This game would get 5 stars if it didn’t, in my opinion, have a very unethical approach to in-app content. My three and a half year old loves the game. But it is literally IMPOSSIBLE for me as a parent to give him a version that doesn’t MAKE him ask for more. And that puts me on the hook for maybe $100. There is no free version here. Maybe to an adult looking at it. But to a kid, they just see a) all locked content as a part of the main navigation and b) continuous internal ads for that content. Repeat: Paying for content does NOT remove ads that are just a part of this app. And that’s a shame, because frankly, my kid loves it and I can’t afford all of it, so I’m gunna have to delete it. To be clear, the app makes it impossible that my child will be happy with it. That is unethical and also probably not good business practice. If you buy this app your child will quickly be asking you for the rest of the content. If you can afford to throw $100 at it, maybe you get the friendly version of this app that I’d rate highly. But as is, I find the whole thing really insulting and legally suspicious.

We spent a lot of money on this app just to find out they stop giving golden gears and packages to open once you’ve started buying stuff. Also, the treasure hunt is false. There’s never a treasure once you’ve put money into their app. How I know this? My other son doesn’t spend money on the app and he gets all the gears randomly, finds the treasure chest, gets packages to open often. Leaving my other son sad!!! So my advice would be not to spend the money so that your child can enjoy the surprises of gears and treasure chests. Otherwise they’ll just be disappointed and upset crying. PATHETIC! What a scam. THESE ARE CHILDREN

My toddler loves this game but even after paying full price for all of the DLC it still has a button that opens ads for other Budge games. What does this mean? I still can’t sit him down with this without him getting off onto a screen he doesn’t need to be on and getting stuck there. So he plays for a few minutes, hits the “B” button, then whines because it goes to an ad. So I have to stop what I’m doing and get it back to the game. Seriously Budge, I’ve dropped $20 for this game so remove the ads completely you greedy pieces of dirt. Think about your customers and not yourselves.
