### 1/5 — Abandoned by Lame Lava

*2026-06-17, version 4.6*

Game has been abandoned because it doesn’t make Lava money like IdleOn. Dev also released short, new game so has zero intention of finishing this one. Don’t waste your time.

### 5/5 — Lost my progress

*2026-06-15, version 4.6*

Hi just lost alot of progress can you add a apple link or something so i can pair my account to it or something i don’t really know how i lost it i just didn’t play for a while

The game is great but just lost everything

### 1/5 — Do not download still no updates

*2026-06-09, version 4.6*

No updates and the game isn’t complete, I didn’t know this after spending money in this worthless game. The dev is lazy and won’t update the game to match the full version that is on pc. Do not download this game at all.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-06-09*

Good play it

### 1/5 — I loved this game until one of the updates deleted my save

*2026-03-28, version 4.6*

Lost months of progress, since it hasn’t been updated in 3 years it’s probably safe for someone to start playing today and not lose their save to an update.

### 4/5 — Good game but Gem shop is way too greedy

*2026-03-18, version 4.6*

The game has a fun loop but the gem shop (IAP) are crazy greedy. I’d easily drop $10-$25 on this game if I felt I could get solid progress upgrades in the shop. But you can’t get much at that price point. You need to drop $100+ for that.

### 3/5 — …

*2026-02-06, version 4.6*

I genuinely dont remember playing this at all

### 1/5 — Realm nicht für ios verfügbar

*2026-01-30*

Ein großer teil des spieles ist das Realm, welches aus irgend einem Grund nicht auf ios verfügbar ist, auf android und steam aber schon. Deshalb leider nur Zeitverschwendung.

### 4/5 — Realm bug

*2026-01-26, version 4.6*

Just unlocked realm today, and first went to check out the purgatory, and then went to go in the realm section, and the game is saying “realm will become available in the next update” I am playing on iphone 13 and 3 years since the update

### 2/5 — Game ends right when you’re getting started

*2026-01-25, version 4.6*

Made it to realms and can’t progress any further.  Fun for the first part of the game though
