  • Fun but buggy

    I really enjoy tycoon games. I like this one a lot, especially because it has frequent events. But lately it has been rather buggy. I have a very solid Internet connection, but it keeps cutting out and saying I need to check my Internet connection. Also,The little people in the game have stopped wanting to buy tickets from my ticket office. These issues only seem to have started in the last week, so maybe if a new version comes out it will be five stars. If not, it’s going to get annoying and I’m going to have to delete it.

  • BEWARE OF IN-APP PURCHASES!!

    Update: I’ve been talking to “customer service” for like a week now and Anthony tells me i can get my purchase back by sending screenshots and Paul says they can’t recover I spent $20 on permanent boost and offline assistance someone owes me my $20 or give me my in game purchases back!! Makes no sense!

    So I don’t understand why spend $14 on offline assistance just for it to not be used when you open other theatres that’s a waste of money and honestly pretty expensive for a game that doesn’t generate real money! I love the game and it’s fun but I want to use my $14 worth and keep my offline assistance for the whole game not just one theatre 🙄

  • Don’t review Apps Often but

    This one deserves a review from me. I just finished the last available theatre and it’s both enjoyable and frustrating at times.

    Pros:
    Enjoyable. Doesn’t require a ton of attention. Offers the ability to purchase an ad-skipper. So you can get all the in-game benefits that come from watching ads, with a one time payment. I had no issue with that, as I rather pay the game developer a few bucks, then watch a ton of ads throughout the process.

    Cons:
    I think my biggest complaint is that when your done with a theatre, it becomes useless. I would have loved if I got profits from finished theatres that go into my current theatre. But every time you advance to a new theatre, your start back at step 1. The other issue I had was when you get to the larger theatres, it can take a whole day of profits just to make a single upgrade.

    Love the game, y’all. But please try to make it a little less redundant, and less that moving from theatre to theatre is like hitting the reset button.

  • Awesome but...

    I was having so much fun with this game and almost got finished with my first theater and then out of no where my whole game started over. I’m annoyed and it might of just turned me off of the game completely. Like y’all legit could’ve gotten 5 stars but clearly there’s a glitch or bug or something.

    Edit: to answer your question developers, no I have never downloaded the game before or got a new phone. Literally I was playing the game almost got done with my first theater. I left the game for not even an hour, then got back in and the game started over.

  • Gimmicky

    This game is a good game. Starting out you can watch ads to increase your income when you’re at the lower level. When you start to really earn money, the ads don’t credit you for watching and if they do, you have to watch three or four before it credits you the amount for watching an ad. Now if my income to 2x my money is anywhere over 50,000 it doesn’t let you watch ads. You click it and it doesn’t open up to show an ad. Not worth my time playing. It’s almost as if they want you spend money on the offline assistant. Delete it trust me.

  • It’s ok...

    I like idle games but, this one is pretty slow earning and a bit stingy. Like in all idle games, ads are pretty much your source for growing your business much faster by earning some “VIP” extra cash and boosts. For this one, the boost only lasts for minutes instead of hours. The VIP cash will rarely hit acceptable amounts. I also don’t understand the earned amount. It says “per hr” but, is that per GAME hour or REAL LIFE hour?? Because if it’s real life hours, then I’m only earning 3k per in the beginning. Which is kinda ridiculous if you think about it.

  • Every good

    Hey so no one will probably ever read this but I was really looking forward to this game and... if does not disappoint. It’s really fun but still like at lot of other idle games but it’s also a little different ads are optional yes they help you progress throughout the game but you really don’t need them. Even though I’m rating this game 5 stars I’d say it really deserves a 4 1/2 but it was a little over 4 1/2 stars so I gave it a 5. Anyways long story short GET THE GAME what’s to lose?

  • 5 stars but...

    I absolutely love this game, it’s a good time waster and just overall really fun to play! However I’m not sure if it’s just me experiencing this but there’s a glitch where when I buy a manager it doesn’t show up and the price to buy a manager goes up even though I didn’t receive my first one. So if there is anyway that could be fixed I would appreciate it! Have a nice day and thanks for reading!

  • It’s a review

    Normally don’t leave reviews. However, if you’re looking for a game to play for when you are avoiding work or not getting enough attention from someone in your house, this is the game for you! Avoiding the boss? Go to the corner and play. Your s/o is playing games? You can too! For maybe at most a ten minute interval though. The game play is short, which is why I like it so much. There isn’t any thinking involved. Just finishing up each quest really. Gems are pretty easy to get from them. It can keep my mind thinking it is having fun briefly during a boring work day. The game can be slow, especially at the beginning of each theater but hey I mean. It’s an idle game? What did you expect? Play that tap tap chicken game if you want a more fast pace. It’s idle, fun, and like I said, a game to keep you occupied during your most boring times. I will add, that if you actually want to play this game you will need to watch the ads to move further into the game. Better chance at getting more money in a shorter amount of time. Don’t mind it though. I’ve seen the hotel idle ad probably more times than I can count and have it by extreme memory, but if it means I can get level 7 seating for sunset cinema, hey! I’ll do it. It’s an idle game, it’s the point.

  • Lifeless and boring

    This game is visually appealing and that's all it has to offer. The gameplay is extremely linear and the only difficulty is waiting for your passive income to flow in. You don't need to manage anything because you are just generating money from nothing. You cannot interact with your guests and they're really just there for show. No matter what you do, the statistics page will show you how much money you will be generating per hour, guaranteed. So there is no strategy to this game, upgrades are literally just to generate more money, there are no upgrades that directly affect guests or management.
