### 3/5 — Bullies

*2026-08-18, version 2.10*

Been playing around 9 months. A few crews are just rogues and terrorise most players it’s impossible to progress in the game. Constant attacks outside of pfo events. Getting hit on tiles and generally horrible actions just because they are bigger players from paying into the game. They think they can just be relentlessly cruel. Emailed a number of times to ata but ignored. I’m gunna stop playing if it continues I just moved to new world let’s see how it is here

### 1/5 — Recycled PIMD Content

*2026-05-08, version 2.04*

They are so lazy with this game. All of the avatars you can use/unlock on here are just copy paste from their other game Party In My Dorm.

### 5/5 — Классная игра!

*2026-05-03*

Красивые варианты  мебелировки во время ивэнтов, для меня эта игра как антистресс… Приятный способ подучить Английский) кроме того есть возможность живого общения на английском с людьми со всего мира.

**Developer response:** Привет! Мы очень рады, что вам нравится! Не забудьте ознакомиться с нашими последними событиями и обновлениями — всегда есть что-то новое, что можно открыть для себя. Спасибо за игру!

### 2/5 — Game performance and issues

*2026-04-10, version 2.04*

This game is fine but support team were not efficient with their job. They cant help you with their in-game issue to resolve, they just want you to spend money in the game. Rewards were not enough for you to grow in this game.

### 4/5 — Log Out!

*2026-03-29, version 2.03*

For a game that almost encourages having alternate accounts that are easy to make and heavily benefit your main, it would make sense that the game have something as a simple and obvious as a LOG OUT function! Instead, in order to log out on a device, you HAVE to reset your password. Once that’s reset, the game will automatically log that account out of all devices. It’s so stupid. Give us a simple LOG OUT fiction!

### 4/5 — 2026 O jogo é muito legal traduz para o português Brazil

*2026-03-15*

Traduz para o português por favor ele é muito bom, eu desinstalei pq não tem em português

**Developer response:** Olá, obrigado pelo seu feedback! Sabemos como é importante aproveitar o jogo no seu idioma de preferência. Embora ainda não ofereçamos suporte a todos os idiomas, nossa equipe está sempre analisando novas opções de localização para o futuro. Fique ligado!

### 1/5 — Could be Great, but the bullying is worse on this game than anywhere else! Very toxic environment

*2026-02-09, version 2.02*

The game idea is really good, the game play is ok. The developers are very money hungry, you get very little reward without spending money, and even when you spend money, you will need to spend hundreds to even make any impact on the strength of your account. The events and leaderboards are repetitive, there’s no good balance of power in game, there is like 5 different “cities” (servers) in game and because of how bad they are at managing power balance and bullying you see over 1000+ in one server and 200 in the next! It’s ridiculous. There is no peaceful server to be in, if you complain about bullying they do nothing about it, people have been very harmful to others, such as sharing photos and personal details of others without permission and they will silence the person for a little while but will not ban them. They enjoy taking all of your money but will not look after you or show you are valued as a customer/player, the game could be great but the developers and customer support lets this game down massively…

### 5/5 — Нужен русский язык!

*2025-12-18*

Игра хорошая но не хватает,русского языка

**Developer response:** Здравствуйте, спасибо за ваш отзыв! Мы понимаем, как важно наслаждаться игрой на предпочитаемом вами языке. Хотя мы пока не поддерживаем все языки, наша команда постоянно изучает новые варианты локализации на будущее. Следите за обновлениями!

### 2/5 — 🙃

*2025-12-08*

Very addictive game but as you level up it gets harder and takes 2-10 days to upgrade

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review! Is there any way we can turn this into a 5-star rating? Please send us a feedback message in-game with your feedback. We'd appreciate it, cheers!

### 2/5 — Scammers dream/made my phone freeze

*2025-12-03, version 2.01*

After having this game for less than a day I was messaged  by a person wanting to connect off the app (first message they sent was asking for Snapchat) I’m an adult so I just block them. But who knows how many vulnerable people do give their information away. Secondly I was contacted by another person asking for money so they don’t have to “sell themselves to take care of their kid” along with that my phone froze twice while playing this game. I had to manually shut it down. After the second time I deleted the game and it hasn’t happened since. There’s something off about this game and the software. Which sucks because I did really enjoy playing and the concept of the game but I felt like I was going to be scammed somehow or break my phone if I kept playing.
