Enjoyable Game

I really enjoy this design of a rather ‘simple’ tycoon game and do not have much to critique of this team’s execution of the project. As for many, I honestly would like to see this game grow and develop more as it definitely does have a high playability. All that being said, I only have one criticism to make: AI Pathfinding AI pathfinding within this game is mediocre at best, it certainly suffices, but is merely satisfactory to run the game. Often, I find myself having to arrange shops and services differently just because crowds usually get stuck in spaces narrower than 2 grids - even fans does not prevent backups, and instead just causes a loss of customers and income. Other times I find visitors on the edges of the maps randomly, and while searching for an explanation I became more confused when I saw visitors slowly accelerated to random places of paths with No Service Fans in sight. Rarely, when a visitor is hungry (etc.) they will ignore food stalls that are within their reach, never replenishing their fullness. When visitors become excited, such as seeing a food stall, they often run into other objects causing them to get stuck again. Overall, I still really enjoy the game and still find it worthy of five stars mostly due to the confidence I have that these mentioned issues will be fixed in the near future.

Mobile Devs, TAKE NOTES!

This game is amazing, and I mean that in the “Not annoying advertisements popping way.” Mobile developers if you are reading this, take notes on this game’s execution of bringing in advertisement income. In the manner that it is presented, I actually don’t mind and enjoy watching ads. They aren’t forced down my screen, or pop up every 15 seconds, but is purely a choice! And more often times than not I choose it because I want the reward. That being said, I’m not annoyed 2-3 clicks in to playing and it actually keeps me coming back for more. Longevity should be the goal of your player base, not how many players you target with ads in the first few seconds. I’m sure a lot of others feel the same way. What a relief it is to play a game for once because it’s fun and not a hassle. The gaming industry is being destroyed by such greedy concepts and I barely keep mobile games on my phone anymore because of it. But this has earned its stay for over a good few days, and that’s actually a record in my book. Good job devs and keep up the good work and updates, you have a fan here, simply out of the good execution of your product.

Good at first

This game has a lot going for it. The pace is nice. The main park feels pretty good. Lots of ways to optimize park flow and income by placing rides and mascots strategically around and then using food and redirection with other objects. Where things start going downhill is the level of monetization and heavy lean on ads to further gameplay. Without the ad content, this game slows to a crawl. There are also ride spaces locked behind a paywall and that’s just no good. You have these holes in your park that you can’t do anything about unless you spend money. Additionally, the 2-day events look like they have a live leaderboard, but comparing my game on my phone to another game on another phone the leaderboards don’t match. So either they’re lumping different players together or the leaderboard is just arbitrary computer generated players with a slow, but steady increasing score. There’s no way I’m the only person getting as many points as I got. Takes the competitive fun out of that mode. And the fact that after the event completion it just starts over again is not helping perpetuate the grind of that event. Also, the 2-day park and the main park don’t earn income correctly when the app backgrounds. It’ll just resume the game and your income hasn’t changed (main park will sometimes work correctly). You need to force-quit the app for it to register you’ve been gone.

This is a good idle game, but…

So first of all, the game is a fairly fun idle game. I can read for an hour or so while my phone’s open to it and then upgrade a ride or build a new one (I’m in the late stage of the game so money doesn’t go as far anymore). That said, it can be money hungry at times with the abundance of available in-app purchases; I can ignore those if I don’t want them though. There are 2 things holding me back from giving 5 stars. Firstly, the AI of the park visitors needs to be improved. Visitors often become stuck behind objects in smaller areas which doesn’t allow me to maximize space, they sometimes drift away from paths or near the exit they stray far away from the park proper, and hungry or nauseous visitors sometimes ignore food stands, rest areas, or bathrooms. Secondly, since the newest update, individual attractions and shops don’t display income properly when I’m viewing them. The park report contains accurate information, but individual rides and shops say they’re making far less than would account for the 3M/m the park makes. The park gate and gift shop wouldn’t account for the remainder either.

Pretty good - kinda cash grabby

The game itself isn’t something that you could play for longer than 10-15 minutes at a time. Personally I played it for about 10 every other day or morning and night. It’s not bad, the concept is good but there are some pay walls that make it significantly more difficult to progress in the game. The first one is rides: in order to get rides you need “cards” these cards are only obtainable through opening chests (opening chests that give you cards require you to watch an ad or playing and doing well enough on a separate park only open for 2 days -theme parks- with extreme disadvantages to most likely push you to spend actual money on perks) at your park or paying real currency at about 5 dollars. (You need rides it’s non-negotiable it’s the whole point of the game). The ads aren’t that bad and there aren’t random ones that just pop up mid game like some other tycoons. Its mostly your choice whether or not you watch the ads but it’s also kinda impossible to get anywhere if you don’t? Oh it also seems like a lot of creative effort went into making this one. There are some interesting rides, the graphics are nice, and the overall gameplay is pretty good.

Spent $100 on this

As the title says, I’ve spent $100 in game and it’s disappointing to say the least. At first I was having fun, but then it quickly shows how the devs abandoned this game. First, the bugs. Where to begin? Maybe with the daily quests asking you to build rides you’ve already built.. What a quick fix to add different challenges if the ride has already been built.. I had to find out from a Reddit post that this has been an issue FOR YEARS! Why?! Because devs stopped caring. As long as money is coming in, ef updates am I right?.. Next, the “tournaments”. They’re just bots. And take it from someone who’s already unlocked all the rides AND maxed them out.. to reach max tournament level you need to practically have 8 rides maxed out or you’ll never get to the last prize. ESPECIALLY if you don’t BUY the x3 boost for $5 more.. Third, the “updates”. If you check their version history, they copy and paste the same “updates” they did YEARS ago. There’s no new update. Nothing that says what was changed or fixed. I’m officially done with this game until they start showing care to it. No reason to spend more when devs don’t gaf anymore, so why should I?

Good, but…

So I downloaded this game a few months ago and it have definitely kept me occupied, that being said here are a few things I can’t seem to get around: the empty spaces where a ride should be they all cost $5 or $6 for a SUNGLE RIDE! The space reserved for inviting friends to join, I’ve been inviting friends and making sure they cross all the Ts and I still won’t get the reward, after contacting support multiple times they tell me that every person that downloaded the game because of me “didn’t meet the requirements” (allow all tracking, cookies, no VPN when downloading, and of course, complete the tutorial) Also, there’s a secondary park that appears temporarily as a sort of promotion, but it never gives you enough time to actually make any progress in that park, they are always set to a day or two, and you can’t earn enough money in that amount of time to make any real progress. Not t mention, your “thanks for participating reward” NEVER actually makes it to my account. It will pop up and say thanks for playing here’s your rewards and when I press okay, there’s no money to be seen for it. Just seems like a pretty effective time wasting scam to me :/

LOVE this game!

I found myself loving this game and getting very into but it’s kinda came to a halt because there hasn’t been any new updates so i’m stuck where i’m at until new things are added. Which is really sad because it’s a great tycoon game, i love the way it’s set up and it’s not overly complicated. Please make some more updates!! adding to my previous review: the last two years of reviews say the same thing, new park added bring a sweater. there’s other parks it looks like on the world map, i don’t know why adding new parks seemed to stop completely. i loved this game and would’ve kept playing but like i said in my previous review above, my play through has come to a halt, becomes kinda boring and redundant so i end up deleting and when i see in top ten or some other list in the app store i get excited thinking “oo maybe they added a new park” nope. guess money is paid to get on app store lists/promotions rather than adding into the game, continuing to expand it and make it actually playable for the players that have been here since day 1.
