No tutorial???
So now the game works, but there are NO INSTRUCTIONS. I looked at a YouTube video, and even they couldn’t figure it out! If your game is NOT READY, do not launch it!
App won’t open
Update. Still does not work even after the second update. I would contact them directly but I cannot find out how
I’m extremely disappointed
I have emailed to report the problem many times. It has been a full week since I bought this game, and I have never been able to launch and play it successfully. Every time I get a reply from the developer saying the issue has been fixed, yet I still cannot open the game normally up to now
Game will not launch
Bought the game and installed it and haven’t been able to launch it yet. Goes straight to a grey screen and then closes. Uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times with no success.
Game crashes on startup
I just bought the game and once I open the game, it crashes instantly.
Crashes instantly.
The game doesn't launch, just crashes.
App Does Not Work
App downloaded and crashes immediately upon opening.
Wont launch
Tried restarting and re-installing.
Не работает
Не заходит в игру айфон 15 про
Unpolished, needs serious work
There is basically no tutorial, and the UI is awful even in the beginning trying to figure out what to do. 60 minutes in and finally in a groove, pause to eat dinner, only to reopen the app and be back at the tutorial. All progress lost, apparently there’s no autosave. Do not recommend.
