fantastic game, I've been in love with it for years. with the crashing issues fixed I can safely put this review back where it belongs, at 5 stars

★★★★

Dawson Hampton

The game recently became mostly stable! Crashes only make you lose about a minute of progress now (thanks to whoever included autosaves) and they happen on average once every 30 minutes of play. This review isn't five stars because of the rare crashes.

★★★

Crashes often, doesn't save your game. EDIT: After several updates, the game IS playable now, however, I'm still crashing every hour or two, often enough for my phone to warn me about it. Design wise, the game is decent, a bit complicated for what it is, and you'll definitely need some sort of guide because the game doesn't offer much info on what you can do and how what you do affects other factors of play

★★

Mallory Bolling

A great game but a mediocre port. The web version is great, this is buggy and frustrating. No idle background mode, no dark mode, crashes often, and most infuriatingly, a major part of the game bugged out for me (the first Honor redeem wasn't actually recognized) so I'd wasted a ton of time and game resources that I couldn't get back. Very frustrating and fairly inexcusable.

this is one of my favorite all-time idle games. I've played it to completion in browser several times. and I was excited to see it on the phone, even if it just means I'll play it one more time. The problem I'm having is the game randomly closes and or crashes at random times. sometimes it'll do it after 5 minutes. sometimes it's after 1 minute. most of the time this happens, the last minute or so of progress is not saved and it's making it impossible to play.
