From Julian
I love the game it make me go crazy and I forgot my Duolingo lesson. to Idle Area 51
Loading…
it loads forever, i haven’t even started the game
game no longer works
game no longer works. would love to see an update. this game was always fun to play.
Loading issues
It wouldn’t load for me kept bugging i even Tried reinstalling but didn’t work..
Anymore coming?
I’m down to the last level and have been for month because I’m barely earning any money at all. I stop by daily or so and every couple weeks I might be able to level one thing up once. That’s it. Are there any updates coming or is this all we have? I’d give it a better rating but it just boring now.
Djd
Jen’s Mans and
Not loading
I want to play it so bad I play in an iPad but every time I want to play it doesn’t load please fix
Hope you fix this
Good game until I got to the last area where instead of giving me 50x money i got 50x less😭
Lost all my monies
Logged in it froze then it disappeared. Not too thrilled.
Problem with the money.
Good game all in all. But now my money keeps resetting every time i enter the game and i don't know what to do.
Why
Good game looks very cool if i could play it because when i download it and click on the game it just shows me the loading screen im not lying it i waited 10min guess what nothing this game looks cool i just want to play it I don’t know if its because im on ipad or idk but pleas if you’re the dev reading this fix this pls 😭😭😭😭😭🤬
Broken on launch
This game no longer works for IOS 26.5, please update!
Really good but really easy
The game is super good but I got no ad I want a dev to fix
Good time waster but so many issues
The game is okay, good time waster. However the money is so disproportionate. Everything is so over priced for the money made. Also when you open the boxes it just says English and doesn’t actually give you anything so you waste the diamonds. If they can fix this then it would be one of the better idle games until the steer clear to be honest, it’s a lot of work for very little benefit
Ok, but some issues
It’s a typical idle game, nothing special. Some of the translations are broken and just say “English” instead of whatever the English text would be. It also doesn’t warn you when a button is going to play an ad, so you end up getting surprised by what is sometimes a pretty long ad (one was over a minute). The quests icon will also have an indicator on it as if something is done, but when you open the list none are done. I ended up uninstalling the game, mostly because of the surprise ads, but also because it seemed to be the same as many, many other idle games I’ve played.
The game is fun
I like your game please update it more Hopefully you will make a lot of money for updates.
Dumb
The only goal of this game is to get you to watch ads.
Was a great game until……
Latest update, can’t upgrade past 205 on any base, plz fix
Hot Phone
Fun game, but it really makes my iPhone run really hot. I can feel the heat through my phone case.
Some bugs
The game was fun initially but way too short and pricey. 5 levels is not enough. It needs balancing, what is the point to achieve 1000 levels in the research of it doesn’t have material. The progress goals doesn’t match the pace. Fixed the balanced and added more levels could lead to a 5 stars
Five stars only for own to see
Im getting stuck on the loading screen every time please fix this!
Huge bug
Every time I leave the game and come back all of my places are making less than they were when I left why
my opinion
This game is really fun it’s easy to play and no adds I really like it
Deleted
The game is broken! You have to watch ads to play or pay to remove but ads are broken so I have permanently deleted
Good game but…
Good game but it makes my phone overheat and KILLS my battery (2020 SE iOS 14.5.1 at time of review). Upgrades get a little expensive and it makes you grind like crazy which is getting pretty boring now. I’ve reached the airforce base with everything maxed out apart from truck load which is stupidddd expensive considering it takes a while to save money even with all my facilities over level 1500. Should make little Interactions available like tapping on aliens to capture them or even tapping on the flying UFOs to make them crash and it can give you some money or quasars. New levels with new themes would be cool too just to add a bit of diversity.
Love This Game
This is my favorite game. I wish there was a way to save user data so progress won’t be lost when switching to different devices.
Frustration
I downloaded it it made me use my Apple Pay and took $30 and when it downloaded it doesn’t even work
Miss playing this game
I like the game are used to play all the time but now when I open up it just shows me there will be a page and it doesn’t start the game apps I can’t play anymore I need help if that’s possible please
Kills the battery
I can cope with the ads, but this game drains the battery on my phone like crazy. It’s an older phone, but five minutes of playing this game will drain 20% of the battery - it’s bad enough that even when the phone is connected via USB, the battery is still being hit. I’ve never before seen an app that needs more power than the USB connection can provide.
Videos poor
This game would be great if when you click a video for boosts it actually loads a video instead of saying trouble requesting video and you lose your boost chance
Nico.
Best game ever
Ad free
Spent the money to go ad free. Worked for a bit. But now the game doesn’t even open. One of the idle games I actually enjoyed, and now it doesn’t work anymore. Lemme get my $10 back!
Workers disappear
Every time you watch a ad some workers disappear can you play fix this
Well :/
It looks realy good but loading not work oooooooooooooooooooolooooooomooooooooooooooooooooooioiiooooioooooioiooioioioooooooooooooooooo
Game won’t load
The game won’t load just stuck at loading screen
Fun
It is fun to play
Dead Game
It does not open on IOS anymore and hasn’t in a while. Doesn’t seem like there is going to be a fix. Sadly I will be deleting. It was a pretty fun game but the Dev doesn’t respond or fix in a timely manner so I won’t be playing anymore.
New update
The new update has cause some issues, when receiving an upgrade for a station the screen goes in dark mode and I am unable to click anywhere or do anything
Annoying
This game is so annoying, the amount of times I get the message we are requesting a video to get a bonus is ridiculous, problem loading videos it seems. There is an option to pay £9.99 to remove ads so you just get the bonus anyway but this is expensive and seems like a con to me, also the fact there is an option to get ten hours of money when you have been offline when it costs another £9.99 for this is just extortion to me. The game itself as in its content is fabulous and I really enjoy playing that part of it-when it works that is. Majorly flawed in my opinion and needs fixing.
Moon
Waited for countdown to the moon and then nothing happened?!?! Any advice?
5stars
I love this game
Doesn’t load up
I want to play it but can’t get past the loading screen :(
Promising
Good game idea that needs a bit of balancing. Playing free takes too long but buying ad free makes it much too easy and I’ve unlocked all the content after 2 days and there is nothing left to aim for. Sort of wish I hadn’t bought ad free now lol.
Very fun initially now utterly broken
Unfortunately upon exiting the event, my progress has been largely wiped. This, plus the ongoing failure of any offline earnings to be correctly calculated mean that progress is completely futile. Please fix
ANNOYING
I like the game but it takes like 5 minutes to unload pretty stupid
UFO scientist presents: best game ever to play and experience
I’m a scientist and this game is the best game ever created so I going let people know that who ever likes it download it
Can’t even play
Game won’t even open, doesn’t load nothing
Date and time
I changed my date and Time in settings and it completely broke the game. At first I got 15 trillion then I watched an ad but it put me into minus numbers and it says I have 1trillion now but I can’t buy anything and my work stations are now only producing millions. This is completely my fault but please fix it.
.
Another adwatching simulator with ufo-themed skins. Don’t bother. Tutorial lasts for 1 minute and they throw 3 ads right at your face and ask for $$$ to remove ads. What a joke.
Cute, but issues
I’ve loved the game so far - cute, funny, clever - but after unlocking the moon base, my home world resets when I return to it. That’s three times within the last 5 hours. Lost all lab upgrades as well so money flows so slowly on mid-range bases, and gem targets are now out of reach. Funding boost after watching ads doesn’t always stick, either. I also noticed an overheating issue I’ve never had before.
