Ok.. so I have been playing this for several days now, and I think I have played it enough to write a review. This starts off as a pretty nice idle game, there are new things at each level and bonuses and restarting with golden bricks seems to genuinely help.. for a while.
After playing a number of levels the benefits start disappearing... Tourism is entirely useless as it costs more to upgrade than you ever get out of it, and you can't speed it up... so I have never seen a positive return from it and I am not sure why I buy it every time other than perhaps that it looks cool.
At first the helicopter seems extraordinarily useful.. so much rock... that you can't process.. And the game becomes a slog with the mocking good amounts of rock making you think you can keep getting to higher levels.. after days of work.. constantly running your mammoth or making hay... and then nothing.. no new bonuses... yes you supposedly get science when you get to space.. I am working very very slowly on the 4th level above the heli... Golden bricks add so little anymore that it isn't even worth restarting... If I don't get science upon completing this level I am just going to forget about this game. Unfortunately I suspect science will only add a temporary boost because I bet the artifacts are single purchases... It has already stopped being fun and is nothing more than a slog.
In short.. the game lacks balance. It lacks the feeling of constant reward that keeps people playing idle games.For all I know there could be spectacular things to come, but I don't want to grind level after level with no reward to get there... I know at this point it will probably take me another day or two to finish the level I am trying to build... I have played a lot of idle games, and restarting once per day tends to be a pretty good grove. If you have to grind for more than a day to make progress the game is unbalanced.
Edit: Tower level 13.. No clock, no science, no upgrades. This game is trash. Interestingly I looked up the game. It is not version 1.1.1 it is at least on version 1.1.9. This makes me wonder, why would a game maker publish an old version? Also, tower level and golden bricks don't seem to be pushing to the leader board.
I am going to call this game a bust, I would not recommend it to anyone unless and until the games mechanics are fixed and re-balanced unless you desperately love a long pointless slog. Also rescinding my previous rating and reducing my rating to two stars.
