It's a really fun idle game, and I hope the dev will add more content as I enjoyed the game. Also, the game does not force you to watch ads it doesn't even have pop-ups for ads. The way they are making the money is via in game purchase for buffs and donations. All of these purchases are balanced there not charging too much for good Ingame buffs. Also, the ads situation might change as there is a thing you can buy to skip ads and get the reward

It's a great idle game, let down by the fact that you need to leave the game open to make meaningful progress, golden items aren't given without. Potion crafting. Arena levelling. Bought the 5x speed iap to see if that helps, which it does a little, but still will need to leave my phone open for a long time to make progress, also goes against the claim of not needing to buy iap if the alternative is to leave phone open for hours.

Awesome idle game, this is one of the first idle games I've actually stuck with, got all achievements except 1 on flasks and tubes. Would recommend changing the numbers to be in scientific in the settings, didnt have a clue what the numbers meant with the default but its super easy to change. I NEED CYLINDERS!!!!
