Teacher

There needs to be a way to unlock teacher cards and not only use gems to get them

Unbearable

The game has a typical premise which is fun. I couldn’t make it all the way through the tutorial without the game forcing me to buy something with gems. The game requires you to get medals to hire and upgrade teachers but no matter how many medals you get, you have to “make up for the difference” with gems. I had 20 medals for a 20 cost teacher, game said I had to pay 30 gems because I didn’t have enough resources. So I got 50 medals for the 20 medal teacher. I still did not have enough and had to pay 30 gems.

Even looking at the reviews about a guy who paid for a No-Ad Pass and received almost nothing in return because the game offered no options to gain extra money (from ads) because they were no longer there. Instead it would always suggest him to just pay with gems instead.

Either the devs just havent dont enough beta testing or theyre completely predatory and trying to get someone to pay $20 for a horrible package. Just to keep paying more for the gems they cant produce.

It is okay…

The UI and upgrades are fun, you acquire gems easy enough so you don’t feel starved for using them which is needed for teacher upgrades.

The objectives are somewhat unclear, perhaps a language barrier…an objective will say “upgrade X” but there won’t be anything named X and you have to figure out what upgrade will satisfy the objective. Example: “upgrade passenger flow”, there is nothing about passengers or flow anywhere, this objective is completed by increasing the amount of students who come in and the front desk.
Example 2: the game talks about “RV activities” but there is no RV or anything to do with RV’s anywhere….

Sometimes clicking an objective will bring you to what needs to upgraded but occasionally (in the Japan setting the most) you will brought to something that is not related to objective at all…so either the objective is mis-labeled or it is connected to the wrong thing for auto locate.

Additionally, there are tons of visual issues. The floors/carpets look like they have collision issues for a good example.
Additionally, mini objectives to locate a student with a matching interest has unclear symbols to explain interests, the objective should show what symbol match you are searching for.

However, the worst visual crime is the amount of screen clutter. Holy heck, there is so much stuff popping up, and bordering the screen. I feel like I am being strong armed to going ad free even knowing that much of that clutter wouldn’t go away as it isn’t ads but in-game content. I am just moving on because this game is not yet worth the $20 to see if it really improves.

Worst game ever

The person is lying. This game has ads

Level up, chef use gems

So I have to level up my chef if I don’t have enough gold metal or whatever it is and now I don’t have enough gems that they want you to buy about uninstalling this game.
