1. [R1] Magic Mushrooms 1/5 · US Ads: If you didn’t need to watch ads for doing every little thing this game would be a lot better. It’s basically an ad simulator.
2. [R2] Magic Mushrooms 5/5 · US Fun: I like the game I had it on my old phone and now I'm playing it again
3. [R3] Magic Mushrooms 3/5 · US Ads: This games aesthetic and standard idle game mechanics are fun. But I couldn’t get over the fact that ads were tied to core functions of the game, ie leveling up. I play games like this when I have 5-10 minutes and I really don’t wanna spend 2-3 minutes of that in ads.
4. [R5] Magic Mushrooms 5/5 · US Pretty entertaining: I found this game on the app store yesterday and it’s honestly pretty addictive lol, I like the detail that the potion changes colors when you add a new mushroom, would definitely recommend
5. [R4] Magic Mushrooms 2/5 · US Ad h3ll: Game is so fun but you’re wild for wanting me to watch an ad every time I level up. Even buying no ads, the ads still pop up. Shame.
6. [R7] Magic Mushrooms 2/5 · US Mandatory ads: If you want to progress in the game you are forced to watch ads just to continue upgrading. If you don’t watch an ad you are locked in the position and it makes the game unplayable. Not sure how this game is 4.9 stars. Okay game but you get ad blocked every minute. Full ads. Deleting after posting this 100%! Play only if you like ads. You will be watching 50 ads per area to get 100%
7. [R9] Magic Mushrooms 3/5 · US It’s a great game but...: Every time I open it it will stay open for 10 seconds and then it will crash! Please fix this 🥺🥺🥺🥺
8. [R46] Magic Mushrooms 5/5 · US i love love this game: i played this game for like 3 years already. about a year or two ago i got to level 73 or 74 and it erased everything it started fresh for no reason i didnt delete it or nothing and i wrote a review about that bug, and now just a few days ago i downloaded it again so hopefully now i can play this game without it erasing my work but other than all that i love this game so muc
9. [R50] Magic Mushrooms 4/5 · US Love the game but small glitch: I am very close to unlocking every mushroom but once I got to level 133 (3 mushrooms away) my money counter at the top went blank and I got infinite but it won’t let me level up so I can’t complete it Overall very fun game though
10. [R54] Bud Farm 2/5 · US Unplayable: Recent update has made the game completely unplayable- it’s stuck on the push add for kushmas or whatever. You might want to fix this before people uninstall.
11. [R13] Magic Mushrooms 1/5 · US Horrible overuse of ads: This game makes you watch so many ads, there is not a way around them. Additionally, if you're not using the speed up ad power-up, then the game is an absolute grind. Do not recommend, feels like an ad farm.
12. [R10] Magic Mushrooms 1/5 · US Micro transaction in game is a SCAM: DO NOT purchase the remove adds micro transaction. It’s a scam. You still are forced to watch every ad
13. [R12] Magic Mushrooms 3/5 · US Fun but don’t buy!: If you pay to remove the ads you still have a forced ad in order to reset/prestige a row of mushrooms..
14. [R15] Magic Mushrooms 2/5 · US The no ads purchase is a scam: 3 dollars so not much, but it says it removes forced ads when all aspects of buffing yourself still require you to watch an ad. Not to mention that very few seconds a glowing item flies all across your screen which if your tapping on the screen you’ll hit which guess what? Forces another ad. Probably would have played this a bit more but definitely feel swindled.
15. [R53] Bud Farm 3/5 · US Good game, pop-ups drive me crazy: Game is fun, events constantly running, I like the story and the characters, but the amount of pop-ups that interrupt the game is insane. More than any I’ve ever seen, and this game doesn’t even have advertisements. Constant break in game-flow, makes getting into it hard.
16. [R57] Bud Farm 2/5 · US Too many pop ups: The game is fun, but the pop ups begging you to spend $5-20 on the game are intrusive at best. There is always atleast 2 icons wanting you to spend money that get in the way of trying to play the game at all….
17. [R68] Bud Farm 3/5 · GB It’s okay: Forced ads/“sale” prompts are nobody’s friend and please clear up the UI clutter. Even on an iPad it’s intrusive.
18. [R72] Bud Farm 2/5 · US too much: too many pop up ads for packages. they sit on the side and block the actual game play. too many ads playing for no reason. game is virtually unplayable around the ads.
19. [R63] Bud Farm 2/5 · US Too Idle: very funny, but you get absolutely nowhere unless you spend a ton. Who spends $15 for a one or two day benefit? Dev greed kills it.
20. [R65] Bud Farm 3/5 · GB New special events ruined the game.: I really enjoy this game, but the latest special event was very disappointing. You generally can do quite well in these events but the latest one is impossible to climb the ranks without actually buying packs. Even one of the bonus chest achievements was to spend money on a chest. Seems they have went very much for in app purchases and it made it much less fun.
21. [R74] Bud Farm 3/5 · GB Pay-to-win Events: Such a let down that all the events are pay-to-win. You could grind for days, only for someone to pay £20-30 and in literally 5 minutes be so far in the lead the only way to compete is to pay money yourself.
22. [R98] Bud Farm 1/5 · GB Meh: Been playing this game for a few years now, I keep going back to it hoping it will change but they just want your money. And even when you spend the money the bots still take top spot in all the events anyway so you never win back what you put in. You’re spending money NOT to get ahead of the bots. Wouldn’t recommend unless this is changed. Get rid of the bots.
