Last Week Update
Wed Feb 01 2023 BiddsterIt was fun and dandy, I had a good time clicking the upgrade button. But once the last week update hit (no new levels by the way), it became impossible to upgrade anything. My upgrade is at 50k and I only am at 14th place and have all 14 level gears at level 5 (the max level at the moment). Making 4.3 billion a second without clicking if you guys are interested. I recommend to not buy any level 30 gears, or any of them, until the game has more levels. It was great before the last update, because you could honestly click the upgrade button infinite times, but now my upgrade is at 9.7q for a 50,098 upgrade. I assume that I will never be able to upgrade again unless I watch countless ads (I will only watch ads for a high gear). Just saving at this point for the next update levels. Fun game before it was messed up a little, but I understand the balance update because 50k is op. But it was a fun game besides the countless ads and the battery drain. 4 stars for being a good tap game.
Peak
Thu Jan 05 2023 Arwen JonesyBefore I started playing gear clicker I had no friends and was desperate for some entertainment. My dear friend Shirley Langsta recommended this game to me, and I had some doubts. These doubts were instantly wiped away as soon as I opened the app. I was greeted with a warm welcome and a 30 second ad. Seeing this ad caused a smile to slowly emerge across my face despite my best effort to stop it. I LOVE ADS 🥰. The game in general is also “peak” or the pinnacle of all games. Those gears spinning really caught my eye and I even began to drool a little, oops 😬. I love the cool and unique gameplay of combining gears and leveling up. Games like Merge Town and Merge Planes have failed to truly capture the art of Merging, while Gear Clicker is just different perchance. This game is not just any old game it is a lifestyle a way of life and a home. I have been playing this game for hours nonstop, and I have been enjoying every minute with these cheerful little gears. And the ribbon 🎀 on top is that I am awarded with a 40 second FISHDOM ad whenever I misclick. Like I said earlier I love ads and this so Called devious feature just adds to the perfection of this game. Thank you Shirley Langsta and thank you Gear Clicker for giving me this opportunity, which I am so grateful for, to make my life mean something and truly matter. I finally feel like I am making a difference in the World.
Recent update
Mon May 08 2023 wafflez9088The recent update kinda ruined the match portion of the game. on top of putting everything behind an ad wall, instead of getting the gems straight into your bank it goes into what I’m assuming is supposed to be a buffer… but as it fills up to what Feels like an infinite amount (even though when you start filling it the half way point in the bar is at about 250k) correct me if I’m wrong but it seems to never actually become full. I’ve got mine up to 1.0M and it’s ever so slightly picking away towards the end whereas when you start filling it, it looks like it’s filling much faster. It isn’t a game breaker just would be nice to know what is “full” For the gem buffer
Fun game. Not worth the clickbait ads (and that’s WITH ads removed)
Mon Apr 24 2023 adelong1230For those that want to save themselves time and money, please read as it exposes ethical practices this publisher does.
Bought this game and it’s super fun. Even paid for the ad free version. Now they do state that if you want to unlock other parts of the game you do have to watch some ads, which is okay. Only problem is, they take a highly unethical approach which is, the ad pops up and plays for three seconds, then gives you and option to click away, then says “you need to continue watching”, then plays for another three seconds and pauses again — it’s basically multiple ads within one video drawn out. The reason they have it setup this way is so you are coerced into spending money on their “skip ad tokens”. Brilliant marketing strategy, but also highly unethical even after you’ve “paid” for the ad free version.
Note: most other publishers do not bait you with the extended ads that this publisher does on purpose. This actually is the first time I have seen this unethical marketing practice.
Buggy game
Fri Dec 30 2022 KittyGamer712It’s an ok game, and fun to play when I want to pass time. But there are some problems. I bought the 20k space, but when I logged back on today, it had gone back to locked, even though my gears were still inside of the space. It wouldn’t let me merge any of them either, and when I went back to buy it, it wouldn’t let me because every time I clicked to buy it back, I clicked the gear. So I couldn’t actually get it back. This is a buggy game and definitely needs more work. I think if it had higher skilled workers, (or people who cared more) The game would be better. The game also looks nothing like the pictures, so that’s just false advertising. And one more thing. It takes forever to progress in this game. You have to watch ads to get the gears for higher levels, or you’ll be playing the game for 7 hours trying to get a level 11 gear. Overall, if you like tycoon games, give it a shot. But it’s buggy, and not very interesting.
Mindlessly entertaining and short
Sat Jun 10 2023 The idle masterI think most mobile games over the past few years have either been poorly made, stolen an aspect of another game, or have an extremely good mechanic that gets boring after about 3 hours due to the same level design being used again. It’s rinse and repeat at this point. However, there are games like this that break away from that mold. They show you eat mobile gaming should REALLY be, which is a diverse number of different games that don’t follow a bandwagon appeal just to make a profit. As for the game in question, I haven’t gotten very far. I do think, however, that this game could go far some day. A quick message to the devs; keep working hard on this game, because what I see in your team is great promise. I’ll stop ranting now. Have a great day.
Boring (bonus: scamming bonus offer??? Real?)
Mon May 29 2023 Jacobi42442516That’s pretty much it, this game is boring. All you do is click and buy a gear, then click some more.
—————————————————————————————————————
I got a bonus offer today and it said 3x value. Was quite curious, could this offer be worth 30 dollars? Offer was a level 12 gear, 1m money and no ads, level 12 gear is 4 dollars, but the money was a little tougher, as the lowest offer was 50m. But 1m is only 8 cents. For the ads, you also get 10 skips, and it was worth 4 dollars, but it was just buying skips, and the ads was a bonus. So the price for no ads was nullified. By getting this offer, you’re getting about 2.45x less stuff rather than the 10 dollars you paid for. But thats not all. If you remembered I said 3x value on the offer, so to make it true, the increase amount would be a staggering 7.35x! Buy the gear and ads by themselves, and save 2 bucks. You can earn the money very quickly. Be more honest, and I bet 90% of those 5 star reviews are fraudulent, you dirty liars.
About the upgrades
Mon Jan 16 2023 Thateth BoiethFirst of all, my biggest peeve is the offline money system, I make 5 times I make in an hour offline in 1 second, it’s a joke. The speed could also be changed, before you could tap to increase your money per second, but at max speed that benefit disappears. Finally, for the income upgrade PLEASE make it to where you can hold it down or max it out with your current amount of money, it takes forever and I can only tap so much. I’ve currently tapped over 10,000 times just for the income upgrade and it’s driving me insane. Please fix it, besides that the game is great, can’t wait for the next level!
Bad ad timing
Mon Feb 27 2023 nifocThe ad immediately following when I watched an add to get a clicker for ninety seconds is a bit of a gut punch. Granted, you did keep it ad free the whole minute and a half.
But the real problem is the ad as soon as a free piece shows up. You have to have timing to get a decent free piece and the ad rarely returns to the game smoothly. So the piece I get that costs you nothing is likely downgraded severely while you get paid not only for the full length ad for the piece, but also for the brief interstitial that hiccuped the game.
Shame
Ads make it not worth it
Thu Mar 09 2023 AkeechanGot the app a little bit ago. Starting progress was slow, but fine. You could watch ads for boosts, pretty standard idle game fare.
But then ads started popping up every few minutes, regardless of if I tapped anything or not. This game has routine interruptions for random ads - it doesn’t *need* those, devs can get ad revenue from the upgrades just the same.
The insidious problem is they expect you to pay four dollars to get rid of these random, unnecessary interruptions. This game is fun, but it’s not worth four dollars when I could easily check out a different idle game.
Two stars. Game itself seems fine, but the ad interruptions ruin it, and the expectation to pay for what should be the standard is unfair.
