### 1/5 — Support sucks

*2026-08-14, version 3.1.41*

I lost 200 lava stones and 2 forge buckets (among other things). The game freezes all the time and when it does even if I’m logged in it takes stuff from me all the time. I contacted support and after days of fighting they finally gave me back the forge buckets not the 200 lava stones after I already made them so now I spent all that time making more and now have 2 I can’t even use. It’s stupid. Plus you’ll have to watch videos everytime you collect anything you make after a certain level. You’ll also just be playing and random videos pop up. It’s really not worth it. I almost bought the bird and lemur cause they are helpful then all this mess started and I realized I’ll probably never play this game again after all this so I never purchased them. Good luck!

### 2/5 — Ads

*2026-08-04, version 3.1.41*

To many ads

### 1/5 — So Glitchy

*2026-06-23, version 3.1.41*

Almost all of the things I “craft” I have to recraft because the game glitches and it deletes my progress/item. The goals are unclear, you need a cheat page in order to know what you’re even supposed to do. Pointless and annoying.

### 4/5 — Fun but….

*2026-06-16, version 3.1.41*

It is a fun game and I wish that there were better explanations of the puzzles but the one issue I am constantly having is with the crafting hut. Whenever I craft items, and I go to collect them, the game freezes and will not load my items. I have tried closing the game and reopening it, but nothing seems to work. Every once in a while I will get lucky and I can immediately collect my item.

### 2/5 — It’s a pay to win game

*2026-06-07, version 3.1.41*

Edit: Been “playing” this for a while bc I don’t learn my lessons.  One of the necessary challenges includes making 12 clay bricks, which take 2hrs 45 minutes to make each one.  That’s 33 hours minimum for ONE CHALLENGE. But only 11 hours if you pay $20 for the other crafting slots ofc

Ignoring the unskippable ads that pop up at random, it’s a pay to win.  All crafts required for puzzles take anywhere from 45 minutes to 48 hours and you can only make one thing at a time despite puzzles needing 4-5 ingredients.  You can, however, pay $9.99 for each extra slot.  It’s a slog otherwise and is nothing like the games you grew up loving. Sucks

### 5/5 — Love love love

*2026-05-28, version 3.1.41*

It has everything. Been playing last day of work games for a long while and this one is one of the best

### 4/5 — Puzzle

*2026-05-25, version 3.1.41*

I don’t know the puzzles no clues

### 1/5 — Ads

*2026-05-13, version 3.1.41*

You WILL watch an ad to play, an ad to speed up time, an ad to craft, an add every time you open and close the game.

### 1/5 — If I could give negative stars I would

*2026-05-12, version 3.1.41*

Edit after response***
I say the push of microtransactions is one of the things killing this game and yall tell me to buy stuff within the game lol ok then. I just uninstalled it completely. 

I first started playing these games on my laptop in hs back in 2007 so I’ve enjoyed them for a long time. Never dealt with ads or anything like that and I know times change and when you get mobile games people are bound to throw ads in them especially if they’re free but this is just too much. Yall have ads that pop up and can’t be closed out of- either you have to close the entire game and restart it or you’re forced to interact with the ad so the little x appears. The ads and micro transaction push has killed this game.

### 3/5 — Good game

*2026-05-05, version 3.1.41*

It’s a good game but it takes to long to get lava stone and tech points
