    596 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “No ads, unless you want to watch them.”

    • “The game wants to make you think it is free-to-play, but after a couple of levels, you realize it is just a cash grab.”
    • “The game hit a pay-to-get wall once you reach level 13; they will demand that you get stones to develop further, which can't be acquired unless you have gems.”

    The reviews indicate that the grinding aspect of the game is a significant point of contention, with many players finding it excessively tedious and repetitive, especially after reaching midgame levels.

    • “Good game, nice idle mechanics, not too grindy, and no invasive ads.”

    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability has received mixed reviews, with some players experiencing frequent bugs and occasional freezes that disrupt gameplay.

Overall, stability appears to be a significant concern for a portion of the player base.

    • “Addictive and runs great on my phone! ”
    • “Only issue and the reason for the star loss is that the game freezes here and there.”

    • “Just started playing and it's very annoying, the special ads don't play and you can't collect the bonuses, then it freezes the game so you have to relaunch.”
  • optimization
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization is heavily criticized, with users reporting significant battery drain and performance issues, particularly during saves. Additionally, players express frustration over the reliance on in-game purchases for upgrades, which detracts from the overall experience. Many hope for future improvements in optimization.

    • “Despite very interesting gameplay, the game has two obvious problems: 1) optimization - it insanely uses battery; 2) at level 30 you face that almost all upgrades are for diamonds (donate currency).”
    • “I'll revisit later in hopes of optimization.”
    • “Performance during a save needs to be fixed.”
  • humor
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “Super fun to explore the map and find the books that have small easter eggs in them that are pretty funny. I just wish that I could get the gems mine a lot sooner than level 30, but besides that, great game! Can't wait to see what else they come up with or add to the game.”
    • “Very relaxing, with some humor and a bit of strategy in placing the buildings.”
    • “The game is funny, but it makes my phone very hot; that doesn't happen even with much more resource-intensive games.”
  • replayability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's replayability is limited, as players quickly encounter a slowdown in progress without purchasing upgrades, leading to a repetitive experience.
