Idle Tycoon: Space Company

I spend money on mobile games fairly liberally, but this won't be one of them. There is a mechanic that requires you to watch an ad every 5 minutes or your progress drops to 20%. I'm not doing that. Give me a $10 option to skip ALL ads in a game and I'll buy it. But force me to watch an ad every few minutes and I'm just not going to do it.

To bad that you can't upgrade equipment that has been assigned and to remove it you can only destroy it or replace it. And if you don't want to destroy it you need to pay cristals. Also you can't upgrade it while it is assigned. Big let down.

I love the game! But why is it a 3 star? 2 HUGE PROBLEMS!! 1st: The income displayed on the top of the screen changes based on what screen you're looking at. 2nd: You can't unequip equipment, so if you get a better person for a job and change the old one with the equipment, that person will just sit in your inventory forever, and the eqyipment is basically lost. If you guys fix these issues, I will definitely rate it a 5 star!

Love it so much. A rare find. Where the ads are actually worth watching everytime. Love the game play. Love the graphics. Love it in every way. 5 stars plus 2!

A lot of fun. I like that ads are not all the time but to gain bonuses and stuff. Makes less interruptions.

Too many ads to watch to progres in resonable pace, claiming daily login reward force you to watch ad, UI could be much better, poor performance at later game which is strange while computing (idle part) is so minor compared to other idle games. Very slow progress and rewards. After 2 weeks testing this idle game and other of same developer I can claim it's only purpose is to force you watch ads.

A good idle game. Doesn't force adverts on you. Just wish there was an option for no ads entirely

Kind of a boring game, stuck with it for 5 minutes and couldn't take it anymore, not a lot to do except hurry up and wait, no action or really any management at all, I had to uninstall it, it just didn't hold my interest.

3 different screens doing the exact same thing (earn money or earn research points). Watching the rocket fly is pretty nice... for the first 5 minutes, and that's it. There are no ads during gameplay, which is good, but they are there for almost everything else that you want (fast forward "upgrades", collect double earnings, even collecting daily rewards). I'd rather not watch the ads so I just close the game and come back a day later to collect and upgrade. Over time, I forgot about this game.

This has potential to be great. But playing for just 30 minutes, there were so many deal-breaking bugs. They make you watch videos to level up your rocket. But you have to level up ALL THREE STAGES by watching videos. So I watched 3 advertisements and then 30 seconds later it said there was an error and my game was being rolled back 6 minutes. Eff that. I will play again when you unf_ck it. Thanks.

This was going well for an idle game. The graphical progress on the rocket is interesting, though it would have been nice to see some changes on the space station and drill as well. The latest version appears buggy as I now can't progress. When I complete a project the window pops up to collect the reward but the Select button for the next level never appears. This has affected all 6 projects across the three areas. If this bug isn't sorted then I will probably uninstall before the event starts

It is annoying that the progress gets reset over and over. All three of the revenue streams are the same thing, you have three different stats you have to balance and spend resources to increase and the little dot goes higher and higher. Its really annoying to wait for it to go higher and there is nothing to actually do while you wait unlike other idle games where you can click or do a minigame to speed things up. There is only ads you can watch in this one. 30 second ads.

EDIT: Came back again. The game is so laggy. 5+ seconds of lag just to click on a character to check their stats. Changing screens, anything in this game is embarrassingly poorly optimised. I came back to give it another shot but it's worse than I remembered. How does someone create and release something this bad? Adtastic. The game is mostly just an ad-watcher. I feel cheated out of my time more than anything.

Thr game is fine overall, and I understand the need for ads, but needing to watch several ads in a row when you prestige to keep up with the rate one is upgrading? It really takes me out of the game. Maybe the game could give a few "skip ads" as a award for doing the prestige? It is not usually bad when you progress is slow, but when you prestige you can easily end up watching 6 ads in a row to keep up with growth. I know that technically you could wait 2 hours per level, but that's not fun.

Great game to play, heavily focused on micro transactions after a few levels unless you manage to upgrade things tactically, Don't think it's a pay to win though because it gives plenty of opportunity to earn through videos and like I said, tactical upgrading. Excellent little game to waste a few minutes here and there, nothing that will keep you hooked for hours though.

Holy heck adds adds adds. It's a good game other than the add barriers. So there's 3-4(events make it a 4th) sections in the game where you'll need to watch an add to progress or wait 2 hours. To level up each of the sections is relatively easy, but once you do, prepare to wait 2 hours to level it up again or watch 3 adds/each. If you wormhole, leveling up gets even easier. You can hit level 17+ rather quickly after 2 wormholes. 17x3x3 = 154 adds you have to watch. Can I just give you a few $?

Interesting idea for an idle money game. That being said it is very ad based for advancement without paying. Normally that's okay in my book except the number of available ad based boosts are very limited. I'm only on day 2 of playing and already have no way of advancing, other than paying or not playing for hours on end to let my money build up. I wouldn't mind paying in a few bucks except I will not do it over and over again just to keep playing.

Sometimes watching an ad means the sound for the game will break and I have to close and restart. I do like the design and the space theme, but i think you do a really poor job of explaining what each thing we upgrade means. For navigation you should animations of maybe dodging debris etc. It just feels like a lazy game made for ads as of now.

I know it actually doesn't deserve 1 star but it's a huge issue and I just thought to get the dev's attention. The problem is in a combination of issues. 1. It's one of the very few games which needs you to watch an ad to get the daily login reward. 2. On my phone it says that there are no ads available since this morning. 3. If there are no ads available it refuses to give you the reward for free. Again, unlike many other games. Please, fix AT LEAST ONE of them. Any one. People will be missing daily login rewards because of these three issues, two of which are BY DESIGN. :facepalm:

there is a 2 hour wait between sets of upgrades. this makes the game unbearable. for the first play through it was fine because it took time to save up currency but on my first reset the wait means a complete halt to the game. so basically it's a good game for about two days then it's an unbelievably slow game. top 5 worst idle games.

It's interesting and restrained when it comes to ads compared to other mobile games, and it allow you to slot crew members for a bit of strategy. One star dinged for an artifical timer, but if you're playing set it and forget it like you should for this, it doesn't hamper things too much. *EDIT* Between the the artificial timer, not being to buy away ads, and that you can't switch gear without paying premium currency to save it, I dropped it two more stars and uninstalled it.

Pretty fun. 24 hours since I downloaded it and the time played vs in game progress seems pretty fair. As far as I can tell, there are no forced ads. Not to sound like a salesman, but to me the game is much better if you use the 30 second ad option instead of waiting 2 hours. If you hate ads that get pushed on you mid game, don't worry about it with this game.

Was really fun. Amazingly simple. And while the stats don't actually make sense. The game was relaxing to a point. Just leaving cause no mater what you do for events, they always end the same way. You only get the rewards you pay for. And the last two events I didn't even get the rewards I earned. So basically a waste of time. So this one is deleted.

Not a bad game. However, I am getting frustrated that every time I bring my device online, it constantly glitches and jumps forwards a year. Then it recognizes the problem and jumps back. This keeps happening. Please fix this and I will give a higher rating.

Feels abnormally slow even for an idler. Due to the 2 hour wait to evolve one category. Just to progress. My suggestion would be to gradually increment the amount of time required based on the level. For example the first 2 or 3 evolutions somewhere between 10 - 15 minutes and the next 2 evolutions taking about 20 minutes and then 25 & so on. Because 2 entire hours. That is quite a while. I've been playing for about one hour and have evolved everything twice. Granted the first 6 - 9 took 5 secs.

The graphics are nice, but the actual gameplay is lacking. There's three sections to manage, which each have three items to upgrade, all of which differ in name and look only, making it feel very tedious. When you upgrade enough, you either have to stop playing for two hours or watch a bunch of ads.
