I totally get the need for ads in a free game, and that’s all fine and dandy, but I am often in areas with no WiFi and most of the time no cell signal, so I seek out games that don’t force a data connection. This game, even with the forced ads, allowed me to still play without data, until today. Now, when I launch the game and have no data connection, I get a screen that pops up saying “No internet! Reconnect to continue.” This was a game I played primarily because it was something I could do while I had no data, but this makes the game worthless to me now, as I have far more engaging games that I prefer to play when I do have data. Given the developer’s absolute greed, and requirement of a data connection, I’m deleting the app. Oh well, it was rather boring anyway, just sitting there waiting for money to rack up, like watching paint dry.
I paid to have the 10x booster and 5x booster going for literally an hour straight, and everything is maxed included the town map part, physically can’t do anymore, and I have been leaving my phone on past two nights all night long on charger with no ads, so it’s counting whole entire time and max I’ve gotten to is 2.4 OO nowhere anywhere close to get 8PP at this rate it would take over 150$ of my own money to go towards boosters and over like 4 weeks with boosters going 24/7 to get to even 1 Pp, game just ends boring
Update same day of writing: there’s only x5 and x10 boosters. My bad. 😳 So. I’m gonna make this short for everyone’s convenience. It’s mostly a great game, but as a lot of other reviewers have mentioned, canada is literally unreachable. You need 6pp of whatever you call your money in this game, but i have everything maxed out, even the little city thing that’s new-ish. I have never even reached 1pp, and you’re telling me to do that six more times? No way. I even have the x2 boosters on all the time, and 700nn is the farthest i’ve EVER got. Devs, you need to either buff money a LOT late game, make the x3 and x4 boosters normal drops, or just freaking make canada cheaper to unlock. 🤦♂️🤦♂️ (p.s. the review is only five stars so more people can see this.)
