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 ### 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 ### 3/5 — Fun game but can’t really enjoy it *2023-01-29* 30 bucks? Really? And the amount of ads is stupid, can’t say I want this game anymore. It’s fun but not 30 bucks fun ### 2/5 — 動かない *2023-01-09* 21%から読み込みが進まない ### 2/5 — A fun idler *2023-01-02* Lots of Ad views needed to progress, but it’s that or pay real money. Unfortunately the Ads keep crashing and need to reset the game. Not my idea of fun. ### 4/5 — Good game *2022-12-24* It is a nice simple games ### 3/5 — Afraid I have to agree *2022-12-20* I like the game a lot and find it charming, such that I would love to pay to get rid of the ads, but spending $30 to get rid of ads in a game – and without any other benefits even bundled with it – would just be too irresponsible. Can't justify it. A shame. Going to have to delete a game I enjoy because watching the ads is just too annoying and getting rid of them is just too expensive. Rock and a hard place. Alas. ### 4/5 — Too many ads *2022-12-07* Too many ads and the remove ads cost 30 dollars freakin joke of a price. ### 5/5 — Download it NOW *2022-12-03, version 1.6.10* Its amazing I love it and son should you! ### 2/5 — This is bull crap you can’t get *2022-11-26* You can’t get any golden hammers or diamonds to level up your character or even lab equipment to level up the equipment this is annoying I mean you have to buy hammers gems and freakin lab equipment it’s not fair should’ve known it was another money hungry persons game ### 2/5 — Pretty dumb *2022-11-25, version 1.6.2* Annoying flashing button printing you to buy the game and remove ads uninstalled games pretty dumb anyway just holds your hand the whole time like watching a scripted show. ### 3/5 — It’s okay *2022-11-23, version 1.6.2* Way too much is unskipable but otherwise it’s okay ### 4/5 — Idioten *2022-11-19* Alle sagen man kommt nur weiter mit Werbung dabei muss man einfach nur Paketboten verbessern und den Schläger ganz oben und schon ist Mann auf Karte eins am Ende ### 5/5 — 絶対課金するな！！ *2022-11-18* 高いマジで課金はするな ### 2/5 — ゲームが開かない。 *2022-11-17* 容量も電波も良好。 なのにゲームの読み込みが 21%から進まず開かない。 内容的にゎ好きだけど ダウンロードしてまだ2回しか 遊べてない… やる気なくしてくる… ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — D업데이트 *2023-06-06* 언제업데이트 되나요 거의 반년째 기다리는중 ### 1/5 — 랭킹1위입니다 *2023-01-02* 이겜 하지마세요 현질해서 돈먹어도보상없고 환불없고최대한무과금으로 즐기세요 ### 1/5 — These are macro-transactions *2022-11-25, version 1.6.2* Keeps shoving a $20 pack every 10 minutes, for $20 I expect to own the whole game. This doesn’t even include removing ads???? ### 1/5 — バランスが悪い *2022-11-13* イベントステージは最初の材料確保の段階が進まず、コンベアに流れるものが無くなります。材料を砕く工程の作業員をレベルアップさせても詰みます。バランス確認してから実装して欲しい。 ### 1/5 — データ消えた…… *2022-11-10* 今日アプリ開いたらデータ消えてた…… ### 1/5 — Fix please *2022-11-01* I’m stuck on the loading screen can’t get past where it says checking internet in very good internet and it won’t load ### 1/5 — Stole my money and wiped my progress *2022-10-24* I bought a micro transaction for an event that was happening. I closed the game to play it later and when I opened it again, my progress was completely wiped. I tried to use the “restore purchase” button in the menu and it acted like I had never purchased anything! I’m very disappointed in the devs for such an oversight. ### 1/5 — Spiel bleibt hängen..,. *2022-10-24* Bei 21% bleibt das Spiel hängen, dann geht nichts mehr. Auch das mehrfache löschen und neu installieren bringt nichts, der Fehler kommt dann immer wieder. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 5/5 — It’s so fun! *2023-06-03* It’s so fun especially the dialogues make me laugh ### 5/5 — Update *2023-05-25* Now finished all challenges lvl 61 needs a good update please otherwise it is a good game ### 5/5 — Entretenido *2023-05-19* Juego fácil de jugar, entretenido y adictivo.🤭🤭 ### 5/5 — Ad reviews misrepresent game *2023-01-14* This game is awesome! The ads are for OPTIONAL bonus rewards, watch if you want but you don’t have to. Give it a shot! ### 5/5 — Extremely fun game! *2023-01-12* I love this game it’s very funny and the story is wonderful! This game is worth having, it’s so enjoyable! ### 5/5 — It’s so fun *2022-12-24* thank you for making this game 😁😄😸😺✌🏻🫶🏻👁🧠👥 ### 5/5 — 簡単 *2022-12-05* 楽、楽しい ### 5/5 — Free Game with Minimal Ads; it’s a miracle! *2022-12-04* Only ads I’ve had so far were optional bonuses and VERY rarely to advance. This alone makes this game a stand out. Quality idle game with a cute charm. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
