Idle game the way they should be done

This is definitely a change of pace for the genre. It involves a lot more strategy and you need to balance the use of cash in order to keep production flowing as seamlessly as possible. Mines, transports, processing, etc all have to be calibrated to maximize profit.
My favorite thing is that not once have I been forced to watch an add nor do you have to in order to properly play the game. The animations are great and the ad bonuses are worth the time. The only thing that’s annoyed me so far is that sometimes in order to rank up you have to open chests or collect daily bonuses so you end up stuck for a couple of days on a level without much else to do. Remove those as rank up criteria and you’ll have a bullseye with this game.

Great game with flaws

Since no one seems to answer any of the support emails here’s a few things that may help the game.

I’ve played the game on and off since it came out. I always end up topping out and moving on to come back. Still has some of same issues it always has though. The fact the game forces you to get the first daily bonus right before moving to level 4 where you need the daily bonus to progress is stupid. You literally make us wait and entire day to progress one of the most simple levels. I think this is a huge set back for people who are trying to enjoy the game. But my biggest issue is with the diamond mine. No matter how much you upgrade the storage for the mine the dozer comes through with one pile and stacks it to the brim and then continues to bring the other piles even though you can’t collect it, so you have to constantly up the transport trucks in order not to lose the material, then when you finally do catch up even though the factory has material it randomly stops producing even though there’s materials causing a back up of material to stay on the truck and lose the possible money from it. The diamond mine has been long over looked and it’s kind of annoying for as great a game as it is. If you could just make it flow like the gold mine and how it should be it would be great.

Other than that it’s an awesome game to just pass time. The only reason for the low rating is due to the above mentioned issues that have been over looked continuously.

Game renders itself pointless very quickly

You can only level your equipment up to certain tiers before you have to level up completely. I’ve been stuck on level 7 for awhile now because it requires rare manager cards which in my daily chests I haven’t gotten any and even spent in game cash on the epic chests that only gave me regular managers too. I can’t level up my equipment anymore so I can’t play anything in the game since I can’t level up without those cards. It’ll also ask you for 3+ chests to level up so you have to wait hours for that since you only get one every 4 hours. Even if everything is maxed out and you need to level up to continue playing, you have to wait hours and sometimes days to get one you need to level up.

Also in most idle games, when you level up, it starts you over but allows you to build back to the place you were at really quickly. In this game when you level up, you just start over with nothing. Any money you accumulated is lost and you are back to square one. You can level your equipment up to the next tier now, but you’ll start at the bottom tier again and have to spend hours getting yourself up to that point again.

The game has a good idea going but how they executed it is bad. Waiting hours and hours accumulating money while waiting for the managers cards or daily chests in order to level up, only to lose all of that money and start the game completely over and have to wait hours or days again to level up again.
