Want to enjoy it
When 3/4 of the time playing is watching ads to get the 2x multiplier for the next two hours so that you can actually upgrade things...something isn’t right.
I grew up at the movie theaters so I was really excited when I found this game. Unfortunately things cost so much that in order to really play the game for longer than 20 seconds, you need to either watch tons of ads to obtain they 2x multiplier then wait two hours, or pay real money.
I get that games aren’t made for free, but there is nothing to do unless you either watch tons of ads and come back in two hours or pay money. There needs to be something in between.
One thing I don’t understand about these kinds of pay wall games is, “out of sight, out of mind.” If developers want you to actually play the game, you have to make something playable. Once I close the game to ‘wait’, my mind is onto other games that aren’t a waiting game and those games win out. As a result, after a few days of inactivity, I delete.Show lessJDM012
Goal Glitch
I’ve been playing for about a week now and unlocked the second movie theater, and unlocked a bunch of stuff in it last night. After the update however, the first theater now says I have only competed 70 goals out of 72, and now I can no longer access my second theater. When I click the goals nothing appears.
Update: Deleted game and redownloaded to see if that would fix the issue because support was taking too long to respond, and ended up losing not only all my progress but the features I paid for as well. The only response I got from support was “try connected to Facebook to restore your progress and if you didn’t already connect before hand your progress can’t be restored.” Then he proceeded to end the chat before I can even respond. So they basically said they can care less that I spent money on the game and lost the features.Show lessShaHill1117
Developer Response
Good news! We have a fix for this issue! Please reboot your game and let us know how it goes.Adds are broken
I’ll admit, I watch adds to get more money; but some of them that seem to good to be true (say you should earn 11,500$ but if you watch an add you get 23,000$) they stop the add halfway and crash the game! To where you get back on the app, and you have NO money from while you left. But this game is fun and the progress you make, makes it worth it :) I love these games that they make but WHERE THE HELLS MY MONEY!!! THAT STUPID CANDY CRUSH ADD KEEPS TAKING IT!!! Anyways it’s a good game, and you should get it :)Show lessJackTheRipperIsBack2
So Slow...
I love tycoon games and even stick around those who are overly micro transactional but this game is so slow. The rate at which you earn money is slow and everything is expensive so the funds get spent really quickly. This wouldn’t be that big of an issue if you had customers coming into the theater but that’s the worst part. There is a really REALLY slow trickle of customers coming in. You would think that there would be more customers filling up my parking lot to make me more revenue but no. Has potential but there’s other games out there that have a nice balance of customers coming along with funding to expand.Show lessMarinspidey
NEEDS updates but the money problem
So the thing I was REALLY mad is that it takes about an hour to get AT LEAST a dollar but instead when you wait that WHOLE hour it gives you about $20 when you wait that whole hour. this is one of the realist updates, literally whoever is the owner of this game please read this comment this update is going to be, well hopefully the update is going to be you’re going to get money in 50 seconds and you get paid $200 literally of course tycoon games never give you any money so don’t get this game it’s a waste of your time, and if you’re deciding to get this game or not don’t get it just don’t get it. you should literally shut this game down if you’re not gonna do the update that I said.Show lesscupacke gamer
It’s ok
A fun game that relies heavily on forcing you to watch 30 second ads whenever there’s an opportunity to boost or earn a large sum of money. It’s one of those games we’re you check in for a few minutes, leave, come back a few hours later and have the option to watch an ad to double the revenue you earned offline or continue playing. The micro transactions really cripple the gameplay and the prices are laughable. I support this game with a high five for its minimalist design but I disagree and shame with their ad placement practice and their in app purchases.Show lessIzzyAzaelae
Change needed
I’m giving this game 5 star because it is so much fun. BUT! I do not play anymore because after I finished completely updated my first theater and moved onto the second theater it feels like I start from scratch. If this was a good or proper game my money would move between theaters. It is SO annoying that I have millions of dollars at the first theater with no purpose and I have no where to spend it. If I could use the money I have earned and continue to earn from the first theater and use it for the second and so forth this would be the best game Business or tycoon game. I have played basically every business/management game in the App Store and this game could be the best with that one change.Show lessAcoZtwin
Feel like I’m at movies
It’s fun game I normally don’t like sim city type games take to much time for me to play but this is fun you theater earns income after you close it for two hours that is big helpful I enjoy going to movie theaters this second game I can get close to it,.
If you saw nick show drake and josh, josh gets job working at movie theater this there is karaoke , game room, you unlock later on in game expensive bigger theaters I call imax / 3d movies it’s a lot of fun if you like going to movie theaters as much I do meeting talking to people who work there and customers this game is for you to level up movie theater to its max and move on to next bigger theater to work atShow lessBatsksd
Different prices
I have the ticket machines leveled up to the same level, but I really do hate that they are different prices. I think that since they are the same level they should be the same price. I have to pay $33,000 for one machine, then $22,000 for a another even though they’re both the same level. The rest of the game is pretty cool but I just think you should work on the prices for things. It’s like that for everything thing in the game, so please work on that.Show lessmilan7230
Glitches
This game is fun. It does cost a lot to upgrade but once you get to a certain point, leave, come back later and you having enough to upgrade a lot. Then just repeat that process until you can upgrade everything. The only problem I have is I’ve spent 3 million on upgrading the same thing because it doesn’t take, so I can’t advance past the first theater at all. I’ve tried several times and it still isn’t taking. So it only gets 3 stars, which I should give it less since I am going to delete the game. No sense in playing anymore.Show lessandcook
