Gameplay

The game maps are called Episodes and proceed in stages of business development. Each level includes several objectives that must be completed before the player can advance to the next Episode.

Warning: Completed goals DO NOT carry over to the next episode. Make sure to collect all completed goals before advancing.

Shops will generate cash which can be tapped on to collect income after the timer bar has filled. Upgrading shops will boost the amount of cash they generate. Assigning a Monster to a shop will enable automation and passive cash generation.

Monsters (managers) assigned to select shops will improve the income generation speed/amount. Monsters must be upgraded to continue using automation as the game progresses.

Focusing your upgrades on the higher tier shops will provide a much greater return on investment in the end game. Especially enabling automation for the periods when you go to bed.

As you advance through the Episodes, the amount of cash generated by low tier shops will become inconsequential. However, missions will likely require ineffective upgrades to progress the storyline.

Events

Throughout gameplay Event maps will become available and will run concurrently with the main map. Additional resources can be acquired on the Event maps.

However, be mindful of spending premium currency trying to clear the Events or rank high on the leaderboard. This can detract from the efforts spent clearing the goals on the main map.

Even small rewards from the Event maps can be useful in clearing the primary objectives. You can also expect regular players to spend cash to rank high on the leaderboards.

Event Strategy and Tips

These event maps use a simplified format for upgrading shops.

All shops on the map will use a single Card for Cash or Time upgrades that will allow automation, while each individual shop will still have the regular managers.

This means you only need to focus on upgrading a single Card if you just want the passive returns.

At Event completion, we receive 25% of our leftover event currency as NanoSpider coins, up to a max of 500 coins. This means we want to end the event map with 2,000 event currency.

Completing tasks on the Event map will contribute to the Monster Pass tasks.

Tips

All shops may be temporarily increased by watching an ad to activate a boost. This can be done 3 times for a 12 hour boost.

You can watch an ad to double your accrued offline idle income.

Tapping on the bird flying across the screen can earn Cash, and occasionally you can watch an ad for double rewards.

Trading cards counts towards “Get Cards” task.

To get Building Cards you need to achieve Customer Bonuses. This occurs when you reach a customer milestone by filling up the purple/pink bar on shop.

Customer Cards are available by Trading, purchase in the Shop using NanoSpider coins, or from Coffins and stage advances.

Surveys through Revenue Universe can be completed to earn extra Dream Crystals.

What’s the hardest decision you’ve ever had to make? Why?

A couple weeks ago I made the difficult decision to cease providing wiki pages and game art galleries for several mobile titles.

I was under a certain amount of duress after receiving multiple complaints and strong suggestions to make a change.

You may know, earlier this year my YouTube channel GameGirlsGallery was shutdown, most unfortunately. Complaints about the amount of sexually suggestive content present in mobile games, ranging from game art to dialog and plot lines, had built up over the years and ultimately killed the channel.

The reasons for the recent site content removal are the same as those that caused GameGirlsGallery to be removed.

The Top Girl / Apex Girl wiki hosted on fatwalletrefugee accounted for nearly 84% of all site traffic. The remainder of site traffic went to the mobile game art and character galleries.

Top Girl had been initially rated mature, but after being removed from the Apple Store and worries over possible removal from the Google Play Store they released several updates that brought the rating down to Teen.

Despite the artistic changes there was still a good amount of sexual suggestion and lewd imagery present. In fact, I think most regular people, if looking at most titles in the Google Play Store rated Teen, might think the games were for Mature audiences, and not be suitable for the age ranges the ratings board has decided on.

Even playing merge and puzzle games rated E for everyone, I still see ads for games rated Mature, AI dating chat bots, hookup apps, romantic story apps, and Harem anime games.

All this plus the mounting complaints and suggestions of actions taken led me to the hard decision to purge the site of all offending content. I deleted all of the posts, pages, wikis, and site media including images and videos that were likely to receive further complaint.

I was contacted by multiple subscribers afterwards asking where everything went and had to explain the difficulties I went through deciding to stop providing that type of content.

I had in fact been expecting to hit the 1 million page views mark by December this year, a new milestone stone for this site. Prior to the content removal, my average daily site traffic in early November was around 6k views. Sadly, now my average is closer to 450 views per day.

As you might imagine, my ad revenue has fallen off a cliff. While I had recently received my first payout from WordAds since signing up in March of 2024, I am likely not going to receive another payment for some considerable amount of time hereafter.

A steep decline in daily revenues is notable on the day after the site was purged of content.

The question as to how to recover from this loss also comes up. I still provide guides for family-friendly mobile games. I am in the process of detailing a guide for Fable Town at the moment. I am also expanding the written content for buildings and units in the Puzzles and Chaos wiki.

I used to get good traffic from Google and Reddit for my game guides, but once I began focusing on Apex Girl and Road to Rich, that traffic dropped and the algorithm sent those folks to other resources.

There is also the Travel and Food section of the site which hasn’t seen much writings since my last trip in 2019. That was originally what started my blog. A trip to New York City to see family prompted me to make kasanje.home.blog and years later I bought the fatwalletrefugee.com domain.

There are also side projects I started but never finished like the FatWallet Forums archives and the Lost Media directory.

Recently, I began redesigning the Travel page and restructuring the page hierarchy for that section. This also involves adding pagess for each US state I have visited and a separate section for my international trips.

My vacation to Washington last month inspired me to travel more locally here in North Carolina. I also was gifted a new camera. It’s an Olympus E-M10 II. There are two swappable lenses, one telephoto and a precision close up, and three batteries.

In the past month I have visited and photographed 6 towns and a state park. I am planning a trip to visit the Outer Banks next year.

Hopefully this move back to this site’s roots will boost site traffic and begin to shift the algorithm back home.
