No forced ads!
Thu May 04 2023 kingdesert HEROI 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
Sat Mar 11 2023 spookatoI 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
Sat Apr 08 2023 UrPaperBoyOverall, 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
Thu Mar 09 2023 AllNicknamesAreTakenHelp10Very 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.)
Decent
Thu Jul 20 2023 druidshepardCoal 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
Fri Jun 02 2023 ehhhdjsIf 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
Tue Apr 04 2023 Me868686Great 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.
Literally Mezmerized
Sun Mar 26 2023 canwatchmodernfamilyOnce you start playing its like wow well gotta do this then this and this while doing this and i love it and it keeps you engaged. Well its not much action packed, its a fun game to play while doing something on the side, slowly building your production line and rearranging the cables to be perfection lol. One thing i worry is that this will be all for the game, maybe a prestige and restart thing? or higher advanced technology? Something that will make the players want to play the game for longer. Seeing i got the game on release day and already have had so much fun, im excited to see more updates and content in the future for this game.
Beware of liars with 1 star reviews
Mon May 22 2023 FMBUZZThis game had real care and thought put into it and it’s obvious the moment you start playing. There are no forced adds, which seem to be a common thing these days, and the only adds are optional, not even necessary to beat the game. The optional adds can be worked around with coins that you don’t even have to purchase with real money. Many critical reviews write that this game is a cash grab, that is not the case.
If you are considering downloading the game either for something to do with the extra free time or for something to feel rewarding, all the power to you. Have fun producing!
Amazing Game! Some suggestions though
Thu Jun 15 2023 Fr3nchToastGamesSo the game is amazing, no forceful ads, and not really any in-app purchases. Something i wish there was though, is a pause button. Multiple times my factory has gone to heck and I had to build things and sell things super quickly. BUT if there was a pause button I would be able to take a quick breather and just sell things and build a few things then go back to my factories running. Something it could also help with is when I noticed how many mistakes I made on my first few islands, and I wanted to remake them but I knew that if I did. My factory would run out of resources quickly. Thank you for this amazing game!
