I like the game BUT its virtually impossible to play unless you buy additional energy. You accrue 1 energy point per 1.5 mins but only up to 51 points. It’s very difficult to find ‘food’ to make energy with and to do anything in the game requires a lot of energy so 51 points lasts approx 2 actions and then you need to wait to accrue again. You can’t sell anything you make in the farm eg eggs or milk to buy energy or even buy food to make energy, you can’t use the food you farm to make energy. You also have to accrue gems in order to hire more workers but the game requires you to complete tasks which generate lots of buildings, all of which require workers. Again, you can’t acquire gems except by completing tasks which requires energy or by purchasing. As you can see, you can’t get very far with the game without paying for additional energy as you can’t make energy, you can’t sell anything, you require large amounts of energy to do any tasks and you need to complete tasks to get meagre amounts of energy as a reward. I’m at the stage where there’s almost no point in playing the game because I can only do one thing before I need to wait for another 1.5 hours to do the next thing and there are many many things you need to do in order to complete one simple task. Game has potential but needs to improve the ability to earn / create energy if it’s really playable … unless of course you want to spend hundreds of $ on buying energy (and no I’m not joking)
Thank you for your feedback! We always keep it not a pay-to-win game leaving our players a choice. The game is free, and you can play it and progress in it without buying coins or emeralds, though they are a good bonus and, obviously, the players who buy emeralds in the game make progress much faster, as it is true for all games. However, it doesn't mean that it is impossible to play without in-game purchases. For sure it is challenging to complete all locations and quests at the same time, but it is possible to find a strategy. The higher your level is, the harder the tasks are. You just have to play at your own pace and enjoy the process :)
