3 issues
  • The economy design of this game is not real nor balanced. You will have to watch ads to upgrade to continue the game. Forcing watching ads deserves a lowest rating.
  • A good idle game that goes nowhere. The repetitive feeling sets in very quickly.
  • One in particular is when you've saved enough cash to open a new facility and you watch the ad to fast forward the build time, after that add it doesn't build the facility and you've lost all that cash. Really annoying.
