Very good but
Very good game and extremely addictive but please can you add an option to skip the tutorial in the special zone. It’s very frustrating very to sit through it all every time.
Eh
I play all the games this creator makes and this one is the worst of them all. Claims there are weekly events but the lock never comes off of that section. Sometimes all the prisoners become invisible, and the game becomes nearly impossible to level up in. I wish it could work because I love the concept, but they have neglected to fix any of it for a couple months now.
Event
Are there no events anymore
Ads
Love it!
Ads
Can’t even close the ads. Just stuck. Delete.
Addicting but has a lot of bugs
It’s an addictive game but the amount of bugs lets it down. If you watch videos for rewards, sometimes you don’t receive the reward. Also when you complete a level, it glitches and you lose your level rewards
最初は面白いとは思ったんだけど
後に増えていく広告と、バグって開かない構成広場…笑 3ステージ目位でやる気なくなった( 👁‿👁 )
Please read owners
Is a bug in the new event where u can’t update to lvl 100 the rooms. The game crash. Btw why all the time I need to see a ad when I change of place... Allways a ad for something.
개발자님
안녕하세요 개발자님. 실수로 게임 내 구매로 환불 요청합니다.. 다른걸 구매하는 바람에 ㅜㅜ 답변 부탁드립니다!
Great game until it breaks
I was really enjoying playing the game. I was a good number of lvls in, had done several events, and even spent a little money on it. Then the game started to crash. I couldn’t enter events or click certain things without it crashing. I looked through the options and found “Restore”. So I tried deleting the game and re downloading it, then used restore... it did nothing! No ads removed, none of my progress, event rewards, character cards, none of it. I am back to square one with nothing to show for my time or money and I have ads again!
This app crashes and you lose everything!
Why is there nowhere where I can get help? This app crashes all the time! I spent $50 on the add free version and it crashes when I upgrade 1 at a time and everytime I go to a new prison meaning I lose the coins to upgrade everything. Get it sorted.
Loved this game
But hasn’t been updated for 9 months and the events have stopped…think the developers have abandoned it?
Could be a decent game
But the number of ads you have to watch to get anything done is ridiculous. Also the balance seems off, you wait forever to get hotdogs and your cards, it gets a little frustrating.
Game
Good game
Icon image
Your icon image is literally a character in an electric chair... disgusting
New levels
When are new levels coming out? Waiting for them I’ve restarted the game 2 times to play and all the money put into it. Need new levels please
If you try and pay for the stuff it takes your money and no reward
I really enjoy the game but this is its massive let down.
Fun game but the ads…
I’ve been playing this game daily for a couple weeks now. These are my favorite games! The game play is great. Events are difficult and I love the grind… BUT $30 to remove ads and get some bonuses? I’d be willing to pay that but development hasn’t updated the game in a month, the amount of ads is insane. And you have to watch them to progress. I do like that they warn you when you are gonna have to watch an ad so you can go ahead and just claim the bonus instead of just clicking okay and an ad pops anyways. If you want me to spend $30 I need more. 🤷🏻♀️
버그 수정요청
어제 저녁부터 게임들어가면 수익 받는 버튼누르면 게임이 꺼지는 현상이 발생되면서 실행이 안되네요 빠른 수정 부탁드립니다
Rip off
Don’t spend because I have got a new phone and tried to restore my purchases.... it doesn’t work so all money and progress lost I will be refunding my purchases
Questions with no answers
Fun game, but the last update, where did the share button for 50 gems go? What does the professional cleaner do? The app developers site is in a different language…soooo???
Frustrating
Both of my complaints are about the events. 1. Please for the love of god, after seeing the first “walkthrough” leading into an event for a new player, make it where we do not have to go through it every single time an event starts. Or at least make it an option in settings to skip in walkthrough. And when I boot up the game, do not force me to go into the event. I can’t even double my income from the main game. I’m just immediately forced into the event to start it 2. The gap for missions and new rooms just gets too wide to care about continuing the events. Missions get so tough to complete and can’t complete them to get donuts or cards to upgrade the rooms to automate to make more money. The roulette wheel runs out of the equation when you spin so many times even the auto doesn’t make a difference because you don’t make enough coin. Then you fall back to the issue of being too difficult to get donuts and cards to upgrade to make crap useful. So then you are just stuck because you can’t play for hours and hours manually tapping rooms, pickup, or roulette. It is quite frustrating.
It could be better
It has a lot of potential. However, the amount of ads is ridiculous. We already watch enough just playing the game but then they force ads when switching to events or at other points. I’ve played a lot of idle games and watch a ton of ads. There is no reason to add in the extras with how much it already takes. It’s become more about watching ads than playing. It’s too bad because it is fun but it wears on you quite a bit.
게임이 자꾸 튕겨요..
몇시간만에 들어가서 모아둔 재화 받으려고 클릭하면 자꾸 게임이 꺼집니다.. 어떡해야하나요..?
Too many ads
If they had a $5 option to remove ads, I’ll happily pay. But $30, no thank you. This game relies heavily on ads that I’m practically spending half of the time looking at ads. And then the ads length are ridiculous. You spend 30 seconds watching one thing, and then at the end they add on 15 more seconds. Great game. Terrible ad regenerating revenue.
이벤트 페이지에서 계속 튕겨져 나오네요.
메인에서 이벤트 창으로 넘어갈려고 하면 계속 튕겨져서 나오네요. 벌써 이틀째 이러고 있습니다. 결제한게 있는대 쓰지를 못하네요. 이벤 끝날때까지 계속 이러면 결제한 금액들 환불해주나요??
今までは普通に出来てたのに。。。。。
通常のモードは出来るのにイベに切り替えると落ちてしまうようになってしまいました🥺課金もしてるのにやめてほしいです。。。。。
New ad banner
I completely understand the need for ads but the banner at the bottom over the x2 buttons etc is really not ideal? I can’t even click on any of them without being taken to the App Store bc the ad is in the way?
AMAZING
if y are bored and want a game to pass the time, then this is it!
Took my money and now won’t open.
I played this game for 2-3 days, watched a lot of ads as I decided if I wanted to drop the $30.00 USD to go ads free. Finally, I did. I was able to play for about two hours, took a break and when I came back I can’t get past the welcome claim screen. I would have emailed support, but I can’t get to that because it closes so quickly. Sigh. Guess I will go through Apple Support to get my money back. Decent enough game, otherwise I wouldn’t have spent that crazy amount of money.
Is bug 🪰
I really like this game it’s really fun but when I was pretty far into the game every time I opened the game it would kick me out so I had to delete it. Will you please fix that, but like I said really fun game!
Fix the crashing
Good game to pass the time, been playing it for a week and now all of a sudden it crashes anytime I open the app. Tried hard restarting my phone and many other things, dodgy app
Ads
I love the game but I’m not about to spend 30 dollars to remove ads. Definitely not worth it. Be way cool if there was a $5 option to remove ads..
굿
굿
Ads for being away never works
The x2 ad for when you’re away never works, it’s ridiculous! The game seems to be pushing for either watching lots of ads or spending cash, now I know it’s common in this type of games but there’s no balance here, when u can’t even get your x2 income from being away!
재미있었어요! 근데....
팅기는데 그뒤로 안되요.....하고싶....그래서 별하나 없앴어요! 빠른 개선부탁드립니다!
Slow progress.....
Too slow with the action..... fix that & I’ll give it a 5⭐️
타이쿤류 중에 정말 재밌는게임 찾은거 같아요!
소재도 너무 독특하고 아트도 개성있고 연출도 좋은거 같아 몰입이 잘됩니다!! 별 생각없이 시작했다가 하루종일하고 있네요 ㅋㅋ
Robbing people
I paid for 2 things. Took my money but I never got the rewards!!!
Was super fun
Was fun the first day I got it now can’t start it with out the game instantly crashing...
Good game!!
I love it !! Recommend. The best tycoon game!!
Stole my money
I love playing idle games and every now and then will buy one of the limited time bundles if it’s a reasonable price. This app however took my money and after ITunes marked my purchase as successful the app told me that it failed. I tried to restore purchases repeatedly and even tried buying the bundle again but every time the app says my purchase has failed but it seems to have no issue taking the money out of my account. I now have two purchases that have been charged to my account but the game won’t give me what I paid for.
It’s Okay
Like most modern idle games, you need to collect manager cards and need to make sure they are at a certain level in order to automate your sections when advancing to the next jail house. Which means, you’ll inevitably end up in a standstill at one point until you gather enough material to level up your managers. This pretty much contradicts the “idle” portion of the game and is honestly annoying, especially when the manager needed to be leveled is at the very beginning of the chain. I also didn’t like the wait times for each station. As much as I leveled them up, they didn’t seem to increase the speed. If it did, it wasn’t noticeable at all. I did like the art style, but that wasn’t much for me to keep the game for longer than the hour. As a result, I gave 3 stars. I wish the developers the best, however. Edit: The development team was kind enough to shoot a reply so I’ll say, it wasn’t my intention to down the game. It is fun if you like the grind but, if you don’t like to put much effort or have the time to put into an “idle” game, then this wouldn’t be for you. There is a lot to like about the game though. Funny animations, enjoyable skins, and simple and clear gameplay. Like I said though, there are some unenjoyable moments where you will HAVE to put some effort. Again, I wish the best but this wasn’t the game for me. Give it a shot though, you might enjoy it.
