This game is a well developed game, starting from the art to basically the game. At first, it pulls you in. It seems interesting from the ad so that you want to play it. As you play, it starts off pretty good, but then when you get to the expensive things, it’s impossible. Obviously, you wait to get enough cash to buy something, that’s why it’s called an idle game. But when things get too expensive, all your doing is going into the game for 10 seconds and then leaving. I went 5 minutes into the game and prices were already in the millions. And don’t get me started on the ads. Constantly, you keep getting requests to watch an ad. Obviously, there should be a reward for watching an ad, but the amount in this game is way too much. When you watch an ad to get a large amount of students, it’s almost like a rip off. More than half of the students you watched an ad for to come leave. HP is one of my favorite book series and movies. It’s entertaining and makes you think, “What’s going to happen next? I wanna see it!.” This game is nothing compared to HP. Now, it’s not a crazy copy because it doesn’t show too much, but you can obviously tell from what it’s based off of. Creator, I would recommend doing something so where the players could buy a ‘no ad’ game pass, but still getting the things that you would get from ads once in a while. That could make some money and loosen up the anger from ads. Decent content.
This is the best idle farming game I’ve ever played. The developers have done a fabulous job with the theme and art (clearly inspired by Harry Potter but with its own look). I love the mechanics of game. Leveling up is not limited by how fast a check-out clerk can process the customers. There are multiple ways to make gold, and the gem and coin accrual rate and the leveling cards are all well-balanced. And the music is actually enjoyable to listen to! I took one star away for two reasons: the in-game text could use a better editor, and—and I cannot stress this enough—the number of students allowed into the school is limited to 144, when I really think that number should go up as the number of classes goes up. The extra train cars are going to waste at the moment. Fix this, and I’ll be a happy customer.
Whoever did the art for this game, that person is AMAZING! The style is so cute and I honestly wish I got to see it a little more than the little blob people, but those blob people are also cute and simple as well 💞 I got an ad for this game on Facebook and I kind of expected it to be some weird Harry Potter thing but I was really wrong! It just looks inspired, and I understand that completely! I’m so sorry for judging before I downloaded it. I can’t wait to keep playing it - not to compare, but I like the progress rate a lot more in this than in other similar games as well. I’ll always support this game as long as it stays as user-friendly as it is currently, and I doubt it’ll turn money hungry in the future because it looks so wholehearted and genuine Great job on making this! I love idle games, wizards and art, and this is such a cute combination of all three! Although PLEASE add in more complete drawings, they’re literally the best thing ever (I’ve never seen an app with official art that cute)
Magic idle gameplay is exciting! The game is inspired by many wizard stories and puts magic in the hands of gamers. You can become a school tycoon in...
