  • monetization
    178 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the frequency and functionality of ads. While some appreciate the minimal and non-intrusive nature of ads, others report that ads frequently freeze or crash the game, making it difficult to progress without in-game purchases. Overall, the game appears to rely heavily on ads for revenue, leading to a perception of it being a cash grab rather than a fully enjoyable experience.

    • “Fun game, easy to play, takes your mind off things. If you're mad, you really have to concentrate, and there are no ads unless you click on the pop-ups. I 100% approve this game if you have anger issues or just like games to build and compete. God bless you guys, have a nice day! ❤️”
    • “It is a pretty fun game with little to no ads.”
    • “It's a fun and great game; I love idle tappers. Unfortunately, you can tell the developers are getting a bit greedy. You used to be able to win and finish the special event, but now they have become impossible without spending a lot of money on in-game purchases.”
    • “I wish I could give this negative stars. I completed a bunch of offers for gold from the offer wall, some of which I paid money for in-app purchases. Some took me a lot of time to get to the required level in order to be qualified. Altogether, I'm missing between 3000 and 3500 gold. Offers state they are completed, yet nothing rewarded for this game. I have contacted customer support with no help; just get an animated robot response or it's a vicious cycle of BS.”
    • “Game is fun, but be wary, several of the ads that can be watched for various in-game bonuses can be either useless or game-breaking.”
    • “The game is set up to rake in the money with ads. Watch this ad and it will give you double production for the next 4 hours, watch this video and your volunteers will earn 10x as much, but yet can't make it enjoyable for the end user.”
  • humor
    127 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is widely appreciated, with many players finding it hilarious and a clever satire of politics, featuring amusing caricatures and puns related to political figures. While some reviews note that the gameplay can become repetitive, the light-hearted and absurd humor keeps it entertaining for many. Overall, the game is described as a fun and addictive experience, perfect for casual play and a good time-killer.

    • “Hilarious take on politics.”
    • “The humor is from the more mundane tropes of both parties.”
    • “It's a funny game and it's awesome to learn about the lobbies and stuff nice game.”
    • “Running that ad, it's outdated and genuinely unfunny.”
  • stability
    42 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from significant stability issues, with frequent freezing and crashing reported during gameplay, particularly when watching ads or during events. Many users express frustration over the game's inability to function properly, often requiring restarts and leading to a diminished overall experience. Despite its enjoyable aspects, the persistent bugs and glitches have left players feeling disappointed and frustrated.

    • “But the one thing that I hate the most is that the ads freeze up halfway through while watching them, and there is no way to get them to start playing again, therefore forcing you to restart the game all over again. When you successfully do, the bonus video icon disappears, and you have to wait for it to pop back up again.”
    • “Game is freezing a lot every time an event is going on. The main game freezes when you retire and activate the auto money app. The app crashes, and bonus ads fail half of the time. Nothing you press works. This sucks in the main game and in events. I got a 1-hour warp in the event, and nothing gets fixed. It's the same story every day.”
    • “I love this game, but some events won't stay open for more than a few seconds without crashing. It'll even crash during ads. Releasing a buggy version with a timed event is not a good thing.”
  • gameplay

    • “1st prize goes to this awesome game I love the graphics.”

  • story
    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The reviews indicate a significant dissatisfaction with the game's story aspect, highlighting a lack of engaging narrative and meaningful progression. Players express frustration over the absence of a compelling storyline, with many describing the gameplay as repetitive and lacking depth. While some acknowledge a minimal sense of story and character development, the overall consensus is that the game fails to deliver a satisfying or immersive narrative experience.

    • “Difference is that there's an actual sense of story and progress instead of just gameplay mechanics.”
    • “Interesting plot and characters.”
    • “5 stars if it had good gameplay with a great story instead of tapping to make money.”
    • “There is no story whatsoever.”
    • “I thought it would be live episodes, you know, story-driven, but you really just tap.”
    • “It would be better if there was some level of skill necessary or a storyline, but it's just a boring waste of time.”
  • optimization
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization is widely criticized, with users reporting significant lag, choppy performance, and crashes during gameplay, particularly in special events. While the game has enjoyable elements, its poor optimization leads to a frustrating experience, including excessive battery drain and inconsistent performance across different screens. Overall, many players express disappointment, wishing for smoother functionality akin to other titles.

    • “Solid game despite the optimization issue.”
    • “Would like to rate more if it ran smoothly like the adcap or adcom.”
    • “Really scintillating performance; the prospect looks so brightly colored!”
    • “The performance of the game is also a little laggy, making it impossible to play, and the numbers are messed up, like 1.1e9 showing up.”
    • “Game is not optimized; it's choppy and slow in some screens, fine in others.”
    • “As the title suggests, this game is very fun, but unfortunately, it's not optimized to use as little battery life as possible and will drain your battery incredibly fast during long gameplay periods.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be frustrating and tedious, particularly due to the significant time investment required to level up, which can feel undermined by sudden, random advancements from bots. While early upgrades demand extensive grinding, the process becomes easier after a few retirements, but many still feel that the overall experience becomes slow and monotonous over time.

    • “You can be in 1st place, with all the bonuses and multipliers, then magically a random bot shoots past you by 6 levels, when it takes a day of grinding just for you to go up one level.”
    • “After months and months of playing this game, it has become tedious, slow, and boring.”
    • “Fast upgrades after the first few retirements become much easier and less grindy.”
