Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We bought all the episodes but its been several hours and the purchase hasnt been recognized and we cant play them Edit: Apparently we figured the issue out a good couple days ago by hitting the purchase episodes button again and it recognized we already had and went into effect! But thank you to the developers for replying! Managed to play through the entire game and we were in love with the story and gameplay.
We Love This Game So So Much This Game have so much excitement and fun we play every one of the Game house game play continue making more games because we Truly Enjoy Them All And Can You Please Make Some More Emily Games Because we Played Them All And we Love The Emily Games So make Some More For us Please Thank You Very Much.
Another great game very interactive and great challenges. Keep it up.
Fun game as always. Just as a side note, we do especially like the background music from level 11-20. It might not be important to some people, but since the music is repeated in a loop, makes it a better gaming experience when its good.
So happy that weve gone back to the original format despite the disastrous last Hearsts Hospital fiasco-thanks for going back to your original monetization strategy! The storyline is interesting and we like to be able to make choices affecting the storyline. Please keep making great games like this.
Very excited this latest game is back to the regular game play where we can just buy the game outright instead of having to purchase coins to play. This format is what makes your games so fun and easy to play.
We truly love this game we useually NEVER write reviews but this game is AWESOME. We only have one question when you get your second pet how do we give it a bed? Because on our first pet we can give it a bed and other stuff but our second one we dont know how to give it a bed or can you just not give it one at all? BUT eathier way this game is SUPER addicting. Best GameHouse game ever. ( at least in our opinion!).
THANK YOU for bringing back the game play we all have grown to love. We are now going to sit down and play this new game, like we have in the past, obsessively.
Just what we Love about all the games we purchase from Gamehouse. Everyone is great except the last hospital game. This one just as great as all of the Pet Cares series. We Love it. We dont want to play a subscription,we just want to buy we game and play it when we want. With great graphics and storyline it is all just the way it is suppose to be.
Im very thankful that you returned this game back into original games you guys offered Overall love the game.
This is back to the level of superiority we have come to expect from Gamehouse games! Adorable characters & storyline, one price play-all-you-want, no glitches or crashes, and no ridiculously hard levels! Just plain fun and a great way to destress from life in general! P.S. When are you going to make the first three Emily games compatible with current ios levels? Those two are favorites! We did spend $30 on them.
Im relieved this games isnt as complicated and filled with in app purchases. Dont fix what isnt broken.
We were sooo relieved to see that this new Dr. Cares game was back to your original Pay Once and play format! We were really sad to miss out on the last Allison game because we refuse to play freemium money grab games anymore. When we read the reviews that there were energy bar s and we. App purchases we didnt even bother to download it which is sad because we dont want to miss out on the characters stories. We love our pay once gamehouse games because we can play them over and over with no energy bars or constant in app purchases or having to watch ads. As one other review mentioned, we play these games for relaxing, ads and in app purchases and energy bars are not relaxing. Also we are So Glad that you included the Difficulty Settings! We hope you will keep these in the games for good from now on. They make the games fun and playable for everyone of all ability levels. This is the kind of stuff that makes a Gamehouse game the premium games they are. Great characters, cute and colorful art and locations, positive exciting and amusing storylines, fun mini games, difficulty settings, pay ONCE and play forever, excellent replay value. Please keep up the great work. We just started playing this one and Im already hooked! It looks like a winner.
Love this game. Id rather pay $9.99 to get all the levels. We hate waiting on energy supplies to refill. We would highly suggest this game.
Now this is what we have been missing! We have been playing the GameHouse Delicious series and Original Stories for years and have loved many of the game but the last few have not lived up to the quality that we know GameHouse is capable of. This game brings back the original format and automatically improves the quality of the game. Now this is worth spending the money on. We hope all the upcoming games stick with this format.
Thank you for going back to Gamehouse standards! Loving it.
Seems like an escape from the real world! Games like Emily that make us sooooo happy.
Thank you so much for going back to your original format. Im so glad this is not a free play game like the last one. Love it.
Im so glad this new one is back to normal!!! Love it so far.
Now this is the GameHouse quality that Ive always known!! Love Boat 2 & Julies Sweets were TERRIBLE!! PLEASE dont partner up with other companies if thats going to be the outcome!! Im still on the first area however, so far there are no problems. Great quality, smooth play!! Im loving it so far.
Finally a quality game! This one has a great story line with options to pick where the story goes! We dont know how many people are out there with a similar mindset like ours, but we play these games to relax after a long 12 hour shift. We despise the free to play games because the last thing we want is to watch ads while trying to unwind. Those games arent worth it, but this one is great! It also comes WITHOUT the dreaded more customers button! It has been glitch free for us so far and has a great story line! The replay ability is there, so we consider it a great buy. Yes, we said a great buy because you can purchase the whole game! Keep up the great work!! Highly recommended.
Yes Im so excited for this one. The map is the same style were used to and same gameplay!! Thank you gamehouse for this one and keeping it to your original style that everyone loves.
We cant get the in app purchases to load! What do we do.
THIS is the Gamehouse we know and love and Im sure other fans are relieved after the nonsense of The Love Boat and the insulting last installment of Hearts Medicine. We loved the idea of being able to pick your storyline, thats a fun new idea that doesnt deviate too far from what we love about GH games. We do feel like the games are getting way too easy, even on expert. We played back through some of the old Delicious games and some levels had us playing through a bunch of times before getting 3 stars. We miss the challenge.
Will this game eventually come with option to play free with ads?its great so far.
We love this game. Im not finding the mouses. Overall great game.
We were so excited that there was a new dr cares game we played both of the other ones and we did not have to pay for them… This one you get through the first chapter and you HAVE to pay if you want to keep playing why cant it be like the other games? We dont have money to blow on a game.
We purchased the monthly package and Im unable to play the entire game. It only allows us to play the first 10 levels. Can you explain why.
Ive been a loyal fan and have enjoyed almost all your games (apart from the last hospital one). We would easily give this a 5 star rating again, and would have no trouble paying $9.99 or $19.99 period! Then we own the game. With GH one would get quality games. But no, it seems like GH has gotten greedy, which is sad. Now we have SUBSCRIBE to the game. Which completely ruins the replay value…. We as loyal customers never own the game, we have to remember to UNSUBSCRIBE unless we want our account to get drained. We know its a trend in the gaming industry, to have customers subscribe to a game, but who do you really have in mind then? The customer or your profit? And please dont give us one of your standardized answers. Done with you.
We are crushed we must say we are incredibly disappointed that you folks did not make another one. It even stated that all the characters would be back at the end of this one?!?? Its not too late PLEASE consider following up with more. Just like Emily and Angela we think many of us that have been playing these games since the very start would LOVE to have Dr. Cares back!!! Whats not to like?!?? All the characters are so lovable. Just like Emily. Decided to play all three of these all over again.
We have just replayed all 3 and am wondering if they will ever return. Its been 7 years already. Hopefully there will be more.
Ive spent the past week playing all the doctor cares games. They are just amazing. The levels are easy nothing too hard, we love the change of scenery every couple games. The storyline is AMAZING!!! But the cliffhanger. We need more Im addicted.
This game is so much fun but we want the game to be like where you watch and ad and get the level for free, thank you.
We loved this game! We hoped that there will be more and at the end looks like there will be! Hopefully they will make more. Love this game.
For this game, we rate this 5 stars with all the graphics, sound, music, and storyline that fits for Dr. Cares when we got the best ending. We cant wait to see how Amy, Jack and Newton storyline will continue with vets and pre-wedding choices! Best of all, its perfect for veterinarians.
It is very nice and we like it very much.
Enjoyed the journey so much, we have added two additional games.
Its so fun and entertaining we have it on on all our device it is just the best.
Dr Cares is our favorite out of all of the gamehouse games! For the next one you guys should definitely do safari/wild animals please develop more Dr Cares.
This game is a 10 out of 10 because it is fun and you can learn a thing or two.
L got the game few days ago we already beat it. So many adddddddds when we try to play a level or when we beat a level. Good story good game.
Love this game and hope that that make more of the dr.care ones.
We love playing this game, keeps you interested and story line is great and suitable for all ages, we like the fact you have choices of decisions to make we encourage people to purchase the monthly subscription you get all the games plus more, its well worth the money if you like these kinds of games, Im really happy that we did.
We loved the new choices! The only thing is that in order to get all of the trophies, getting the pets to level 10 took way longer after we were on the last spot. It made us forget what all had happened. Thank you so much for the cute, always sentimental, caring writing. We love all of your games. Hope theres a new one soon.
This game has it all, storyline, main game, mini games within the game and goals. 10/10.
This game is our favorite we finished it in like three days we couldnt stop playing it! So well done and so many twist and turns we enjoyed every minute of it! Hurry up and make another one soon please we need to know what happens next.
We have played this all the Dr.cares and they are just awesome and super addicting.There are a few glitches but you wont really notice them. We also love how its not one of the games you have to make in-app purchases just to play the second part of the game! Its super great and you wont be disappointed we really want them to make more of these.
Love playing. We spend lots of time. Cant walk much because of leg problems so we enjoy the games.
We love animals,This game and game house. The story line and animals keep up the good work.
We have been looking for a quality game that is fun teaches something but has a bit of drama and you control the game. You dont just play the game you are the reason that certain things happen. This game is perfect.
