I absolutely deplore ads & this one supplies lots of them. ### 3/5 — the shop doesn’t work at all *2025-07-11, version 1.0.149* the shop doesn’t open even though one of my tasks is to spend gems but it keeps saying shop isn’t ready yet ### 3/5 — Tienen que ponerle cambio de idiomas no todos sabes English y el juego es bueno *2025-06-28, version 1.0.149* 3 ### 2/5 — Game *2025-06-04, version 1.0.149* Love the game but It won’t move on to the surprise location! ### 5/5 — JJ *2025-05-11, version 1.0.149* Amazing!! ### 4/5 — this game *2025-05-10, version 1.0.149* very good ### 5/5 — Oliver’s Idle Kitchen *2025-05-03, version 1.0.149* I love it ### 5/5 — Easy game just lots of ads🤷🏽‍♀️ *2025-04-23, version 1.0.149* Pretty easy to play the ads get more play (if u can stand them ) or u pay but even without paying im doing great just started and its going well would def recommend ### 5/5 — Good *2025-04-20, version 1.0.149* Yup ### 5/5 — Omg *2025-04-15, version 1.0.149* Way to many ads ### 5/5 — Yep *2025-04-14, version 1.0.149* Fig ### 5/5 — Want my gems *2025-04-09, version 1.0.149* Yaldi ### 5/5 — Está más o menos chido el juego *2025-04-06, version 1.0.149* Más o menos chido el juego ### 3/5 — Won’t Continue *2025-03-25, version 1.0.149* Overall nice game with a nice storyline but I encountered a problem at the end. I finished Las Vegas but when it was time to move onto the secret area it wouldn’t let me. It just gave me a choice in an unknown language listed with random places and then the game started glitching and logged me out. ### 5/5 — Good *2025-03-07, version 1.0.149* Great game ### 5/5 — Love the concept but game is broken (updated) *2025-03-03, version 1.0.149* I love the animation. I love how ease the game is, but certain concepts are not allowing me to play the game to the fullest mostly when it comes to purchases once that gets fixed. I believe this would be a five star game. (Update) one the remove ad free started to work along with the purchase i try to make previous that game was truly enjoyable ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ads *2025-06-14, version 1.0.149* To many ads and so frequent ### 1/5 — Игра Крутая! *2025-05-01, version 1.0.149* Игра очень хорошая, но из за такого количества рекламы, играть вообще нету желания.. ### 1/5 — Pointless *2025-04-12, version 1.0.149* What even is the point of this game? Just tapping a screen & upgrading things? I deleted this after a few minutes! ### 1/5 — Game doesn’t work *2024-08-13, version 1.0.149* Don’t waste your time or money. The game is broken. Shop doesn’t work so you can’t finish the upgrade / use gems task ### 1/5 — reset my progress *2024-05-21, version 1.0.149* i hadn’t played the game in a couple months and when i tried to play again tonight all my progress was gone. ### 1/5 — The FORCED ads are ridiculous *2024-04-22, version 1.0.144* I get this is how yall make your money but to only charge $1.99 to remove ads , the amount of ads is INSANE . Deleted so quick ### 1/5 — Unsatisfied *2024-01-26* I have been playing this game for a while. I just updated the app and it started me all over. I had just completed the level where he and his dad made up. This is completely inexcusable. 1/2/24: Finally reached the vegas stage again and now I cannot even go to the London location. The game I so fun but there are so many issues. ### 1/5 — Stole my money *2024-01-09* I got all the way through Vegas when u couldn’t advance any further in the game. I figured it just needed some time to update. I waited and checked every few days. Today I opened it to find out the game has fully reset and when I hit restore purchases it says I have nothing to restore. I paid for no ads and now get ads again on the app ### 1/5 — Why *2024-01-03, version 1.0.108* My whole game reseted Help?!?! ### 1/5 — Fun but FORCED ads *2024-01-02* It’s a shame because this game has great art (and upgrades change the art!!) and fun gameplay so far. However there are FORCED ADS!! I’ve never played an idle game with forced ads (and trust me I play a lot!!) as it defeats the whole purpose of watching ads for boosts which I promise your players will do plenty of. It’s also game ruining with the frequency in which it interrupts you. I played for about 30 minutes before coming to write this review and had already been served 7 forced ads…are you kidding? And they aren’t just the simple “X” out to stop them, they are the “skip to multiple screens” so the ad is like 30 seconds anyway lol… There’s a “pay to remove forced ads” option for $2 which is just insulting because they shouldn’t be here in the first place. Please consider removing forced ads in the game as again, players will WILLINGLY watch hundreds of ads for boosts and multipliers and not feel scammed. As it is, I can’t recommend this game, which is a shame as unique idle games are hard to find. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Oliver’s *2025-11-17, version 1.0.161* I want the gems, but stop with the ads please. ### 5/5 — отличная *2025-09-22, version 1.0.149* безумно приятная в оформлении игра, очень красивая рисовка, не надоедает быстро и прикольные диалоги! ### 5/5 — Hi *2025-08-02, version 1.0.149* Great game ### 5/5 — It’s lit *2025-07-27, version 1.0.149* Read the title. ### 5/5 — Fun *2025-07-26, version 1.0.149* Great time passer when I’m at work ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2025-07-05, version 1.0.149* Great game really fun and time consuming for points in life where you have down town and although i hate adds these aren’t long adds you have to sit through so it’s bearable ### 5/5 — My take *2025-07-01, version 1.0.149* Fun and interesting ### 5/5 — Love it! *2025-06-25, version 1.0.149* Right up my alley ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-05-25, version 1.0.149* Fantastic ### 5/5 — Fun to pass time *2025-05-15, version 1.0.149* It’s I pretty nice game, I paid for no ads so it’s even better.
