It’s a fun and clever game. I really like the artwork too.
But the timers for crafting or trading only count during active play, which means no toggling or off game time crafting, even though they’re automatic timers. These can be skipped by watching ads, so I get trying to get your ads viewed for money, but when there’s a timer for 1 hour — there’a no way to complete it without watching an ad.
This makes your game an ad-watching game, since there is really no other choice. Add the fact that any time you view your backpack/inventory or walk over the “shop” access box (just walk over it, not select it) a pop up ad appears — it just makes it a very ad heavy game.
When you have to be in the game for an hour or watch an ad for 5 fuel, and the quest requires 100 fuel — you’re either inside the game (no toggling!) for 20 hours, or you have to watch 20 ads.
I don’t mind watching an ad to speed up some crafting, but 20 hours in game time is not achievable, so you have to watch 20 ads — 20.
Also, running your game to try to reach 20 hours, my battery dies within 4 hours and it makes my phone incredibly hot.
Please alter the timers to run while not within the game. We’ll still watch the ads to speed up crafting.
