Recent Dark Pattern Reviews

Grinding reported on Oct 9, 2022
It's tedious to have to wait for your creatures to harvest resources. And you need more and more of them as you grow, since it's inherently an exponential growth kinda game.
Premium Currency reported on Oct 9, 2022
The premium currency are gems, which can be used to buy items, some allowing you to get other in-game currencies.
Wait To Play reported on Oct 9, 2022
It can take up to 3hrs for a new island to spawn, which can (sometimes, not always) be skipped by watching an ad or paying with one of the in-game currencies. You also have to wait for your creatures to wake up, with time varying depending on your creatures houses.
Pay to Skip reported on Oct 9, 2022
The islands take time to spawn, can be skipped with pearls.
Accidental Purchases reported on Oct 9, 2022
There's pop ups that can be be tapped by accident.
Variable Rewards reported on Oct 9, 2022
