HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (110 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

Great game! I love that you have the option to make gold by watching commercials. I also like that there’s no pop up commercials every few minutes like with other games. This is a slow but very fun game. The reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because I think the choice of buildings is too limited. Leveling up just gives you the ability to choose mostly the same buildings just with higher levels over and over. It would be much more interesting if you had more choices for different buildings as you go higher so you can create a more diverse and realistic city.
