HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (132 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. 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.

Disappointed

Money grab before you can even get in the game fr. I decided not to reopen the lab because everything you had to buy cost so much. They said because of that I went bankrupt and the game is over lol

Trash

★★★★★Sep 7, 2026
Mierda

El hecho de tener que esperar para las escenas se me hace tan basura , es un juego de baja calidad para que pidan tanto dinero por solo saltarse animaciones , completamente una basura de juego por culpa de los anuncios , pagar y tener que esperar

★★★★★Jun 23, 2026
Will try to force you to buy subscription

Absolute trash!

★★★★★Jun 16, 2026
Not a free game. Rubbish

You get given 5 minutes of playtime, then it wants a subscription. And it gives you a false sense of hope by saying “new events on their way in 44mins”. You get the notification that new events are on the way…the timer restarts and it still wants a subscription. Needs advertising that it isn’t free.

★★★★★Jun 13, 2026
fake

This game is stupid and only leads to you spending money from the very beginning. Avoid at all costs. This is coming from someone who does not mind spending on games when it is worth the play.
