Was great at first

Completely unusable now, any time I try to watch ads for rewards it’s just an endless black screen. Glitches out like crazy and makes my phone overheat in 2 minute of playing

Amazing

Can’t fault a single thing about it. The graphics are amazing so is the plot of the game. It uses real Goldberg episodes in the cut scenes. You can gain points even without your device being on! Finally (although there is much more to say) it has side games that you can play battling with other people to get the most points. Get this game! And watch the tv show (The Goldbergs).

I love it

Fun game!

This is a very fun “idle” game! Anyone who is a Goldnerd ( fan of the Goldbergs tv show) will be happy with this game … and even those who aren’t should enjoy playing it! It represents the show and what it is all about very well and is easy to understand/ play. Any issues I have had (well, the one issue in the year I have been playing) have been addressed quickly and with a friendly customer service attitude. Highly recommend playing this game to anyone looking for a fun way to pass the time, as you can be in playing or set things up to run and let it go. Good job well done to the cool kids running things for Goldbergs Back to the 80’s!
Sadly this game has been in a status of “ coming out with more levels soon “ for almost a year now…Pity, was fun to play until it became only the ‘events’ that are playable- and they changed them up so if you don’t pay to play you are a LOT less likely to rank high enough to matter as far as winning anything.
Let us know something Devs- no update, update in a month from now, a year from now…???

Love this game

I’ve been playing since the beginning and this game is great
My only reason it’s not five stars is too many ads
But I will say customer service is extremely helpful, friendly and responsive
I had a glitch and sent them an email and they were all over it. Had a patch the next day and they contacted me to make sure everything was working ok
I’m editing this to 2 stars. The ads have gotten increasingly ridiculous not only a lot longer but you have to push X Then done then X. Then done and so forth Several times now.
NOW I HAVE TO SPEND (MUCH)MORE TIME WATCHING ADS THAN ACTUALLY PLAYING THE GAME Come on people enough is enough
