  • monetization
    248 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism for its heavy reliance on ads, with many players feeling that progression is nearly impossible without watching numerous ads or making in-game purchases. While some users appreciate the option to pay for ad removal, they often find that this does not eliminate all ads, particularly those tied to rewards. Overall, the consensus is that the game is overly monetized, leading to a frustrating experience that detracts from gameplay enjoyment.

    • “No ads, which is fantastic.”
    • “I bought the no ads pass because I thought it was really fun.”
    • “Game is crazy ad-driven; I bought the no-ads option and still have all the same ads required for everything.”
    • “It's gonna cost you money or watch tons of ads for nothing... deleting the game from my device now.”
    • “The game is largely locked behind timers and stamina systems, all able to be bypassed with money or ads.”
    • “Game is fun, but cannot hire fish workers, no matter how much I run around the fish worker hire spot, no menu pops up, currently forced to watch ads for fish if I want to upgrade my tower.”
  • story
    50 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is largely overshadowed by numerous bugs and progression issues, with players frequently encountering quests that fail to complete despite meeting requirements. Many users express frustration over being locked out of mission progression due to glitches, particularly related to gear upgrades and worker hiring, which detracts from the overall experience. While the game has potential, the current state of its quest system leaves players feeling stuck and dissatisfied.

    • “It's an addicting game, but it often hits places where quests don't complete when achievements are met.”
    • “I was really enjoying this game until it stopped me from progressing. I'm stuck at the gear level 2500 mission when my gear is 3800, my island is max level, and I can't seem to get the next companion.”
    • “Would be a good game, but it doesn't show information for coins/diamonds or even info on quests. If the developers could correct this issue, I would happily download it again.”
    • “This was a fun game to play, but currently there are many bugs, including a major bug that doesn't allow the player to complete the main quest line.”
    • “It's addicting, but it often hits places where quests don't complete when achievements are met.”
    • “Good until you get to the last gear upgrade quest, then nothing. Can't get the atlas hero and I lost equipment in the process.”
  • stability
    39 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is severely compromised, with numerous users reporting frequent glitches, freezes, and resets, particularly as they progress through the levels. Many players experience issues such as lost rewards after watching ads, inaccessible upgrades, and game resets that erase progress, leading to frustration and dissatisfaction. Overall, while the game has potential, its current state is plagued by bugs that hinder gameplay significantly.

    • “After two months of gameplay, and currently on the fourth island, the energy bar remains stuck on 'loading' despite troubleshooting attempts.”
    • “The game is now a buggy mess that I can't even play; it says the rock is moving at 1500m/h but isn't moving at all, and all menus I had unlocked are now gone except for the heroes menu.”
    • “The game often freezes after watching an ad, so you have to close and reopen, losing your reward in the process.”
  • gameplay
    32 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Gameplay is generally described as fun and engaging, but marred by significant issues such as a slow progression system, frequent ads, and various broken mechanics that hinder the experience. Players report that the energy mechanic limits playtime and often forces them to watch ads or pay to continue, leading to frustration. While some enjoy the core gameplay loop, many feel that the game's design prioritizes monetization over a smooth and enjoyable experience.

    • “Gameplay has reasonable free-to-play progression.”
    • “Surprisingly, it turned out to be a fun game; forced ads once in a blue moon and an ad banner on the bottom, but it doesn't affect your gameplay.”
    • “Really fun game, smooth gameplay, and keeps me busy and interested in the game.”
    • “Another point is that the whole equipment unlocking mechanic is rather tiresome, walking to the x, then a long cutscene to dig.”
    • “Gameplay is incredibly slow without watching ads or paying money.”
    • “Another potentially decent game ruined by an energy mechanic that serves no purpose other than to try and squeeze money out of players.”
  • grinding
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players have mixed feelings about the grinding aspect of the game, with some enjoying the leveling process while others find it tedious and frustrating, especially when progress is hindered by glitches or excessive ad requirements. Many feel that the grinding is overly repetitive and yields minimal rewards, leading to disappointment and a sense of being forced into microtransactions. Overall, while some appreciate the grind, it is often described as a chore rather than an enjoyable feature.

    • “This is literally just an ad farming game.”
    • “I've grinded so much, I just finished grinding for 2500 gear power and it took me ages, but it's glitched and I can't complete the quest.”
    • “Horrible last update had all super workers; now it's back to the start, clearly trying to force more microtransactions by making the game more grindy. 0/5 don't recommend.”
  • graphics
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game have received mixed feedback, with some users noting issues such as delayed worker animations and visibility problems with certain objects. While a recent patch addressed some graphical glitches, it inadvertently introduced new loading issues that hinder gameplay. Overall, the graphical experience appears to be inconsistent and in need of further refinement.

    • “When the rock turns 90 degrees and the pyramids move, you can't see their graphics, but you run into them.”
    • “With their latest patch, they fixed a couple of graphics problems, but now I can't get past the loading screen, so I can't do anything anymore.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Some players feel that the game would benefit significantly from the addition of music or sound to enhance engagement.
