It's a fun game if you're trying to kill time. I wish there was more flexibility with designing the factory because you don't get to choose how many machines there are and each new machine in the line goes slower than the one before it even when you max out the speed and you can't choose to make more to even out the production speed

Though the game could have a reasonably fun core gameplay loop, the entire experience is ruined by one of the most insidious and predatory monetization schemes I've ever seen. Most of the game's higher tiered content is locked behind timed events which cannot be cleared without multiple RMT expenditures, most of which are at the mind of price point I would expect a game to remove all pay- and ad-gates at. I wish I could get my money back. This studio should be ashamed of themselves.

Severely disappointed with this game played for roughly a week spent roughly $100 or more on the game and like several other people went to play the game one day and it would not go past the loading screen tried to clear caches and everything else to get it to work it would not finally had to uninstall the game and reinstall it on my phone without deleting any of my data but when I tried to play the game again I had to start from scratch. Literally very disappointing and disgusting.

I really wanted to be àble to play this game! I have to reinstall this game 3 times now, losing all my progress every time! Everytime it gets to the expand the workshop part where I have to accept a delivery of lumber the screen freezes up and I can't go on in the game. If it wasn't for that I enjoy the game, but I won't be reinstalling it a 4th time. If I could give it 0 stars I would.

Game has consistently gone downhill, as the developers have made it practically impossible to finish most events without paying money. Used to be fun, now it's a money grab & pay to finish events. I understand they are in business to make money, but they have gone crazy by increasing the requirements to finish events to an insane amount. Find something different.

To the development team, (a sarcastic response). Your "fixes" and "pleasing changes" have only served to alienate long time players and created a game that only new players recognize. You've taken away long time advantages, and you've made methods of earning rewards more stringent. You failed to implement any actual player suggested changes. Much of the fun is gone from the game. It has become pay to play. To anyone reading this, this game has only gotten worse since the sale to app quantum.

For the first few times you play its a fun time waster. You can quickly build up production revenue if you take breaks and watch ads to double it when you return. But its for nothing because you'll quickly find that when it comes time to spend on upgrades, the costs to increase productivity, add a truck, etc get multiplied by 20x or more for your effort. You didn't really gain a whole lot for watching those stupid ads.

Terrible experience, takes money and then the app conveniently doesn't work. So I reach out to support via email only for them to close the ticket before actually assisting me and then reach out via the game after reinstalling it for them to not respond to my messages after asking for a refund when they couldn't provide basic assistance. Don't download this app and spend ANY money, it's a waste of time.

Problems problems, I get to the computerized log mill and the game crashes. I tried everything they have recommended, deleted and reinstalled only to lose everything and then the same problem I get to the computerized log mill and I can't even get into th game it just sits and loads and nothing happens. Fun game when it actually works.

Would give 0 stars. It's okay in the beginning, but after maybe a few hours of play, you won't even get past the loading screen. I've tried everything from reconnecting to the internet, restarting my phone, and clearing cache. Nothing works. And even with all of that, you won't get very far unless you watch ads. Long story short, an ad based game that crashes your phone over and over.
