Ads are optional which is nice to see. You can expand quite quickly, however once you unlock all free islands (there is a large paid island) the game gets a lot slower. There isn’t much content near end game which may cause players to fall off. Only issue I’ve had so far is that it seems idle resource generation doesn’t match expected output. For example, I’m generating 1.76k concrete per second, after 35 minutes I only generated 1M concrete. If I’m correct that’s only approximately 476 concrete per second when idling out of app. TLDR, could use more end game content and idle generation needs some attention to be corrected, but overall great game ### 4/5 — Nice but one small issue *2026-07-04, version 1.0.60* So i just started playing and this game is amazing its just the fact that the area to build is so small so you cant really have indivisual contraptions for certain things and the road auto connect so what im trying to say is developers could you please make it so we can deaw the roads instead of having them auto connect ### 3/5 — No end game *2026-05-16, version 1.0.60* The game is fine but it really feels unfinished. The cracks start to show with gravel pits/glass. Everything late game need incredible amounts of glass and thus incredible amounts of gravel, basically meaning youre doing nothing but boosting glass and power to make more glass for the last half of the game. ### 3/5 — Unfinished and oppressive *2026-04-29, version 1.0.60* I like that ads aren’t forced on you in this game, however they supplement that by making the game incredibly inconvenient for f2p players. I have “finished” the game, there is no end goal or achievement, you just stop unlocking stuff, it feels unfinished. Also after beating the game you’re still too poor to remove all of the obstacles because they just expect you to spend money at some point. The game has a fun design puzzle but gets stale quickly due to the lack of content ### 2/5 — 倍々ゲー *2026-04-01* 序盤はまだまともに思えるが、後半からは同じ施設レベル1で1個生産するのに素材が64個必要…のようなものが連続で出てくる。 施設レベルを上げれば多少マシになるが、大半がゲームを触る時間より待ってる時間になる。 ### 4/5 — Amazing! *2026-03-06, version 1.0.60* Very fun game dosnt feel forced with adds and feels real simple and fun ### 2/5 — Ads *2026-02-08, version 1.0.60* So many ads!! ### 5/5 — 最高 *2026-02-05* 自動化ライン考えんの楽しい ### 3/5 — It’s okay *2026-01-30* The game doesn’t have intrusive ads, but it does have a lot of optional ads which are just annoying. I’d be happy to spend like, $20 to get ads removed permanently and just be able to grab ship bonuses every hour or something, but as it is right now the game is just okay with unwanted monetisation. As for direct gameplay, the fact cables and roads can’t share spaces or even being able to upgrade roads into having cable doubles is a bit lame. There’s also an issue with resource tiles being stuck behind other resources and roads not being able to get to them. Would be nice if there was something like a Dock that could be built on a coast, and it allows network connections to other Docks. Docks could connect to roads and therefore warehouses, allowing these isolated resources to be exploitable. ### 5/5 — Like it *2026-01-23, version 1.0.60* I like it and it reminds me of a game I used to play as a kid. I play it in my past time and I would like to see more things into it in bigger islands, but it is still a really fun game to play. ### 5/5 — ADDICTIVE! *2026-01-16* I absolutely love this game. I’ve already spent a while on it despite getting it yesterday….. I saw one other person mention a lack of animations which I agree with however doesn’t make a massive difference. Would just be nice to see stuff like the hydro plants moving water about etc. and cables shining and moving things around. Also I wish you could deselect cables/roads too to make it look a bit nicer! I recommend this game but be prepared to spend a while on it!! ### 5/5 — Glitch *2026-01-16* Game was just getting fun, built the steel mill, it said that I didn’t have enough coal throughput resource to run the mill. Leveled up coal throughput multiple times, deleted things and built way more coal, deleted the mill and built it in a different place. Ensures that my per second throughput was well above the required 4/p/s required by level 1 steel mill. The game still said I didn’t have enough coal to run the mill. Sad, I was having fun. ### 5/5 — Save *2026-01-10, version 1.0.60* ITS BENN THREE YEARS SINCE I WAS ABLE TO GET MY SAVE DATA AND I FINALLY GOT IT BACK ### 5/5 — Very nice *2025-12-28, version 1.0.60* It’s a simplistic game. Doesn’t take too long to beat. You can beat it within a week. I’d love to see more upgrades and quests. ### 5/5 — Chill fun *2025-12-14, version 1.0.60* Still new to the game but it’s nice and relaxing will slightly less marketing pressure. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I’d love to play it, but… *2026-08-02, version 1.0.60* It loads and runs for 3 seconds, then freezes. Maybe the developers can fix it. ### 1/5 — Bad data design *2026-01-21, version 1.0.60* No banlance between the resources ### 1/5 — 코인수급이 너무안됨 *2026-01-18* ㄹㅇ ### 1/5 — where are the irons？ *2026-01-13, version 1.0.60* only woods and stones ### 1/5 — The worst mandatory ads I’ve ever seen. *2025-12-20, version 1.0.60* Unlocking a new island means there’s 10-20 new mandatory ads you need to watch. It’s 30 seconds video ads with an add 15 seconds advertisement after the initial 30 seconds. ### 1/5 — At the beginning seem interesting *2025-11-27* At the beginning it seems interesting, but after a while (2-3 days) you can see the developers have run out of ideas and just added ridiculous, impossible quotas that would take months to complete (Who want to play a boring game for just watch ads) ### 1/5 — Ads ads and more ads *2025-07-21* From a relatively gentle and helpful tutorial, the game turns into an ad-invested mess. Pay premium currency or watch SIX ads the activate the lighthouse. Pay premium currency or watch three ads to drain the swamp for the next production. The game is generic and the ads are obnoxious. Avoid. ### 1/5 — p2w carbon copy of a free incremental game *2025-06-06, version 1.0.60* game name: endless expansion ### 1/5 — Synchronisieren *2025-05-06* Ich kann mein spielstand nicht aufs iPad laden, Game Store ist verbunden aber spielstand lädt nicht ### 1/5 — Ad farm *2024-05-20* If you like watching terrible App Store ads then this game is for you. The base gameplay is really boring. The gameplay loop is slowed down so much to incentivise you clicking on ads for speed ups. This isn’t really about optimising your production chain to get peak efficiency, it’s just a boring, mindless grind. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Bitte Uptades *2026-08-14* Das ist wirklich ein sehr besonderes Spiel. Einfach Klasse kann nur positiv berichten aber ich hab das Spiel fast durchgespielt und es braucht neue Dinge ( Updates ) Ansonsten Top ### 5/5 — 楽しいです *2026-07-19* 工場建築というより、リソース管理ゲームです。 風車で電気を作って、電気を使って石を掘り、石を使って……とどんどん生産が連鎖していきます。 新しい施設を作ると前のどこかが赤字になるのでそこを増やし、やりくりしていくゲームです。 かなり楽しい。 バグで、いつの間にか効率が-7億2800万の施設ができており、毎秒100Mの電力消費が発生していました。 もうバグ修正は行われていなそうですが、ここに報告しておきます。 ### 5/5 — 오랫동안 찾아다녓어요 *2026-07-08* 어릴때 너무 재밋게 햇던 기억이 있었어서 2년정도 계속 찾아다녔는데 못찾앗엇거든요 지식인도 올리고 저번주에는 지피티랑 두시간전도 토론햇어요 사실 안드로이드에만 있다거나 제작자가 삭제햇다거나.. 오늘 마침 추천탭에 떳네요 드디어 찾앗슺니다 자원뿐만아니라 에너지발전도 가능하다는게 큰 장점인거 같아요 전에는 갈수록 자원이 없어서 지웠던거 같은데 이번에는 좀 오래 유지해볼게요! ### 5/5 — Nice game *2026-07-05* Fun game, enough challenge without being too difficult. One request for the devs, could you make the icons a bit more different? It’s hard to tell them apart ### 5/5 — Goated free Game! 1 of a kind *2026-06-28, version 1.0.60* After you reach a certain point you should get more and more islands as a reward ❤️ If this was implemented the sky is the ceiling ### 5/5 — Хочу продолжение!! *2026-06-25* Игра успокаивающая, тренирует мышление и стратегию, но хотелось бы новый мир например, с новыми материалами!!! ### 5/5 — И *2026-05-27* Очень приятная игра ### 5/5 — 일 하는사람을 추가하면 좋겠어요 *2026-04-19* 게임이 생각보다 재밌고 시간 때우기 좋은 거 같아요 처음에는 할 일?이 좀 많은데 게임을 오래하다보면 더 이상 할게 없어요 일하는 사람을 추가하면 좋겠어요 거기에 래벨올리는것도 있고 일 효율을 높이고 먹을 것도 집도 있으면 좋을거 같고 섬도 더 늘렸으면 좋겠어요 ### 5/5 — 面白かった *2026-02-25* 素材のところから工業ラインを作るのが楽しかったです！ ### 5/5 — 作業ゲーの極み *2026-02-10* 作業が大好きな人、暇つぶしにオススメです。意外とすんなり進んでいくのに、ちゃんと作業しないといけないこの感じ、結構楽しいです。 リアル時間がかかるというデメリットもつきますが、ほぼ気にならないくらいなので、作業大好き人間からしたらほぼゼロに等しいかと思われます。 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
