What I’m seeing now is that I apparently can’t progress to the next chapter without paying for it. The “free” advancement by watching an ad no longer works. The ad plays and then I’m looking at it as a poster for an interminable period of time with no “x” ever appearing on the screen. So essentially I’m being punished for playing the game without spending money on it. Shame on the developers. If you want to charge for it then do so, but be honest about it. As it is now it’s an easy game to uninstall since it’s a fundamentally dishonest relationship with the player. ### 4/5 — Cool idea *2025-08-04, version 1.2.22* Played though a few times, but game locked up and wont restart after singularity ending ### 4/5 — Interesting Story, but buggy *2025-07-08, version 1.2.22* I love the game, it was an interesting story with some repeatability to unlock different endings. The only downside is occasionally the game will bug out and you’ll get stuck on a planet with no way forward except to entirely restart. ### 3/5 — Reasonably fun, but... *2023-10-24, version 1.2.22* There's something incongruous about an idle clicker than keeps pushing you to pay money or watch ads to reduce wait times. ### 3/5 — Big problem *2023-09-24, version 1.2.22* Hey that fact that you put a inappropriate word in a 4 year old plus game is wrong it has good story but in the story it has that word I suggest the devs (if they even still update I didn’t check) change the rating. ### 5/5 — Question *2023-04-12, version 1.2.22* Why do we need to pay for the new chapters ### 4/5 — Adds *2023-03-31, version 1.2.22* First of all this is a very good game I played through the entire thing and enjoyed it but recently I started playing again and realised that when you watch the adds you need to watch to unlock the second planet you can’t exit the add and carry on with the game. ### 3/5 — BUG perto do final. *2023-03-26, version 1.2.22* Gostei do jogo mas, chegando no último planeta antes do centro do universo, meu jogo bugou o planeta e, quando sai pra entrar denovo, o jogo travou na tela de carregamento. Consegui jogar bastante mas fiquei decepcionado por ter perdido tudo pq o último planeta bugou... Tem como arrumar? ### 4/5 — Great game annoying bug *2023-02-24, version 1.2.22* I have a great time playing this game but there is a error at planet 9 that will not let me progress I took down all the civilisations except one that the gatekeepers destroyed ### 5/5 — So Much Potential *2023-02-17, version 1.2.22* Amazing Story, With Different Endings and Different Outcomes, The developers spent time to create a story to read to make you really feel like you are apart of the experience, highly recommend this game to anyone who is interested in story’s and replaying games to see different outcomes, only downside is the ad’s but l get it they need funding ### 5/5 — 值得一玩的佳作 *2023-02-06, version 1.2.22* 劇情引人入勝 ### 2/5 — So close *2023-01-12, version 1.2.22* My title is a joke, this game is pretty obviously not very polished and is very inconsistent and riddled with ads. I see what you were trying to do with the story, but your english is clearly not the best. It doesn’t have to be perfect, just saying don’t expect people to be able to follow along with a story that has weird cut off sentences and noticeable grammar mistakes. You even tried to put the game into the “World” category on the app store but instead put it as “Word”. You just need to spend a lot more time on this than you did. It’s clearly just a project you gave up trying to work on and polish so you just tried to get money out of it at least. Respectable, but I can’t give this more than two stars. Also the ad placement is just shameless, if you’re gonna try and shove ads down my throat at least time them well. Randomly shoving an ad in someone’s face while they’re invested in your game is the quickest way to get it deleted. ### 5/5 — AMAZING *2023-01-03, version 1.2.22* This game has a great story and it may look like your average clicker game but if you have played cell to singularity then you will love this game. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — didnt give me paid-for features *2026-07-22, version 1.2.22* bought ‘Unlock all chapters’, because its good and worth it, but it still forces me to watch ads before warping? A mistake surely? can we fix? ### 1/5 — You took my money *2026-05-29, version 1.2.22* It’s fun, but I purchased the $9.99 for all chapters unlocked, and nothing happened, you just took my money. GIVE IT BACK. Or unlock all of the chapters. Also the add rewards is also broken. ### 1/5 — Shameless cash grab *2026-01-25, version 1.2.22* Bang on a button to speed up the process or you can watch this add for x number of energy or you can pay money for energy if you’re hopelessly addicted. Uninstalled ### 1/5 — Didn’t receive purchase *2025-11-16, version 1.2.22* Bought both the 300 coin first purchase pack and the unlock all chapters and received neither. Tapping restore in the shop isn’t fixing it, requested a refund from apple. ### 1/5 — 劇情不錯但不要內購 *2025-01-27, version 1.2.22* 消費卻不會給遊戲代幣，目前仍在申訴中，不知道能否看到退費的一天。 ### 1/5 — Repetitive *2023-03-18, version 1.2.22* You just continually do the same stuff and have to listen to dumb storylines while you do it and when you reach the tenth planet you start over again. ### 1/5 — Can’t play *2023-01-22, version 1.2.22* I just downloaded this and it won’t let me play it keeps kicking me out!!!!! Please fix this!!!! ### 1/5 — Feels Like A Con *2022-10-11, version 1.2.22* I started the game and was asked to tap a button. Which I did… after 248 taps to increase my energy I was shown a bunch of modules I can make or purchase or whatever. I did, the animation changed a bit and I was back to tapping the energy button. If you like tapping a button really fast this is the game for you! If you actually enjoy a game plot then skip it, lame. I feel like the tapping is just to increase their screen time stat. Sigh. ### 1/5 — Ads Everywhere *2022-09-09, version 1.2.22* Ads are everywhere with terrible rewards, a normal boost is a 30 second ad for only 2 minutes of boost. You can’t even unlock the second planet without watching an ad, like you are literally forced into watching this ad or they won’t let you progress the story. ### 1/5 — muito chato *2022-07-06, version 1.2.22* jogo parado ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-11-07, version 1.2.22* I played this for the first time years ago and absolutely loved the story. I downloaded it again about a year later and played through it again. The story is complex and wild and might need a second play through to completely understand it. Through the years, the story pops in my head every once in a while and after watching the 3 Body Problem and thinking about it again I’ll be doing my 3rd play through. It’s an idle game, there’s not a lot of action, but I find myself so interested in it years after playing. Thank you developers, this is absolute gold. ### 5/5 — Absolute masterpiece *2025-03-28, version 1.2.22* The only con about this game is way too many ads, rest are just perfect, the story writing and progressing are pure artwork, shame that good games like this don’t get attention ### 5/5 — 很好的遊戲 *2024-07-19, version 1.2.22* 劇情容易讓人有帶入感 除了有一些廣告外 這個遊戲非常好玩 ### 5/5 — Love this game *2024-04-25, version 1.2.22* I remember playing this game a couple years back and how amazed I was that a game like this was made no matter how many times I uninstall it I always come back to it later on wanting to read it’s amazing story again and again just the plot of this game draws me in so much that I can never get bored of it it’s just I don’t know why but being able to choose wether a civilization either lives and you help eachother escape the universe or destroy it to gather its resources and restart the universe so life can begin again every time I play the decision always seem to be so hard for me to make either escape the collapsing universe bringing your allies with you or restart the universe by destruction in the end the choice is yours to make. ### 5/5 — Сделайте стандартную скорость диалогов поменьше *2024-04-23, version 1.2.22* В речевой раз когда скачал игру из-за чрезмерно высокой скорости движения диалогов было выбрано неустраивавшее меня решение, из-за чего я упал в некоторый тильт и оставил прохождение, я очень хотел бы чтобы текст двигался немного помедленне по дефолтным настройкам или же чтобы решения не принимались автоматически при бездействии ### 5/5 — すき *2024-04-02, version 1.2.22* 分岐ストーリーとか会話とかもめちゃくちゃ好きなんだけど一つ気になる点が SPACEPLANってやつにめちゃくちゃ似てる SPACEPLANはやったことないけど字のフォントとか作りとかも似てる あっちではじゃがいも育てるみたいだけどアップグレード画面とかもほぼ同じ ### 5/5 — This game has me speechless. *2024-02-25, version 1.2.22* As I said in the title, this game has me speechless. The game my seem like just another idle increment game, but it will have you thinking about morality and it has incredibly detailed lore. The dev clearly put in an incredible amount of effort, and it deserves to be recognized. Also I wish we could have a game theory episode on it. Sincerely an exited player. ### 5/5 — Brings back good memories *2023-11-24, version 1.2.22* I just restarted playing the game and in the first part when building the ark the ark reminded me of Scp-2339 or “The Malfunctioning Destroyer”. ### 5/5 — Absolutely phenomenal dev! *2023-08-26, version 1.2.22* I’ve just now stumbled on your work and wanted to let you I think you are an absolute inspiration! I am so looking forward to exploring this incredibly rich game and all this content you so clearly pour your passion into. Thank you! ### 5/5 — I’m actually in tears. *2023-08-13, version 1.2.22* (I’ve had to resubmit this twice cause the app store is bugging out.) I'm not exaggerating when I say that I've never been so engrossed in a mobile game's story before. The 'AI' characters were incredibly distinctive, and the tension of choosing the right path was genuinely challenging. Among the three 'AI' that help the player through the journey, Deep Red stood out as my personal favorite. Her character was captivating and unique.
