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 ### 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 ### 2/5 — Unfortunately still buggy. *2025-12-05, version 4.6* It’s a fun game, but the IOS version still has a bunch of annoying bugs(especially when you have to craft millions of items by manually clicking). And the game is abandoned. So if you start, just know that it might get rough! ### 2/5 — Update game *2025-12-01, version 4.6* Update the game there’s so many bugs ### 4/5 — Amazing but… *2025-08-23, version 4.6* The game is amazing. But; 1. When I beat the last level of the dungeon and unlocked the realm. When I went to o into the realm, it said, “realm and afterlife update coming out soon.” 2. When I rebirth for the first time and unlocked some gems for mining, it said, “you need to rebirth to unlock this.” But, in general the game is amazing and highly recommend. ### 2/5 — Afterlife *2025-08-10, version 4.6* Why is it that the realm update was 2 years ago yet I don’t have the afterlife update nor the option to update the game on iPhone? ### 4/5 — Great game but many bugs *2025-07-02, version 4.6* Everything was fine until the games sound just turned off. I’ve tried everything to fix it and it still won’t work. The game is still playable but I’d rather play it with sound. ### 2/5 — LavaFlame2 doesn’t care anymore *2025-06-24, version 4.6* Buddy abandoned this game and refuses to do the final update for iOS, don’t spend any money on this game. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time *2025-06-23, version 4.6* I’m a mobile only player as my pc doesn’t work and I was trying to do the Idleon idle Skilling event and there is absolutely no way I can link the account to steam/idleon. Not worth the waste of time on this absolutely garbage game that has one of the worst tutorials ever, no explanation on what anything does. Don’t waste time on this ### 1/5 — Do not download *2025-06-20, 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. ### 4/5 — The Realm *2025-06-16, version 4.6* The realm doesn’t work I made it to purgatory and I unlocked the realm but it says it will be in the next update I am in mobile and I am confused about this HELP LAVA ### 3/5 — … *2025-06-15* Funny game, but where is realm, it has already added on other platforms, but not here. Also this game really needs cross-platforming and cloud saves ### 1/5 — Game Beaking Skilling *2025-03-27, version 4.6* This game is wonderful as a numbers go up game… until you open up The Portal. After that, texts mesh together, only the first smithing anvil works and can’t be changed what is being crafted, and given the last update was 2 years ago, this bug will likely never get fixed. Run … drop everything with this game and run. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Do not download still no updates *2025-11-17, 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. ### 1/5 — Why Lavaflame. *2025-10-10, version 4.6* I have loved this game for years, but Lavaflame doesn’t care to fix bugs that prevent anymore game progression. IOS has problems, and Lavaflame has ignored their fans for years. The Realm problem has been around on IOS for 2 years, and we seriously can’t go further. ### 1/5 — My Account Erased *2025-08-21, version 4.6* after many months of playing i opened the game to see the beginning tutorial, with my account obviously being gone. other reviews shows the poor quality of this game ### 1/5 — 🤢 *2025-08-05* Unfortunately, this game has been abandoned by its developer. It suffers from basic bugs — including a severe overflow issue that makes the game unplayable. Additionally, promised content for iOS has been "coming soon" for over a year and still hasn't been released. It's clear the developer has moved on to a more profitable project, leaving this one behind. Do not waste your time on this game — it's no longer being supported or updated. ### 1/5 — Trash *2025-07-06, version 4.6* Game is trash and the developer is incompetent ### 1/5 — Realms Missing *2025-06-25, version 4.6* It says that realms was released but I don’t have access to the section and this update was from two years ago get it fixed. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-06-09* Good play it ### 5/5 — Good game. *2025-11-23, version 4.6* Love the game. Begged to download it for a while. But in the crusades tutorial, it exits after telling me to go until I beat the crusades boss. Then, it tells me again, “welcome to crusades let’s fight a boss” as if I hadn't heard it before. It’s so annoying. I tried to speed run the grasslands (even beat it in one day) just to unlock it but it’s sooooooo annoying that it won’t work. :(. Love the game though. I also love idleon. ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2025-08-16, version 4.6* A real game and not a cash grab. Excellent work by the developer. I bought something just to support this guy because he truly deserved it. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-04-15, version 4.6* This game keeps me busy for hours because of how good it is. I do wish there was more ways to get gems though ### 5/5 — How do I get into the realm and nightmare features? *2025-02-12, version 4.6* The realm and nightmare features don’t work for me, why? ### 5/5 — Realms on IOS *2024-11-22, version 4.6* Lava PLEASE ADD REALMS ON IOS PLEASE other wise the game Is great ### 5/5 — Please fix afterlife and realm lava!! *2024-11-15, version 4.6* I have played this game since 2022 and I have loved every bit of it, and i have reached the point where gameplay starts to slow if you don’t have items that correlate with afterlife, I didn’t reach this point on my last phone and have played this on the pc and realm worked fine. So lavaflame, please fix realm ### 5/5 — So fun *2024-10-20, version 4.6* Just get it it’s amazing ### 5/5 — So much fun *2024-08-27, version 4.6* I’m currently having so much fun playing the game and doing all the other skills and what they entail but I’ve reached the realm and it won’t let me go on and start it because of an update coming out soon I don’t know if it means a new one or the last update on the realm but it might be a bug --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
