Adding to the choir here - this would be hands-down a 5* game if it didn't crash every now and again (usually every 10-15 minutes). While you don't lose a lot of progress, it automatically reloads at the last save and those seem to happen about once a minute or so. It's frustrating and it's easy to lose track of exactly where you are. Fix the crashes and this would be a no-brainer 5* timekiller with no ads and nothing to buy to progress.

A great game but a mediocre port. The web version is great, this is buggy and frustrating. No idle background mode, no dark mode, crashes often, and most infuriatingly, a major part of the game bugged out for me (the first Honor redeem wasn't actually recognized) so I'd wasted a ton of time and game resources that I couldn't get back. Very frustrating and fairly inexcusable.

this is one of my favorite all-time idle games. I've played it to completion in browser several times. and I was excited to see it on the phone, even if it just means I'll play it one more time. The problem I'm having is the game randomly closes and or crashes at random times. sometimes it'll do it after 5 minutes. sometimes it's after 1 minute. most of the time this happens, the last minute or so of progress is not saved and it's making it impossible to play.

Fixed a bug where game did not save as intended and progress could sometimes be lost on crash or exit.
