Ratings and reviews

Super fun game, played it for a long time. Balancing my resources and production buildings is fun. However, I've sort of gotten to the point where I've constructed thousands of resource buildings and now the game takes forever to load. Would love to see an update sometime to clear this issue but until then, it's sort of unplayable because I can't even start the game up anymore. It's slower than dial-up internet.

Taking a nostalgic look after 5! years. I call this a minimalist game with RTS elements--adding SFX, categorizing items or fast forward option (I'd like to see it but) breaks this essence. Use the picture grids and write down the ratios if you really need it, and if confident try to do it by heart. With more and more information in your hand, try to beat the game faster, giving it a high replay value. I'd easy forgive bugs and errors for making this available without intrusive ads or IAPs.

good overall and engaging altho one problem is that once you buy 10000 or so of a building, the purchasing rate doesn't speed up any more so getting to 100,000 of a building and more is a very very slow process update: whenever i open the app now, it takes about 20 minutes to load. just like that it went from taking 2 or 3 seconds to taking 20+ minutes

What's new

Version 1.05:
- fixed some bugs that were caused by new versions of Android
- as often desired: Added dynamic speed of construction (the longer you push the construction button, the faster the buildings are built)
- added a note, how long it takes until the stores are empty
- added a new highscore list
- some small design and translation fixes
