  1. [R5] Egg 5/5 · US Very fun: This game has very fun progression and is very satisfying to play.
  2. [R11] Egg 5/5 · US Legendary Idle Game: Always refreshing to come back to this gem. It’s got just enough added each time to keep it fun and interesting, but doesn’t complicate anything.
  3. [R23] Egg 5/5 · US Egg inc: Great idle game easy and fun 🤩 I love this game it’s like what they used to say about vcrs Just set it and forget it 😎 ty guys review update Love the dark mode now the game looks like my phone ty👍
  4. [R26] Egg 5/5 · US Top 1% in the world baby!: It’s fun, been playing for a few years
  5. [R15] Egg 1/5 · GB Dark Mode App Icon?: This needs to have a dark mode app icon.
  6. [R17] Egg 5/5 · US Great Idle Game: It’s not super involved, this is one of the better idle games I’ve ever played. You can level up easy without spending a bunch of money, you can get all the whacky costumes without spending a bunch of money. All-in-all, it’s a 5 easy
  7. [R22] Egg 5/5 · US Really Fun: I really enjoy this game. It pushes for you to buy stuff but it’s not intrusive with it. I recommend it for anyone who likes chill games.
  8. [R4] Egg 1/5 · US 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
  9. [R12] Egg 3/5 · GB WHAT IS HAPPINING: my game won’t let me play and it crashed my iPad each time but overall pretty decent game Just fix this glitch so 3stars :]
  10. [R66] AdVenture Capitalist Tycoon 3/5 · US Stuck. Unable to play the game: Recently haven’t been able to play the game cause I’ve been stuck. The game asked me how I could watch an ad to double my profits and the game actually doesn’t actually let me click on anything. I’ve tried everything. I’ve tried closing the app a few times I’ve even deleted the game and reinstall the game and yeah, nothing has changed. It tells me to watch an ad it
  11. [R84] AdVenture Capitalist Tycoon 3/5 · GB Loading issue: I played this game on console i really like it but on mobile it doesn’t load like the bar gets to 70% and slowly progresses but just doesn’t move once at like 80% full and it just doesn’t load pls I rlly wanna play this fantastic game
  12. [R1] Egg 1/5 · US Lackluster: I subscribe and They take $9/month and don’t give us much at all for it. Less GG, less tokens it feels like. They Just keep nerfing everything. If I pay for something I’d like to feel like I’m getting “SOMETHING” for my money. I’m not…
  13. [R2] Egg 5/5 · US best idle game i’ve played: they’ve got their formula down super well, they don’t add a bunch of stupid stuff just to try and keep you in the app, and all ads are optional making you more likely to actually watch them for a reward rather than just being constantly annoyed by them
  14. [R6] Egg 3/5 · US Boring: Boring game to me it’s has so many ads
  15. [R7] Egg 1/5 · US Ads.: Great game, but these Atlas Earth ads are genuinely unbrearable.
  16. [R64] AdVenture Capitalist Tycoon 1/5 · US ads make it unplayable: This used to be one of my favorite games until they started forcing you to watch an ad every time you try to do something in the game like hiring a manager. Devs responses have been to just pay money or volunteer to watch an ad for a bonus but that isn’t a good enough response. A game shouldn’t be unplayable unless I give in to watching ads that are often over 60 seconds. O
  17. [R105] AdVenture Capitalist Tycoon 1/5 · US Unplayable now: Unable to play offline and ads that can’t be skipped. Looks like the development team gave up and is using AI to reply to bad reviews. Uninstalled after reading other recent reviews. Do not play this trash game.
  18. [R13] Egg 1/5 · GB What’s wrong with the ads?: Decent idle game with nice graphics, but the ads so terrible it is not funny. Close buttons so small that you need a microscope. Why does Apple write UI guidelines when developers ignore them with impunity?
  19. [R70] AdVenture Capitalist Tycoon 2/5 · US Can’t play offline anymore: I don’t mind watching ads in exchange for in-game perks, but now ads are being triggered: when I buy a manager, or an upgrade, or switch to an event. And now I don’t even have the option to opt-out of ads and perks by playing offline. Been playing on and off for ten years, this is ridiculous.
