I feel like the upgrades aren’ effective as they should be as when u upgrade something it feels like it didn’t upgrade much for how expensive they can get. One thing I very much like about the game is there are no forced ads. Yes after every round there is an ad u can choose to watch and every once in a while in the middle of a game something will pop up and mess up the round. The game concept itself is a 5/5 star but with these issues makes it 3/5 for me. Still a really fun game and I recommend it ### 3/5 — Fix your ads *2022-09-08, version 1.3.06* Ads don’t give me the rewards it shows me please can you fix that it’s really annoying ### 4/5 — Jogo legal, mas com alguns bugs *2022-07-01* Jogo bem divertido, mas ainda possui alguns bugs que atrapalham a qualidade da experiência. Mesmo ao obter legendary blueprints elas não aparecem nas suas blueprints e não são devidamente desbloqueadas, é como se nunca tivessem sido achadas. ### 4/5 — iOS switch controls *2021-06-26, version 1.3.05* The app seems to mess with iOS switch controls so I can’t just make a recipe to smith as fast as possible. Still good didn’t get to a part where I would need it I’m just lazy ### 5/5 — So good *2021-04-14, version 1.3.05* This game is really good everybody should like it I’m happy that the creators made this game it’s really really really fun so thumbs up for that ### 4/5 — Are there bugs that need to be fixed? *2021-04-11, version 1.3.05* I’ve been playing this game for a long while. My smith level is 491, I have forged 552/680 items, I have prestiged so many times that I’m three away from the achievement, and I have upgraded relics to the max so that legendary, mythic, and epic chests appear. I have 22 blueprints left to get and they are all in these 3 types of chest. But even after the upgrades they don’t appear. Can you please throw is more of these chests so that it can at least be possible to complete the game? On another note it says that there are 13 Easter eggs but I’ve only found 12. For the life of me I can’t figure out the last one. Does it have something to do with completing the game? Thank you and I hope you take this into consideration. ### 4/5 — It’s pretty fun, but a couple of issues popped up *2021-01-28, version 1.3.04* I got the game earlier today and already I’m enjoying much of the aspects of the game. The different items, upgrading them so that they are worth more, upgrading your gear, etc. I find myself a big fan of these types of games so already I can say I’d be playing something like this in the long run. My only thing is that I notice a couple of “bugs” that I would like to address (maybe not bugs, but something that would confuse myself as well as others if not clarified properly). Firstly, does the oven temp change at all from the starting value? I’ve gotten it upgraded to lvl 6 currently, and knowing the kind of gear I’m trying to make, it should be easy to get the simple ones and work on the harder ones right away. Instead, I’m finding myself in a loop of creating 15-25+ items all at a moderate price point because the oven won’t start higher. Not sure if a bug or not, but would be good to know if it does change or not. Secondly, it involves the use of ads for refueling. Since buying the care package, it said there would be no more ads to have to watch. Did that not include the refueling screen as well? I’d like to think there could be another mini game of sorts as well as spending the 50 crystals to get the refuel option rather than sit through the ad. By stating that it would remove all ads, I assumed it would do that as well for the refuel portion. Let me know if I’m wrong... Overall, I’m liking the game and what it has in store. Curious to see what the end game will look like and if there’s potential for growth with this storyline. Thanks for all your work! ### 4/5 — the gnome *2021-01-24, version 1.3.04* the only thing i that i don’t understand in the game is the gnome if you explained how you collect the little gnome thing running around this game would be absolutely perfect your game is amazing its just that gnome ### 3/5 — Restart? *2020-11-28, version 1.3.02* Is there a way to restart my progress on the game I haven’t played in a while and would like to restart. ### 5/5 — Best Game *2020-11-23, version 1.3.02* Ok I have seen some pretty good games inside my life but none of them are even a grain of sand compared to the marvel that this game is. This game is the best and most fascinating game I have ever seen. I rate this 5/5 stars I wish I could rate it 100000/5 stars because of how good the game is. There is not a single thing you could do to make this game better because I don’t think a game can get better than this. This game makes me happy when I am sad all it take is to just think about the game and then I am instantly happy. Thank you for making the best game the god of all games😁😁😁😁😁😁😁 ### 5/5 — Amazing but needs easier auto farm *2020-11-01, version 1.3.02* I love this game and I just got it today and I already have two epics. This game is addicting and fun for idle-game fans. Only thing it needs is for it to have like you average power per second is your idle farm speed. That’s it it’s amazing.Thank you for making it. ### 5/5 — What does air-O-smith do? *2020-10-29, version 1.3.02* I just got him today and can’t seem to figure out what high note does, and there aren’t any forums or wiki articles that can tell me. ### 4/5 — Pretty good game *2020-10-07, version 1.3.01* I just installed the game and can clearly tell that this is a good game. It has quickly became a favorite because it lets me relax and sometimes laugh. If you like tapping games this is definitely a good one and best yet it doesn’t force ads on to you. ### 5/5 — Good *2020-09-05, version 1.3.01* Good ### 5/5 — Great game *2020-08-20, version 1.3.0* This is a great game because it dosent spam you with ads every 3 seconds Plz play you will have FUN ### 4/5 — Great game *2020-08-13, version 1.3.0* Grind is real. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — In app purchases *2026-03-30, version 1.3.06* There is still no available way to restore any purchases from this game, I’ve tried everything possible so far ### 1/5 — Buying any item in here is supposed to prevent ads *2023-11-05, version 1.3.06* Well not only does it not work every little thing is set up to only make you pay.

Seems like a cash grab ### 1/5 — Dreist so viel Werbung anzuzeigen *2016-07-12* Wer Werbung schauen will neben bei kann es sich holen , aber vom Prinzip ist es spaßig und empfehlenswert , wie soll es unterwegs sein ?

I used to adore this game and I am getting back into it I could see why I put so many hours on this game. The fact that it is still updating in 2021 is insane. Many developers gave up but you didn’t! You guys stuck with it all the way through till the end! 😊 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
