One of the best and most engaging I’ve ever played on mobile.
I honestly kinda liked the gameplay loop.
I love pixel art style games and this is one of them
Pain Points
It’s been almost a YEAR since the last town was put in the game.
No more content, game is dead.
I paid for the no-ads upgrade... now I feel like I've been tricked.
They took the money and ran.
