I am not paying for them! ### 2/5 — Gems *2024-07-01, version 1.2* Game is good until you get far enough where everything needs to be upgraded by gems and then I have to wait multiple days to even upgrade one place because I need 90 gems which i just don’t have ### 2/5 — Love this game but… *2024-07-01* I really loved this game when I first got it but it’s just taking way too long to get gems to progress and same with being able to go on tours. I would love if they implemented more ways to gather free gems and cards as I find myself only logging on to get the gems of the day and then not touching the app at all because it’s going to take atleast 10 days if not more to get enough gems to even be able to do anything on the game. There’s definitely better idle games but I will say again I really do love this game I just have higher hopes for it. ### 2/5 — Can't level up? *2024-06-28* No clue how to make things level 2 because everything stalls at like 94% so you run out of things to do. a ### 3/5 — Fun Game, Hard to get Gems *2024-06-25* I’ve been playing this game everyday. I really enjoy it! However, you need gems to upgrade each room but the only way to get gems is to complete daily tasks and quests. However all my quests are to upgrade rooms but I can’t do that without gems. I either have to pay for the gems or log in everyday for 1 week to earn my daily task rewards to finally spend 600 gems to upgrade a room as per my quest. I feel like I’m at a standstill as I enjoy the game, but not enough to log in for 20 gems a day ### 2/5 — Mmm🤔 *2024-06-21, version 1.2* The ads don’t always work so u have to come out of the game & go back in. Annoying! Plus you have to spend diamonds to finally upgrade things which means you have to spend money…BS! Deleted unfortunately ### 3/5 — Phone heats up, slow progression *2024-06-03, version 1.1* Game can be played for free, however, there are upgrades(and therefore progression) that require gems(which you pay real money for). One can acquire a small amount of gems daily, however, it can take multiple days/week to complete one upgrade. Please make other ways to collect gems. My phone heats up within minutes of playing, worse if it’s plugged in. Unfortunately, it takes watching many ads to progress at a decent speed, however, the phone heats up to a point the phone will stop working “until phone returns to a normal temperature”. I enjoy the game, but will likely delete soon if they don’t give other ways to collect gems AND find a way to lessen the load so the phone doesn’t heat up so much; there are more complex games that don’t heat up nearly as much. ### 3/5 — A bud in the scheduler *2024-05-28, version 1.1* The schedule doesn’t work after the first use of the shows ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Stole My Money *2025-01-21* This game is a total scam. “All Objectives Complete”. But you put real money into it and can’t complete the objectives. I want my money back! ### 1/5 — Gems *2024-12-04, version 1.4* Don’t play the game, you have to pay to win after a certain point. Frustrating. ### 1/5 — Progression is behind a paywall *2024-08-28, version 1.3* It’s kind of skeezy to create a game that you can only upgrade your rooms with gems/currency you have to purchase ### 1/5 — Geht nicht weiter in die nächste Venue *2024-08-17, version 1.3* Hab jetzt alles durchgespielt. Lediglich die omedy-Shows müssen noch aufgewertet werden. Allerdings steigt dadurch nicht die Bewertung. Ab 1.600 Punkten Bewertung geht’s in die nächste Location, ich stehe bei 1.410 Punkten und selbst bei teuren In-App-Käufen verändert sich nichts mehr. Absoluter Betrug, wenn man so nicht mal auf die Punktzahl kommt, um die nächste Location zu wählen. Bin sehr wütend, dass ich einiges Geld bezahlt habe, aber nun feststecke. ### 1/5 — Can’t level up *2024-07-17* After awhile you can’t level up which is weird ### 1/5 — Won’t keep playing this *2024-06-25* Why would you think of using a Whoopi likeness. She is one of the most divisive hate filled being on the planet. No thank you ### 1/5 — Kaufzwang *2024-06-17, version 1.2* Man MUSS ab einem gewissen Punkt Dias kaufen. Anders kommt man nicht weiter, weil man ohne Dias nicht weiter upgraden kann. 👎🏻 ### 1/5 — Language *2024-06-11, version 1.2* German ### 2/5 — Good game but… *2025-11-05* It’s a fun game but if I try to purchase anything, the game crashes. ### 2/5 — Pay to win *2025-01-17* Was fun for a bit but you have to spend gems to level up which you get through quests which you need to spend the gems to complete,spending a few days doing the daily quests or paying money. Good to play for a week that’s ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it *2024-08-17* Love this game ### 5/5 — Too many ads *2024-07-22* Too many ads on the interface ### 5/5 — Good game and very fun *2024-06-05* Love the comedians performing hilarious show. ### 5/5 — gr8 game *2024-05-30* super fun and relaxing **Developer response:** Hi, it's good to hear that. Please contact support@jinshi-games.com if there's any problem. We'd love to help. ### 4/5 — Good Game. *2025-03-10, version 1.5* So far it a good game. I enjoy playing it but I only have one issue like with most games. There is no save option which if you get a new phone you have to start over again which I see as pointless and would stop people playing if they have to start over again multiple times. Please can you add one but please don’t just use facebook as not many people use it. ### 4/5 — Engaging and Humorous *2024-10-15, version 1.4* Idle Comedy Central Tycoon offers a fun, light-hearted experience with a comedic twist. It's perfect for casual gamers who enjoy management simulators with a humorous flair ### 4/5 — It’s an ok game *2024-06-20* The game is ok so far, I don’t necessarily like that you have to spend gems in order to level up every section but I get it. ### 3/5 — Diamonds *2024-11-01* It’s a good game but you have to wait too long to be able to get diamonds. Would be better if y’all made it where you could watch ads to earn more diamonds quicker. ### 3/5 — Gems *2024-10-05* You either have to wait a day to win gems or buy them, you get maybe 2-4 a mission but you have to spend like 150 to upgrade a room. ### 3/5 — Gems *2024-07-19, version 1.3* It was a good game up until where I needed to upgrade the theatre. I only used the gems when I had no other choice to upgrade. I cannot get anymore gems and I don’t want to pay for them. I cannot earn anymore by doing tasks either because they’re all to do with the theatre that I can’t upgrade. Maybe put ads in to earn gems like you do with cash? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
