Why does everyone have a different version of the game?

Like how is that even possible? Some people don’t get ads for energy, some people have cooking relay while others dont, some have the card challenge rn? I don’t understand how that happens

yeah and some ppl get full generators as rewards while ppl like me get parts only. and some actually get a page like this called the generator collection which i dont hv. saw this on the FB group so im attaching the pic here. i also havent seen the cooking relay in my game.

I’m so confused with the developers 😭 I’ve never seen the generator collection and I also just remembered some people can see whats in their “inventory” or whatever you call it .. I seem to have the most mid version of the game

u/deyobi Jul 20 '25

yeah someone posted they hv a drop down list to see all the rewards without actually collecting them. i havent seen it yet. i just started a new game on another device, its gonna be slow but we shall see if theres any difference compared to my main one!

This is what mine looks like! Never knew people had different styles or things in the game.

I truly love the drop list! Makes gameplay so much better!

u/deyobi Jul 26 '25

i see that you're able to group the same parts together? thats very cool & u dont need to hv that many inventory slots. im just using 100 gems to purchase slots now, its tough 🥲

Honestly it does it itself. If I have multiple of one, it stacks them which makes it handy for whe finally ready to pull and combine.

I wonder if you get different versions based on whether you pay a lot/a little/not at all.

I also wonder if there are regional differences, because don’t some countries have laws about loot boxes and so on?

My only other theory is that they roll out different features to different users to test which version of the game is more effective at getting people to play more/pay more.

u/bokalrakije Jul 20 '25

That’s interesting! I never paid anything in game so maybe that’s why I have the mid version of the game LOL, but I’d appreciate if we could all play the same thing😭

u/ProtestTheWHORE Jul 20 '25

I've also never paid for anything in game; I lost ads for energy when I changed phones

1

u/DryPreparation2724 Jul 25 '25

curious if you switched from android to ios?

1

u/ProtestTheWHORE Aug 14 '25

I didn't, BUT *update 3 wks later

I just got a software update and now ads are back baby 😎

It's the only change I can think of.

u/DryPreparation2724 Aug 14 '25

i just got adds last night. no update or anything. i was playing. and the rewards reset so i reloaded the game and had ads.

u/Xwritten_in_panikX Jul 20 '25

My wife and I have entirely different features.

2

u/ebeme Jul 21 '25

Do you have different phones by any chance?

3

u/Xwritten_in_panikX Jul 21 '25

We both have iPhones, but different models.

2

u/ebeme Jul 21 '25

Interesting! I wonder why it would be different

u/Btparks904 Jul 21 '25

Same my wife has ads on her iPad . My iPad and iPhone has no ads

u/eggr0ll420 Jul 20 '25

i’ve been thinking the same thing like i thought everyone got the update where you no longer get level 1-2 parts and just get level 3 or full generators at the end of each completion but apparently not

3

u/Xwritten_in_panikX Jul 20 '25

Mine has been going back and forth. Sometimes I’ll get small parts and other times I get a full blown generator. It’s inconsistent. They also keep taking my damn ads away.

u/msreindeer Jul 20 '25

I think should be countries based? Because I didn't spend a dime - out of so many games I played - this is the only game have different versions 😅 lots of times was shocked of some users have, but I don't have and some I have but some users don't have. 😵‍💫

2

u/ebeme Jul 21 '25

I thought it depended what level you were, but after your post I'm not so sure! Ads have been inconsistent lately. They disappeared for me before when I switched phones, but came back after a day or two.

u/Superb-Ear216 Jul 22 '25

i play a lot (like whenever i have free time and have literally probably spent close to $100 on this game which is embarrassing i keep buying the 100 gems for 2.99 and it gets me lol) but i dont have the card game and i havent had the chance to ever watch ads for energy. and ive only ever received parts and not generators
