### 1/5 — Update

*2025-09-14*

Good game but I have reached the limit….when is it being updated?

### 1/5 — Eigentlich gut

*2024-12-13*

Aber um weiter zu kommen muss man Werbung schauen nicht weil dir Geld oder so fehlt nein eine Aufgabe ist es 1 oder 2 mal Werbung zuschauen oder den Boost zu aktivieren und den kann man nur mit Werbung aktivieren. Anfangs tolles Spiel 4-5 Sterne aber so -2 Stern geht leider nicht.

### 5/5 — update plz

*2024-05-05*

please…

### 5/5 — ベスト

*2024-03-27*

タイクーン系では1番質がいいゲームだと思います
日本語もほぼしっかりしているし(配送料は配送量の間違いだと思いますが)
ただカードの引きがシブいのでなかなかレベルアップできなくて困ることがあります
これ系のゲームではいらないカードを合成して強くできたりしますがこのゲームでは出来ないようですし
課金でも直接カードが貰えるものはないです
それ以外は面白いし無課金でも十分に遊べます
攻略としては星マークの研究を早めに進めていくことと
ラインは最下段を最優先で投資することに気をつけるとサクサク進みます

### 4/5 — I bought the no ads

*2023-06-15, version 1.9.4*

So I will on occasion by the no ads option in a game. $30 was a hefty amount, but honestly it made the game play so much more enjoyable. I’ve been with the game for months.

Yes it’s repetitive. Yes it’s got all kinds of ✨bells and whistles✨ to lock you into wasting time. But honestly that’s what I love about it.

All the fun of sitting at the casino without spending tons of cash. And I can sit and decompress while I binge the same shows I’ve watched a dozen times before.

And once you pay to unlock ads, you end up getting every “watch an ad” bonus too. So that adds up fast. Totally worth it for me.

Enjoy!

P.S. @Dev, hoping for some new main levels soon. You’ve kept me sane for months! Lol

### 1/5 — D업데이트

*2023-06-06*

### 5/5 — Update

*2023-05-25*

### 5/5 — Entretenido

*2023-05-19*

### 3/5 — 早く新マップ求む

*2023-04-01*

全クリしたから春祭りイベ出来ないんだが
