### 3/5 — Not loving the pulsing ad things

*2022-08-11, version 0.10.9*

It’s be better if they didn’t seem to flash. Very annoying when you don’t wanna spend money. Everything blinking and flashing and asking you do things and you can’t make it stop. Would be more enjoyable to play if they didn’t pulse.

### 4/5 — Very buggy

*2022-01-17, version 0.10.9*

I would LOVE this game if it didn’t have so many bugs. I see a lot of people saying the same thing. The food court stops working and no one ever leaves the parking lot. The first level is cool, then you go to Miami and everything stops working.

### 3/5 — More levels

*2022-01-08, version 0.10.9*

Need more levels as cannot do anything as done last level

### 4/5 — Needs more

*2021-12-27, version 0.10.9*

Fun to pass the time with. Please add more locations and attractions and upgrades. I’m unable to go any further due to unlocking all locations and fully upgrading all my attractions. I would like to carry on but unable to. Hopefully this is happening soon.

### 2/5 — The products are expensive

*2021-12-05, version 0.10.8*

When you purchase the game, you see realistic humans at a live show, but in the game the “humans” are boxes with circles attending a concert that has nothing going on. 

Also in the gameplay, there are in app purchases that are $30 AUS 
Which is extremely expensive. Also the live show stage and the food truck etc. is very very very expensive, so that’s why it’s not my favourite game in the world

### 3/5 — Needs more content

*2021-11-12, version 0.10.8*

Only fun for a few days until you run out of content. Which then it gets super boring.

### 3/5 — Great app but tons of room for growth

*2021-11-01, version 0.10.8*

I’ve enjoyed playing this game! I never buy the in app options but I felt like it was worth it this time. I only rate it lower than expected because there’s no where to go after the Maldives level. Another downside was the layout remained the same throughout the whole game. I wish there would have been a way to place things on your own like the original tycoon games. Hopefully there’s more to come with this game.

### 4/5 — Good game but

*2021-10-29, version 0.10.8*

It’s a good game, but I feel the special offers in the bottom left should be able to collapse into a hamburger or be dismissable, because they make the hud feel too crowded.

### 2/5 — app literally will not open

*2021-10-20, version 0.10.7*

this game is very fun when it works. i got to the 3rd location and now my app will not open at all.

### 4/5 — Fun game but short - hope to see more content!

*2021-10-18, version 0.10.7*

I’m a big fan of idle games and really enjoyed this one. However it just took a little over a week to fully complete. Hopefully there’s more content on the way - or a new game in the works from the devs.

### 2/5 — Good game but can’t open app now

*2021-10-17, version 0.10.7*

The game is addictive I sat on it for over an hour an half then I went to re open it later on and it refuses to load

### 3/5 — It’s not fun watching ads and less fun once you pay to stop them.

*2021-10-14, version 0.10.7*

I just finished this game. It’s basically an ad every minute unless you play to stop ads. But at that point you get all the ad sponsored in game currency for free and you progress rapidly. It’s not worth paying $10 for a game that takes a week to finish.

Three stars because I work in the industry and it’s a meme.

### 3/5 — Fun when it works!

*2021-10-13, version 0.10.7*

This game was really a lot of fun, however I ran across an issue where the game won’t even load up. It will show just a gray screen and then the app would shut down. Clicking back on the app or closing it to open again doesn’t help either. The only solution that I’ve found (and even then this solution only works half of the time) is the completely restart my phone. Aside from that, I just have to wait. This has happened several times where it outweighs how fun the game is. Can’t really enjoy a game that has issues loading.

### 3/5 — Bugs

*2021-10-09, version 0.10.7*

Got stuck on buying the ‘food court’ as it said I had enough money to upgrade it, even though I don’t! I tried deleting and re installing this game which didn’t work, now I’m just stuck, I would like to get past this part and continue playing as I’ve been waiting for a music festival idle game like this   3 stars cause it looks awesome

Please sort it out so I can play

### 3/5 — Fun game but very buggy

*2021-10-09, version 0.10.7*

I’m enjoying the game even though it’s a simple concept. The graphics are fun and the playability is easy enough. Unfortunately I’m running into several bugs so far. I will upgrade a stage or a capacity or even buy a new section of the park and will come back to the area to upgrade more and previous upgrades are no longer there but my money is still gone. I even bought the water slide attraction and came back to the game and had to repurchase it as well as upgrade my camp site again. Aside from the frustrating bugs I do recommend the game if you can look passed them.

### 3/5 — Passed some time

*2021-10-08, version 0.10.7*

The game was somewhat fun, but it’s too short, you can get to the very last stage in less than a week with all attractions and booths fully upgraded. An idle game should have leagues more content than this one does. It’s not a bad game, it’s just lacking. I also want to mention that having Burning Man in there is a bit insulting as it’s not a festival and you shouldn’t be using its likeness for commercial purposes. Even if you’re using a generic title for it, it’s obvious what it is and you may want to change that level since it’s a violation of IP, unless Ofc you have permission, but that’s very unlikely.

### 1/5 — Ugh

*2025-01-30, version 0.10.9*

I want to play a mindless game and upon opening the first thing I see is an “elon musk” parody character? Disgusting.

### 1/5 — Copy

*2021-12-21, version 0.10.8*

You guys copied Idle Theme Park. Little to no originality and terrible graphics. Such a disappointment you’re lucky you receive decent reviews and people are oblivious to how you steal ideas.

### 1/5 — Festival?

*2021-11-24, version 0.10.8*

Evident from this game that not one person on the dev team has ever been to a music festival. 😂😂😂😂👎🏼

### 1/5 — Bugs

*2021-11-11, version 0.10.8*

The game was really fun the first day. During the second day the videos would crash the game. Later on, it wouldn’t open at all. I even deleted the game and downloaded it again. It won’t open. Don’t waste your time on a game that will inevitably crash.

### 1/5 — Just a game of adverts

*2021-10-30, version 0.10.8*

Unless you pay (a lot) it’s basically a game of sitting and watching adverts. You cannot customise anything, you literally select pre set festival sections and they get put on a map. Then you watch lots of ads. 

Also, the “festival” is not anything like a standard festival experience!

### 1/5 — Crashes during ads

*2021-10-25, version 0.10.8*

Too many ads. Too many interruptions. Too many “buy me” pop ups. 
Game crashes /freezes during ads about half the time without receiving rewards.
Uninstalling this piece of garbage.

### 1/5 — App keeps crashing

*2021-10-17, version 0.10.7*

Every time I try to open the game I get a black screen for 10 seconds and then the app crashes. I also paid $14.99 for no ads, so if this problem can’t be fixed I would like a refund

Happy to update this review and stars when the problem is fixed

### 1/5 — Buggy/Crashed on me twice

*2021-10-15, version 0.10.7*

I had a great time playing this game for the first night. When I went back the next day to check on my stuff and collect my money, the game would not open. I tried everything. Restarting the app, power cycling my phone, couldn’t think of anything else to try.

I thought, ok maybe this is a weird one time glitch. I deleted the app and reinstalled, which deleted all my progress. Thankfully I hadn’t gotten that far the first time around.

Well 2 days into download #2 the exact same thing happens. Game/app will not load when I open it.

### 1/5 — Overheats!!!!

*2021-10-13, version 0.10.7*

Opening this game and playing makes my phone very hot?! No other games have this issue.

### 1/5 — Too long

*2021-06-23, version 0.10.3*

In other games like these, early set up goes fast but here, it takes to long and I don’t feel like buying thins in-app just to have fun. Sorry for the bad review it’s just I like idle games but I like the aspect of a fast starting progression. So maybe some of the bonus revenue milestones should start out low and get higher as they go on.

### 5/5 — MORE MAPS PLEASE

*2022-05-06, version 0.10.9*

10/10 game but needs to add more maps, I’ve finished the game and now I’m bored🫠🫠🫠🫠

### 5/5 — Love it

*2022-04-06, version 0.10.9*

I love this game up it needs an update. I already completed the game and have been waiting for more levels

### 5/5 — Overall fun - ready for more

*2021-11-15, version 0.10.8*

I’m enjoying this game a lot but it’s easy to finish all the cities within a short time , and now I’m just waiting and hoping they add more cities and objectives to the game !

### 5/5 — Loved the game

*2021-10-23, version 0.10.8*

I enjoyed the game and the progression over the past few weeks. I loved the art work into all the art work on the upgrade of the buildings but I’m sad now because I reached the END!  I neeed more cities to tour and to expand and more buildings! This game was addicting and had me falling asleep every night watching it before going to bed making sure I had everything topped off before bed. Great job on the game! Definitely need to find another as good as this which is rare these days. Thank you for the game I hope to see more expansions on it.

### 5/5 — Completed it already.

*2021-10-22, version 0.10.8*

Completed it in less than 4 days, any new levels?
It’s a good game with great potential but far too easy to complete.

### 5/5 — Love i! But needs more stages to advance through.

*2021-09-16, version 0.10.5*

Great game!! Does have some goofy bugs (e.g., campground makes barely any money), but I’ve pretty much maxed out everything in the game. Please add more content and areas to move on to.

### 5/5 — Better than many idle games

*2021-08-24, version 0.10.5*

Simply put, I was able to complete this game without spending any money or checking in every 2 hours for a year just for one singular upgrade like most idle games. Prices are fair and design in cool. Good game.

### 5/5 — I finished

*2021-08-06, version 0.10.3*

I love this game and I finished it but I wish there would be more places to go

### 5/5 — It’s great!

*2021-05-21, version 0.10.2*

I love tycoon games and this is one of the best ones I’ve played!

### 5/5 — Love the game

*2021-05-14, version 0.10.2*

I really enjoy playing this game it’s fun to see the different appearances that each attraction has would definitely recommend wish there would be more festival places to go too
