### 2/5 — Cheaper to vibe your own version

*2026-09-05*

It’s about as bad as you’d imagine a game using AI animal art that looks like it’s from a 1992 Dollar General checkout lane sticker pack to be. It’s kinda funny when they run out of animals though, after that the pets are random shapes and blobs with weird faces.

IAP pricing is ludicrous, the balancing is nonsense, cards and rings have very little variety and add nothing new to the mechanics. Everything is way too slow. 

I realize it wasn’t a one-shot prompt to make the game, but if it were, the prompt would probably look like: “Make a idle gacha with pets. Make everything look oddly gross. Pick the top 3 mechanics from the games with the highest IAP sales and copy those. Make sure it plays 10x longer than would be considered fun. Now tune the balancing around $100 packs. Use whatever is left in the token balance to make a pvp arena it doesn’t have to be good.”

It’s honestly so bad and frustrating throughout. All aspects of the game. Every new unlock is a new disappointment. The reward for spending is reaching uglier stages and pets quicker. Super trash.

### 2/5 — Weird

*2026-09-05*

No offline gold gaining

### 4/5 — Good,  with one small complaint

*2026-08-29*

Just wish I could see a list of Orbos you can pull at each rarity. A small collection guide of which creatures are in the game. 

Looking for high grade puppers to break muh rocks. X)

### 4/5 — Changes would make this awesome

*2026-08-22*

I like this idle game. What gets me is I started playing on Jest when I found the game only to then see it in the App Store but no way to log in or port over. So now I’m stuck playing on jest.

Another tweak would be the info stuff for orbos, who cares what they eat and all that. It’s pointless. What we should have is an orbo log of all the ones we’ve discovered and their evolutions. Small rewards for finding new ones and even better rewards for evolutions. 

Lastly, maybe something where you can take one of your actives and place them into some idle mission to capture essence or some material.

Other than that it’s idea for an idle.

### 2/5 — Hard

*2026-08-21*

Takes too long to progress past floor 20

### 3/5 — Offline bug

*2026-08-12*

Really enjoying this game, honestly don’t have many complaints when it works. But a huge issue is sometimes (I’d say 50/50) your offline gains don’t accumulate when it’s closed. Really annoying when you go to bed and wake up only to not get any offline income. Especially when that’s the main way I play. Game is 5 stars otherwise, but this is a pretty debilitating bug for an idle game

### 2/5 — 返して欲しい

*2026-08-06*

指輪図鑑みたいな所で装備解除押したら
その装備が消えた

しかも1番強い金の地球みたいな模様のやつ

### 2/5 — Buggy

*2026-08-02*

2 star because the game isn’t littered with ads. Instead there is a bug infestation. 

I would get gold then a second later it would disappear and I would go back to my original value. Almost like there was a lag spike, but the rock progress would remain the same. 

If I was quick enough to spend the gold, it would still undo my upgrade and go back to the amount before the rock was destroyed. Legit feels like lag but the money never comes back.

### 3/5 — Initially fun but then hits a wall

*2026-07-27*

It’s a very cute game, but you quickly run out of purple orbs so then you hit a progress wall unless you pay to advance or leave the game for an entire day and then come back to it for freebies/food/etc to be ready.  Would be nice to have more free ways to earn the purple orbs.

### 4/5 — Kinda misleading

*2026-07-25*

The mechanics are less of a “creature collector” and more like one of those gearing-up games. You constantly replace the creatures as you raise the quality you can summon (selling the old creatures not collecting them).

### 3/5 — Pretty Fun, but I’m sure it uses AI

*2026-07-23*

I like this game, it’s surprisingly addictive. Saw it on Instagram and the premise made me download it. It’s really fun, and I’ve enjoyed making progress through it. The battling with other players is especially fun.

My hang up is the art though, specifically the pictures of the characters on the backgrounds - they feel incredibly AI generated, which irks me. Spent a bit staring at different ones. 
It’s a shame because this game is good, and the gameplay is rewarding and really casual.

### 4/5 — Great Game, Taps Need Work

*2026-07-22*

Fun game with the mechanics of summoning orbos, farming, arena, luck rates, rings, and dungeon. The game slows after 60 floors to become more of an idle game, waiting for your gold to accumulate for 6 hours max to upgrade luck and farm slots for food and orbos. The packs you can buy with the gems from 200, 600, 1.8k and 4.5K are great uses to speed up your progress.

The only problem is the tap mechanic fails as you’re limited to just 12 clicks before emptying your “energy bar” that supposedly you can upgrade. Waste of gold to upgrade your click past the multiplier since there’s no energy cap difference. The 4x-10x burst “upgrades” does the same amount of damage as tapping 4-10 times.
No extra bonus damage, no extra energy, don’t use gold on upgrading clicks past multiplier.

### 2/5 — I see how it could be fun but

*2026-07-21*

It keeps telling me „connection failed“ and deleting my progress

### 4/5 — Game Improvement ideas

*2026-07-20*

I like the game and I want it to be better. One thing I noticed is that sometimes I would lose coins when switch or tapping the tabs in game. I also can not see the boss timers. The timer is covered by text for example ‘Scarce’

### 2/5 — Do better

*2026-07-08*

Hopefully the devs improve the tap feature (or you know.. take out the tap limit like most idle games…) and listen to the community on how we’d like things. Game is fun until an hour later when you’re basically waiting 12+ hrs for anything to happen… little incentive to keep playing. Plus can’t transfer web account to app.

### 2/5 — 改善して欲しい

*2026-07-08*

タップ数を減らして強化するのがボス戦で
反映されてない

タップ数だけ減ってダメージ元のまま

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-09-04*

They updated the game, I paid money during the update, the next morning my account was gone, I tried to email their team and received no reply. I tried to request refunds from apple and they would not process it.

### 1/5 — Game tồi tệ

*2026-08-08*

Không thể tắt rung. Làm sao có thể chơi game mà điện thoại cứ rung như thế?

### 1/5 — Deliberately slow progression

*2026-08-04*

Sounds like the game used to be better ( probably to farm positive reviews ) but since I started playing about a week ago, progress has ground to a halt and now I’m essentially waiting 10 minutes for a plant to grow in order to give me a minuscule chance at a slightly better monster.  This one’s getting uninstalled.

### 1/5 — Lazy AI game

*2026-07-21*

AI generated images from top to bottom. Somehow there is a game from that, but it’s not good. The ads for this game lie blatantly about what it is.

### 1/5 — Great idea terrible execution

*2026-07-13*

Like other idle games it scales incrementally fine, but there’s no way to upgrade your tap for free or with Ingame coins / natural currency can’t be farmed efficiently because they have a cap on the speed you can tap

### 1/5 — ひどい

*2026-07-07*

ランキング1位の終了日にに急にランキングがバトル式になって報酬貰えなかったの流石にひどい
しかも育てたモンスター1匹が知らないうちにザコモンスターと入れ替わってて、誤操作が取り返しつかないゲーム性もあり終わった

### 1/5 — The new chest system

*2026-07-06, version 1.41*

No longer a free to play game, if you’re looking to make progress in the game you will be stuck at certain lvs for ages unless you pay for the better chests now which sucks for someone who enjoys the long timers and grinding of the gold. Bring back the old chests or add them in as options not just remove free to play progress to make profit. Try understanding game changes and impact it has on your game’s content and community. I’ll probably be uninstalling the game after a few more days unless it’s changed for the better.

### 1/5 — Terrible update

*2026-07-06*

You already hardly get crops….you increased the amount required to level a creature.

You made the blue chests only available by gems and increased the gems for an elite chest. Goodluck getting your daily gems to afford anything now.

So instead of keeping quality of life, you started to make a paywall instead.

One word: Revert.

### 1/5 — Deleted good ring by accident,bad update

*2026-07-06*

They got rid of the only way to get any for of decent ring

### 1/5 — Orbo: idle creature collector

*2026-07-03*

The reason is you can’t increase how much money you getting when Lv up, orbs, or feed to monsters. It worse than trying to grinding in bad RPG games. Done playing.

### 5/5 — Wow

*2026-08-25*

Actually good, nice. But please make it easier to upgrade low rarity creatures just for fun 🙏

### 5/5 — just started

*2026-08-13*

### 5/5 — one problem..

*2026-08-12*

I love the game but when i open the map the game completely craps out.. the screen just goes black or things will be all discolored

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-08-11*

Really fun game and pretty addictive. Lots to do and lots of gameplay elements. Highly recommended!

### 5/5 — Prometteur

*2026-08-07*

Un jeu très prometteur, j’attend avec impatience chaque ajout de contenue

### 5/5 — Relaxing

*2026-08-07*

Love the graphics and soundtrack

### 5/5 — Great game! But….

*2026-07-30*

This game is super addictive and fun with little to no ads which is always awesome, however… the time it takes to grow the crops and orbs is way too long in my opinion, no one wants to wait a full 24hrs just to upgrade one of their creatures once, I think if they made it take less time and maybe added some dungeons or something to get crops/orbs or other in game items the game would rise pretty quickly.

### 5/5 — Calming

*2026-07-15*

I have to keep my eye on nieces and neighbors kids - this game doesn’t require full attention, and it is still enjoyable. I have not encountered any bug/glitches, I’m about to beat my first boss right now :) very cute orbo creatures

### 5/5 — Can’t stop

*2026-06-24*

Really fun, a bit addictive 😭😂

### 5/5 — Crazy fun

*2026-06-24*

Nothing idle about this one! Clicking away
