There are only 45 levels and they go by fast. Ads pop up every 1 min and 30 seconds of game play. I used a stopwatch to check. The game concept is enjoyable. Each level I played took about 10 minutes on average. So approximately 6 ads every level of game play. If you spend the $4.99 for no ads at 45 levels that's approximately 5 hours of game play, then what. I rounded up on purpose to include oil and brick building. If there were more then 45 levels I'd probably pay the $4.99. Its a no for me.

It was a decent game until I hit level 45 where the game. It no longer has any more levels and there are no resets to replay any completed levels. All that is left at the end is an oil rig to collect passive income and a museum mini-game where you collect trash bags NPCs leave and the occasional gemstone. There is a portal-like structure in the small museum, but it requires a high amount of stars that you can't acquire even if you get all the stars available in the whole 45 levels.

The amount of gameplay to ad ratio is absolutely unacceptable. I have to sit through sometimes upwards of a MINUTE of gameplay before I can watch the ads :/ And when I DO get ads, they never last long enough. At most? maybe a minute. So, I get a minute of gameplay, and only a minute of ads. Fix the ratio. At least give us 5min of ads, if you're gonna make us sit through a minute of gameplay.
