Another game I downloaded for the goddamn Fetch points because it had the highest rate and I was planning on just leaving it idling on my phone so I could rack up minutes on it but I guess there's some provision to prevent that because an hour left idling only counted as 2 minutes.
Anyway this is probably one of the most non-games I've ever 'played'. You spin a slot machine and you take care of a 'village'. But this isn't a tycoon/city builder! Oh no, there's only 5 things you can have in each 'village' and each can only be upgraded 4 times. Nothing in the village serves literally any purpose and you can't even choose where it goes. It just appears once you buy it and then starts its little idle animation. They don't even react or bounce if you tap on them.
The game showers you with spins when you start. So many that they literally have an auto spin mode where it just mows through them. And after you've burned through them all, you get 5 spins every 45 minutes. And... that's it. You spin the machine, you earn coins, you upgrade your village. Once all 5 buildings have been upgraded all 4 times, you unlock the next village. The next village will be the exact same, even down to what types of buildings you get and where they go, but with a new visual theme and everything will be more expensive. There's a 'raid' feature and an 'attack' feature, but the only way you can access them is if you get 3 in a row of their respective icons during one of your spins. Raids and attacking sounds interesting. Unfortunately, they're nearly identical and also are defined by the fact that there's no HP, no attack power or different moves, there's just pre-determined spots the screen that you tap a single time per spot. Raids you get to tap three spots, attacks you get one. What happens after you tap is all random. You don't conquer people or take over their villages for your own growth, there's no passive income, there's no personalization, you apparently unlock a 'pet' at level/village 4 but all it seems to do is sit in the corner of your screen in a bubble. You can't interact with it.
The game runs at like 130 fps and all the animations are set to like, x2 speed. It's especially noticable during the raid and attack segments, like the game can't wait for you to get the slightly more interactive moments over with. It's constantly begging you to put money into it to get more spins, get more coins, unlock more upgrades for your village, that is also the exact same as your number-neighbors' village, and is also the exact same as the top "player's" village was when they first started "playing".
I think mobile games get a bad reputation because yeah a lot of them are kinda skeevy and predatory, but you've gotta admit, some of them are really fun. But this... filth... it only exists to prey on people with gambling addictions and people whose entire lives have taken place in the same small town and play slop like this in order to feel something. And you know it works because the ads for this fucking game have had some of the biggest celebrities in them, people who cost more to have around for an hour than most of us make in our entire lives. And at the end of the day, you have to ask, should we even honor this piece of software with the title of 'video game'?

I hate this game thanks for the ads
roubaram meu dinheiro todo jogo de fela da puta descarado
Se que hubo una epoca en la que todo el mundo le dio por jugarlo como 9 años despues de que saliera.
Os acordais de los anuncios que hasta creo que llegaron a la tele o asi? Buf, puros recuerdos

I decided to give mistplay a go because a family member has actually gotten money from this 'play games and earn money' app and that seemed like a laugh, (I assume they are just harvesting so much of my data but at least I get something out of this data theft) and my god.
I'm aware that some mobile games are predatory because I've played a fair few but this is another level above, its obviously just a gambling game but with the actual gambling and monetary reward removed and its so awful, on top of that it will absolutely smash you with advertisements and offers the moment you run out of spins.
Sorry you may want to know, the game lets you spin a slot machine, earn money and mindlessly click on 'build this' icons which will improve a level until you are done and you leave for the next level but its so evil in nature it does its best to encourage as much spending as possible and relies heavily on what makes gambling games tick which is the whole 'whoa I won a bajllion coins because I used 50 spins instead of 1 for this bet' relying on that triggering feedback loop.
Honestly don't touch it with a barge pole it's awful and scummy.
