HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (2.8 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.

Rocks appear back after demolishing

So while playing the game I’ve noticed I will demolish rocks just for them to appear back days later. Is this a glitch in the game or intentional? Other than that I have no issues.

★★★★★Mar 4, 2025
Don’t bother

App crashes very frequently.

Want to give 5 stars

My train station disappeared. After numerous attempts to reach customer service they said I needed to this and that and basically wanted me to pay for another station and compensate me with the station, tbe upgrades and the money it had made. Obviously it’s fake money but it’s the time put into the game and then to have it taken away and be to start all over. I continued contacting customer service and they said they were forwarding to their escalation team. Well that was weeks ago it feels like and nothing has been done. I was doing everything right had my station where it was supposed to be and got out of app when done playing. I really enjoyed this game as it was relaxing. Time to find something similar this game as it doesn’t look like they are going to fix this issue.

★★★★★Mar 19, 2024
Please fix

Great game would be 5stars but when I watch a ad for a reward it doesn’t give anything
