The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, who report an overwhelming number of intrusive ads that disrupt gameplay, often requiring players to watch lengthy, unskippable ads after nearly every action. Many players express frustration with the game's energy system, which limits playtime and encourages in-app purchases to continue playing without interruptions. While some acknowledge the necessity of ads in free games, the consensus is that the frequency and intrusiveness of the ads make the game nearly unplayable, leading to a negative overall experience.
“I love the game so much that I paid for no ads and forever energy.”
“Reasonable price for no ads too: $1.49.”
“Good game until it forces in-app purchases if you want to progress.”
“I understand there's a paid version without ads and they have to make a profit somehow, but this is ridiculous.”
“The ads are so intrusive that you actually have to pay to remove them, which is idiotic.”
“It's unfortunate because this is a great game, but the ads are just unrelenting.”

Overall, the graphics of the game are widely praised for their quality and aesthetic appeal, with many users highlighting the beautiful visuals and special effects. However, some players express frustration with the game's interface and the overwhelming presence of ads, which detracts from the overall experience. Despite these issues, the graphics remain a standout feature that enhances the gameplay for many users.
“Amazing special effects graphics; the game concept is so good and out of this world. I've been playing this game for months and it is ultimately the best game on the Play Store.”
“The graphics are great, but I have some problems to note.”
“I love this so much because the graphics are amazing and it's a very cool game.”
“However the wave of ads and the push for better graphics (why should I need to take a look at the globe five times a minute?) effectively kill the fun.”
“I mean seriously though the graphics are better; I think I prefer the older version more because at least it was free and fun.”
“I feel that without the visuals this game is pointless.”

The gameplay is generally praised for its creativity and engaging mechanics, but it is severely hampered by an overwhelming number of ads and restrictive energy systems that disrupt the flow and enjoyment of the game. Many players find the frequent interruptions from ads and the need to wait or pay to continue playing frustrating, leading to an overall perception that the game is unplayable without spending money. While the core gameplay is considered fun and addictive, the monetization strategies detract significantly from the experience.
“The gameplay is actually incredible.”
“Don't get me wrong, the gameplay is fantastic and the puzzles do require tons of thinking.”
“This game shouldn't be criticized for its gameplay because it's great!”
“It's clear the artificial barriers don't add to the gameplay, just a way for the devs to get whales to pay to go far.”
“The utterly ridiculous amount of ads, constant barrage of requests to purchase in-game items, and 'divine glow' mechanic (which requires you to watch an ad, spend money, or wait in order to keep playing) make this one of the worst excuses for a free mobile game I've ever seen.”
“Falls into the horrible trope of mobile gaming where it locks you out after 2 minutes of gameplay and forces you to either wait to play a game you just downloaded, watch an advertisement, or pay them actual money just to play a free game.”

The game's story is generally praised for its engaging concept and enjoyable quests, with many players appreciating the graphics and voice acting. However, frustrations arise from the limitations imposed by energy systems, microtransactions, and frequent ads, which detract from the overall experience and hinder players' ability to fully engage with the narrative. While the storyline has potential, the execution is marred by technical issues and a lack of accessible content, leading to mixed feelings among users.
“It was incredible, good graphics, and a good storyline. Even though there were some minor glitches, it was still really good.”
“I 😍 this game, really good and has a great story.”
“The whole thing is super fun, the quests are great when you're out of energy (so I anxiously await any new ones!) and the artifacts are a real challenge.”
“It's the fact that I would find a quest item, like figuring out what swamp was, and then tell me I'd get 12 energy for finding it, then watching an ad to get double and then not receive a single energy point.”
“Sold out to the typical game market with 'divine glow' and missions; I would be much more likely to pay for the original than this crap.”
“Annoyed and not purchasing the full game simply because I think this is a plot to make you purchase the full game.”

The game's stability is a significant issue, with numerous users reporting frequent freezes, crashes, and glitches that often require them to restart their devices.

Overall, the game's stability issues overshadow its positive aspects, making it difficult for many to enjoy.
“It ran great before that, with no glitches or anything that I am aware of.”
“When I try to open it up, it either 1) freezes my entire phone so that I have to take my battery out to reboot or 2) the game only opens to the home screen and then freezes and says the game has stopped responding.”
“The game freezes and won't let me play after the last update.”
“It opened fine but as soon as I try to make another element, it freezes and shuts itself down, so I would not download this game if I were you!”

The music in the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with players frustrated by intrusive ads and glitches that prevent them from stopping the soundtrack. While some initially enjoyed the cute music, the experience quickly soured due to technical issues, including a persistent audio track that continues even when the game is closed. Overall, the music system has been a significant deterrent for many users, leading to game deletions and complaints about its functionality.
“Nicely made..the soundtrack keeps haunting me till now.”
“It starts off with cute music, then I saw there might be options for other music; I was curious to see what else there might be.”
“There's just a blank screen with a song in the background but nothing happens.”
“The music system pissed me off so bad that it was what made me decide to delete the game.”
“It starts off with cute music, then I saw there might be options for other music. I was curious to see what else there might be, so I tapped it and suddenly it's like a radio station with ads playing and you can't get rid of it!”
“There's even ads in the music!”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessively tedious, primarily due to frequent interruptions that force them back to the homepage after creating new elements, as well as the cumbersome quest and challenge system that limits energy. Many express frustration with the intrusive ads that detract from the overall enjoyment, making the game feel more like a chore than a fun experience. Overall, while the game has potential, the grinding mechanics and ad interruptions significantly hinder player satisfaction.
“It's a really good game, but I wish there was infinite energy. I know you can get infinite energy, but it's really tedious at times doing the quests and challenges. It's probably why the real game costs money; it probably has infinite energy.”
“Read some reviews complaining about ads and thought surely it's not that bad; I can play it offline. Turns out the ads make the game unplayably tedious, and you can't even play offline. It's such a shame that good games are ruined not by having ads in them (I accept that the devs are providing a free version and need some income) but by the ads becoming a higher priority than enjoyment.”
“And instead of staying on the element creation menu, once you create a new element, you are brought back to the home menu of the earth, prompting you to tediously keep going back to the element creation menu to continue the one part of the game people actually want to play.”

The optimization of the game is severely hindered by a prevalent bug known as the "dealkiller," which triggers multiple Dell ads to play simultaneously in the background, leading to significant performance drops and crashes. Users are calling for improvements to enhance overall performance and eliminate these disruptive issues.
“The dealkiller is a very common bug where a Dell ad plays in the background, often multiple at once, causing severe performance drops, crashes, and extreme levels of annoyance.”
“Please improve performance.”
