### 3/5 — Great game, TOO many ads

*2026-05-23*

The game is fantastic, truly enjoyable but your flow and fun is thrown off constantly by the barrage of ads every few minutes. I understand that developers have to make money somehow, but ruining the game flow is not the best way. I’m unsure if I will keep playing this when multiple other similar games just don’t have the ads like this does.

### 4/5 — What happened?

*2024-05-13*

I’ve played this games off and on for close to a decade. There were never so many adds. I always watch the adds for the bonuses, but now you’ve added FULL adds, (no skipping! Not a single one). So I watch an add for a bounces, 30 seconds afterwards I have to watch another full add! Then about every 2 to 3 minutes, another full add. So now my bonus time is interrupted constantly with more adds. This has been one of my favorite games to play, because it has creative freedom. 

Congratulations I guess. You’ve sold out and become worse then the add farm games. At least you can skip majority of those. Please fix this!!

### 3/5 — Good but with bugs

*2023-10-16*

The game itself is great but even I watch the annoying adds the 2x bonus isn’t granted. Would be great to solve this bug (not assuming it’s by intention).

### 2/5 — Ads, Ads, Ads

*2023-10-01*

The number of ads is innumerable. And you’ll be playing and ur play is constantly interrupted with intrusive ads. They don’t even wait til you pause. I like the game but I’m not playing to watch ads every 3 mins. I’ll find another game. I hate ads.

### 4/5 — Tropical paradise

*2023-09-10*

Lovely game, one you can relax with and enjoy

### 3/5 — не работает на Мак ОС

*2023-07-23*

Почините: на Мак Ос Ventura (13.4.1 ) появляется черный экран и все, дальше нечего не грузиться и непоявляется

### 3/5 — Nicht so besonders

*2023-07-02*

Das Geld einsammeln kann jeder. Bei mehreren Inseln werden die Einwohner/Arbeiter zusammen gezählt, dass ist nicht gut. Für jede Insel wäre optimal, es irritiert.

### 5/5 — Like it lots

*2022-11-23, version 1.6.2*

Really like that I can build at my pace. Pop up ads are short and not extremely often.

### 5/5 — RoRo

*2022-11-14, version 1.6.2*

تجنن مره غيرت جوي اللعبة

### 1/5 — Можно не скачивать

*2025-09-10*

Игра похожа на компьютерную тропико, но в этой деньги копятся очень медленно, если закроешь приложение - они не копятся, то есть надо сидеть, ждать и собирать их по экрану. Здания строятся очень медленно. Можно все это ускорить за донаты, но зачем? Потратить кучу денег, сделать пару нажатий на экран, а потом опять сидеть ждать? Абсолютно бессмысленно.

### 1/5 — The amount of …

*2024-05-17, version 1.8.0*

Pop up ads are so annoying

### 1/5 — Unstoppable

*2023-09-17*

The last 13 times I’ve watched ur silly ad and the last, um, 13 times, you didn’t double squat. Is this ur idea of a joke? When are you gonna answer me?

### 1/5 — Pop up that won’t go away

*2023-04-10, version 1.7.0*

It an OK game, but I get a pop ad that I can’t get of.  It’s not worth the effort.

### 1/5 — Bugs

*2020-07-06*

Would be a great game but one bug after another ruins it, at moment can’t access daily rewards or ongoing rewards...also can’t look at building progress, was going to buy more gold but why bother so frustrating.

### 1/5 — Like game but

*2019-05-03*

I actually like game but i keep getting interrupted my constant adds like interrupting gameplay and automatically goes to advertising video, obtrusive and keeps happening. I might have to delete game.

### 1/5 — Worst game ever

*2019-05-01*

Stupid game glitches like crazy. Don’t download it.

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2019-01-07*

It would be a great game but all you do every 5 seconds is watch ads all the way through the whole game, you do not get a break not even for 1 minute and I’m not exaggerating 
, it is totally hopeless to get in and play in peace...A GREAT BIG SHAME AS UT COULD HAVE BEEN AA GREAY GAME....BUT TOO MONEY HUNGRY WITH THE ADS.....🥵

### 1/5 — How can a player stay engaged in the game with so few choices?

*2018-03-23*

I finally unlock all the islands. The last one, Barren Beaches, has NOTHING to build on the sand until level 77. I am on level 63. This is extremely disappointing as it takes a long time to level up. 
What is the point of having 9 distinct islands with little variation of commercial, housing, and decorations? I have tried to make each island unique but the choices for buildings for each type of terrain are out of balance. There are many choices for beaches but only 2 islands have beaches. Island Barren Beaches has lots of sand but none of the buildings designated for beaches can be built on this island. 
If you like building games, don't play this one.

**Developer response:** Hi Emma,
 
When you progress ahead in the game, you will find that the buildings, which you have constructed earlier using ‘Gold’ can be constructed again using in-game ‘Cash’ or it could be built on different soils which you can see in the background of the building depending on your level.
