Community Insight:
When we bought no ads we left the game after a few minutes we checked and we had to watch ads still and Im very sad now so please fix it.
We love this game we play this nonstop we just dont like well we dont dislike anything there is no problem for this game it is a 5 out of 5 and nothing can change our opinion.
The game is cool and all and we wanna make it better by helping u make more characters and more stages.
We have over 8.00 Q and it wont let us buy the Maldives festival.
Like others we spent some money to play and get the game moving. App support is very quick and helpful if you have problems when you pay for something. The game doesnt move quickly enough without spending money though. Too much time needing to idle and no fun without waiting for money to accumulate. We still play now and then but not going to spend more and more money just to upgrade a fake gaming festival. Go open a real music festival yourself, you get a return rather than wasting money.
Stop shoving tutorial down our throats and let us play the game.
When you first start up the game it has a popup window that says theres a setting to turn off in-app purchases, but guess what, they lied. Now we have these annoying icons and pop ups flooding our screen >:(((.
Just downloaded yesterday and dealing with major bugs! Cant load almost every time we open the app, get stuck on the screen when taking us to build we cant click on the money yes when we have enough and showing green. Its a shame too as we wanted to really like this game. When playing tycoon games this is what we enjoy. Please help.
Definitely our new favorite game! Keep the updates coming.
Game was working great then when we tried to get into the game its stuck on the loading screen and wont open. Not sure why its doing this Update had some issue with game center when we were able to turn Game Center off and back on everything started to work again.
Great game except the camping area doesnt work :/.
Take some time to read the other reviews, because the app is full of bugs. We wish we wouldve before we spent money on the app. We really enjoyed the game for a while, so we ended up spending spending around $30 (tax) buying the ads free, double income, and offline revenue managers. We get that bugs happen, but the developer has acknowledged the issues in their responses and they continue to offer in-app purchases that are affected by these bugs. These bugs affect how the in-app purchases perform, so we find this very concerning. Here are just a few of the issues Ive experienced with this app: – The camp grounds generate literally zero revenue for you. Id say dont waste your in-app/game money, but they cleverly require you to update it if you want to complete tasks. We only have 3 locations left in the game, and the camp grounds have not generated a penny since the first location. We have confirmed this by tracking VIP offers, as they dont increase, even after restarting the app. – Speaking of restarting the app, if use crystals (another in-game currency) to buy packs of cards, make sure you restart the app after upgrading the cards. If not, your stats stay the same and therefore your income VIP offers stay the same. – The biggest issue that we have found is that the offline in-game revenue is not accurate whatsoever. For example, we force closed the app 6 minutes ago when we started the review. We just re-opened the app, and our offline earnings were a little over $9B. But according to the stats portion of the game, we should be making $6.6B/minute. This number makes sense when we keep the app open. This really bothers us as one of the in-app purchases we made was to keep generating revenue while we were offline. There are many other issues and bugs with the game, but Im tired of typing. This game should be a beta release, at best. And they shouldnt be charging people for in-app purchases that dont work.
Issues we have with this game is the bathrooms, food court and camping area. None of them work and Im not making money off of them. Ive seen other complaints about this but the developers still havent gotten around to fixing the issues so Im going to just delete the game. Thankfully we didnt spend any money.
We are having fun with the game but the camping area doesnt seem to work? We make no money off of it at all. Also the food court, people stop entering after a while.
First Id like to say that this game has a lot of potential, Id like to start by naming some bugs. 1. After level 500 on the food court the customers just stop entering the store so we lose out on a lot of money there. 2. When buying upgrades on the front gates we can hold down the top one and also the second one at the same time itll auto buy all the second ones from level 1-100 without it taking any money from us and we can also do it with the 3,4,& 5 ones. 3. Im not sure if this is a bug or not but, with the camping ground area we feel like we dont get any money at all with it and since its one 1/min its very slow. 4. Toilets we think after level 25 or level 50 you should be able to buy a 2nd toilet station cause their are so many customers they all seem to get that sick emoji over their heads. Thank you for reading this game devs love the game so far so Id figure Id write this to get the game fixed and working great! Already spent $20 on the game and can see ourselves spending more once the game gets fixed from these bugs! Already on the 4th music festival on day 2.
Id love to have tried out your game but since it wont even load we cant. Simply crashes. We wouldnt waste our time downloading this.
Really wanted to play but wont load.
We love this game up it needs an update. We already completed the game and have been waiting for more levels.
We would LOVE this game if it didnt have so many bugs. We 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.
Im enjoying this game a lot but its easy to finish all the cities within a short time , and now Im just waiting and hoping they add more cities and objectives to the game.
We enjoyed the game and the progression over the past few weeks. We loved the art work into all the art work on the upgrade of the buildings but Im sad now because we reached the END! We neeed more cities to tour and to expand and more buildings! This game was addicting and had us falling asleep every night watching it before going to bed making sure we 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 we hope to see more expansions on it.
Only fun for a few days until you run out of content. Which then it gets super boring.
Ive enjoyed playing this game! We never buy the in app options but we felt like it was worth it this time. We only rate it lower than expected because theres no where to go after the Maldives level. Another downside was the layout remained the same throughout the whole game. We wish there would have been a way to place things on your own like the original tycoon games. Hopefully theres more to come with this game.
You guys copied Idle Theme Park. Little to no originality and terrible graphics. Such a disappointment youre lucky you receive decent reviews and people are oblivious to how you steal ideas.
Evident from this game that not one person on the dev team has ever been to a music festival.
The game was really fun the first day. During the second day the videos would crash the game. Later on, it wouldnt open at all. We even deleted the game and downloaded it again. It wont open. Dont waste your time on a game that will inevitably crash.
Im a big fan of idle games and really enjoyed this one. However it just took a little over a week to fully complete. Hopefully theres more content on the way – or a new game in the works from the devs.
We just finished this game. Its 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. Its not worth paying $10 for a game that takes a week to finish. Three stars because we work in the industry and its a meme.
This game was really a lot of fun, however we ran across an issue where the game wont 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 doesnt help either. The only solution that Ive found (and even then this solution only works half of the time) is the completely restart our phone. Aside from that, we just have to wait. This has happened several times where it outweighs how fun the game is. Cant really enjoy a game that has issues loading.
Im enjoying the game even though its a simple concept. The graphics are fun and the playability is easy enough. Unfortunately Im running into several bugs so far. We 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 our money is still gone. We even bought the water slide attraction and came back to the game and had to repurchase it as well as upgrade our camp site again. Aside from the frustrating bugs we do recommend the game if you can look passed them.
The game was somewhat fun, but its 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. Its not a bad game, its just lacking. We also want to mention that having Burning Man in there is a bit insulting as its not a festival and you shouldnt be using its likeness for commercial purposes. Even if youre using a generic title for it, its obvious what it is and you may want to change that level since its a violation of IP, unless Ofc you have permission, but thats very unlikely.
This game is very fun when it works. We got to the 3rd location and now our app will not open at all.
We had a great time playing this game for the first night. When we went back the next day to check on our stuff and collect our money, the game would not open. We tried everything. Restarting the app, power cycling our phone, couldnt think of anything else to try. We thought, ok maybe this is a weird one time glitch. We deleted the app and reinstalled, which deleted all our progress. Thankfully we hadnt gotten that far the first time around. Well 2 days into download #2 the exact same thing happens. Game/app will not load when we open it.
Great game!! Does have some goofy bugs (e.g., campground makes barely any money), but Ive pretty much maxed out everything in the game. Please add more content and areas to move on to.
Simply put, we were 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.
We like this game we really do we even paid $10 to remove adds. If we are paying $10 to remove adds that should also remove your adds. There are constant blinking and flashing buttons asking us to buy more and more and we cant get the off the screen! It makes the game painful to look at like a bad slot machine. This is a case of prioritizing monetization so far ahead of game play that it ruins what could of been a fun game.
Im currently maxed out on levels and rides. The only thing we can upgrade is the bathroom and it had like astronomically high prices to do so at this point where Im at.
We love this game and we finished it but we wish there would be more places to go.
Paid for no ads to get the game moving. Good purchase. Although we wish each location had different styles such as new looking stage, new food vendors etc. Its great when you open a new location but not to start everything over.
Wish you could set the festival lineups with fake artists. Wish different locations had a variety of different layouts.
Ads keep glitching. When we watch an ad for money, it doesnt give us the reward and we have to watch a second ad to get it. When Im on level 1400, it tells us Im upgrading to level 1250. And we dont like that when we open the game there are no cars in the parking lot. UPDATE: now we need to delete it. Im watching ad after ad trying to get 1Q because thats the only way to get enough money to make it to the next location. We had over $500 trillion and left the game for 10 minutes. When we came back we had 300 Trillion. This is ridiculous. This game is nothing but a time sucker and it takes your progress away.
We want to start by saying this game is fun! It's been keeping us entertained lately and continues to do so. We love the sense of discovery as you level up and find new things, and starting over with an income boost is great! That being said, we noticed a few bugs that really hurt the experience. 1. Sometimes the queue upgrades just don't work. As an example, you can upgrade the food stands, but then it just keeps resetting to the base level of 4 until you upgrade the queue to a certain level, then it actually sticks. His happens with other queues too, however. 2. The math is way off when you hit upgrade levels. We understand why the price goes up to cross a threshold, but on, say, level 700 we're supposed to get a 700% profit boost. Instead, it simply doubles. You could make the case it's a boost of 700% of the base income… But that doesn't actually add up to double every time either. Somewhere in the code the math is way off the mark. 3. When people are supposed to leave, sometimes they instead just walk off the edge of the screen and leave their car behind, ultimately leaving massive amounts of parking spaces that never empty. We noticed this around the time we unlocked Ibiza, and they walked off the area where the new stage would go. There is a chance this might have happened sooner without our noticing. If these bugs were fixed, this game would definitely be worthy of a 5 star rating.
Its a fun game. But super easy to finish. Youll be looking for another game after a month.
In other games like these, early set up goes fast but here, it takes to long and we dont feel like buying thins in-app just to have fun. Sorry for the bad review its just we like idle games but we 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.
We purchased the no ad option and now the game doesnt work. The email address they give to contact them doesnt work either! Dont get scammed like we did, DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS GAME.
We really enjoy playing this game its fun to see the different appearances that each attraction has would definitely recommend wish there would be more festival places to go too.
Ive maxed everything out and have nothing left to do, waiting on more content.
Please add a daytime to nighttime change.
First off Ill start by saying the game can be entertaining at times. But that quickly comes to end when you purchase the no ads, instantly getting rewards, from that point on there is not challenge to the game, now its just a waiting game for the guy to bring you money or toy accumulate money over time. Secondly the missions in the game are broken, broken how? Well you the max level for buildings is 1500 Im now stuck on all three missions being to upgrade our buildings to 2000…. So cant finish the missions. We contacted support and guess what… No answer. So we played the game to Maldives, and now have nothing else to do. So will be deleting the app. Shame that it could have been so much better if they actually finished it.
Its a really fun game if you know how too mange a tycoon 5Stars.
