### 1/5 — Rather not

*2026-08-25, version 3.0.3*

There are WAY too many ads it’s like every 60 seconds there’s another ad and it drives me insane! The game itself is fine and I would not only play it but play it so much more if the number of ads just cut in half, the sheer number of times I’ve had to stop playing and take aspirin because of how much of a headache it causes is way more then a game like this should be causing.

### 1/5 — Not a game. Just a new advert ever 30 seconds

*2026-08-21, version 3.0.3*

They don’t want people to play the game. They just want people to watch the never ending adverts. They come every 30 seconds, you can’t actually get into the which is fairly repetitive anyway. Voodoo isn’t about entertainment they have become an advert based comapny

### 1/5 — I paid for no ads.

*2026-08-17, version 3.0.3*

I paid for no ads, but I still keep getting breakthrough ads. It’s a great game, but there was no need for me to pay $ if I’m still seeing ads.

### 1/5 — Take a guess

*2026-08-15, version 3.0.3*

Fun game except for the ads every two minutes completely ruining it

### 5/5 — Updates

*2026-08-15, version 3.0.3*

Omg, I just hoped on a saw you guys updated this game. I can’t believe it, I’m so happy that there’s new content and that you guys still keep an eye on this game. Can’t wait to keep grinding this game now!!!

### 1/5 — Ads every 45 seconds

*2026-08-13, version 3.0.3*

WAY too many ads to make the game even remotely enjoyable

### 3/5 — Game

*2026-08-12, version 3.0.3*

This game is fun to play but there is way too many damn ads and it is ridiculous. You Can’t play for 30 seconds without an ad popping up. And I’m not paying to get rid of them. You guys need to fix this.

### 1/5 — Disappointed.

*2026-08-10, version 3.0.3*

I have been playing this game since it came out, and it has been my absolute favorite, go-to game when I didn’t have internet, lounging around, or needed to pass time. I enjoyed how easy it was to level us, it was predictable, and easy. 
Since the “update”, I’ve found it very hard to continue playing this game. Sure, more upgrades would have been nice, like higher levels for the machines, different ‘space boots’ or more helpers. But this “update” has just made the game entirely too time consuming, hard, and just not enjoyable. The animation as well… the simple 3D before was perfect, easy on the eyes, and not overstimulating. This new animations style is just incredibly overstimulating. I don’t imagine I’ll keep this game installed for much longer. I recommend putting out an app that’s the exact same as the way the game was before this update.

### 2/5 — What did you do???

*2026-08-09, version 3.0.3*

Rewriting my review because you’ve broken it! I can’t tap to increase production and the bots only take oil to the ship, not to any other tasks! And the tomato production is a joke! Who cares if it’s fancier looking when it’s completely unplayable???

### 4/5 — new look

*2026-08-03, version 3.0.1*

like the new look of the game the only issues i have are you cant tap on a production unit to speed it up and there is no way to off load resources if you have too many for the upgrades
