What real reviews say

★ Do not buy - does not work The game crashes immediately after launch no matter what. They either need to update this app or take it down, they must only keep it up to scam the few people that try to buy and play it. Unfortunate as this game and many of their other games were favorites of mine as a kid. Don’t waste your dollar

★★★★ Hidden gem Its a good game fun and entertaining, i found it off a Pinterest post and thought i should get it. The only thing o dont like about it is the other games 2 is ok but three is just ai slop, other than that all u mostly do is breed and sell but somehow its fun. If ur looking for a good relaxing grinab

★ Do not download: immediate game crashes I bought the game, and it immediately crashed as soon as I opened it, multiple times. I restarted my phone, offloaded and redownloaded the app, uninstalled and reinstalled, and it still doesn’t work. I will be looking to get a refund. I’m very disappointed
