Vacation Tycoon for Negative User Reviews
✓ Just a add mining game.Honestly feels at this point like you guys are just trying to come up with ways to get people to watch more adds. Game is not nearly as good as your others..Version: 2.0.0
✓ Pay 2 Win to the MaxIn all games like this I played. This one is the one which is just forcing you to pay. You’re completely starved with gems to upgrade your managers. They give you 5 per chest and it cost 400 at level. Other games give you 5 per chest and to level to 2 it’s 100 than 200, 400, 800. While this game is 400, 800… Also other game scale the amount of upgrade you get. Events also use the same managers so not everyone start at 0 and have a chance to compete. You might starve with cards but here you starve with both and they promote their whales. Go play Airport Billionair it’s this but better..Version: 1.5.0
✓ Change of directionHyper hippo had my attention for years. Their last 3 games had me playing to completion. This game seems like a ramp up in difficulty as a shameless cash grab, with abandon to the mechanics that allowed players to progress as in adAdventure and adCommunist. Costs ramped up for upgrades and rewards decreased making it unappealing to come back. I hope these things will be brought up in the community, and in turn the developers, to head towards the model that brought them the audience (or at least me) that kept playing for the last 4+ years.Version: 2.0.0
✓ Isn’t saving my progressWhenever I close the game completely no matter how far I got it takes me back to the beginning of season 7.Version: 1.7.0
✓ No where to change languageIt can’t change language.Version: 1.6.0
✓ FrozeDownloaded this game today, worked great, then closed out, came back later and now it’s froze, closed out of the game, and restarted the phone same issue, even uninstalled and reinstalled, game loads up back to where my my progress was and continues to be frozen….Version: 1.0.0
✓ Broken at best.I have an iPhone 8 and have no issues running any other apps on my phone, except this one. It can take up to 5 minutes to load then will freeze on the loading screen I have to close and re open the app a few times just for it to fully load and to be able to play the game. The game is not balanced especially with events and I’m familiar with the way events are supposed to go I’ve played almost every game from this developer and this one is the only one with severe pay to play mechanics. I’ve been on one season for almost two days waiting hours for money to build up just to upgrade a vendor once. I’ll even have the multiplier active and it doesn’t seem to make a difference. I’ve opened at least 3 dozen chests and I’ve only been able to upgrade a manager once. I’m not buying anything for a game that I feel like purposely puts me at a standstill for days. It’s trash that people care more about profits than a working and playable game. It’s the Blizzard styled company of mobile games..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Could be fun, but too greedy!The balance in this game is good. Unlike similar games, you won’t end up with managers that aren’t high enough level to automate things (at least, not as far as I’ve got so far). HOWEVER, the greed around ads is insane. You can remove ads for $5 PER WEEK. That’s just stupid. Especially when you consider that watching an ad after clicking a blimp only gives you 60 SECONDS worth of earnings, and that’s after watching a “short video” of 30-45 seconds. No thanks! I NEVER watch those ads. They’re just not worth it. It should 30 minutes of earnings for watching the ad. Or least 10-15. Not 1. There are also a ton of bugs. Be prepared to force quit and relaunch the game often to get it working again. Timers stop working, people stay on the boat while buildings sit empty, waiting for customers, after watching an ad you‘ll get an error saying you need to try again (90 seconds of ad watching for 60 seconds of rewards? Hahahahah, no)..Version: 2.4.0
✓ Why can’t you hard reset the gameI just logged on to ask why this has changed for the Kongregate games?.Version: 1.5.0
✓ Interesting idea but better idle games out thereWanted to try Hippo new approach to idle and while at first it seems less predatory/gambling than Communist and Ages, it got very slow way too fast and was asking for an unreasonable amount of gems to complete all level missions. A lot of ads pushing too to progress. Uninstalled the next day and spent time on other idle games instead..Version: 2.5.0
✓ Stupid tutorials. Just let me play.I wish it didnt have the stupid tutorial. I like to play the way I want to not being forced to uprgade things or buy things That I dont want to do yet..Version: 2.3.0
✓ Resets progressEvery time I make progress in this game I’ll leave it when I’m done playing only to come back to my progress being reset back to the tutorial. I’ve only made it up to season 11 twice before it resets my progress. NOT WORTH MY TIME..Version: 1.7.0
✓ This game is a cash grabThe games progress is severely slow compared to the other games from this developer and it’s all for money, they want you to pay for all the extras to make any real progress in the game Managers are way too hard to acquire unless you pay and some of the challenges required to progress in events and level require you to use items purchased with gems Huge disappointment and I feel like this game will die off fast no enjoyment whatsoever just a lazy revamp of their old games that is horrible to play.Version: 2.4.0
✓ It’s like the old games, but worseI know these games aren’t made for free but there needs to be a balance between fun and finding every little way to milk the customers. Instead of unlocking a manager when you get their card, now you have to get multiples of that card to first unlock them. Also, they stop working if you don’t get more cards to upgrade. They might stop working too just as part of the “story.” Surprise! That thing you invested in is just fine now. Find a new one! Instead of getting cards for watching an ad, you get one card for watching three ads. But you can pay to go ad free, buuut you have to pay every week as there’s no permanent option like most every other game. Then there are the random manager abilities. There’s no timer, so they appear at random and as fas as I can tell get you a tiny amount of money. Except, for the conga line, which is the one interesting aspect I saw. Oh yeah, and it doesn’t matter how much you upgrade that boat, because only a few customers disembark at a time. The whole experience feels so slapped together like the team suddenly had a deadline for a new game. Hopefully you’ll get a few people willing to invest in this thing but I’ll stick with your older games..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Needs major workI usually love hyper hippo games but this game is broken. Good luck making any progress in events. I deleted this within a week and I regret the time wasted with this game.Version: 2.0.0
✓ Was fun then notI like the game. Should not be looking at 6 months RL time to get from level 26-27. I know idlers are dependent on cash perks. Some of the fun is enticing those who would not spend. Also. 6 months without cash? Seriously.Version: 2.4.0
✓ Can’t get past season 5I enjoyed the game until I reached season 5 where it tells me to press a button and after I press it I can’t do anything else with the game please fix this.Version: 2.4.0
✓ Excitement turned bitterI’ve been a fan of hyper hippo since ad cap came out on steam, and its one of the few game publishers I actually look forward to new releases from since they actually try to do new and interesting things with their games without pressuring you to pay. Or rather they used to. When I first opened the game I was delighted by the new format, the new features and especially the disability rep. But then I started hitting ad walls something that I simply do not expect from hh. Then when I went to look for the remove ads option I was horrified to discover it’s a WEEKLY subscription fee. Plus they modified events to use the same cards as the base game so how well you can do in events is tied to the base game. Or at least it pretends to as the events also seem to scale with how strong your cards already are so they don’t actually get easier as you improve. I keep find myself wanting to play the game only to close it when I remember that I got stuck on ad watches. Ad watches should always be optional. Simply making it a task goal rather than popping it up in your face doesn’t make it less forced. Overall a real disappointment from a studio I’ve loved for years hopefully they get their act together next game.Version: 2.4.0
✓ Not a lot to do.I want to like this game. I really do. Problem is, it’s hard to. After playing the first day, it quickly becomes a: wait-until-the-next-day game. The challenges in order to advance quickly become impossible, unless you want to use real money, the challenges don’t make sense, and it’s really hard to get cards, upgrade characters, and there really doesn’t seem to be a point to the game. The events are also frustrating. There isn’t clear goals, and the ones that exist are nearly impossible to achieve. Definitely isn’t in the same league as Adventure Capitalist or Adventure Communists..Version: 2.0.0
✓ “watch ads”-to-playFirst session is cool, but after that, sessions are very short and all you can do is watch ads. And you just repeat the same actions over and over (nothing changes when you switch location) Feel of progression is lacking. My season number change but… and i have no feeling towards my manager cards, i get some, upgrade them, gets assigned automatically, very mechanical.Version: 1.7.0
✓ Maybe it’s too newThe game progress is stuck and can’t click anywhere. The game is running behind the greyed out screen and can’t click anywhere else..Version: 2.4.0
✓ Won’t even load past the title page.Downloaded it after enjoying their other games but can’t even open this one. Accept the terms and conditions and then it just sits on the loading islands screen..Version: 2.2.0
✓ Kind of unbalancedThe progression on this game is so weird and slow..Version: 2.0.0
✓ The game softlocks meThe game softlocks me whenever I open it again, it won’t let me play. If I open the game, it forces me to the season thing, and I can’t do anything to get out of it. If you guys know how to help me, I would appreciate it, because I just wanna play the game..Version: 2.5.0
✓ Needs work, seems predatoryI love your other games and I have three major issues with progression in vacation tycoon. DISCLAIMER FOR FIRST ISSUE, there was just a update 2 hours prior to this post, so I will be starting over to see if this feels better and will edit this review if so. The first is that it feels like progression was extremely quick until season 10, I completed 1-9 in approximately an hour or two, and then I hit a HARD wall. The end of 10 and 11 so far have taken me two ish days than expected compared to how progression was from 1-9. I know that longer ranks are to be expected as you progress, I’m rank 67 in adventure ages, but the harsh rate of lengthening seems to be much more intense than in previous games. Some rebalancing of ranks 1-9 is what I’d suggest. Number 2 is the amount of cards you get for managers from task completions. I will say right now that I appreciate the difference in number of cards required for promotions compared to ages, ALTHOUGH, cards are not gathered fast enough. I’m running into issues where ranks take drastically longer to complete because the variety of cards gathered is extremely demoralizing. Adding even 1 more card to crates starting at rank 10 would feel much much better. It would make the manager swapping feel a lot better than it does now because investing in managers just for them to be swapped out makes progress worse than it was before, which also seems very anti-progress. My third issue is that the game as a whole feels predatory and very anti-player experience. Ads have always been a choice, and due to that, I chose to watch them when I wanted to and had time. Now, they’re almost mandatory to keep progressing. By this I’m talking about tasks that require 3 ads watched and the 3 ads needed to gain the card from rotation in the shop. ADS FOR A TASK IS NOT STICKING TRUE TO YOUR WHOLE AD PHILOSOPHY AND IS VERY HIPPOCRITICAL(lol). Then again I understand you have a studio to run and ads pay for content and more. I’m more okay with this than the next practice I will mention; tasks requiring you to use 5 boosts are ABSOLUTELY insane, especially in events, which have rewards based on how you place compared to others!!! Obviously people who spend will do better, that’s the nature of an incremental game with micro transactions, I’m not stupid. The issue I have is forcing players to spend 250 gems outright to complete a task. Now this may not be as bad as I think but right now it seems very predatory to me. I have only seen 1 boost in a chest and it was from a free chest. If you are going to require us to use boosts for tasks, give us more by playing the game! So basically as a summary, I would like to see balanced difficulty curve, more cards, and no forced ads or gems spent. I had respect for you guys as developers for not being greedy, but this is tainting that reputation…. Best of luck and I look forward to this being changed. This game has good potential. -long time fan.Version: 2.1.0
✓ A miss from a usually good devGame is not fun or engaging. The game just doesn’t have any grab fir attention I forced myself to play to unload co events but even those are dry require constant attention feel unrewarding and overall boring they are also really greedy like you only get one card at a time while needing quite a few to unlock a manager just very meh. Looks like they took similar games and made a less fun/engaging version of them..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Game is unplayable.Played for 10 mins then game got stuck on grey screen. Deleted and reinstalled and is still unplayable..Version: 1.0.0
✓ DownloadI tried to download the game on and off wifi. It did not work for me. Keeps saying unable to authenticate..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Can’t PlayHi, I downloaded this game when it first came out and started working fine and it stopped. It loads the island and then freezes and I can’t click on anything. The music still plays in the background. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app multiple times and still nothing. Help I want to play this game..Version: 1.1.1
✓ FreezingWas a great app until it kept telling me to tap the level icon but just keeps freezing no matter what I try to do. Other people have this issue so why isn’t it being debugged???? Actually fix the problem..Version: 2.5.0
✓ Potentially a great gameThe general gameplay is good, the refresh for failed ads is a great feature and should be implemented in all of your titles. The events however are abysmal, the same tasks repeating constantly, they are boring and no fun and the rewards are not so great, on the whole the game feels set up for pay to progress..Version: 2.3.0
✓ Annoying bug!Loved this game right up until level 11. Where it makes me tap the level icon. And freezes. Despite the usual troubleshooting..Version: 2.4.0
✓ Awesome game until you have to update it.I took my credit card off a long time ago. Now a new update for the game comes out and it is asking me to put in my payment method..Version: 1.6.0
✓ Events need work.The events are severely unbalanced and essentially impossible to progress through. They must’ve balanced the events around those who were in countries that could access the game earlier than others and gathered lots of cards to give them an advantage in events. No way for new players to catch up without whaling..Version: 2.0.0
