Recurring themes

Ads & Monetization negative
Many users report that ads are a major problem, frequently crashing the game, not closing properly, or preventing users from receiving rewards after watching them. Some also note that ads have become longer and more frequent.R1R4R8R11
Bugs & Stability negative
A significant number of recent reviews mention various bugs, including freezing during character upgrades, game crashes, inability to load the game, and issues with event leaderboards. The developer's notes mention Firebase and SWRVE updates, but these do not seem to have resolved the reported stability issues.R5R8R13R17
Progress & Economy negative
Users report losing progress, especially in events, or having their in-game currency disappear. Some feel the demand for buds and upgrades is too high, making progress slow and the game feel like a 'ruined by greed'.R7R16R18R20
User Interface & Experience mixed
Some players find the screen too crowded or experience too many pop-ups and cutscenes. There are also reports of screen display issues on newer phones. However, others enjoy the simple gameplay and witty dialogue.R2R3R6R10

Who it's for

This game is for players who enjoy simple, addictive idle games with a Cheech and Chong theme and witty dialogue R6R14R42. It may appeal to those who don't mind frequent interruptions for ads and are willing to overlook potential bugs and progress issues . It is not for players who are easily frustrated by intrusive ads, game crashes, or slow progression, especially if they expect a smooth, uninterrupted experience R1R8R11R16.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily negative, which contrasts sharply with the high lifetime rating. Many positive reviews are short and lack detail, while negative reviews provide specific complaints. This suggests a recent decline in quality or an increase in issues not present in earlier versions. The developer's notes are generic and do not address the specific issues raised by users.

  1. [R6] 5/5 · GB Simple little addictive game: This game is so simple to play but I’m hooked, every spare minute I’m trying to make a little more cash!!!
  2. [R14] 5/5 · GB Cheech & Chong: i could sit in a empty room with just this game on my phone and have hours of fun it’s honestly great a really recommend
  3. [R22] 5/5 · GB Just fun: Didn’t know what to expect - but this is just good old fashioned fun. Crash the ash and give it a try.
  4. [R44] 5/5 · GB Decent game: Good game very addictive when your high haha 😂but all in all I’m really enjoying it mannn
  5. [R16] 2/5 · GB Needs difficulty balancing: Been playing the game for 4-5 hours now. I like the story, but the demand for buds to upgrade staff and buildings is too high even watching all the ads possible don’t make a dent in the amount required. The basic of an idle game is that it keeps going while you are offline but if you don’t upgrade staff and building it does not. Shame another gane with great potential b

  9. [R40] 5/5 · GB Great game: Really enjoying this developer games, but just as important is there was a bug and the guys cared enough to get it sorted the next day emailed response back to people who contacted them. Hope you guys do very well nice to see you care
  10. [R5] 4/5 · GB Bugs and fixes: I don’t know if it’s just me but I have this issue that when I receive a character or when I’ve upgraded them my game freezes anyone else having this issue ?
  11. [R8] 1/5 · GB Fix your game: Forced to watch ads and they constantly crash my game Sort it out ffs
  12. [R21] 5/5 · GB App crashing: Everytime on loading the game it goes straight to the leaderboard and then just freezes so I haven’t been able to play the game for about 3 weeks please help
  13. [R49] 1/5 · GB It doesn’t work yet: It keeps crashing
  14. [R1] 1/5 · GB Ads problem: The game wants you to watch ads to double money or help you along with the game and the ads don’t close! Then after watching the ad it then don’t give u the rewards and then u have to restart the game!
  15. [R11] 1/5 · GB Poor: Cant quit ads. Get to the end of an ad and then it dosent let me close it down. It stays there until i close the game down. Ive sat waiting 10 mins for the small x to pop up but never does. Ill change my review when they fix this. Only happened since the ios 17 update.
  16. [R29] 3/5 · GB Issues: Still love the game, still think it’s cute as hell BUT the ads get more and more annoying. Yes I watch them for extra buds but nowadays it takes 3 or 4clicks to close them and 60% of the time they just don’t close and you have to shut the game down. More often than not you have them lost the reward for watching that ad. Not good. I get it you need ads to make money but sort it out pls else
  17. [R7] 3/5 · GB Reviwe: Its a fun game and all but what really ruined it for me and made me end up deleting it was the fact at the end of each episode it reset pretty much everything.
  18. [R20] 3/5 · GB Great game BUT: Great game but now sick losing my double time bonus nearly every time in competition games it’s very depressing seeing ya hard work hammered by this 18 times over 4 days sorry others games don’t do it
  19. [R24] 5/5 · GB Best game: 💯 best game but I logged in and my 1000 buds was gon 😩
  20. [R30] 3/5 · GB Don’t waste your time: Started playing this and was enjoying it until I committed the horrible sin of leaving my house. Once I got back home I could see that all my data from the event that is currently running has been deleted and my progress reset completely. I was comfortably on target to finish in the top 20 but now I can see my name dropping down the list and there is nothing I can do about i
  21. [R10] 2/5 · GB too many cuts: i would much prefer if i could just play the game and progress without all the pop ups and text
  22. [R25] 3/5 · GB It’s okay: There’s just to many cut scenes
  23. [R35] 1/5 · GB Nothing special: The game gets boring quickly, just isn’t enough to do in it. There is also faaaar to much talking on it.. needs to be a skip button if it’s not an interesting storyline. Also hate being made to spend the gems and not getting them back, guess hoping when they are needed in future you will buy them. Just a really poor game, deleted.
  24. [R18] 2/5 · GB This used to be good.: This was a good game but now any kind of progress is so slow it has got quite boring. Bigger and more often multipliers please.
  25. [R36] 1/5 · GB I wouldn’t bother unless you’re a mindless stoner: Pointless waste of time, I only got it because of the repetitive ads for it. It’s exactly what it seems to be just mindless clicking. I suppose if that’s all you can mange then go for it! Don’t expect to get very far it takes more money than a rat bag dealer. It’s all waste either way.
  26. [R28] 3/5 · GB Black screen: App has stopped loading after significant play. Don’t want to lose data but only option at the moment is to reinstall. Any updates due soon?
  27. [R39] 1/5 · GB Cheech and Chong bud farm: This new update ain’t working. Iv updated it 4 times so deleted. I’ll go play a game where I can make real money and buy real bud!
  28. [R43] 1/5 · GB Won’t load: Game won’t load, have tried reinstalling clearing chance and nothing all other apps by this developer work fine but this one nada. What a disappointment
  29. [R47] 1/5 · GB Won’t load: Gets to 90% on the load up then shuts down again but I have no problems with any other games made by this developer
  30. [R4] 3/5 · GB Differences: Would be 4 stars for me but the advert after claiming your trunk is really annoying as you already have to watch adverts to get extra money extra buds and a X2 on cash flow. One thing to note the developers don’t do this on their other games.
  31. [R13] 1/5 · GB Useless game: I am getting sick and tired with this disconnecting me from your server and i am not giving it a star……
  32. [R17] 5/5 · GB Stuck: Mine is stuck on loading the event leader board. Any suggestions?
  33. [R2] 2/5 · GB Ok: It’s ok…but way to much on screen….deleted..
  34. [R3] 3/5 · GB Decent: Games fine just the amount of stuff crowding the screen
