I used to hop on this game fairly often when watching something or whenever i had a little freetime to waste and it was easy entertainment for free. Recently I hopped on the game and it is now completely flooded with ads. Before ads were optional, for example you could watch an ad to open a treasure chest or watch an ad to spin the wheel and get a point multiplier. Games that do this are the best kinds of games because you actually find it worth it to watch ads for rewards since you’re not constantly getting swamped in ads. Now they have changed the game and you basically get an ad everytime you do anything(claim a reward, open a crate, buy something, just randomly in the middle of playing). Ontop of that there is no ad cooldown so you can watch an ad to spin the wheel and then immediately get another ad 3 seconds later. Sadly in the creators atempt to earn more money by flooding the game with ads they probably are earning less by pushing people away considering i went from jumping on and watching 20-50 ads voluntarily(since it was actually to earn something) and now i barely play and when i do i usually stop after about the 5th ad. Hopefully the change this it just makes it feel like one of those terrible games that needs all the help it can get to succeed even though its a good game and even has in game currency purchases.

I have hit 2 massive walls in the game that prevent any progression whatsoever. After the 12th zone, everything gets idiotically expensive and after 2 weeks, I’m 1% of the way there, primarily because offline income is only based on upgrades and not crew and items as well. Also the 31st quest is to get 10 crew, however even getting 5 without paying the devs is a challenge. Since the gems you pay for the crew doubles every time you buy one, and it’s a premium currency only available from quests (and the lucky wheel) that quest is basically impossible Edit- pay wall moved back an area, now watching ads for bonuses doesn’t give you the reward. Add a way to get gems from normal gameplay (ad free) and also fix the arena (I’ve played this game for almost a year and people get a ridiculous amount more money in the 6-minute tournaments than I get in normal gameplay - their money is trillions upon trillions more - I get 10 billion in a tournament, 100 nonillion in normal gameplay, and they get 13 septendecillion - which has somewhere around 23 more zeroes after it than 100 nonillion) and this gets 5 stars. Edit - game freezes a lot now

I wrote to support, no answer, and I’m having the same problem a lot of people seem to be having. Why is my XP rate at a crawl?? Will increase my rating when the problem is fixed. Update: I’ve written support three times. No response, no fix. I still get a lot of XP at the right rate, then it’s gone and back to a crawl. I can only imaging people who spent money on this are outraged. FIX YOUR GAME!! 2nd update: same issue. I prestige, everything is good, then as soon as I close and reopen the app, same problem. No response. No fix. Sorry to anyone who has wasted time and worse, wasted money on this game. It’s not even my game but I feel like someone should apologize. To the developers, you could have just left it alone, it was a fine game, but you decided to ruin it. Again, very sorry for anyone who has wasted time watching ads, or worse, spending money on this game. It used to be fun. Now it’s garbage. 3rd update: Finally received a response. They said they’re going to do an update that will restore normal XP rate. I’ll believe it when I see it. No word as to how they’re making up for lost time/money.
