The ability to earn prizes through gameplay gave me something to work toward and made me genuinely excited to keep playing. Unfortunately, over time, that has changed. Although the current season seems to be slightly better, prizes have become increasingly difficult to obtain, which takes away a lot of the motivation and enthusiasm to continue playing and competing. Another major issue is the number of paid bonuses and upgrades. The game offers several opportunities to purchase upgrades in order to access larger rewards, but it has gotten to the point where it feels like you are almost forced to make purchases in order to complete missions and seasons. When I first started playing, these paid upgrades felt like an optional way to enhance the experience. There were also plenty of mini-quests and events that allowed you to work toward earning rewards without having to spend money. Now, some mini-games and events only allow you to access a portion of the available rewards unless you pay to upgrade. Even worse, making a payment does not necessarily allow you to continue through the entire event. You may pay to unlock additional rewards, only to collect one or two more before being asked to make another purchase to continue. This makes the game feel less like an optional purchase system and more like a pay-to-progress model. I also really dislike how the longer you participate in certain events, the more difficult it becomes to collect the necessary items, such as thread for the sewing events or cakes for the baking events. Instead of feeling like your progress is being rewarded, it can feel like the game is intentionally making progression harder the further you get. Finally, I really wish there were an option to remove or replace teammates during partner events. Players should have the ability to remove bots, inactive accounts, or teammates who simply do not contribute. Being paired with someone who does not participate can make it nearly impossible to earn all of the available rewards, especially when you are actively putting in the effort yourself. Overall, I still enjoy the game and clearly see the potential it has, but the shift toward making rewards increasingly difficult to earn and progress increasingly dependent on purchases has taken away a lot of what originally made the game fun. I would love to see the developers bring back more opportunities to earn meaningful rewards through actual gameplay and make paid upgrades feel like an option rather than a requirement. ### 3/5 — Enjoyed it to begin with BUT *2026-08-22, version 1.0.120* What a fun game which I have played for some time. There is no greater purpose to it really apart from spinning a slot machine. Although since the last couple of updates these annoying pop ups keep coming up, trying to get you to spend money on their game. Sometimes you have to click sour way trough 10 different ones until you finally get to go to your game. It was fun for some time but no longer unfortunately as this has become a chore. ### 5/5 — Jogo top *2026-08-22* Jogo muito intuitivo e bom **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are thrilled you find Carnival Tycoon fun and intuitive! ### 4/5 — This a real good game one of my favorite go to game *2026-08-21, version 1.0.119* Everything is fine but everytime I get with a team it keep loading everytime I try to request a card or give a person a card that's my only problem. I thought if I left the team and come back it would work but it don't. I even created my own team and it's still doing the same. ### 5/5 — Very good *2026-08-21* Very interesting game! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are thrilled you find Carnival Tycoon so interesting, happy playing! ### 5/5 — good *2026-08-21, version 1.0.119* perfect ### 5/5 — Boredom killer *2026-08-21, version 1.0.119* Overall not too bad of a game ### 5/5 — Awesome game! *2026-08-20, version 1.0.119* Absolutely loving this game! I just wish shields were more attainable! Apart from that, it’s well worth the download! ### 5/5 — Good game *2026-08-20, version 1.0.119* So fun ### 3/5 — Advertisements *2026-08-19, version 1.0.119* Used to love this game but deleted after a while. Constantly so many in game advertisements in purchasing in game energy/coins almost every single click. It became so irritable that you had to navigate and count how many ads till You can press X. Also right when you open the game you’re immediately bombarded with in game purchases. The problem is you’re not even given the chance to look for the option it’s every few clicks immediately buy this buy that so annoying. Also the repeat of the pirate treasure hunt everytime you finish/or don’t complete is also extremely dissatisfying it’s also unrealistic asking so much to pay to uncover after ever 4 spaces for sure you’ll never finish to the 3rd or 4th level. Come up with something newer and reasonable affordable. Enough with the frequent advertisements let us decide to look to purchase not at every few clicks. ### 5/5 — Pode baixar *2026-08-18* Viciante **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are thrilled you are enjoying Carnival Tycoon! ### 5/5 — Hi *2026-08-18, version 1.0.119* Amazing ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — POP UPS *2026-08-26, version 1.0.120* What the hell is with the 100 pop ups be for you even start the game it’s ridiculous, not to mention you can’t even progress at all. it’s so frustrating cards cards cards “spend 1.99” can unlock these bonuses” DO NOT BUY ITS RIDICULOUS AND FALSE ADVERTISEMENT ### 1/5 — Slop *2026-08-25, version 1.0.120* It’s just filled with an insane amount of micro transactions and most, if not all of the ‘art’ is ai generated ### 1/5 — No shields *2026-08-25, version 1.0.120* Liked it at first but when it’s time to get shields it’s hard. Just don’t download it! ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-08-24, version 1.0.120* This game is nothing like the ad and the creators are just money hungry. You never really win challenges because they are so difficult and require you to pay actual perks. Building anything in The theme parks requires you to watch a bunch of ads too. Don’t waste your time or money ### 1/5 — Chato *2026-08-23* O jogo é até legal Ms tipo podia tem um mini game pra nois ganha raio fica muito chato depois que acabada tudo tem nada pra fazer no jogo **Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear the game feels boring once you have completed everything there is to do. We completely understand your frustration and would love to see more mini games added too. Your feedback is valuable and we are continuously working to add more content and improve the game experience. ### 1/5 — Eh *2026-08-21, version 1.0.119* Was alright but like others said to much to upgrade buildings and can’t continue to play unless you pay which doesn’t do much but start the transactions and this game is not worth it ### 1/5 — What it’s like to play a goodwill monopoly Go *2026-08-19, version 1.0.119* This game is fun for the most part until you start running out of spins at which point they shove in game purchases down your throat desperately trying to get you to spend money. No ads but with how many offers it has there might as well be. It’s a joke how much money they want and what you’d receive if you did spend money. A new player that’s willing to put money into the game can easily be deceived into believing an offer is worth it later to find out that couple million in game currency they purchased did absolutely nothing long term. Seriously tune down the amount of offers and provide reasonable purchases. Definitely a cash grab if I’ve ever seen one. ### 1/5 — Scam game *2026-08-18, version 1.0.119* Scam scam scam scam scam scam scam do not download ### 1/5 — It’s an okay game but… *2026-08-16, version 1.0.119* It’s an okay game but when you log in you have to close out multiple popups wanting you to spend money. When you click out of one popup another popup takes it places. This also happens frequently while playing the game Very annoying! ### 1/5 — Bet fajuta *2026-08-13* Dez telas aparecendo uma atrás da outra te induzindo a comprar algo e ainda tem uma loteria viciada que mesmo não faltando quase nada pra ganhar, não te deixa. Não tem nada de tycoon como nos outros jogos, isso é puro scam. **Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear the constant purchase prompts and lottery feature have left you feeling this way, and we completely understand your frustration. We take all player feedback seriously and want every player to enjoy a fair experience. Your comments are valuable as we continuously work to improve the game. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Tycoon coin game *2026-08-27, version 1.0.120* Love it it the best game ever 10/10 ### 5/5 — Muito divertido *2026-08-26* Um jogo que te prende uma jogabilidade legal e pouco repetitiva ### 5/5 — Great *2026-08-26, version 1.0.120* Great ### 5/5 — Love this game *2026-08-25, version 1.0.120* Love this game I play it every day! ### 5/5 — Amazing game with no ads. *2026-08-25, version 1.0.120* 🔥🔥🔥 ### 5/5 — The best, most addicting game! *2026-08-25, version 1.0.120* I literally play this game MULTIPLE times a day.
