I like it but…

There are too many ads, lack of instruction or info, and launching the mini games are next to impossible for me. I’ve been playing for days and for the life of me, I cannot figure out the significance of the Hidden Entrance. Once cleared they are supposed to add a Bonus to the mini games. What is the magic number that awards the bonus? What are the mini games in the Dungeon Mode? I’m almost maxed out on Improvements but have yet to figure out how to activate a mini game. Also, although I have built the fishing poles and upgraded them, there is no one fishing ever. I supposedly opened a new area after repairing the elevator but I see no other section beyond the Candy Winter, Summer , Sandy West and the Dungeon. I have maxed out everything in Candy Winter and although there are tasks to be completed like gather so much wood, stone, etc, none of the work the little guys are doing is credited to the tasks. How else are those tasks going to be completed or that whole area shut down? If you can answer any of these questions/comments, I would be very grateful

OMG

The ads are just way to much! It’s one thing to have optional ads for goods, rewards, or premium items but to constantly throw ads in players faces after every single thing you do is just downright annoying and ridiculous! To be absolutely honest.. I would never support any developer that knowingly throws this many ads at players. So any customer service or dev responding that I could just remove the ads with a simple in app purchase; well don’t! Firstly I will only support developers of games that I enjoy. Well I can’t play long enough to decide if I enjoy the game because of the constant bombardment of ads! I login the game and as soon as I click one thing. I am met with an ad. I upgrade a character; I am met with an ad. I finish building something; you guessed it. I am met with an ad! I know that freemium games use ads as a way to earn passive income. But I also know there is a good way of using ads and a bad way. This game goes beyond bad. So no; I would never support a game that knowingly pushes this many ads onto free to play gamers. Be warned! If your on the fence about whether to download this game or not. Put it this way. If you like 1 minute of gameplay and 30 seconds of ads after each 1 minute of gameplay. Well; this game is for you. Otherwise, look for another similar game that isn’t as intrusive with ads as this. Sorry but I am a firm believer in honest reviews!

I know better now.

Long story short: this game is just okay a decent time waster, but far from worth any serious investment. The biggest frustration lies with the ads. They’re excessively long and quickly become intrusive, especially considering the minimal in-game perks they offer in return. What’s more troubling is the misleading claim that “any purchase disables ads.” I purchased the Starter Bundle, and to my disappointment, the ads are still very much present. This feels dishonest and undermines trust in the developer. Another issue is with the gem system. While you can grind or pay to save up gems, spending them doesn’t always work as intended. I used 1,000 gems to unlock a character—and received nothing. No item, no confirmation, just… gone. That kind of glitch makes progress feel pointless. In summary, the game has some casual appeal but is ultimately weighed down by aggressive monetization, misleading claims, and unreliable reward mechanics. It’s fine for killing a few minutes, but not worth your time or money in the long run.

Game Incomplete/buggy

Title says it all. There are lots of little problems. The houses don’t match the preview thumbnail. They all just end up as boxes, which is disappointing. There’s a lot of stuff you can buy but for what? The levels end after the dungeon. I keep getting annoying notifications to move to the next level but there isn’t one. I can tell that the underground build mode accessed through the teepee is meant to go deeper because of the hatch on the second floor, but all you can do is clean up a mess every 45 minutes to get ten gems. This game shouldn’t have been released yet. There are other bugs but there’s no point in even mentioning them. If there’s a significant update I’d try it but as of now I’m pretty disappointed and really happy I didn’t spend any money. Also, if you don’t want to deal with the ads just close the app and reload. You’re welcome.

Hhmmm

It’s a game with cute graphics. Though it asks waaaay too much for such little content. You can finish the game playing it early steady in a week. You can save up red gems and get most of the characters in that time as well. Just focus most you people on food gathering to level them and you can easily “beat” the game without spending anything. Forced ads? Just close out the app and reload and you will save time not watching ads that are ridiculously long or having to keep clicking away their pop ups just to get to the end of the ad. What the game offers for you to buy is way overly priced and very much unnecessary to “beat” the game. The mini games aren’t fun or very engaging. Now does the picture in the App Store match what you will actually be doing… The game seems to only be interested in trying to steal your money. That’s correct making you think you are getting a game you aren’t is very much theft. Still it is a cute looking time waster if you are looking for that and you could stretch it out past a week. I would have deleted it much sooner has there been more forced ads. But it was relatively on the low end till you got closer to finishing the game. There are much better time wasters out there though so can’t recommend this one over all.

Fun, but…

Okay so the game is really fun. It constantly gives you something to work on, the animations/graphics are reasonable for what it is. BUT… there are a few issues ive encountered during the time that ive been playing: 1. advertised packs/bundles that force you to stare at the product. the little timer on the X is ridiculous.. i mean cmon, really? 2. audio glitching when using the whip on the prisoner to speed things up. ive noticed that on occasion, the whip will make no sound, or it will mute other sounds such as: farming sounds, background music. 3. you guys are charging people to skip advertisements and get the rewards, $3.99 PER. this alone has almost made me delete. its pure greed. i get it, devs gotta make a living too, but jeez. you made a game that begs its users to open their wallet every 5 minutes. and that alone deserves an uninstall. other than these things, the game can be enjoyable. get on, give the lil villagers work, get off. rinse. repeat.

Good but Ads :(

The money grab scheme is a little ridiculous with this. I watch plenty of ads for boosts, I even spent some money for some better characters. I love the idea of paying a few dollars to remove ads for all further boosts! I hate the random no rewards ads though. For all the ads I watch for the boosts and extra equipment I think its really messed up to have random ads and ask for $3 to remove only those ads though. I’m considering deleting if they don’t slow down on them or add a “make any purchase to remove all ads” we are playing your game and already watching your ads, you don’t need to be greedy. Reply fun game! Just stop trying to rob me and let me enjoy something

Ad-watching game

While the game in principle is fun, the reliance on perks that you can only get by paying or watching ads is very unbalanced. If the ads were say 10-15s long it'd be fine, but they are 20-45s each, which means that most of what you do when you have the game open in waiting for an ad to end. Additionally the timing loop seems bugged. Long ads actually eat into the duration of the perks, so the longer an ad the LESS you actually get for watching it. I believe this is supposed to be an "idle" game, and maybe it's just bugged, but whenever I close the app all resource gains stop. I have screen shots to show absolutely nothing progresses unless I have the app open, which defeats the purpose of an idle game.
