### 1/5 — Ошибка в игре

*2026-07-12*

Не могу перейти в новую эру, все зоны улучшены до максимума. Прошу ответа разработчиков

### 2/5 — Ads and AI

*2026-06-05, version 9.12*

Some Missions require you to watch ads for boosts, please remove them. The Ai art of the  young girl is very weird and not fitting at all please remove it and hire a real artist.

### 3/5 — Ошибка в игре

*2026-05-05*

В 1900 если сначала купить улучшение на х8000 цену хлопка, а потом х40 (или сколько там, не помню, предшествующее улучшение), то скрипт ломает цену: вместо увеличения имеющегося числа ХХХаа он сбрасывает его в ХХХТ

### 5/5 — )

*2026-04-06*

Безумно интересная игра, одно удовольствие, принудительной рекламы нет что очень радует, залип на трое суток, желаю дальнейшего развития разработчикам, 5+

### 5/5 — Жду новых уровней!

*2026-03-27*

Игра не нагромождена разной ерундой, всё просто и интересно!Реклама есть, но ее можно не смотреть, принудительно не включается. Самая увлекательная игра за последнее время. Играю 3 дня подряд, а не 1 час, как в другие, и потом удаляю. Единственная проблема, что быстро разряжается планшет, нужна оптимизация.

### 5/5 — Обновления

*2026-03-25*

Добрый день! 
Хорошая игра, но нет новых уровней и возможности играть. Когда выйдут новые уровни?

### 1/5 — Boring

*2026-03-06, version 1.89*

If you like watching adverts or paying to do the same thing every level then this is the game for you. Gameplay is painfully slow, but the adverts are plentiful. 

Don’t bother, watch paint dry instead. 

The only positive is that it doesn’t crash.

### 4/5 — Great game but has some issues

*2025-10-28*

Overall, I love the game. However, you don’t get enough gems. Even watching the 5 adds for chests. Between upgrading cards and the costs to get auto and getting chests it’s too much.

### 2/5 — Too buggy

*2025-09-08, version 1.79*

So many little mistakes, like iron mines being called farms. Multiple trucks not working. Cards not named helpfully. Feels unfinished.

### 3/5 — Advance to next level

*2025-07-03*

Level 2 says you need to get luxury line to 65 to be able to advance to the 3rd level (1900). I have mine at 158 and it still won’t let me advance.
