I have played it a lot. But there needs to be some improvements to the game. Also, can you make it so that we can friend our friends? ### 4/5 — Good game *2025-05-11, version 3.4.4* The game is grate just wish it was better graphics. ### 4/5 — I rate everything four stars *2025-02-23, version 3.4.4* four stars ### 4/5 — Güzel *2025-01-23, version 3.4.4* Oynar oynamaz beni etkiledi ama bazı şeyler pahalı ### 4/5 — Bien *2025-01-22, version 3.4.4* Divertido pero siento que le faltan muchas cosas ### 2/5 — Repetitivo *2024-11-23, version 3.4.4* Un juego interesante pero que se basa en prácticamente en hacer en spam para tener dinero. Los juegos no dan suficiente así que hay que dejar la pantalla presionada durante mucho tiempo para ver algún cambio A diferencia de otros juegos, aquí no hay vips/inversores que te den dinero, más allá de alguna ayuda por parte del juego que cada tantos minutos aparece, pero no es igual. Concepto interesante pero no el desarrollo ### 3/5 — Ads *2024-09-18, version 3.4.4* I paid for no ads but I still get ads😑 ### 4/5 — まあまあ *2024-08-31, version 3.4.4* すぐに飽きた。 ### 3/5 — The picture *2024-08-25, version 3.4.4* The app picture are so weird ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Deleted because of adds *2025-06-20, version 3.4.4* I hate all The adds makes it terrible to play especially when first turning on the game ### 1/5 — Muuuuita propaganda *2025-05-07, version 3.4.4* Infelizmente nem consegui jogar direito pq tem propaganda demais! Elas abrem mais rápido q o próprio jogo. Muito ruim. ### 1/5 — not interesting *2025-05-06, version 3.4.4* after some tome spent game becomes stupid and irritating with ads, also some processes are ignored ### 1/5 — Random ads *2025-04-05, version 3.4.4* Played until it started giving random ads. Uninstalled. If ads are for a reward I’d have no problem but random ads are a thing of the past. 0 stars ### 1/5 — Реклама *2025-01-31, version 3.4.4* Игра очень понравилась но спустя неделю начала вылазить реклама после каждого клика, удалил сразу! ### 1/5 — Experiência prejudicada *2024-12-26, version 3.4.4* É simplesmente um simulador de anúncio, aparecer anúncio até pra abrir um menu é um exagero, o jogo é razoável ainda em questão de qualidade Nunca faço avaliações, mas se alguém desistir de baixar devido ao meu comentário ficarei muito feliz ### 1/5 — No tutorial or task list. *2024-11-08, version 3.4.4* The tutorial was too short and way too basic. It doesn't even explain how to play the game. And there is no task list so I don't know what to do next. I might uninstall it just because of those two reasons. ### 1/5 — Terrible, disgrace to gaming *2024-08-08, version 3.4.4* Lazy and boring game, and ads every 30 seconds. Stay away from this game. I recommend any other game than this garbage ### 1/5 — Кликер *2024-02-17, version 3.4.4* Был бы симулятор, эх ### 1/5 — Forced ad breaks *2024-01-24, version 3.4.4* Forced ad breaks are an instant uninstall. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good but *2025-06-04, version 3.4.4* I wish you could play the game you make so please make it so u can play ur games overall really good game ### 5/5 — Top *2025-05-29, version 3.4.4* Adorei ! Parabéns !!! Jogo incrível ### 5/5 — Alright for a mobile game *2025-03-19, version 3.4.4* Not much to say just your average mobile game with a slight twist alright for relaxing ### 5/5 — Too many adds *2025-03-02, version 3.4.4* Too many adds I would get an add like every 2 or 1 minute ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-02-13, version 3.4.4* I really like this game because of all of the possibilities you can make like for me I made a game named fartnite and people have loved and really just a good tycoon game 5 stars ### 5/5 — Dobra gra *2025-01-06, version 3.4.4* Gra sama w sobie niezla i dluga, zamim dotrzesz do najwyzszego poziomu troche ci to zajmie. Brakuje mi wiekszego rozbudowania i rozszerzenia funkcji tworzenia gier ale naprawdę dobra produkcja. ### 5/5 — 👍 *2025-01-02, version 3.4.4* Muito bom ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2024-12-27, version 3.4.4* Epic game but it would be nice to be able to play the games that I made #awsome ### 5/5 — Try *2024-09-22, version 3.4.4* Fun ### 5/5 — Nice *2024-08-19, version 3.4.4* Really good --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
