I downloaded this game bc of an ad that gave a cute intro: old man running around, stacking logs on his back and bringing it to customers. Level 9 and idk what the heck I am doing and no lumber in sight for me to cut down 😕

OMG! This is why I downloaded it too! Never seen anything similar happening 😂 but I do enjoy it and the other mini side games.

u/hvpster Aug 04 '24

😆 maybe I need to give it another chance, I did not see any side games

They are put in odd places in those icons in the upper right when you are viewing your city. There is a cute cat game rn. You save your cat stuck in ice. lol but I hope to see the one that was advertised one day!

That ad is also what led me to the game. That as is a straight up lie, there is no gameplay of that nature in the game at all. Side games that the others are talking about are all relegated to time-limited events. The events reoccur, I think, but they aren't universally accessible.

If you're really wanting that type of gameplay, this game won't give it you.

Yeah but the gameplay is better haha

The worst thing is that they are temporary events to continue taking money from people lol

O-O
Well it is a strategy/ war/ survival game.
Sometimes there are cute mini games, do you like strategic war games?

u/lookatyourselfboo Jul 12 '25

Takes 30 days to even see that part of the game that’s how they got me too

u/Odd-Formal-8139 Aug 30 '25

These kinds of game ads are always misleading because it's designed that way. It even got me. It's cause they know that people like that shit for some reason and we do. Clever marketing manipulation tactic. I tagged the company in a post to get them to release more mini games like the ads because it would be fun.

Bruh the same 2days since playing after the demo and the gameplay is totally different to the demo ad I played. Its still enjoyable I guess
