- [R52] Egg Great idle game: Egg, Inc. is easy to understand, fun to play, and has a million different ways to play based on your preferences. Tier system adds a good progression and strategy building. Spacecraft missions are fun, rewards are great from them, and the need to prestige to keep advancing is a great touch.
- [R38] Egg Eggcellent game: The progression is fast enough to where you don’t need to spend a dime to really enjoy it
- [R66] Bee Factory! It’s Fine: A lot of people seem to really be glazing this game (which is worrisome) There are a lot of ads. Every time you want to restart a bee row you have to watch an ad. Sometimes they force an ad on you. Which is annoying. There are no events. No selling goals. No setting up a new honey shop or beehive. Just opening new bee rows while collecting a new bee (besides a new look there doesn’t
- [R72] Bee Factory! Okay: I like the concept, and if the game were more difficult, it would be better. The main issue is that I almost beat the game in three days, with maybe three hours of gameplay total. Another thing that absolutely sucks is the sheer amount of ads. I understand that it’s a mobile game with ads as their main monetization, but it offers ads with just about everything, and even some of the features
- [R10] Egg Crashes upon opening: Just started happening a day after latest update.
- [R16] Egg New update is bugged!: The recent new update doesn’t let me even open the app! Game crashes every time I try to open up the app! I’ve deleted and redownloaded just for it to continue crashing when I open the app! Please fix!
- [R61] Bee Factory! It gets WAY too easy to grind up: But then it’s too hard like why
- [R1] Egg Bugs and crashes.: I've never played a game that crashes as often as this one. I'm on an up-to-date iPhone 15 Pro Max. There's no reason for an app to just crash like this. Then the bugs. Rounding errors and the game will use a boost even though I'm no where near the "Activate" button. I'm in the middle of the bar trying to scroll and it will activate random boosts because the dev doesn't care. Tr
- [R91] Bee Factory! crash: game crashes everytime i try to play
- [R100] Bee Factory! Unplayable amount of ads: This game is very fun and addictive, but I had to uninstall it because there’s SO MANY ADS. Even when you’re presented the option to watch an ad for a reward, if you press no, you still get an ad. The only way to get rid of these ads is by buying the VIP pass for $8 weekly ($416 a year just to avoid ads). There’s no way this company is that desperate for money, if you all
- [R31] Egg A perfect life/game balance: This game is perfect at balancing not taking up all my time but also enjoy when your playing. It’s simple and easy to figure out. The ads aren’t shoved down your throat and you can choose to watch them for extra stuff(they aren’t that good rewards but hey, it’s free) and it’s riding the fence of pay to win but if your patient 🤷♂️ no need to spend money.
- [R67] Bee Factory! Pure Greed: Idle has lost its way, surprisingly joining the ranks of the scammers. Nothing illegal, of course, but charging $7.98 per week? Almost $500 per year? This was downloaded, and then deleted faster than a cockroach landing on my face.
- [R102] Bee Factory! Don’t waste your time: I’m shocked at all these positive reviews. The game is very slow build up, and lots of ads. But if you don’t want ads you can always subscribe to the VIP for $8 PER WEEK. Absolute madness
- [R110] Bee Factory! Really wanted this to work.: I’ve been looking for a decent tycoon to sink into and buy. This is a satisfying game if you can get past the constant forced ads. The best part is the devs only ask is 7.99 A WEEK to remove ads. Big pass. Stop supporting greedy practices.
- [R94] Bee Factory! Ads ads ads: This game is nothing but ads, don’t waste your time
