idle lumber empire

The game has lots of ad which isn't to bad but it does take a while to get through levels. Even after purchasing the ad free version you still have to spend a ton of money to keep advancing through the games. Getting the character cards for each level gets harder each stages. I wouldn't play the game unless you wanna invest some money into it.

Game is repetitive to the point of painful. To get through a level it's watching tons of ads after ads. 8 'factories' in and absolutely nothing is different than the first level. Each 'upgrade' is just the same thing again and again. You just start over and do it again, only each level takes longer to do the same things. I'm sure if you wanted to waste money you might get real changes, but doubtful. Was hoping to have a nice time waster, but this got boring after the first 20 min.

It was cool while it lasted until you are forced to basically pay to play...you cant level up managers or move forward with the game because you have to sit through a million ads to get to the next level. Playing the game and making "money" is pretty much useless because you can't use it to buy the tools and what not to advance once again forced to watch ads every two seconds or pay.

The game is not too bad, but doesn't have much variety from 1 level to the next. Plus, it looks completely different to the ad for this game when I first saw it. It was meant to be a bridge building game in the ad, but turns out to be a lumber factory based game.Nonetheless, it was entertaining enough to start playing it, just not interesting enough to continue. The ads are just relentless if you don't want to pay for ad free. It's ridiculous! It's a real shame due to how many ads there are!

I was enjoying this game for a bit but have to give it one star for wasted time and money invested. There is a glitch for when your phone completely dies, the first thing the game does is force the tutorial on you and all your progress for the season pass is gone. When you reconnect with your Google account, it reverts to when you very first connect to it, not saving any of your data. All managers and progress I accumulated are gone. This is the 2nd time this has happened to me. A total waste

I've been playing this game for over two weeks. The ad shows players solving puzzles, building bridges, etc. However, all this game seems to be is an advertising engine. If you want to do basically anything, you are forced to watch advertisement after advertisement. I really wanted to enjoy this game, but it seems it's just another bait and switch. I'm really disappointed because the promotional videos show the game premise having a lot of potential...and almost all of it goes unrealized.

Very addictive, but level-ups are horribly designed. First of all, the game starts out pretty slow, but as you play and upgrade components, the empire begins to grow. Once you've upgraded all the components to their max levels, it asks prompts you to modernize your operation, but it resets your progress to zero at every advanced level. This is not practice because you spend hours getting to where you are, only to have to do it again...and again... But each level does let you build up faster. Meh

Loved it starting out. The 3 click ads are a bit annoying but not the end of the world. I also don't mind that when you build a new factory that you start over because you retain your leveled up managers and diamonds etc so re growing the new factory happens quickly. However now that I'm a ways into the game I am getting 90 second ads, the same 90 second ads. I have no interest in waiting 90 seconds to get the reward and definitely not the same 90 second. You lost me as a player.

so very very slow. The ftue leaves you doing nothing.... your truck driver goes to sleep constantly. You are left to hunt around to see what you can upgrade. The logs take forever to get there. The demos show managing a running factory, now that might be the case eventually. But to start it is hard to get into it, if there is nothing to do but wait for money to upgrade. And then not know what/which needs to be upgraded to make it go faster. There are too many upgrade locations to start

The video ad for this game is a complete lie. The game is nothing like it. If the developer is so deceptive on the ad, how deceptive do you think the game will be. The game is boring and nothing but repetitive. Every mill upgrade reduces your progress. After a few mill upgrades, money doesn't matter but ads are the only way to progress. Ad system just hangs on certain ads. This is not an idle game. The game timer does not progress while watching ads or even when in an event.

In order to get ahead you MUST watch ads. This is fine for the most part but now I've reached a high level it no longer lets you watch ads to get ahead. Just a blank screen meaning that you either go slow or decide to pay. I thought it was a glitch at first but seems like you get to A high level then you can advance by watching ads. I was willing to watch but not willing to pay. Prices are outrageous.

I was quite enjoying this game until I stopped getting the ad options. Your FAQs says if you watch too many ads, no more ads for you temporarily. Why are you penalizing your players for playing the game as you designed it? I get wanting to make money for your hard work, but not everyone can afford to pay $25 for the no ad experience. It's physically impossible to upgrade managers with no ads because every crate requires you to watch an ad to open it and the rewards suck at higher level sawmills

Gameplay is watching commercials to try to do anything, but only after another commercial. The gameplay is so purposely agonizingly slow that you are forced to watch commercials in an attempt to reward you with partial resources, but then have to watch more commercials to use them to build parts, to then watch more commercials to piece the parts together. And gameplay is not even close to the commercials that are out there for this game, very misleading.

Game depends heavily on Ads. Which isn't completely horrible since most are 15 seconds. Played this for almost a week and all characters stopped doing their jobs, meaning I'm at a standstill. Orders can not be completed, no one is running any machine and managers that are supposed to streamline work flow do nothing. I've reset my phone, exited the game and everything but no one is moving. Will Uninstall because there is nothing else to do.

Okay I'll admit I love the lumber aspect of this but I hate the building the houses and the village part so I'm uninstalling. I mean it's a cool and different concept but I feel like it takes forever to progress without watching a bajillionty ads and I am just going to go back to playing old PC games because no ads, and no ridiculous prices or monetary amounts. Cool game in some ways just not what I looking for in a game.

Rating based on your intrusive ads on other apps. They are too long and repetitive and make you watch the same screen for longer than most ads. You guys need to fix them because I hate this game without even having tried it. Update: if your ads are that repetitive, and ads embellish, nothing. Absolutely nothing. Scrap your current ads. They are surely damaging your product.

Yesterday, the game hung during an ad. I haven't been able to launch it since. As in a completely black screen for a few seconds, then kicks back out. When I look at the apps running in the background, this app just has a white window below it's little logo. Killing it doesn't work. Restarting phone doesn't work. This isn't the first time this happened. I just took several months off from the game and just gave it a try again. Not sure what's going on.

I like the game, but there are way too many ads. You click on 1 thing, get an advert, as soon as you finish, click on the next thing, get an advert. THERE IS AN ADVERT EVERY MINUTE It would be ok if you had a range of 50 adverts, but when you are looking at the same 3 adverts over and over and over, it drives you crazy. I would play longer but I have to stop because of repetitive ads. Yes you can pay for no more ads, US$27.99, but that's AUD$42.00, wayyy too expensive just to not watch ads.

I just started playing this week. it's a pretty addictive game. I ended up purchasing to remove the ads because they were pretty long. it's not necessarily "pay to play" but it takes a long time to progress unless you spend the diamonds. I did lose all of my progress after an event update but I'm working with "Ricky Martin" to at least get some of my stuff back so I can get back to where I was in the game.

Good but could be better! I've been playing for a little over a year and once you get far enough into it and if you opt for ad free it gets a lot better but to be honest since they started a competition in events it's becoming a lot more fun infact the regular game is getting a bit boring. What would fix that is actually changing the factory with each upgrade instead of being the same with higher payouts. Every level looks the same except for holidays. Just a thought. ????????

I wouldn't waste your time. I've played this game like 2 days. For the 4th time now, after watching an Ad to double my profits while I was away, the game crashes when returning from the app store that the Ad forcibly opens, and I get none of the money, 0, nadda. Also the canting machine is ridiculously slow compared to everything else in the line, leaving the whole operation waiting on it. Almost like they want you to pay real money or suffer through it. I'll be uninstalling now.

I played this a while ago, stopped, downloaded it again, but now I understand why I stopped before. The ads are a known evil, but the level requirements require you to purchase loot boxes, with no guarantee that you will get the upgrades to pass the level. That is pure greed. It is also not a true idle game. Orders and builds are not worked on while logged off. Wow, what an auto response reply. Has NOTHING to do with my review. We now all know they don't actually read these reviews. shocker

I was enjoying the game but it randomly decided that loading was for it, and while failing to load it'd crash my device forcing it to restart. I've uninstalled/reinstalled 5times now, each having no sign of it getting better. i don't even get an option to send crash data to the developer because my fevice crashes first. Unfortunately won't be playing anymore. To Dev: Not the case, even after restarting my phone, closing everything and this game being the only thing open, above occurs using WiFi.

Okay game. Not what the ad showed but overall a fun idle past time. Internet is required. Ads are optional and non intrusive, which is great, but you will have to play the ads (or purchase bonus packs) if you want to advance in the game. I'm knocking one star off because it gets very repetitive. Every time I upgrade my factory, I get the same factory. Every time there's a special event, it's the same factory and gameplay just with a different theme. I'm not sure if I'll keep this game.

I couldn't play the game, it told me an update is available and redirected me onto the playstore but there was no update Edit: they fixed it rapidly ( that's why I leave the 2nd star), but the game sucks, only 1 hour of gameplay if you don't watch videos or pay real money, then you're stuck in the game. I downloaded this game after seeing an ad for it, but turns out the game isn't like the ads at all.

I bought this game well over a year ago and have spent hundreds of dollars on it since. The play speed slows considerably as you advance... to the point that I no longer play daily. I can't imagine trying to play this with adds. If you enjoy the game, buy in to free up tons of add time. Basic gameplay strategy doesn't change and the length of time in a 'mill' can be months long. The only changes to keep you engaged are weekly 'events' that help mimic advancement. These also have different themes

I enjoy playing this game, even though it's complete different from the ads they showed. However, it's really a pay to win game, in event contest and to buy managers. Hardly any free way to obtain managers except for watching ads. You need to watch a lot of ads to go further level but that is impossible to catch up with the rich players. They should have included more mission to earn managers and or blueprints.

Simply an ad revenue generator. It's possible to play without paying any real money, but you will never make any real progress. Challenges are near impossible to progress in and end at 5 am CT for some reason. The only way to make money in the game is to watch hundreds of ads. Gameplay is just clicking to upgrade machines. Claims to be an idle game, but the inventory does not increase and orders don't get filled. Only makes money for two hours. Watching an ad will double it though ?

I'm beyond disappointed. I have played this game for years and made multiple in-app purchases. my progress was so good and all of a sudden I'm back to day one. everything is gone with no way of getting it back to where I was. I doubt this will be fixed so I will say this to new players DON'T MAKE ANY PURCHASES IN THIS GAME. I certainly won't be spending anymore money unless I get my stuff back. the customer service person I dealt with first was rude and unapologetic. I'm so angry and annoyed.

I really like this game and it passes the time really nicely. I want to love it. but I'm at a stage now where you get ads every time you press something. for that reason I'll be stoping playing. they aren't long ads but it takes the pi**. if you want to go ad free it's £17.... why so expensive? you have a log pass, a shop where you can spend money and more pay wall stuff. stop robbing us just to have fun.
