App Store Editors’ Notes

No forced ads!

I absolutely love this game for one reason. No. Forced. Ads. I can’t tell you how annoying it is to find a fun game only to realize that you have to watch an ad every two minutes. In this game, yes you can *choose* to watch ads to get small buffs, but it’s completely optional and the game is 100% beatable without them. There are some pieces of trash on the islands that you can get rid of either by watching an ad or paying some coins, but coins are pretty easy to get. As for payments, there is a huge island that you can buy for eight bucks and a dragon thing that doubles your income for seven bucks. But I’ve found that I have plenty of space on the seven islands that you can unlock just by playing the game and if you want double income you can also watch an ad and get it for twenty minutes. The actual gameplay is also very addictive (in a good way, I think) and I spent the entire day just building machines and getting resources when I first downloaded it. I’m also a sucker for some good pixel art 😅 In conclusion, I can tell that the developers really cared about making this game a fun experience instead of just making a crap game for money. And I really appreciate that 🙂

Surprisingly Addictive

I downloaded this game on a total whim last night, but I have been playing it nonstop on my breaks at work. At first when I realized I had to actually think about what I was buying and what resources I needed to use, I got frustrated and closed the game because I don’t want to think. I eventually opened it back up and I can’t put it down! The strategy in the game is stimulating but not so difficult that I feel stumped. I like the lack of ads aside from the trash cleaning. That being said, I wish getting coins was a bit easier so I didn’t have to watch 3 ads to clear one piece of trash. Otherwise, the game is fantastic! The name is a bit off-putting but gets the point across.

Worth playing - ends abruptly

Overall, I believe the game is absolutely worth playing if you like city builders for enjoy dames like factorio. I enjoyed the early game a lot. Mid game was ok and end game was missing something. Forests: only two things you can put on them. One for wood. One for planks with power. Mountains: have many things you can put on them including windmill. Charcoal: need a lot to advance but only one way to get it. Needs another option. Power: I can get behind the power system for the most part until you need fluid pipes to the same building. I wish pipes and wires could stack. Also, some buildings use an astronomical amount of power (sand) to make very little glass for example. Late game ended up just becoming more of an idle game - waiting for resources for an entire day at times to build or upgrade the same sets of buildings to eventually get an upgrade for the next tier. Video Ad boosts were essential to get 2x materials And then the game was over. Just like that. It almost felt like there was no rhyme or reason- it just ends. The only reason I built the last building was to say I did it. There was not even a quest related to it. It left me a bit empty and not really wanting more. Just an uninstalled game - with an empty last island and no bought island. TL;DR Fun early game. Mid game was ok. End game - pointless aka idle game status. Power /Pipes needs work. Need ad boosts to progress. No need to buy last island or boosts.

Good with a few Inconveniences

Very fun game, if you like games with factory’s and stuff it’s a nice mobile simple game. Only a few issues, most annoying is trash, I have saved most of my coins that I got for trash and could only clear 3 islands fully when I already unlocked 6. So I’m going to have to watch some ads. There are no ads when playing normally so that’s is literally heaven, so I understand needing some ads so you guys don’t go broke. But, please make the textures for some items different, iron and board look too similar along with charcoal and crude oil. I have barely any upgrades mostly cause they are very weak (so far at least) and cost a lot of coins. Upgrades are really not needed so I’m fine with that. Otherwise I can’t wait to see what comes next! (Fun fact you can change the tiles by holding them for a second and you can pay like 20 coins to make a new mountain or woods or plains.)

Best of its kind

If you like production chain games you do not have to look further because this is hands down THE BEST game to do it in. It does not force adds down your throat in the slightest and you could play this game forever without having to watch a single add. Second it does not constantly pressure you to make in app purchases. Last the gameplay is smooth simple and is not outstanding but is perfectly enjoyable and again if you like production chains games this is the place to play Also please let us stack roads and pipes and all of that stuff or at least give us over/under passes or you could even let us stack 2. Just please make a change to that little thing

Decent

Coal power is nice, but those mountains can be used to farm steel, which is needed direly for wire and batteries. These become very expensive. Hydro power and wind power are probably best. I found less and less reason to chase plastic and especially carbon fiber and the higher industries. Need some rock farming because major upgrades are done through glass and concrete (which requires rock), but not to much, you can get loads for cheap, but it is necessary for upgrades. All that is based on gravel and water, these farm slowly, and gravel in particular puts a huge strain on power grid. Glass is not that bad to get going pretty steady, but concrete is a bit more challenging because water pumps do not pump much and upgrade slow.

Super fun

If your bored and like a simulator that’s not all ads and is not grinding and not a slow paced game this if for you! You can progress at the speed you want ! It requires very minimal strategy to progress but make sure you provide enough materials because adding more shops that use that material to make different materials. No ads it’s one of the best free games for me. The policy is very good and there is no scams I love theses types of games because it develops your mind to think. This is a awsome game and it have good graphic design, gameplay, and currency. I would recommend to try this game as it keeps me from boredom. Developer s can you add multiplayer? Thanks!

Great game

Great game and a great example of how to do a F2P cellphone game. Ads are convenience, and not forced down your throat. Huge recommendation. My only complaint is I feel there’s a bit of a balancing issue, namely with gravel. Gravel is a resource you get fairly early on that is used by a couple of fairly important production plants, namely to make glass and concrete. You’ll need a LOT of glass and concrete, but glass and concrete use a lot of gravel. The problem I find is that gravel itself requires an asinine amount of power for relatively little gravel. I’m at a point where I’m waiting to move onto the final resource, carbon fiber- but I’m still having supply issues with gravel because of how power hungry it is. I currently have 600k~ per second for energy production, but gravel uses 450k of that, and I still don’t have enough gravel to really make enough concrete/glass to really progress forward. (That’s betting around 60k gravel). The current gameplay loop for quite a few days has been: log in, up power, up travel. Up power, up gravel. Up Power, up gravel, then maybe upgrade ether glass or concrete, repeat.
