    The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming number of mandatory ads required for progression. Players express frustration over being forced to watch ads for basic upgrades and rewards, with many noting that the ads often fail to load, hindering gameplay. While some users are willing to watch optional ads for bonuses, the lack of a reasonable one-time purchase option to remove ads entirely has led to dissatisfaction, with many labeling the game as a "cash grab."

    • β€œIt's a nice time killer, but if you want to pay for having no ads for the entirety of your gaming, have fun spending over $2,000 for a year of ad-free gameplay (you still have to watch ads for the special gold upgrades).”
    • β€œI love it the most because it has like no ads unless you choose them!”
    • β€œIt's so satisfying and there are no ads; it's so cool.”
    • β€œEverything, and I mean everything, is locked behind ads that you have to watch in order to progress. Ads should be optional, not mandatory... that's not how you make engaging games.”
    • β€œYou are actually punished with ads for playing the game, and you have to watch ads for boosts.”
    • β€œThis game is more ads than game anymore.”

    The graphics of the game are generally praised for their aesthetic appeal and satisfying visuals, with many users highlighting the pleasing design and effective physics. However, some players report performance issues, such as lag and overheating, particularly when there are many items on screen, which detracts from the overall experience. Additionally, the presence of intrusive ads is a common complaint, impacting gameplay despite the attractive graphics.

    • β€œHorrible frames and graphics.”
  • gameplay50 mentions

    The gameplay of the game is generally described as shallow and heavily reliant on ads, which detracts from the overall experience.

    • β€œThe gameplay itself is fun however.”

  • stability30 mentions

    The game's stability is a significant concern among users, with frequent reports of freezing, crashing, and glitches that often require restarts to resolve. Many players experience issues with ads causing the app to freeze, and critical features like the prestige option are often inaccessible due to these bugs. While some users enjoy the gameplay, the persistent technical problems have led to frustration and, in some cases, uninstallation.

  • optimization19 mentions

    The game's optimization is widely criticized, with users reporting significant performance issues, especially during high production phases, leading to lag and low frame rates even on high-end devices. Many players express a need for better optimization options, such as a low-performance mode, to enhance gameplay and reduce battery drain. Overall, while the game has appealing graphics, its demanding performance and frequent advertisements detract from the experience.

    • β€œOptimizations would be nice so the lag isn't as bad.”
    • β€œNice graphics but can be quite demanding performance-wise.”
    • β€œA ridiculously greedy amount of forced advertisements, and once you get far enough into the game if you can tolerate it the game is far too much for high-end phones to handle and there should be lower processing/graphics settings to boost performance.”
    • β€œWith the current performance, it's fine until you really start to ramp up production, to the point I get hiccups in performance that I rarely see in good mobile games.”
    • β€œAdverts are somewhat annoying, also it is in need of heavy optimization.”
    • β€œGame is good but performance is terrible as after 10 minutes on a Galaxy S20 it played at an unbearable 5fps.”
