The game progress is spaced out well and there are plenty of events. Ads abound but the good news is many can be skipped with no severe punishment in advancing. ### 2/5 — Bad Game *2026-08-26, version 2.0.6* This game has many bugs. Collecting items do not collect properly. Gems and gears are constantly not counted. Collecting gems for rewards are not calculated properly. For example, after earning the gems, the reward was 3x 20tickets which = 60 tickets. Instead, I received 3. Developer obviously included these errors since this is basic math. Beware, don’t spend real money on a flawed game. ### 3/5 — Fun app if using for passive earning *2026-08-18, version 2.0.6* I found this game on BigCash, and for the earning purposes (like FreeCash or GravyPass etc) it’s a decent game. Keeps you entertained, somewhat easy to level up, and truly an idle game that you can keep ads running in the background to continue progressing. However, it is an AI slop conglomeration of every other idle game, every event rips off licensed characters and is just a ploy to purchase event passes. ### 3/5 — Fun at first *2026-08-06, version 2.0.5* There’s a lot to love about this game but unfortunately after you clear the first map the income multiplier needed to make progress that doesn’t feel like a boring slog basically demands that you pay money. The popups for paid content are also incredibly obnoxious and they’re all over the game. I know they need to make money but this is just egregious. Sadly going to have to put this one away. ### 3/5 — Get rid of so many in app purchase options on the screen! *2026-08-05, version 2.0.5* Good game I honestly enjoy playing, but there’s so many little icons for ‘packs’ you can purchase that you have this visually uncomfortable strip of screen to work with down the center. If you want to touch anything on the sides of the screen you have to perfectly center it between all of the purchase option pop-ups. Please minimize it so the sides of the game are still visible and accessible! The current version of displaying them really isn’t working ### 4/5 — Idle Weopon Shop *2026-06-28, version 2.0.3* Good and easy. No need to work much. Just sell weapons. ### 3/5 — Buggy update *2026-06-20, version 2.0.3* Generally great game. Most recent update is buggy. Can’t get rid of “get rewards” and when i go to the screen the reward disappears but isn’t collected. Daily tasks and god screen doesn’t do anything. ### 3/5 — Ugh *2026-05-28, version 2.0.1* I like the events for the characters but the amount of hoops you’re making me jump through to click out of a damn ad makes me want to sue you. ### 2/5 — Is the app on a glitch? *2026-05-27, version 2.0.1* Ever since the new update I feel like my app is glitched cause I’m trying to get my awards when I open the app and then I try to collect it disappears ### 3/5 — Like all the rest but already a bug *2026-05-25, version 2.0.1* Duration during story mode doesn’t actually get extended by using diamonds to give more time. It says 8.5m extra but still only counts down 22 minutes…. Please fix this bug ### 2/5 — Tried it again and made it too hard *2026-05-09, version 2.0.0* I was enjoying the level 1 but then they made it several times harder so you have to keep buying things. Wish idle games were what they use to be. ### 2/5 — Mediocre *2026-04-12, version 2.0.0* Quickly becomes a p2w game with events and arena. ### 4/5 — Чините *2026-04-11* Ивент пасхальный и арена накрылись медным тазом. Ивент - не обновляются задания. Арена - уже больше недели не могу зайти. В игру с первого раза зайти не могу, сначала обязательно ошибка вылетает «не удается загрузить». Чо происходит? Чем больше обновлений - тем хуже и лаганее становится. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bait and switch *2026-08-19, version 2.0.6* Avoid this game. The ad game was fun, not the same game. Also, they label the female child naughty. She is clearly a child calling the guy master. It’s screams that someone should be checking the basement and web history of the devs. ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-07-24, version 2.0.4* App ruined by making it weird. Why make the only girl apprentice named “Naughty Lilly” and looks like a child. Thats the ONLY girl apprentice and all the men look normal and have regular names and descriptions. Weird. Won’t support and uninstalled. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2026-07-12, version 2.0.3* Events are impossible to finish even when spending big bucks on the game, absolute trash! ### 1/5 — So many ads *2026-07-05, version 2.0.3* A nonstop feed of ads punctuated by a few seconds of gameplay. And it’s a clone of another tycoon game, too! ### 1/5 — Another clone *2026-07-03, version 2.0.3* This game has several other games just like it. It’s like all those games combined. For an idle game, you make almost no progress without actively playing. Because it uses elements from so many other games, there is little to no time to put it down if you want to progress. Way too many required mini games in order to progress. Idle is a horrible word to describe this game. Incredible time waster, not a compliment. And dont get me started on all the ads. They’re bad enough as it is, and then they start force closing your game without giving you the promised reward, only after making you watch the same annoying 10-15 second clip on repeat for the duration of their 2 minute ad spot. This game is pure trash. ### 1/5 — Creepy.. *2026-06-02, version 2.0.1* “Lily” is clearly shown to be a little a girl. Yet she’s called a “naughty apprentice.” ### 1/5 — Одни рекламы *2026-05-05* Что бы играть и хоть как то более менее развиваться нужно постоянно смотреть рекламы Особенно это во временных эвентах. Ладно если бы сохран прогресса был так нет каждый раз нужно по новому смотреть 1000 реклам что бы чего то добиться. Бред, из за рекламного геймплея игра уже начинает надоедать. ### 1/5 — PAY2win *2026-05-02* Jogo chega a uma etapa em que você não consegue mais progredir sem gastar dinheiro. ### 1/5 — Riddled with adverts and pay2win only *2026-04-05, version 2.0.0* Cool concept of a game but sadly, no meaningful story. Imagine every action you take has an option for a ‘boost’ which in turn triggers an advert. Basically unless you constantly watch adverts there is no way to progress or compete against other players. I’ve tried several events and even spending £100 on a single event didn’t land me a 1st place :) but the options to spend ramps up quickly, demanding £5-10 more each and every time. Money drain pit and adverts and boosts take up half of the screen. Ah, but more importantly, this game doesn’t have any meaningful afk capacity. Your development is directly linked to time you spend online in the game. Without constantly upgrading every step of the way, passing a stage can take days. And the 2 day events, which are quite cool, but you can’t even get to the last stage without watching dozens and dozens of adverts. Which is a shame because otherwise, game could be quite enjoyable. ### 1/5 — Impossible to improve just avoid starting *2026-03-29, version 1.9.9* The good: cool game in concept enjoyed it day 1 1 star: you won’t even actually be able to clear a map quickly. If your f2p forget it. Even after purchasing income boosters you will still be very far behind the income needed. Very p2w and even after paying it’s still not enough. Every scene doubles in income. Needs to be fixed ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — No ads *2026-08-05, version 2.0.5* No ads so far, loving the eatventure-style forge! ### 5/5 — Idle weapon shop *2026-07-11, version 2.0.3* Good game fun ### 5/5 — Cute! *2026-07-06, version 2.0.3* Love this game! ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2026-06-27, version 2.0.3* I love this game ### 5/5 — Idle weapon shop *2026-06-11, version 2.0.2* I really enjoyed playing this game ### 5/5 — Very addictive *2026-06-06, version 2.0.2* This game is very addictive ### 5/5 — Who is the first Playing this game *2026-05-15, version 2.0.1* Playing this game for the first time ### 5/5 — Awsome *2026-04-13, version 2.0.0* Is so fun and addictive ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-04-03, version 2.0.0* Best game ever perfect for long car rides ### 5/5 — This is really awesome *2026-03-12, version 1.9.8* And the texture was good --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
