Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We love every game house games. Definitely worth the subscription.
But we keep getting kicked off when we're almost finished with the ticket 30 ticket one getting aggrivated.
We truly enjoyed play Maggie's movies. We love going to the cinema and we also had a special relationship with our beloved grandfather. This brought back a lot of good memories. Sincerely, A fan for life (AFFL).
Love the game. Great way to kill time. No bugs no glitches.
So addictive. Can't put it down.
We don't know why everyone is complaining so much! It's fun.
This is a fun game, we hope Maggie has a sequel.
We love this game – different from all the others.
This is a really great game, we really love it.. Lots of fun.
Maggie has very spirited gifts and very bright sided and very sarcastic.
We like this game – but ………. Emily's still our favorite. Would like the old games fixed so we can play them on our iPad Pro.
This is a fun game we really love it.
We buy all the GameHouse time management games–but we haven't loved one this much since Mary le Chef. We like the characters, we like the storyline, we like the fact that you can select the difficulty levels (unlike the last Emily game)–there's nothing we dislike. We haven't experienced any issues with blurriness or crashing, and we're playing on an iPhone 5s, under IOS 9. Something. We think the artwork is adorable–we're not sure why people are complaining about it. And the price is fantastic for all the levels that we get. The only tiny problem is that sometimes the top line in the dialog balloons get cut off. Again, we're playing on an iPhone 5s, so that may be the reason. We highly recommend this game.
Thank you keep them coming. Love these games.
Running slow, a couple of glitches. Love the game.
We have always enjoyed games of this nature and this is perfect new one that has keep us glued to the screen so all in all wonderful.
We love this game. Everything works and its interesting.
Good game but graphics not as good as previous games.
It doesn't have the feel of other time management games where even without sound, there is sort of a pop as you gather and deliver items. The first few levels were very easy, but it seems to be getting more difficult. We are playing on a beginner level while we learn.
We like this game but it is also irritating because we keep getting kicked out. Please fix this and make sure future games are better tested before releasing them. It's no fun getting kicked out and then having to wait to get back into the game. Also, loading in between scenes lagged a bit.
We just wish the graphics were a little closer to you and the volume of the game was louder. We have to have it turned up quite a bit to hear good (a lot more than other games). But the game is actually fun.
We adore all of your games. We have been purchasing your games since the beginning. Once we reach a certain level, the game shuts down. We paid $10.00 for this game and would like to finish playing. Please fix this quickly. Thanx.
We've bought and played EVERY Delicious game and the offshoots like Mary and Heart etc. And am obviously a big fan. That being said we agree with the other reviews regarding the graphics. They aren't as good. The characters look awkward and not well designed or as polished as the other games. The hair looks lumpy and weird and the coloring isn't as good and their neutral standing around poses are just odd looking. Some items are blurry looking, not very well defined and even pixelated. The opening animation was very poor in comparison to the other games, it looked old and amateurish. If you're charging the same amount, even if it's a new character, it has to be as good in the quality and gameplay and this one just isn't. We have also found three grammatical errors in the first five levels. Additionally the upgrades need to be much more attractive and noticeable. In other games the shop upgrades were very different and made the shops more interesting and prettier. Chapter one of this game (the free demo levels) has none of that. The upgrades are boring and similar to what you had already in appearance. Also the Stars turning from off white to white when you earn them might be better if they were gold or another totally different color. The white is somewhat confusing to your eye when you just look at it quickly. We're not sure how to describe it but we think it should be more visually clear when you earn a star by using a different bold color. As far as the story line goes we haven't enjoyed it so far. It's a little too over the top too early. Let us get to know the characters a little before the high drama of a raving crazy woman trying to get people fired and grandpa having a heart attack. We appreciate that gamehouse is trying to make compelling stories and characters to hook us into another game, but this feels very forced and unnatural. We can't even connect with these characters and that makes all the drama feel stressful and removes a lot of the fun factor. Go back and revisit Emily's Honeymoon for instance. There was some (funny) drama but we had such a blast playing that game, it was FUN. We couldn't wait to see what fun location and tasks where in each next area. It wasn't just the story, the settings and the unique tasks…everything was just bright and interesting and fun! Same with the family reunion. We liked Cathys crafts and Mary and the animal veterinarian ones more even because they felt more fun and upbeat early on. We're sitting here after level ten on this game dreading the heavy drama to come. We don't think we'll be buying this one. We're just not having fun and the characters didn't grab us in the first chapter at all. Also someone mentioned the sound being too low and we agree. It's hard to hear the mouse unless the volume is all the way up. Also,we agree with another comment that the chains aren't as good and the gameplay isn't as tight as it should be. On the plus side at least you guys offered the different difficulty settings back in that were missing from the last Emily game. We always enjoy being able to set the difficulty for these games as sometimes we just can't play as fast as the game demands. We also appreciate that you didn't try and make us get fb friends to send us gems etc. It feels very weird to walk away from a gamehouse Delicious gameplay style game. As we said we've bought every one of the previous games, even the very first Emily game that was only on pc years ago. This just feels like a poor knockoff for the same price. Go look at the movie theater where you earn new people for achievements. It looks terrible sadly and is a good example of what is going wrong with the graphics in this game. It is not anywhere close to the cuteness and quality of your other games. We guess we'll have to wait and see if the next one is better.
We really like Gamehouse productions but we're pretty disappointed with this series. All of the Delicious games have outstanding quality and we have no problem paying the $9.99 price for the whole game, but with how poor the graphics are on this game, we don't know if we will purchase it. It does glitch a bit for us but we expect that with a new game. Nice story line, but if you're looking for something similar to Delicious when it comes to quality, this game is not for you.
Level 59 where you have to get thirty tickets kicks us off every time. We're literally 2 levels from winning. We know others are having problems too. We spend 9.99 we expect it to have no problems. You have to do something these gamehouse games have lots of players.If you don't fix your gonna lose a lot of us it's sad.
We waited until we finished the game before writing this. First things first….you have GOT to stop the incessant begging for reviews. Every time we changed a screen, 2 pop ups asking to rate the game. Every. Single. Time. Game Content: underwhelming. The potential is there. We like the movie based storyline. The problem is the repetitive locations. In most other Gamehouse games you switch locations; whether it's a hospital department, restaurant, a pet store to a pet rescue etc. The movie sets in this one were pretty much the same; and you're in the theater 3 times (if you count the bonus levels.) Changing up the food or products you serve isn't enough to make the exact same location interesting. If we had to do it over again we would not have spent the $9.99.
We've have played all the delicious games and we absolutely love them. This one, we don't really like that much. The graphics seem old fashion and we're not loving the characters either. Its disappointing.
Honestly we love the GameHouse games (especially the Delicious series) and after having the new delicious come out with such quality, this game just seems sad. The story is nice however, but the characters look weird and it doesn't appear the game is finished. Things could be more detailed instead of blurry and it could be a better quality. We usually LOVE GameHouse games but this one feels like we went back in time to their older quality games.
Was very disappointed that there were so few levels for the price of this game. We love the Emily games and thought this game would have as many levels as those other games. This cost the same but only had two locations! The Emily games had 6! We feel a bit ripped off.
We love the Delicious time management games and was happy to see spin offs, but the quality has been going down with each release, stories have felt very same-y, very formulaic, even the Emily story, sadly. This is not a game we would pay $9.99 for, the graphics are terrible and even the way the game functions are very basic, chains don't work as well as they should. Extremely disappointed. Spend more time on these games, make them worth the money you want us to pay for them.
We were only able to get to level 8 and there after whenever we opened the game it automatically shut down and when we tried to restart it says loading and forcibly stops.
Another fun and entertaining time management game in the Emily, Sally, etc. Series. We're enjoying it.
Level 20 in Maggies Silent Film Festival, doesnt work properly. It doesnt pick up things that you click or puts them on your tray but its delayed. Other than that its great. Looking forward to more, we love how difficult it is. The Emily games we love but they were too easy for us, even on difficult.
We usually love Gamehouse games but this one is awful! The way its formatted part of the screen is hidden on the iPhone XR so you have no idea what the customers are ordering so you cant pass levels. Its very frustrating that Im paying for something we cant play.
Really enjoyed the game, but like all Gamehouse games, it was too short. Its been out for at least a year, so where is the next installment? We need to get more of the story. Maggie has not gotten her true love interest yet. Hurry up.
Definitely a bit more challenging than some other Game House games, but very fun! We highly recommend.
We love this game, we love the theme, please make more.
The smoothest Time Management Game we have ever played!!! Unlike some of the other GameHouse games… We never had to click on an item more than once… The transition was great… Just loved it overall!!! The Story is so true to Lifes ups and downs. Very well thought out. We LOVE Emily and Alison. Maggie was a delight as well. Thank you for making this game. Great Job! PLEASE make a sequel!!! We cant wait.
Great game just wish the graphics were better.
We love it but we want all levels free.
Why is this not in the gamehouse app? Is there no more to her story? We enjoyed this one a lot.
Love it! We love each and everyone of these games. We honestly think their our favorite games Ive ever played. Thank you for being a part of our life and giving us something to do and look forward to each day. Your all awesome.
We love this game we cant get enough of it this one games we are a big fan we have mostly all the game we buy them all only two we did not buy is the new one thats out now and the love boat.
We highly recommend this game we dont think it needs any fixes and you get to name your character.
Ive played most of Gamehouse games. This one may be the best yet, great storyline, great graphics, great play, great originality, (we get sick of cooking games after a while!), and we loved it.
We actually liked playing this game a lot. It had its challenges, but we still found it entertaining and fun. It was a nice change of pace and we liked how we got to play Maggie and Diego when they were younger. We hope theres another Maggies Movies released in the future. Some of the levels we had to play a few times to get all stars, but thats the point, right? A game thats fun, challenging, and not so easy to where we all just speed through it and feel like its $9.99 wasted. So, we personally liked it and would play it again.
This is a lot of fun. We replay until we get everything.
We love all of these games. Angela Games and Emily Games tend to be our favorites. We really have enjoyed playing this game. We like when we are challenged. We have had to play several levels many times to get the three star rating (on the normal setting). We like the story line and the main character. It was worth the money and we are almost done with the game and have not encountered any bugs.
Great game just think needs 1 or 2 bug fixes.
