5 stars: I find this game decently fun, despite the amount of ads in it. I appreciate that the ads are optional, but it's a whole lot harder if you're going to avoid them. If an option to spend some coins or watch the ad was an option, I'd be happy. I've poured a few hours into it now and normally just play it while watching Netflix or while waiting in queue for a PC game, but it's still a good time waster.
5 stars: They don't force you to pay real money or watch ads at all. You could play without spending a single cent or watching a single ad if you wanted to. I watch ads to get the big bonuses it gives you and it's easy to play for a long time (not like most idle games where you play for 5 mins and then close it for the day.) Buying islands makes it feel less repetitive too. Overall a good time waster.
2 stars: Having been designed to make you watch ads, the game is still entertaining.. but it often glitches, not giving you rewards that you've earned. Also, now it stopped letting me open the app, entirely. A brilliant idea if the idea becomes less goal driven and more aesthetic. Fun while it lasted.
