Good but stuck – Idle City Empire Review

This is an addicting idle game and I enjoy it. But recently I’ve become stuck - the income I have to make to reach the next city is high, which I understand, but what my buildings make in a day barely make a difference. Rewards from ufos, moose etc. don’t give anything near the current amount needed to help at all. At one time opening briefcases helped a little in moving forward, but now they offer basically nothing income wise and only the very occasional building upgrade. I watch ads for the bonuses and always fill the train but it makes no difference. I’ve spent money on gems and packages but again, I can’t move forward. I hesitate to spend any more money since it seems it doesn’t make a difference. It’s really disappointing because I think the game has a lot of potential- adding new locations and events would be great. At least in farming empire there’s always something to do. But unless the creators of the game can tell me what I’m doing wrong sadly I can’t recommend this game.
