reviews
- “Ad notifications every 9-10 seconds are FAR TOO MUCH!”
- “Ads — I’m so sick of ads. I understand that people need to make money somehow but what ever happened to 30 second ads? Now you have to watch one for a minute before being forced to wait another 12 seconds then another 12 seconds for a stupid game”
- “Constant ads — This game used to be awesome a few years ago. Now you get constant ads nagging you to click videos to watch for 30 seconds to earn ‘points’.”

- “App not launching — Hi I installed the game on my iPad yesterday but it crashes on launch.”
- “Just keeps crashing — I really enjoyed playing this game but recently it just keeps freezing and crashing anytime I open the app.”
- “Crashes — Looks like it could be a great game. Unfortunately can't even get 5 minutes into due to crashes.”
Pay-to-play and exploitative monetization
Users feel the game is designed as a 'money grab', requiring payments for basic progression, with long time delays unless paying, and limited free content.

reviews
- “Please don’t download — This game is pay to play as soon as you join in it asks you to pay 3.99 for no ads and by the way it’s an ad every click.”
- “Pay to play or a boring grind — The timeframes for actions are extremely long. The only way to play this game as a quick play is to pay for upgrades.”
- “It’s NOT free & most of 5star reviews are fake — Be warned that this is not a free game and if you want to play without paying it takes an eternity to actually see some progress.”
Data privacy violations and forced tracking
Users express outrage over mandatory data tracking permissions required to play, claiming the app steals personal information and violates privacy.
6
reviews
- “Forces you to allow data tracking — You have to allow tracking and sharing your data in order to play the game. So I deleted the app instead ..!”
- “Literally steals data — Not even subtle about it, first thing that comes up when you open it”
- “Don’t steal my family information and you try to make us go to prison or something you must go to prison for that!”
Game-breaking bugs and glitches post-update
After updates, users report persistent bugs such as incorrect stats, lost progress, non-functional UI elements, corrupted save data, and visual issues like tiny text or broken icons.

reviews
- “I’m losing money! — I keep on losing money no matter what I do!!! Ugh!!! 😡😡😡😡😡😡🤬”
- “Bug — Brand new player. Despite having a positive cashflow in the money graph and accruing while playing, when i leave the game and come back the income is displayed as a negative figure.”
- “Text so small — Since the update the text is so small I can’t read it now.”
Poor mobile optimization and UI/UX issues
Users complain about poor device compatibility (especially iPhone X), unreadable text, broken menus, missing back buttons, and confusing interface changes post-update.
7
reviews
- “Don’t bother with IPhone X — Quite simply, a majority of the menus, and therefore vital text, is cut off by the top of the iPhone.”
- “No back button — I can’t unselect a mine fix the bugs happy to make a 5 star review”
- “The transfer to unity has failed the public — Why because if you failed to notice that if you move your finger down from the top of the screen it drops down the notifications...”
Unfair or broken game mechanics
Players report illogical game systems, such as time travelers destroying progress, flooding events with no mitigation options, and inconsistent resource management.
5
reviews
- “Time traveller keeps destroying my planet — I love this game, but the time traveller story keeps destroying my planet, making it too hard to achieve victory...”
- “Didn’t make sense! — Was enjoying this game, until lost 50k of population and a city due to rising sea levels. I can pay less than 500k to stop an asteroid from hitting infrastructure, but no option to pay to move a city as it is getting flooded...”
Poor customer support and developer behavior
Users accuse developers of attacking players who report bugs, dismissing concerns, and fabricating stories, leading to distrust and frustration.
4
reviews

- “If you ever wondered... — ...What it looks like when an App developer pays for a bunch of good reviews, then you have just learned something new.”
