- [R3] Idle Hotel Empire Tycoon-Game No Updates: The overall structure of the gameplay is well thought out and entertaining. However, the app crashes constantly and the game never works due to a massive lack of updates. Codigames needs to invest time into updating the software of their apps if they want to keep people playing, because this game has serious potential. It’s a shame they haven’t taken time to keep this game running smoo
- [R12] Idle Hotel Empire Tycoon-Game Good game needs updating: The game is relaxing but not enough to do no more hotels after you do about a dozen hotel hoping for a update to the game make more hotels nothing to do
- [R66] Idle Supermarket Tycoon Events should be adjusted: I like the newest update of the game but the way they do events, it’s just poorly timed. For every two days I have to get a lot of money to get rewards and then after two days the event has ended so now I got rested for the day but then the next day, it just start the event again and I wasn’t prepared for it. Can I just not do the event during the weekdays? It’s more bet
- [R70] Idle Supermarket Tycoon Update Sucks: The new update adds hard cash time gates, just avoid, wish I hadn’t ever spent a penny on this garbage.
- [R4] Idle Hotel Empire Tycoon-Game Doesn’t work anymore: Used to love this game. Now it won’t load on any device.
- [R61] Idle Supermarket Tycoon Game bug: At the start of the game, there's a tutorial where you have to buy a stoker and carts. I did that, but right after, it immediately restarted. Now the stoker costs 2500, money isn't coming in, and I can't progress further. · translated
- [R64] Idle Supermarket Tycoon Need to fix bugs: Can’t even play the game it’s stuck on tutorial about upgrading the parking lot in the beginning of the game
- [R36] Idle Hotel Empire Tycoon-Game Fun game but crashes a lot: It’s a shame this game crashes so much. It’s so often
- [R90] Idle Supermarket Tycoon Used to be fun: I’ve had this game for awhile and at the beginning it was fun but now it’s just riddled with bugs. You can’t click on the boosts. If you try to exchange your gems for cash the game will crash and take your gems and not give you any money. It sucks cause this game was fun and they could’ve kept updating it to keep its players but now it’s just a shell of what it was.
- [R91] Idle Supermarket Tycoon Glitchy: My coins change nearly every time I log in. And I paid for the monthly event and all my tasks are impossible to achieve because they are for leveling up departments I already have maxed out. So now I can’t earn any rewards. The milestones don’t reset and all I can do at this point is wait what will take 2-5 weeks to reach 500N dollars just to reset the game. No long term thought went into
- [R6] Idle Hotel Empire Tycoon-Game Missing Diamonds: I have “purchased” diamond packs on this app on 3 separate occasions months apart and I’ve never received any of the diamonds that I’ve bought. I’m always told purchase all set and charged but then the game tells me that something went wrong with the purchase and I don’t receive the diamonds. Do not buy the diamonds!
- [R68] Idle Supermarket Tycoon PAYWALL OF DOOM: i love this game but the fact that i cannot progress without upgrading my managers is annoying. i have the pass maxed out but it isn’t enough because there is no infinite track
- [R88] Idle Supermarket Tycoon Managers ruined the game: It used to be pretty fun, you had a little bit of decision making based on which area to upgrade, progress through the levels. But with the addition of the managers, your progress is completely blocked and paywalled. Another game ruined by greed
- [R118] Idle Supermarket Tycoon Pay to play.: I ended up paying $9.99 for the no ads along with a few different $$ boosters. In all honesty it’s not a bad game. Unfortunately, even with the money spent you still get to a point where you cannot advance without continuously paying to upgrade and play. The only other option is to hope you get one of the few manager cards they give out for free once every 24 hours. In my case today,
- [R16] Idle Hotel Empire Tycoon-Game Where did you all go?: It’s been what feels like an eternity since there has been any kind of major update. 1 year? 2 years? I’m shocked I still have this game installed.
- [R43] Idle Hotel Empire Tycoon-Game Needs Update: I haven’t touched this game in a year at least I’ve been waiting for an update for a new hotel but still nothing.
- [R73] Idle Supermarket Tycoon It’s been 2 years: Where are the updates? This new update is so stupid and when you’re maxed out it’s almost impossible to continue anymore. Update your app more often.
- [R96] Idle Supermarket Tycoon Abandoned: Game is very good, but the last update was a year ago and it was minor bug fixes. I think the studio behind it just kinda abandoned the game, which is a shame because I do greatly enjoy it, such a shame.
