Pay to win
I love this game, very nice card and text based concept. However, it is simply far too “pay to win” to be enjoyable after a point.

Ads.
I love this game and have been playing for a few years however, ever since the last update I can no longer open the game without turning off both my Wi-Fi and mobile data and I still somehow get ads! It’s kind of destroyed the game for me but if it can be fixed I’ll be happy to play.
I understand as a form of revenue you need to include ads and I respect that much but what I can’t stand is when the exit button on the ads is virtually impossible to click and it keeps taking me to the App Store, so incredibly infuriating.
Can you make it so there is less waiting
can’t lie, this is a very pog game.
When you get to round 11, things go from 0 to 100 real freaking quick. Try tuning down the level scale a bit
I really enjoy this game but there are so many forced ads on me, I literally had it give me 4 forced ads when I only was foraging for 3 seconds each! That’s over a minute of ads for about 12 seconds of actual game time. Next to the ads for speed ups, increased productivity and double rewards we REALLY don’t need constant forced ads
Every time I make a few actions maybe 4 or 5 I am always forced an ad, and this is on top of the ones you actively choose to speed things along or to get extra gems. Basically bombarded with ads which I don’t mind if I choose to click on them but the ones that appear after a certain amount of actions is too much!
For me, the game crashes all the time. I’ll be playing the flower game and it’ll crash randomly and I’ll have to start the level again. Also, while building things (example: campfire, workbench, etc) it will say “build now —> cost 0 gems” so I click it and it takes gems from me even though it was free. Another super annoying thing, there is an ad after EVERY SINGLE TIME you send people out to explore, or onto a task. Game needs fixing, I’ve talked to friends that play this game and they have many issues with gems being taken away unfairly. Sometimes I’ll leave the game and come back and gems are missing for no reason. And it’s very easy to use gems by accident (example: getting extra turns on the flower game and it doesn’t ask you twice if you wanna spend 250 gems)
