The monetization strategy of this game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming number of forced ads that interrupt gameplay. Many players report spending more time watching ads than actually playing, with unskippable ads appearing every few minutes, often at inconvenient moments. While some users appreciate the option to watch ads for bonuses, the sheer volume of mandatory ads has led to frustration and a negative impact on the overall gaming experience, prompting calls for a reduction in ad frequency or a more user-friendly approach to monetization.
- “There are no ads unless you want there to be, which is amazing.”
- “It's enjoyable, hardly any ads unless you want some to get a reward, but other than that I've been having fun with it, good job guys.”
- “My recommendation is to buy the no ads and gems just to support them.”
- “It's interesting and kind of fun, but it's 80% ads, 10% waiting for upgrades to finish, 10% actual gameplay.”
- “The sheer volume of ads it throws at you for no benefit is mad.”
- “The game is unplayable if you don't instantly pay to remove ads.”

The game's stability is severely compromised, with frequent freezing and crashing reported by users, particularly during gameplay and when accessing specific features like Mars.

- “As soon as I open the app, it loads to the screen where it tells me how much energy I've gained while I was away, freezes, then crashes.”
- “It freezes every 1-2 minutes and you lose all the progress you've made and have to keep repeating all the upgrading you've done just to have it freeze again.”
- “Game is fun and easy to play with a nice premise and a great look to it, but it's frustratingly buggy after the recent update, continually freezing and needing to be closed and restarted, losing progress each time.”

The music in the game is widely praised for its relaxing and calming qualities, enhancing the overall gameplay experience. Many players find the soundtrack enjoyable and soothing, making it a great companion for casual play. However, interruptions from ads that pause personal music have been a common complaint, detracting from the enjoyment for some users.
- “This is a beautiful game, nice and easy with a pleasing look and relaxing music and sounds.”
- “The music is very calming and if you're someone who likes tycoon games, this game is pretty ok.”
- “I really love the in-game music; it makes me feel very calm and is very soothing. Also, seeing your world come together is very therapeutic.”
- “The only thing I love is the background music; it's relaxing.”
- “I understand that a free app needs ads, but these ads pause your music.”
- “Compelling gameplay loop, but the popup ads are far too obtrusive and cannot be muted if you are listening to anything like music or podcasts.”
grinding
26 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
Players consistently find the grinding aspect of the game tedious and repetitive, particularly due to the lack of a "buy max" option for upgrades, which forces them to make numerous small purchases. This mechanic, combined with cooldowns and frequent ads, contributes to a sense of boredom and frustration, especially after multiple prestige resets. While some enjoy the game's core mechanics, many feel that the grinding detracts significantly from the overall experience.
- “However, you can't upgrade anything in quantities of more than 100, which ends up making this game incredibly tedious after you get past the initial grind.”
- “As others have said, it would be great to have a 'make max' or anything greater than 100; it just becomes tedious, repetitive, and boring with each prestige.”
- “Pretty fun for a short while, but the game feels very tedious without a 'buy max' button at higher prestige multipliers and the game is small enough that it runs out of meaningful content in like a day.”

The story aspect of the game is generally viewed as engaging, with players appreciating the concept of managing natural elements to recreate life on Earth. However, many users express frustration over the lack of content and missions after completing the initial objectives, leading to a sense of stagnation. Additionally, the overwhelming presence of ads and the need for improvements in mission management detract from the overall experience.
- “Multiple planets and the mechanics and story are realistic and good.”
- “Your quest is simple: use energy and manage natural elements to create life on Earth again.”
- “I really like the game; I finished all the missions. It is just an amazing game.”
- “Is the game over once I create both worlds and accomplish all of the missions? There's nothing else for me to tap... I guess it is, so I quit the game. I finally came back in August of '22, but while the gameplay hasn't changed, there's a ton more ads to do anything, and most of the time you can't even click on the ads because they're not available to actually give you any extra time. So I'm now going to rate it one star.”
- “The idea itself is good; however, the game is broken. I am not talking about the ads right now. I have 18,000x prestige and 500 diamonds (because of missions). I am not even kidding; I played for only 3 days. This game has a weak spot: once you exploit it, you have nothing else to do in the game. Maybe the developers can fix this by making you able to reset your progress every 24 hours because that's the weak spot.”
- “Game is an ad machine. You spend 50% of your time just watching ads. Missions are easy, but blocks are expensive, and there are a lot of upgrades to do along with a lot of bugs.”

The game faces significant optimization issues across all devices, resulting in slow performance, lag, and heavy graphics that hinder gameplay. Users express a desire for improved optimization, particularly for Earth and Mars, as well as reduced build times and ads. While some updates have improved performance, overall, the game remains unoptimized, even on mid-range devices.
- “It's a good time killer; I wish Earth and Mars could be optimized, with build times shortened for the bigger purchases. Version 2.0 was a great addition to the game, and it runs so smoothly, but with all three planets being worked on, the game is too laggy to worry about Earth or Mars.”
- “Also, the game suffers from considerable performance issues on any phone.”
- “Unoptimized even for a mid-range device.”
- “Too heavy graphics, too many ads, and too little optimization.”
