BRUH

it still doesn’t work. I tried to load, but it says could not load, but it did have a different screen on my phone if you fix it, I could actually give it a real review. It just says cannot load view pls fix soon

Spiel startet nicht mehr

Eigentlich hat alles soweit gut funktioniert teilweise kann man die Maschinen schwer bewegen es bugt oft. Sonst geht alles bitte weitere Updates!

Response from developer

Danke für deine Rückmeldung und die Unterstützung! Es tut mir leid, dass das Spiel bei dir nicht mehr startet und das Bewegen der Maschinen hakt. Version 1.5.4 ist inzwischen verfügbar und enthält Verbesserungen an der Bedienung und beim Platzieren von Maschinen. Ob sie dein Startproblem behebt, kann ich aus der Bewertung noch nicht sagen. Falls der Start nach dem Update weiter scheitert, schreib mir bitte an support@bruniqo.de mit deinem Gerätemodell, der iOS-Version und ob du einen schwarzen Bildschirm oder eine Fehlermeldung siehst. Bitte lösche die App oder deinen Spielstand vorerst nicht. Auch ein kurzes Beispiel, welche Maschine sich schwer bewegen lässt, hilft bei der Eingrenzung.

NO ADS

Cmon this game is not that good for ads. The game can’t go full screen with ads. The bottom 1/8th of the screen is black and then an ad pops up. Also I don’t want to see how the top left section of the screen all the time. I could care less to see hay load, remaining, and research next. I’d rather o see more of the game. Along with account and credits. Put it someone else smaller. Make it so I can easily sell hay with one button rather than 2 taps.

Also can’t place any machines or power. The workshop / build menu blocks it’s. I can see the machine outline in green but can’t place it.

Looks fun. No ads.

Response from developer

Thanks for the detailed feedback, Shaun. I'm sorry the workshop panel stopped you placing machines and so much of the screen was taken up by the interface. Version 1.5.4 is now available: Build and Rotate have fixed controls at the bottom, the status column can be collapsed, and hay and finds can be sold at the dealer with one tap. I've also noted your feedback about the banner and the space it takes up. If building is still blocked after updating, please send your device model and a screenshot to support@bruniqo.de so I can look into the exact layout.

Absolutely dogshi

This has gotta be the worst game I’ve ever played, ever. If I had to choose between watching paint dry or playing this game, I would choose watching paint dry every single time. It’s so glitchy; the sensitivity is so low that you can’t even turn fast enough to do what you wanna do. There are just so many buttons on the screen that you can barely see anything you’re doing, and not to mention you move so, so, so slow. It looks like a 5-year-old made this. If I could give it negative stars, I absolutely would. Honestly, just do everyone a huge favor and remove this “game” from the AppStore.

Response from developer

I'm sorry the game felt so frustrating to control. The crowded screen, slow turning and sluggish movement are specific problems, and I appreciate you spelling them out. Version 1.5.4 simplifies the controls, lets you collapse the status column and includes improvements to movement in online farms. I can't tell from your review whether that resolves the sensitivity issue on your device. If you try the update and it still feels too slow, please send your device model and whether you were playing solo or online to support@bruniqo.de.

Schlechtes Design

Es gibt keine vernünftige Einführung Steuerelemente werden von Texten überdeckt und können dadurch nicht mehr verwendet werden also Spiel ist unspielbar

Response from developer

Danke für die klare Rückmeldung. Dass Texte die Steuerung verdecken, ist ein Fehler, den wir beheben. Seit 1.5.2 ist der Suchplatz weg und Heu geht direkt zum Händler, seit 1.5.3 führt der Guide weiter, und das nächste Update bringt Wegweiser zu Zielen, Maschinen und Forschung. Wenn du uns sagst, welches iPhone du nutzt und wo die Texte lagen, finden wir die Stelle schneller: support@bruniqo.de.
