### 2/5 — Has potential

*2026-03-02, version 186*

- need notifications for when Lab research is done. 
- I wish every few Ads watched gave a permanent increase to game speed. Also stackable, so if I watched tons of ads I’d get multiple speed increases.

### 1/5 — Fake

*2025-12-24, version 182*

Nothing like the adds

### 1/5 — พัฒานาช้ามากๆ

*2025-11-27, version 182*

เกมต้องใช้เวลาในการเล่นนานมากๆ ฟาร์มเงิน ฟาร์มไอเทม ดูโฆษณาเยอะมาก สายฟรี น่าเบื่อ สายเติม ราคาเติมก็ถือว่าสูงมาก 
การอัพเกรดแต่ละอย่าง ใช้เวลานาน แล้วผลที่ได้คือ หน้าตาเกมเดิมๆ ไม่มีอะแปลกใหม่ ฟาร์ม วน เจอแต่หน้าเกมเดิมๆ คือฟาร์มวนอย่างนั้น
น่าเบื่อมาก

### 1/5 — Game error

*2025-10-29, version 181*

at 30 October 2025

### 2/5 — Purchases

*2025-10-18, version 180*

Game charges more than it says, for example it says 9.99 and charges 11

### 2/5 — P2w

*2025-10-14, version 180*

El juego es muy pay to win, es imposible pasar la primera dificultad sin hacer millones de progresos o metiendo dinero, es super tardado y las mejoras van mal.

### 1/5 — Ad that won’t exit.

*2025-09-19, version 180*

Whatever ads pop up do not close and keep going.  Game deleted good luck to those that play.

### 1/5 — Copy game

*2025-08-23, version 179*

Direct copy from idle the tower

### 1/5 — Scammed out of 12.99$

*2025-08-03, version 178*

I purchased the no adds feature for the amount written above and got charged for the complete amount but literally didn’t get anything in return. Developers are happy to take your money without doing anything in return. Currently still filing reports against the game studio to get my money back along with solutions to this problem.

### 5/5 — 通關金幣

*2025-07-15, version 178*

通關後金幣假如有20.00C結果看完廣告直接對半砍變10.00c麻煩看一下
