A few ideas for future updates

I love this game, its fun and enjoyable with a variety of different characters to collect and play as. Events are fun to even if they are not many. For future updates, I would like to see more playable characters added to the game and upgraded tiers so there is a common, rate, epic, legendary and even mythical rarity for character cards. Also, i would like to see more locations to build police stations at since once you develop them all you have nothing left to do. Maybe add more events too with better rewards in the near future and give the option to rename your police stations for a more custom feel. Other than that, i really enjoy the game.

Two star

More levels I’ve completed all levels and can’t do anything but the same prison games. Need more levels on the police building side and also different prison ones. I have to do the same three prisons quest all the time. I will give a five star once it all changes. It’s horrible you completely finish five or six levels and the game is done. Pleas add more levels and also new prison ones

Bugs bugs bugs

This update has a TON of bugs. From npc’s clipping into walls and getting stuck, slowing down progression…to completion of a department and not being able to move to the next one, to 4 actual days elapsing before the system recognizes you’ve been playing that entire time…then granting you the login rewards after 4 days…very very VERY flawed.

Good game but needs an update.

Really good game but I have reached the last station and doing the long grind for the final snowmobiles and then won’t have anything to do. Would love a new update with a new station and then it would be an easy 5*. Event is nice to keep you engages, but I agree with the other review that it needs an extra component or challenge to it. They can both be completed in less than a day. Would rather you worked on a new station than the pets. But thanks for the recent update :)

Super Buggy

I’m really trying to like this game, but the bugs are making it impossible to play. My progress isn’t saving, I didn’t get my rewards from the event, and the ‘catch the criminal’ keeps forcing me to downgrade to lower level equipment. I unlocked the crime lab, only to later open the game with no crime lab or accumulated money. Its really frustrating and I’m close to just uninstalling it if these bugs aren’t fixed soon.

Having to upgrade 5 characters before upgrading to the next level is ridiculous. This is weeks of playing. If this is a req to move to the next prison the drops for character upgrading needs to be fixed

Great game but stuck

Currently on Raccoon City map, however I have zero tasks which I find quite odd as each time I’ve gone to a new location, I’ve had missions right away. Can’t go back to the previous map either to make sure I didn’t miss anything before progressing to the next map after unlocking the Police Wharf.

This game is great and I have been waiting playing it for a while but it’s nearly impossible for me to enjoy the game when I’m 7 ranks behind and I can’t switch prisons This is because of some xp updates and prison releases so I just get stuck and it kinda makes the game unplayable please fix this

Unable to gain rewards from special event

I have noticed recently in the special events that when I step away from the game, and come back, a short time later, that buildings will have been built/upgraded on their own, which you wouldn’t think would be a problem, but it prevents me from getting the rewards for the upgrades. A few minutes ago, a new special event started, and when I went to build something new, the game froze, and when I relaunched it and went back into the special event, all buildings were built and maxed out, and I’m not getting the rewards for building those things. This event is a complete waste of time if I’m being cheated out of getting any rewards due to a glitch in the system.

— Dapeej

★★★☆☆ United States · v1.0.18 · 26 Apr 2024

It’s ok

This game is glitchy. You hit the discord button or the write us button and it kicks you out of the game. I’m confused on some aspects of the game mainly the events. It gives you tasks but when you click on them it doesn’t show you what to do or how to do them. I have just stopped playing the events. The game in regular mode is fine. I just watch ads and upgrade stuff cuz there is no way unless you wait forever to upgrade stuff with the money you earn. If you wants something to pass the time for a few days this is a good way to do it. I am going to give it another couple of days if it’s more of the same I will delete and find something else.

Ticked

I have spent a bit of money let alone countless hours on this game. I had reached level 72 and was in the process of moving to the next city…. The game froze for more than 15 minutes. I closed it, opened and low and behold I’m starting the game ALL OVER AGAIN WITH NOTHING! I had many pets that were over 2k each… I’m beyond frustrated. I’ve written their support and absolutely NO RESPONSE. Not even a reply stating they received my inquiry. Don’t waste your time on this game.

Xp rate way too slow

Solid game as far as tycoon games go. Nothing terribly original. My biggest problem is that xp is required to level up in order to build new rooms. Xp is only gained while online and it’s really slow. I have to gain 9 levels to build the room required for my quests and it looks like I’d have to leave the app open and running for a week to get there. After that there is another room that will require another 20 levels. It’s game breaking. If this gets fixed it’d be a very solid game.

There’s a bug in the London prison event. I started the event and upgraded a couple of things. But when I closed the game I came back maybe 2-4 hours later, and the prison was fully upgraded. So I basically just have to let the game play and I’ll get all the rewards.

Игра норм, но есть баги

В целом приятная игрушка в стиле айдл, не напряжная, реклама в разумных пределах, но есть несколько багов, которые немного огорчают. Например, при прокачке улучшений участка или персонала таймер доходит до нуля, но кнопка «завершить» не появляется, в итоге улучшения не работают. Единственный способ получить улучшение в такой ситуации - это успеть потратить кристаллы. Также баг в следственной комнате, второй стол офицера прокачан до 10 уровня, но достижение не засчитывается и висит сверху. Надеюсь, эти баги будут исправлены как можно скорее.

Good game but it’s a Shame about bugs and video

Not a bad game but there is so many bugs with it, it’s frustrating. I have a task that says upgrade to level 10 - but the max is 5! I can’t unlock anymore tasks due to this being stuck ☹️ shame as the game is fun. You have to watch a few ads for daily pass tasks and they’re are 60 seconds long! If they sorted the glitches and ads out would be so much better.

I wanted to like this game but there are bugs and poor communication. The game has stalled because of a bug that says I need to complete an upgrade for a room.

Fun game but has bugs

I like the game but it has bugs. For example, the research improvements, I started the first one for the kitchen and the 10 minutes has well passed but it’s stalled out. I can’t start it again and it won’t complete. I tried using diamonds to “skip” the time and watching an add to achieve the same result but since the timer bar is blank, nothing happens. Yeaterday I was making $4k/30s and now it’s only giving me $1.66k/30sec. The dogs are also having issues. I need to level up their experience in order to continue doing the harder missions, which give experience points, but I can only do the easy mission which gives no experience points. My dogs are maxed out on health/food and happiness for their level but I’m stuck. Developers, please address the bugs.
