажатием *2022-12-27* Не нажимается кнопка прокрутки казино и просмотри реклам,а так же не могу перейти в следующую эру. Интернет стабильный. ### 1/5 — Glitch *2019-07-19, version 1.0.8* So... this glitch happens right after you buy a plane. So I buy the plane, and then is gets rid of it and tells me to buy it again. I hope you can fix this cause if you can this would be a great game. ### 1/5 — To many ads *2018-12-29, version 1.0.6* Asks you to watch an ad after every attempt and forces you to watch one after every 3 attempts ### 1/5 — In app purchases *2018-12-03, version 1.0.5* I hate in app purchases so don’t do them any more 😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖 ### 1/5 — Poor ad integration *2018-11-15, version 1.0.4* Ads fail to deliver promised bonuses ### 1/5 — Horrible Ads *2018-11-03, version 1.0.2* Just lost several hours of offline income after using an ad to double it did not allow me to return to the game. I promptly deleted this game after this happened. ### 1/5 — Horrible game *2018-10-29, version 1.0.2* I honestly love idle games but once I got in here whenever I’d upgrade something the next time I would go on I would lose my upgrades, I’m writing this review because I’ve had enough after I went on and all my engineers were gone I don’t think I’ll ever go back to this game ### 1/5 — Another fun at first game *2018-10-27, version 1.0.2* The game is nice for an idle game at first. You progress nicely and can use upgrades decently as well. It’s expected to slow down some, but your progress all but halts after you hit the golden age and they want you to start viewing ads to speed up your process or pay for the in game currency. I tried watching an ad to speed up my process but your button is broken. Video would not load for the speed up process or spin the wheel. I don’t like free to play games that force you to spend money in order to make the slightest hint of progress. What’s the point of it being free at that point? ### 1/5 — Insanely crap *2018-10-26, version 1.0.2* Spent so much of time and then you teach the player after a long progress to reset the entire game! YOU HAVE TO BE THE WORST GAME DESIGNER ON EARTH! You need to visit a Hospital! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome But I Don’t Have Anything To Do Now *2025-04-17, version 1.1.0* I’ve Finished The Game. A long time ago I got galaxy and it took a month to get to universe and since the OST only got better and better I was really excited to get universe but then this creepy song started and it was disappointing. Add Multiverse. Can You Make It Cyan. I like the style of universe but the advance era picture had a completely different color and look to it. I still like the style of the era but i always wanted a era that had these different styles. Like universe,Galaxy Era Kind of song,Cyan & Black,And Actually have a ending unlike universe. It Would Be A Good Thing To Do Or make a Idle skies 2 Still 5 Stars tho. ❤️ ### 5/5 — So good *2021-08-22, version 1.1.0* It’s so good ### 5/5 — I like planes so yeah *2020-11-11, version 1.1.0* Yeah I really like this game and can you make it so you can make your own plane at the end of every era but if you do make it so you can make it amosme ### 5/5 — Great *2020-05-11, version 1.0.10* Amazing game I just started and the first minute I played I had 30k What a amazing game ### 5/5 — Oink oink Jim *2020-04-17, version 1.0.10* Best game ever amazing planes and everything please make more ### 5/5 — The best better than all the other idle games out there *2019-03-21, version 1.0.8* This game is the very best I have 2billion engenders and am at universe so worth the 0$ fore it lol ### 5/5 — It WORKS *2019-01-10, version 1.0.6* I can actually play now after the update ### 5/5 — Great Game *2019-01-04* Its a wonderfull Game ### 5/5 — Very good game *2018-12-17, version 1.0.6* I love the history that’s been added to the game.
