Gameplay reviews highlight a mix of enjoyment and frustration; while some players appreciate the unique mechanics and graphics, many are deterred by intrusive ads that disrupt the experience and limit playtime. The tutorial is often criticized for being unnecessary and slowing down the initial gameplay, and the lack of sound further detracts from the overall experience. Despite these issues, there is potential for the game to improve with updates addressing these concerns.
“Great and interesting gameplay.”
“Fun gameplay.”
“I've finally got to play this epic masterpiece and I've grown to love it. It's brilliant with so much to do. I love the graphics, gameplay, and controls; they are all superb. You did a great job creating Terradome 3D. Developer, thanks for making it offline. My only request is for sounds to be added; all it does is vibrate my phone. It has so much potential if sounds were added. It would become an epic masterpiece, so please add sounds with the new updates soon. Good luck and thanks again; it's really good!”
“The game forces you to watch adverts for no rewards during gameplay.”
“I understand you need your money, but if it takes away gameplay time just so you can get a few bucks here and there through ads, the game is just not worth it in my opinion.”
“Within the first 5 minutes, I had three ads that I could not close. I ended up having to close the app three times within 5 minutes just to continue gameplay.”
