Tap tap
This is a great game the only thing I wish I could get the game I was playing on my old phone I now have a iPhone and when I was playing I was on a Android..
Ads take up a third of the screen
Im nit even joking i started playing and immediately got and ad that covered 1/3 of the screen. How is this playable.
2 things (Edited)
1. So, i was thinking you know how people only live in apartment buildings, i was thinking about great game changes for T.T.B. then i had an idea for a new building in main, a “lot” it is a lot for sale that a family can live. After 2 - 5 days after the building being built, a random house design & size will be on the plot. Design: There will be a “Normal Design” section (5 Normal house designs) and a “Special Design” section (5 Cool house designs) If you want to edit the house design to a normal house design it’ll cost 25,000 In-game dollars, if you want to change the house design to a special design it costs 1 golden key. Size: There are 6 options: Option 1: Tiny, costs 25,000 In-game dollars. Option 2: Small, costs 50,000 In-game dollars. Option 3: Normal, costs 100,000 In-game dollars. Option 4: Medium, costs 150,000 In-game dollars. Option 5: Large, costs 200,000 In-game dollars. Option 6: Extremely Large, costs 250,000 In-game dollars. Please read this/ make it the next update, it took over 2 & a half hours! 2. So, I’m i have 10/31 achievements completed according to the “Obelisk of Victory” building, BUT! My Game Center account says that i have ZERO of 25 achievements accomplished, !!!NOTICE!!! The App Store says that T.T.B. Is compatible to Game Center, even though it doesn’t link the achievements you accomplished from T.T.B. to Game Center, pls fix! Please RE-read
Fun but a few problems
The game is fun as a concept but while playing it was executed poorly, everything costs too much and the gameplay is just boring and slow, everything costs energy and the energy takes hours to refill,
Annoying
The build limit is so dumb. It keeps saying I need to build more jobs and living space but I can’t without leveling up. Which is also really hard after a while
Goated
Nostalgia from this came from an older device I used to love this game (still do) I barely got the architectural administration now I’m level 80 (at the time of writing this review) and I wanna say PLAY THIS GAME it’s old but gold
Money disappears
Every night your money disappears for no reason, sent in multiple bug reports for it with no fix, would give 5 stars if it would be fixed
Great Game But…
This game is a good game, However I have one issue that bugs me. The achievements are great, but they won’t sink to iOS Game Center. I am unsure how this affects Google Play or other achievement trackers. Another thing. Great Ad system!!! But… the top banner ad is vey annoying. It blocks the ability to see critical resources. Overall this game is good and I understand that ads are necessary to keep the game free, but all I ask is that they disappear occasionally so players can see the resources.
Game is awesome.. except
For the energy function on the iPhone. Build a gym and rebuild energy whenever... until you realize it’s limited per 4 hours. Crap.
I like it but the ads are intrusive
I enjoy the game for what it is but the banner ads take up 1/3 of my screen at the worst which prompts me a full restart. If there was a way to pay to remove the ads then this app would be 5 stars
SO GREAT!
BEST GAME. I USED TO HAVE THIS ON A OLDER DEVICE. NO ADS. but I would like you guys to get rid of the ad strip, and the free ruby key thing that constantly comes up
Run out of space to build
Bad
Fun but….
I love this game. The graphics, the buildings and the whole other stuff. However, every time I upgrade a building there is a staff shortage. So, please fix that bug. Thx!

Good
Everything
Ok, I haven’t played this game since 2020, and there are several things wrong with the game. For one, the fitness center won’t let me gain muscle even though it’s at 100%, there is also a bug which won’t let me view other peoples cities and also the fact that there are only around 70 people playing this even though there used to be way much more, restaurants don’t hand out money at 1-3pm anymore and the advertisement system tends to fail when you want an item you want. This is just the issues I am experiencing right now so please fix these bugs and I’m sure not only me but many other users will appreciate it, thanks! Still a fun game and a good idea of one
A review
Not bad, frequent updates are what we want
No customer service
I played the game for 3 days. I got stuck trying to figure out how to upgrade buildings. I messaged developers the response said it would be 3 days for a response, seven days later I am deleting the app.
Goodish
It is fun but it keeps freezing
Meh
Says no timers but you have to wait for energy and strength to replenish so it's basically a timer
Mildly Disappointed
Solid game with great, fun ways to work around the energy recovery being the main limiting factor. In your most recent patch notes I noticed that you said you doubled ad rewards, but I’m noticing that you might have actually halved the rewards and just doubled or maybe tripled the amount of ads you have to watch in order to get those rewards. Maybe I’m misunderstanding the most recent changes, but it’s something I certainly took note of since I’ve been playing the game on and off for about 5 years. I’m not one to give weak reviews of a game that I genuinely enjoy playing and spend time on every day, but it just seems like a cash grab and makes things less enjoyable for me.
Love this game! 🏗️
This game is great! Ads are minimum, many buildings to choose from🏢🏡. Updates regularly, I LOVE that I can trade resources with other players! Great game without building timers! Recommend to anyone.
Very upset!! Stole my money, after I purchased something they took it!!!!
I am very upset right now I just spent $30 of my own cash in this game buying 49 red keys for $19.99 and the Management Certificate for $9.99 and I log back in today and it’s all gone I have nothing and I’m tying to figure out what happened to all of my stuff I just purchased. Also I level up a lot of my buildings and got to Level 28 and the last building I unlocked was the tax office now all of my progress is gone and I am now at Level 25.... Please give me some answers and fix this I am very upset and mad I didn’t spend money just to have it go to waste I work hard for my money.... Update!!!!!! I would have given no stars but your not allowed to. I contacted the developer about my situation and how my items that I had just purchased in their game had gone missing and they told me that there is nothing that they can do for me. This came after one of them told me that if I sent them a screenshot of my purchase that they could at least generate a code to replace the Ruby Keys and Management Certificate, now they are insisting I contact Apple to get my money back telling me that they can’t assist me now and I’m confused on why I have to contact Apple when my money didn’t go to Apple it went to them. Now they are ignoring my emails and not responding to them even when I asked them about just generating a code to replace the items. Don’t spend your money in this game they will rip you off and then ignore you and not try to assist with the problem, they don’t care they just got free money!!!! Update: To the developer of this app you keep saying you will answer me in an email yet I have emailed you asking why you can’t just generate a code to give me my items back and yet no one has answered me back in over a week. Other than a week ago telling me you can’t help me about taking my money and that I have to go through Apple, whom i purchased nothing from at all. Your team suggested giving me a code before I showed proof of my in app purchase but once I presented my proof of purchase I haven’t gotten an answer from anyone on your team anymore. SO PLEASE DO NOT WRITE ME SAYING THAT YOU WILL ASSIST ME VIA EMAIL BECAUSE YOU WILL NOT‼️‼️ I’ve been emailing your team since October 16,2019 and it is now November 2,2019 the last email I sent to your team in a response to what they wrote to me was on October 25,2019 it is still unanswered and I check my email every single day.
It’s okay
I guess it’s okay but please add more stuff like a sports area please
Developers got greedy
I was really enjoying this game, it's a great time passer. But now it has forced ads, I was happy to watch the adds voluntarily for in-game rewards. But popping ads up all the time for no benefit is just them being greedy
Fun but...
Does the chat feature not work? I’d love to be able to chat in game but can’t figure out how to connect to other players?!
BEST GAME EVER!
I love this game and when I mean I love it I mean I LOVE this game it’s so fun I love the new updates were you get daily rewards and the daily bonuses it makes it more interesting and easier. Maybe adding some new buildings and maybe it stead of making the upgrades ending in 9 or 4 it should either end in 5 or 0 so it could be an actual ending to the building upgradement. Thanks! :)
Upset
Won’t even load app it’ll show the Herocraft logo but, then shut me out of the app fully. The bug continues this non stop, even after a full phone restart.
Land making
Can you make land
Fix please
I like the game and think it's awesome but what gets me is that you say I can build a blackjack. When I go to look to build it, I just can't find it.
No Ruby’s
Purchased twice Ruby’s for 9.99 didn’t received anything l. Tried emailing customer and It doesn’t exist... what a rip off
Great game
I have loved this game for many years and have played it through a number of times. However, I am unable to view others cities no matter what I do. I realize this game isn’t worked in much as it’s pretty much done but I would like to see this change so I can work with my friends. Great simple game!
Not being able to collect from reataurants
Please correct this issue it has been going on for a few days now where I cannot collect income from restaurants
Two can play this game
My husband is in prison he put me up on this game. So we play it together which I really kool. I’m out here and he is in there. It feels like we are connected. The game is fun easy and addictive lol We enjoy it a lot we have only been playing it for 17 days now. Browns!!!!
FIX
So I was really happy and I played the game but like when I was playing I lost all my energy and I can continues I couldn't upgrade because I needed money so I can't proceed or anything Please fix thanks
Updates?
Hi just wondering if you will continue to update this game with events. Last update was 9 months ago thanks.
Any new updates soon? :(
I really enjoy this game but with no major updates or improvements; its fading.
Won't load
It will not load it looked like a fun game but I can't play it. I am honestly a little ticked off about that. So plz fix it!
Good
I mean overall the game is good I just think it needs easier ways to get Ruby keys and more buildings
Upset
I was originally loving this game. I thought it was intelligent and fun. Occasionally the game would crash, however it was not a big deal as I would exit and reload the game and it would work fine. Since the new update however, every single time I have opened the game it has crashed within a few seconds of loading. I am hopeful that this can be fixed as obviously I can not play a game which will not open and I will have to delete this game from my phone.
Mise à jour
Très bon jeu mais ils seraient dû pour faire une mise a jour.
Awesome Sim Game!
I love this game! It’s the only mobile game that I play, too! This is the only one like it, which is what I like. I wish the developers would create another one like it. I’ve been playing it for over two years and I still enjoy playing. Get this one, you won’t regret it!
No Playtime
I'm sure it's a great game but it needs an update. Every time I open the app it crashes right when it's about to start the game. I love the idea to tap the building instead of time but I would really like to try it. Haven't even been able to play it once...😭💩
Where the updates at
The game is ded
A poor mans clicker.
Honestly, any clicker which forces ads on you while you're clicking is terrible. Especially because they are full screen videos with no warning. The game is "alright" but then let down by these ads.
Latest update brought intrusive ads and...
a few graphics glitches. Still playable, but will rate higher when a future build improves these issues.
Awesome
This game is really fun
Grrrr
I had to delete my favourite game but after that it still did not load
Great game!
It’s a great game to pass the time too just build, and have a pet virtual pet project going!
Crash down my buildings go
Deleted app because it's unplayable the load screen takes an hour and then when I do any tapping the game crashes, though tbh Apple is horrible when it comes to stability
Needs Syncing
I love this game and would rate it a 5 star...but not until syncing is added. I want to be able to play my city on my iPad at home and be able to sync & play my SAME city on my iPhone while I'm out and about. Seriously, please consider adding this feature.
