### 4/5 — Honest Review

*2026-05-12, version 0.8.23*

The game is wonderful and genuinely full of random things to do and obtain. My only issue is regarding the balancing of numbers, small things like how much generator prices cost and your income

### 2/5 — Good but…

*2026-04-05, version 0.7.66*

Had potential and makes a big deal of having no ads however it’s so slow that you have to watch ads or buy expensive iap (prestige is slow). There’s better and more balanced tycoon games out there.

### 3/5 — Good start, Slow progression

*2026-03-12*

The Game idea is good, but progression is way to slow. In other games you would get like an earnings multiplier with every prestige, so it gets faster to get back to the point where you prestiged. I am waiting to get enough money to upgrade tier 5 for about 4 weeks now… this is way to slow.

**Developer response:** Hey I appreciate the feedback, this is one of the toughest things for me to nail down. I'm in the process of balancing a new version before release, if you want to help me out with refining the balance, please don't hesitate to reach out to hello@tinker-labs.com

### 2/5 — Fun game

*2026-03-09, version 0.7.66*

It’s a fun ideal game, great time eater but I downloaded that game late last year and to date it’s still in its Christmas update. Beyond that it’s market as a community that shares it’s ’tips and ideas’ that’s simply not true, I assume a dev is just trying to make as much money as possible but if they update the game I’ll be proven wrong.

### 3/5 — No ads is BS

*2026-02-13, version 0.7.66*

Got offered that usual ads to double rewards almost instantly.

### 3/5 — Game is fun but ahead of itself?

*2026-01-26, version 0.7.66*

I’m finding this game quite fun but at the same time it’s annoying seeing “Coming soon” on several things on the first level when there are several other levels after that, I would have rather seen the first level completed and then the addition of more levels

### 5/5 — Superb game (with NO ADS!)

*2026-01-25, version 0.7.66*

Absolutely love this game. So simple with simple bright graphics and cool music and not an AD in sight, been playing for a few weeks and it’s so therapeutic. A lot to do on it, it won’t be completed anytime soon. Well done on nit being greedy and putting ads in.

### 3/5 — Fun game but crashes a ton

*2026-01-22, version 0.7.65*

It’s a fun game but it crashes/freezes every 2-5 minutes.

### 2/5 — Great game if it didn’t crash all the time

*2026-01-21*

I enjoy the premise a lot, the graphics are fun, and the gameplay is relatively smooth. But it’s just too buggy to play. Over the course of probably an hour of playing I had to force kill the app at least five times - twice it locked up my entire phone, twice it locked me in a power up menu and wouldn’t respect my attempts to close the screen or purchase any thing, and once it kept chugging along but completely stopped responding to any input. It’s just too frustrating to stick with it. I might come back in a few weeks or months to see if the stability improves.

**Developer response:** Hi I just published version 0.7.66, could you please give it a try and let me know if it fixed the issue? If I got this right, than the issue was an unfortunate combination of an OS update and a Unity engine issue.

### 2/5 — Crashes too much

*2026-01-20, version 0.7.65*

The game is fun, but crashes every 5 minutes and the entire OS crashes with it

### 2/5 — Good by crashes all the time

*2026-01-17, version 0.7.64*

The game is fun and very appealing. It’s rather refreshing to play a game without add or having to spend money to do literally anything so thank you for that. However I’ve never seen an app crash and lock my iPhone up as much as this app. Especially when collecting vile the game crashes an even stops me from locking my phone.  When the phone finally responds the app is flashing rapidly and I have to quit and reopen only for it to happen again like 2 minutes later. This is the only reason for the 2 star review otherwise the game is great.

### 4/5 — Extra direction would be great.

*2026-01-15*

Ive been playing for a few days, and i just unlocked carbontopia. And I dropped in and had no idea whats going on with the new machines. I think a goal or some instructions would be super helpful for the whole game not just a new level.

**Developer response:** Hey, thanks for the feedback! I agree Carbontopia especially could use some more clarity. A new version with an updated milestones mechanic is coming up in the coming weeks and I think it would already improve this. Cheers.

### 4/5 — Really great game and worth buying ad removal

*2026-01-08*

I’ve been playing for several months now and the game only gets better. Yeah the start is a little rough getting stuff upgraded but it’s pretty fun too. The trivia questions, mayors wheel and the winter event additions are amazing. If you stack up vial capacity, you get more vials on the mayor spin, which really helps. All around fun game. The ad removal actually works and is worth the several bucks. You can watch I think up to 2 ads during daily trivia for better loot. Devs continue to update and make things easier for us, the players. 

Oh I also wanna thank you devs for the battery / phone temp issue that has gotten much better. 

Cheers.

### 4/5 — Update bugged my save

*2026-01-07, version 0.7.62*

After you changed requirements for unlocking desert town it locked it for me and also my auto buyer on the desert town along with it T-T (I’m doomed)

### 5/5 — Is okay

*2025-11-25, version 0.7.38*

Is okay

### 5/5 — Need help

*2025-11-23, version 0.7.38*

Game is honestly peak so far, but where can I find that version of St. James Infirmary that plays on the gramophone? I can’t find it by looking it up anywhere

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Too heavily time gated

*2026-06-24*

The only way to make progress for me was the trivia quiz, which you can only do once a day. Cause you need the single unit of special currency from it, and it was either that or spending money.

It asked a profoundly dumb question about the ‘flow’ of a magnetic field (magnetic fields don’t flow) and while thinking about the right answer I ran out of time. So now, if I want to make any progress, I either wait an entire day to try again at the trivia, or pay money.

I’ve opted to just delete this terrible game instead.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. There are many more ways to get that currency, just need a little bit more tinkering, or some extra guidance. I'll look into the trivia question and if needs refining. Though by the sound of it it might just not be a game for you, and that's totally fine.

### 1/5 — Zeitverschwendung

*2026-06-15*

Was für ein sinnloses Spiel. Der Oberhammer ist aber das man ständig gezwungen wird den Fortschritt zu resetten um an die Prestige Punkte zu kommen. Wer kommt auf so eine unsinnige Idee? Die inApp Käufe sind auch viel zu teuer für sinnfreie Inhalte.

Sieht für mich nach Scam aus

**Developer response:** Hallo, danke für dein ehrliches Feedback. Das Prestige-System – also Fortschritt zurücksetzen für dauerhafte Boni – ist tatsächlich das Kernprinzip von Idle-Spielen. Das ist nicht für jeden etwas, das verstehe ich. Wichtig ist mir aber: Das Spiel ist komplett kostenlos spielbar, alle In-App-Käufe sind rein optional und nichts ist hinter einer Paywall versteckt. Von einem Scam kann also keine Rede sein. Falls du konkrete Ideen hast, was besser laufen sollte, schreib mir gern an hello@tinker-labs.com, ich lese jede Nachricht.

### 1/5 — Bug

*2026-02-21, version 0.7.66*

Level 3 can’t be unlocked

### 1/5 — Please fix the crashes

*2026-01-17, version 0.7.64*

Idk if it’s just my iPhone, which is newer but holy the amount of times it’s crashed on me since I downloaded it has been immense, and I know you guys just put out an update claiming to fix that, but when my iPhone is frozen for a solid 5 minutes bc of your menus it’s infuriating and makes me not wanna play it even though the game is well designed and charming

### 1/5 — BUGGY

*2025-11-17, version 0.7.38*

My phone has been completely locked out twice now for 5 plus minutes after downloading this.

### 1/5 — New update broke the game

*2025-09-02, version 0.7.19*

Title says it all, traveled to the new zone and now whenever I try to leave the game crashes

### 1/5 — Missing Items

*2025-08-28*

The Christmas Island is bucked, thats the second time that items are missing. One item was like a Bottle for the Workers, i think it was purple and that gave like 100% buff and 50% debuff. The other item was a golden rench, i bought it for 1 Million gifts. I think the problem was that i didnt put the items out of the slot befor the 3 day timer run out. Please give me back those 2 items, i had this problem befor with the same items. I hope you will see my message

**Developer response:** Hey there, did you see my email reply? If you haven't please reach out to hello@tinker-labs.com and I'll be happy to help resolve the issue.

### 1/5 — Made a purchase did not receive nobles

*2025-04-09, version 0.6.56*

I made a purchase of 2.99 for 10 noble coins and did not receive them

### 1/5 — This recent update makes no sense.

*2024-06-15*

Why did you get rid of the Christmas Island, I spent a lot of time on it sense I figured it was the harder version of the first island ( aka it’s just more of a grind) but then you delete to add an island that you have to use the premium currency to even access and to earn said currency you have to watch ads that hardly ever actually give it too you, or trivia which you have to answer correctly three times to earn the currency and if you fail once it’s like hey watch this ad for one last try, and the last way is to use your precious prestige points to earn. Not to mention you get the “opportunity” to earn more coins through ads but it’s such a little amount it’s never worth it. Not to mention the new island can be bought for 6 dollars, which gets you nothing more than the premium currency option other than a “cute” little message, with hearts, about boosting the dev team. Well it seems like yall to a play from Bungie’s book of removing content from the game just to add new content to milk even more money from people. And if you think oh but you don’t have to pay for it, don’t be fooled cause they make money from the ads to earn the premium currency and ads for the extra trivia try. Honestly I wouldn’t have been ticked off if they didn’t remove an island, I would have been like sick a new “3rd” island but no😞. Also you add a new building mechanic to build either residential or business building but failed to explain it to old players, idk if it’s explained to new players. 

Look I don’t want this to be seen as an attack against the devs but as a real critique against the current state of the gaming industry as a whole. It seems devs nowadays have to options to either make a well made product and be loyal to there fan base( where they earn there money), or just become a sellout to earn more money at the expense of the consumer.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Christmas island was a temporary location not compatible with the new building mechanic, and that's why it was removed. The new location can be accessed totally for free without watching ads, you just need to claim the free daily Nobel bonus over the course of a few days, so even if you don't have any nobels, it's only a matter of a few days until you have it unlocked.

The game is currently not earning enough so I'm experimenting with more ways to generate revenue while keeping the game fun. Feel free to reach over discord or hello@tinker-labs.com to help me think of ways in which you think more revenue could be generated while keeping the game fun.
Cheers.

### 1/5 — So lame

*2024-02-03, version 0.4.07*

Christmas level you can’t upgrade to fill your vials fast even after prestige. every time you prestige there is no room to advance. You’d think after a prestige you’d have more room to make your vials fill faster but you max out at the same speed as the last level. This game got so lame. I’m gonna delete it.

### 5/5 — Surprisingly unique

*2026-08-07*

The music is good and original It makes me want to keep the app open.  It is an idle game, but things are moving at such a high rate that you feel like you’re accomplishing quite a bit. Their daily rewards are smartly intertwined with “scientific“ questions.

All things considered, they reinvented the wheel, and this sucker is smooth.

**Developer response:** Glad you liked it. This is pretty much exactly what I tried to achieve. I hope to keep up with more interesting upgrades soon.

### 5/5 — Great Idle Game

*2026-08-04*

I have been enjoying playing this game. I do wish there was just a little more tutorial around adding homes vs businesses or at least a way to see how they are effecting each other or how much I am making from one and the other individually after I have purchased them. 

One other thing, it would be nice to be able to move or adjust scientists and auto bottlers without having to switch locations.

Again like the game! Thanks for making it

### 5/5 — Love This Game!!!

*2026-06-24*

This game is a lot of fun, and it has the same vibe as Soda Dungeon, which I love. There is a decent amount of strategy to this game, and it requires you to experiment a bit. That’s why it feels slow to those who stay on one run. Prestige often and try new things depending on what is tripping you up. 

I wish there was some tutorials for the other areas, they’re kinda confusing, but I’m having a blast on the main map. I love how there isn’t any ads, and that the mayor is available to help you progress a bit quicker. 

I absolutely love this game, can’t wait to see where it goes.

**Developer response:** Glad you like it! A few weeks ago I released the milestone trees that I think give a little bit more guidance but I totally agree that Carbontopia could use a little bit more. I'm hoping to work on that in the coming weeks.

### 5/5 — Great game.

*2026-06-17*

I've only played for about an hour now, but this game does ads like no other. The reward system it uses makes me not mind watching the ads at all. On top of that it's just a fun game in general, with a banger of a soundtrack.

### 5/5 — Chilll

*2026-06-07*

Jeu chill et agréable à jouer

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-05-30, version 0.8.42*

Very interesting, keeps you engaged

### 5/5 — Bweh

*2026-03-06, version 0.7.66*

Lowkey rlly fun for a idle game and the trivia is cool

### 5/5 — Optional ads!

*2026-02-28, version 0.7.66*

Look at my nickname, of course I appreciate this but the game is also good in of itself if you like idle games with different unique mechanics that you wouldn't find anywhere else.

### 5/5 — Devs respond to save issues

*2026-02-28*

After you changed requirements for unlocking desert town it locked it for me and also my auto buyer on the desert town along with it T-T (I’m doomed) (edit: thank you for responding offering to help I was able to obtain it again by unlocking the second or third world once more then everything solved itself thank you for offering the help 5 star title)

**Developer response:** Oh thanks for letting me know! I'd like to help with your particular case, do reach out with your player ID to hello@tinker-labs.com and I'll fix it for you. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Fun Active & Idle

*2026-02-11*

I am enjoying this game a lot more than I thought I would. It’s fun building things up only to tear them all down and start over with more options going forward, and I like the play loop and music.
