Bud Farm: Idle Tycoon Game Reviews

by Lover7474

I’m seriously thinking about deleting this game I love it. The concept of the game is awesome. The way it makes you think about where you go with which businesses and what the result will be is wonderful! However in the past month or so I have been so angry because I’m watching videos for the x2 or for buds in either the main game or the events I get NOTHING and the game has to be restarted. I’m unable to advance at all. All in all I’ve lost count of the buds I believe I’m owed but am sure I’ll never get. If or when they get the bugs fixed, this is the best game I’ve ever played. You will love it. It’s addictive though so forget about your other games. I promise you won’t play them once this game hooks you. In the overall concept this game is perfect. Minus the bugs and glitches going on right now. Sandra Denton

I never write reviews, on anything ever, but I’ve been playing this game far too long not to. I’ve loved this game for ages and get so excited when I see new characters during the events, but it’s been made almost impossible to get them half the time. I’ll spend gems (earned for free just by playing) to get further in these events but when four days go by just waiting for a single card to pop up in the “store” it kind of makes it impossible to move forward. I don’t plan on not playing this game but I would at least like for it to be enjoyable again, especially since I’m far along in the episodes that moving forward in the regular game takes forever now. Not even mad at that part since I’ve always had the side events to keep me entertained. It’s just very difficult to enjoy them now when days are spent getting absolutely nowhere with no alternatives on getting the cards needed to move forward.

I’ve been playing for a while but now it’s at the point where the only way to progress is to spend money on diamonds so I can “upgrade” characters. Story lines are lame and very long winded. Should be an option to skip rather than click click click click all the way through a lengthy lame dialogue between characters. Never had issues before but recently (within the last 2-3 weeks) the ads are PAINFULLY redundant… I’ve only been shown ads for TWO games (some mafia game and some King game) that are basically porn. The mafia game (read the reviews) has porn and dildos…and is only rated 12+. The King game is pornBut at least it’s 17+… But it’s extremely annoying because that’s all I get to see. But what makes it worse is that is is now constantly causing the game to freeze so you have to exit out of the game to restart and then you’ve lost the “bonus”You were supposed to get watching these god awful porn ads … Extremely annoying

I have been playing this game a long time and have fun doing so. Most of the time I work to be in the top twenty of events. The latest event I was doing great! In the last couple minutes I spent 19 gems to earn an hour of money. I clearly saw the amount of money show on my tally which would put me to the 4th place the first time ever! A minute later, the event was over and I was in 6th place. The leaderboard did not give me the extra money. Wasted gems. I will still play because I do enjoy the game but I will not put another cent of real money into the game. There are glitches and the top spots in the leaderboard are always obviously not in reach - those positions are determined in the first few minutes of each event. Despite that, I often put a few bucks into the game. You cheat, you don’t deserve it. No more money from me. Dropped from 5 to 3 stars.

I’ve been playing this game for a few years now. I love the characters and stories, and this type of game is super cathartic for me. But this latest update is so irritating that I may uninstall it if a fix doesn’t come soon.

Every push notification comes no less than ten times right after another. What’s worse is that the notifications don’t actually coincide with what is actually going on. The most prominent one is “You’ve earned enough cash to claim your reward!” and I don’t understand why it keeps telling me that when none of my current goals are cash goals. Or it tells me to watch a video to double my rewards when I literally JUST maxed out the timer.

Love this game, but the bugs in this game are starting to get more annoying than anything. I have been playing this game for over a year and had it saved to Facebook. Well, I had to get a new phone and when I transferred everything over to this phone I literally had to start over from chapter one! I was on chapter 70-73. Not too concerned I’ll just start over. Well now I can’t even see the top bar like where the gems and stuff are so I have to guess. Also most recently in the last two events. They haven’t started on time. Says and then we end up losing time and don’t get to finish. The event chest have sucked in the last few times not really helping out like they use too.

The game is a lot of fun, it keeps you busy for hours but a lot of it is all repetition. You have to constantly stay in game to get money and watch 30 second ads for gems. Although you do build up more gems through ads and events than other games it does get tiresome. The events are cute but again repetitive it’s the same 2 “24 hour” events over and over and one longer 70 hour event that repeats once a week or so as well. As with all pay for play games you will never complete an event unless you can spend 24 hours a day playing and clicking or you spend money. The overall game play is fun but it’s for someone who enjoys repetitive play.

I love this game, I really do, I even admit to pumping a few bucks into it. I lost my first account which honestly I pumped more than a few bucks into and said I wouldn’t do that again and I haven’t. The past few updates and more events have really improved the game. You had something with the 2 events where you could collect bus every 5 minutes instead of the 10 on the regular. It’s so hard to get all the cards you need to automate the last level of the event, while we have to sit here for hours clicking every 36 seconds it would be nice to at least collect buds every 5 minutes so when we fail to hit the last prize or two because no one can be on any game that many hours were at least have extra buds to carry over. I was impressed to see the last guy in the store where you could get him with buds but I’d say put him on there once or twice a day, since people from all over play. You have a good concept, and spending a few bucks here and there isn’t bad, but what I spent on the account I lost was. I can’t justify spending that much it when I switch phones I’m going to my account. And yes it was linked to all options. Anyway, I’ve actually done better starting over. Mostly just hoping you’ll consider bringing back the 5 minute bud pop up for events. It was really nice!!! Thank you for a pretty good game!!

Over all, this is entertaining. The mini-events are fun, although almost regularly are not ready to go when promised. Which is annoying.
The in-app purchases are RIDICULOUSLY PRICED! Im down for spending a $1 every once in a while on these games, hell, I'd even spend the $2 for gems, if it came with MORE gems. The cheapest (and by FAR least useful) power up you can buy costs 19 gems! Even a kind of useful purchase costs 50 gems, which I can't buy with my $2 purchase, it turns into a $4 purchase if I want real help, and that's stupid. You may as well charge me for a premium app.
Change the prices of SOMETHING because it's getting old!

I've enjoyed this game so far for the most part, with a few exceptions. The first (and most glaringly noticeable) thing is that after signing back in from doing other things on my phone. When it tells you how much you've accumulated offline and gives you the option of ”doubling” the amount you made by watching a video, it's not actually double. It's usually off by several thousand dollars, sometimes more. Please fix this so that we’re ACTUALLY doubling our profits. Second is the microtransactions and how often cards are earned to upgrade (mostly) characters. I'm not trying to dump $20 bucks just to buy some gems to in turn buy some buds to upgrade my characters. Getting businesses to automate is pretty costly, and makes me lose interest.

Game is fun except when trying to get cards for characters and businesses and not being able to get them it makes the game boring and uneventful. A strong feeling of waiting in a line and not knowing if you can ever get to the front and while you keep checking to see if you can accomplish anything. As you keep looking every couple of hours and nothing is happening you feel as if you’re bogged down and the game is shutting you out and not allowing you to play unless you pay. Other than that at times game play is fun when it lets you play.

However, I must write a complaint. I finally gave in and started doing the free gem in game option and purchased a manscaped lawnmower 3.0, and then purchased a baby Newton bed. I I received my gems for the first one and never received for my 2nd one I chose both of these cause they were worth 800+ gems. I’m very disappointed because I even sent a picture of proof that I did make that purchase and still never received it. All and all though I’m downright addicted to this game. I do t know if you could still help me out with this issue but I will still be playing this game. Probably won’t be using the free gem part of the game though sadly. You should receive it upon completion 100% of the time. Cause this happens.

This game is wonderful to play. I don’t mind watching ads to get bonuses. The bonuses are helpful to advance in the game but more and more the ads are hard to close. I’m not going to fight the ads to close. That means I’m not going to keep watching them. It also means the game will be exponentially harder to advance. As so, I quit.
I think it’s a reasonable expectation to have ads that close easily and have x that can be easily tapped. However, the ads are not easy to close and waste unnecessary time trying to close them.
The point in playing games is to relax, but the frustration of the ads isn’t relaxing. So, this is goodbye to what is a relatively fun game with an amusing story line.

Game is fun And all but I feel like they don’t give you enough buds for the amount that they require for you to upgrade the characters I mean seriously 2-4 buds for every customer bonus is just ridiculous when you want 750 for each character not to mention the free buds you get every 24 hours with the stonehenge only 20! And where are the cards to upgrade the stonehenge? Never seen one basically they want money in order to get anything done without it taking weeks in between stories, it’s a weed game my guys we spend our money on real weed...make the game easier and more fun bros...

Hey don’t get me wrong I enjoy the game. Having said that I do feel that having bots or farmers being allowed to play in the events I do find rather annoying like how can I stand to compete with a program or someone who just plays this all day. I enjoy the game for its idle game play meaning I can work, socialize or even sleep and things still move and I can come back to it but to allow that kinda stuff for events when people are trying to get the character unlocks is just annoying

I’ve never reviewed a game till today. This is not the average Idle game. It’s something more. It is a strategy driven, decision making, puntastic, over the top game. Don’t let the stigma of herb fool you because it’s for tokers and non cannabis lovers alike. Except pot haters. It’s not for you. After Episode 6 is where it takes off. The episodes are simple and have great stories. The Events are where it’s at. Everyone wins something just for making an effort. The creators are super involved in the community and everything is winnable without having to spend real money. Issues that arise are promptly answered and everything is maintained so well. I never expected to love a game so much. Thank you for all the sleepless nights of not being able to put my phone down.

I really like this game and have had a lot of fun with it. I’ve been playing it for a long time and would give it 5 stars but for one issue.... it doesn’t allow you to start fresh.

Recently I decided I wanted to start over from the beginning. No particular reason, I was bored and I wanted to start fresh. However, when I deleted and reinstalled the game, a move that usually erases most games, it started me back at the same place. M

Sure m, okay, it’s weird to want to start over abs I’m sure not many people - if anyone - would be annoyed with this .... but I am.

I want a way to erase my game and start fresh if I so desire. Give me that and it’ll be 5 star worthy.

**update** I originally gave this 4 star but Support reached out to me and explained why a reset button wasn’t offered and I agree with the reason. So I’m amending my rating to 5 stars because it really is a great game!

Fun game, one of the few that remains on my phone (only have 3 games), but wish they would update it to look better on the iPhone 13s. Screen proportions are off and you can’t see some things that you need to see to play the game.

Also would like to see more market options to spend bud on (limited to 3).

Update: Developers responded to this review mentioning that they are already working on a update to fix this. Adjusted my stars due to them addressing the issue and taking the time to respond to feedback!

by Bluebayley

This game is my go to when I need clear my head. Dive into the story mode or event and loose yourself in this budtastistic paradise while you grow your this app business. This game is easy enough you don’t have to over think your next move to win and get frustrated about loosing. Yet requires you to strategize your best use of your money to boost your income in the game. But not only is the game itself amazing the episode stories are always funny and features characters that you can’t help but enjoy there personalities. Thank you to the creators I truly enjoy this game!

I love this game. I play it ALL the time. However, during the last 3 or so events, I’m unable to collect an cash from my businesses that aren’t automated. Instead of allowing me to collect the cash I waited for, it STARTS THE TIMER OVER 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️. I’m losing out on so much money I’ve waited for and it’s becoming increasingly annoying. It only allows me to collect the money if I sit there the entire time and wait. I can’t sit there for 3 hours straight watching a ring fill up just to collect the money. Other than this new issue, I do really enjoy this game. It only seems to be affecting the events, not the main game.

by Bobofettechini

I’ve been playing for over a year now and for the past few months, the rewards for events have been showing I have earned all of them each event, only when it comes out to receive my rewards, I get less than it showed because the event is so glitches it shows I’ve earned further than I actually have. Currently, it shows I’ve earned all but 3 rewards, then go into the actual list of what I’ve earned, it shows 10 left to get! I’m seriously about to stop playing this game as the events have gotten so bad, they’re not enjoyable, broken, and it’s the same 4-5 of them just repeated. There’s really not much variety. Plus, you can only place top 10 in the leaderboards for those prizes that you ONLY get from leaderboards, is if you pay real money. There’s not even the ability to purchase them with outlandish amounts of gems. So yeah, they say you can earn gems to buy stuff, but that’s super limited as well. There’s other games out there just like this that are more friendly to the casual or minimal pay player

I really enjoy this game. However, I rely on the ads to get extra buds, and lately BudFarm has been crashing each and every time I play an ad. Whether it be for the 2x multipliers or extra buds, the ap crashes almost every time. Sometimes I’ll get lucky and I’ll get the buds anyway, but usually I just have to reload.

While this is not the biggest problem on the day to day, it does put a significant damper on my play during the events. I hope this problem gets fixed, if it was I would change my rating to 5 stars and edit my review to include positives, as of right now, the crashes are making this game quickly fall into deletion for me.
