There are visual bugs during the emergency deployments. There is only music, no sfx. The offline progress is ridiculously slow. The scaling of upgrade prices and income is totally messed up, forcing you to spend money on stars instead of giving a reasonable way to warm them in game. Also hasn’t been updated in like a year, so there’s that too. If it’s an abandoned project, there shouldn’t be in app purchases. I like the game and hope the developers can build on it and fix these issues. ### 4/5 — Good, Simple game *2024-08-15* Wish the ad free wasn’t 7.99 but it’s a unique game experience and I only downloaded it two days ago but good game flow and great for just playing for 10/15 minutes at a time and upgrading and using your upgrades to attack more targets and earn more money and stars ### 5/5 — Needs different missions *2024-06-27* Like the game, but it needs more rescue missions ### 1/5 — Upgrade and gameplay *2024-05-27* The price to upgrade is unreasonably high over all its trash ### 1/5 — Waste of time. *2024-04-17, version 3.0.0* Your idle away time 2 hours, you have earned £374k, amount in your bank £247k. It doesn’t even add on the idle earnings properly, combined with how expensive everything is make this one of the most dull and pointless idle games ever. ### 2/5 — Too idle even with purchases *2024-01-31, version 3.0.0* I really love the concept of this game, and it is fun and easy to play. For example, there’s not a compulsory tutorial, and it’s not needed as the game is self-explanatory and easy to navigate. I purchased the ad-free perk, as I was really enjoying the game and it’s not feasible to progress without watching ads. However, I’ve come to regret this as I managed to pretty much max out the game in just one day. I couldn’t proceed further without either extremely long waiting periods where I have nothing to do in-game at all, or purchasing more things in-game. The game is literally “too idle” in the sense that you end up waiting around for so long unless you’re willing to spend unreasonable amounts of money. Other idle/tycoon games overcome this by providing more activities/ways to earn money in-game. Hopefully you will implement this ### 5/5 — Why This game is good *2024-01-25* I gave this game 5 stars because it’s the only game like this on the App Store also I like the game play and the fact you just don’t sit there and watch the hole time like other idle games ## Frequently asked questions about Idle SWAT Academy Tycoon ### What is Idle SWAT Academy Tycoon about?
