Que ce soit pour obtenir des bonus ou tout simplement imposé par le jeu. C’est dommage car ça coupe rapidement l’envie d’y jouer… ### 3/5 — Too many ads *2026-03-28, version 2.2.1* Game is fun but it seems that I am getting an add every minute. Like collecting 3 cash piles and I am getting an ad. Would rather them to two adds together every 10 mins that they have set up. Takes away from the game and making me not want to play. ### 2/5 — Werbung *2026-03-16* Keine 5 min gespielt locker 7 mal Werbung geguckt. Du brauchst Upgrade 1 oder 2 so oder so Werbung , das Gebäude braucht Upgrade Option 1 Option 2 sind Werbung Option 3 ingame Werbung ! 3 Gebäude gebaut 3 Upgrads= Werbung = gelöscht ### 1/5 — Get rid of the constant ads *2026-02-28, version 2.2.1* Enjoyable game but god dam every 15 seconds forced to watch a add is crazy, get rid of them ### 2/5 — people would choose to watch ads more if u didn’t force them to watch so many *2026-02-28, version 2.2.1* waaay to many ads ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2026-02-26, version 2.2.1* I’m all for ads and happy to pay to remove them. But when ads are every minute or so, it’s clear a game is a money grab. This app is poorly designed and simplistic. Someone clearly spent 10 minutes to make an app and bleed people for money. There is no way the positive reviews are real. ### 1/5 — To many ads *2026-02-24, version 2.2.1* I never seen a game that ran this many ads don’t install if u rather watch commercials than play a game ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-02-22* Too much ad ### 3/5 — ads *2026-02-21, version 2.2.1* This game is fun but there are sooo many ads ### 2/5 — Ads *2026-02-21, version 2.2.1* Way to many ads ### 1/5 — Ads every 60 seconds *2026-02-20, version 2.2.1* Honestly is a fun game but there is literally advertisements every minute ### 1/5 — Abzocke *2026-02-17* Man zahlt dafür, das man keine ,sich ständig wiederholende Werbung schaut. Was auch kurzfristig passiert, aber dann wieder nur Werbung! Support nicht erreichbar! Finger weg! Ein Stern ist schon zu viel! ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-02-13, version 2.2.1* Too many ads mid game. Hard to enjoy the play as it’s constantly interrupted. ### 1/5 — Одна реклама *2026-02-11* Реклама каждые 10 сек ### 1/5 — Forced ads *2026-02-11, version 2.2.1* I do not like playing games with forced ads ### 3/5 — 雑感 *2026-02-04* マップは4つ。内1つは別種で伐採した木を機械で加工してコインを稼ぐ繰り返し。拡張性はない。単純にコインを稼ぐだけならレーンは1つのみ解放して高額な木を自分で伐採して流すのがいい。広告を5回観ると12時間高速モードとなる。いずれも長尺では無い点は良心的だと思う。直ぐにゴールなので長く遊ぶことは出来ない。 ### 1/5 — too many Ads *2026-02-02, version 2.2* TOO MANY ADS ### 1/5 — Bought no ads, I got ads!! *2026-01-30, version 2.2* Buying no ads stopped working ### 1/5 — ADS *2026-01-27, version 2.2* Even after purchasing the ad remover you only get to enjoy ad free for a short time. Very misleading and not really that much fun! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Adds *2026-09-01, version 2.2.1* To many adds ### 1/5 — Too Many Ads *2026-08-12, version 2.2.1* Too many ads in such a short period of time. I’m not playing any game that makes me watch ads within a 2 minute time frame, telling me to “take a break and watch an ad”. Done with this game. Deleted. ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-06-27, version 2.2.1* Beware of forced ads very frequently. Unable to enjoy. ### 1/5 — Constant ads *2026-06-13, version 2.2.1* Everytime you connect money for the lumber you produce, you have to watch a long ad. It's really annoying. It's ruined the game for me. Stopped playing in search of a game with less ads ### 1/5 — WerbeApp for free *2026-06-05* Wer gerne Werbung guckt und nebenbei dabei mit Spielen unterbrochen werden will, ist hier genau richtig. Kein 30 sec vergehen ohne einen Click zur Werbung zu erhalten. ### 1/5 — Way to many adds *2026-05-05, version 2.2.1* The game ain’t terrible but it’s a ad every 15 to 20 seconds. I played it for about a day and then deleted it cause I got tired of the ads. ### 1/5 — Реклама *2026-04-29* Каждые 2 минуты реклама не кому не советую даную игру как по функционалу отлично но разраб на столько жадный что улучшения за рекламу поиграл 2 минуты реклама зашел в магазин реклама не игра а рекламное агентство какое то ### 1/5 — Супер *2026-04-29* Отличный симулятор просмотра рекламы ### 1/5 — 개병신 광고게임 *2026-03-23* 개발자 병신년들 ### 1/5 — Incessant ads *2026-03-07, version 2.2.1* This is a game that would be fun if the ads ever let up a bit. And many are over a minute long. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Take it back *2026-01-24, version 2.2* Hate Hate Hate the Ads ### 5/5 — Decent game *2025-12-28, version 2.1.9* Decent game so far. ### 5/5 — Good Idle Game *2025-11-15, version 2.1.7* This game is good to idle play, relax, plan, strategize, and learn to manage tasks ahead of you at a work site. ### 5/5 — Interesting game *2025-10-21, version 2.1.7* Looks and plays well ### 5/5 — Great game. *2025-10-13, version 2.1.7* Game is awesome. Genuinely fun. Only downside is it’s AD CENTRAL, game gives you the opportunity to pay for ad free time but it goes away within a short amount of time. Overall game rocks. Just ruins the grind from consistent ads ### 5/5 — Когда обновление *2025-10-07* Когда обновление? Все прокачено, уперся в развитии ### 5/5 — No ads cheat (only on iPad) *2025-10-03, version 2.1.7* Hears how you play with no ads 1.open the game 2.pull down on your screen 3. Turn-off internet 4.done ### 5/5 — No add *2025-09-01, version 2.1.7* Way to many adds ### 5/5 — 楽し〜 *2025-07-05* やったら難しいけどハマるネ楽し〜 ### 5/5 — Fini *2025-06-07* Jeu fini malgré les pubs je suis au max partout --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
