  2. [R5] Idle Hotel Empire Tycoon－Game 5/5 · US Da best: Da best game I’ve ever played
  3. [R12] Idle Hotel Empire Tycoon－Game 3/5 · US 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
  4. [R13] Idle Hotel Empire Tycoon－Game 2/5 · US Don’t bother: I LOVE this game… However, once you complete every hotel (there are maybe…..10-12?), the only “new” ones only last for a couple days, typically on the weekends (NOT WORTH IT.) I first started playing this, maybe 4 years ago (?) when I was recovering from knee surgery. There have been ZERO new hotels added. All you can do is just “collect money”, but not spend it on anything to furthe
  5. [R7] Idle Hotel Empire Tycoon－Game 2/5 · US Can’t Progress: I’ve been on the third hotel for over a week and haven’t even made enough money to build a new room. It’s impossible to progress and I find myself just hopping on for 30 seconds very few hours to spend a the tiny bit I made offline. The games kinda tryna force me to spend money or something
  6. [R9] Idle Hotel Empire Tycoon－Game 3/5 · US Some issues...: I love this game. That said, I have one big issue with it: if you don’t shut the game off, and just let your tablet shut off on its own, you accumulate nothing! So two days I had to run to do some RL stuff, set the game down (during the weekend hotel event!), tablet shut off. I come home 2 hours later one day, 4.5 hours later today, I earned absolutely no money, no double profit ti
  7. [R10] Idle Hotel Empire Tycoon－Game 1/5 · US Requires data: Idle games should have an offline option
  8. [R15] Idle Hotel Empire Tycoon－Game 3/5 · US Can’t obtain 5 stars: I have really enjoyed playing the game and progressing from hotel to hotel. Unfortunately, I’m stuck on the 3rd hotel and unable to progress due to some bug on the first hotel. I have everything upgraded and am yet stuck on 4 stars. Any help or suggestions?
  9. [R3] Idle Hotel Empire Tycoon－Game 3/5 · US 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
  10. [R4] Idle Hotel Empire Tycoon－Game 1/5 · US Doesn’t work anymore: Used to love this game. Now it won’t load on any device.
  11. [R6] Idle Hotel Empire Tycoon－Game 3/5 · US 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!
  12. [R20] Idle Hotel Empire Tycoon－Game 4/5 · US Really good: It’s good because if your board it’s the game but sometimes I was playing and I to keep restarting the game but all good vibes
  13. [R1] Idle Hotel Empire Tycoon－Game 2/5 · US Fun BUT INAPPROPRIATE: THIS GAME MAKES THESE PEOPLE NAKED IN THE SHOWER WITH US ALLOWED TO LOOK AT THEM.
  14. [R17] Idle Hotel Empire Tycoon－Game 4/5 · US Great Game but the ads: This game is great and for the most part it is really easy to progress. That being said, once you get to a specific hotel, you’re making net negatives with your staff so the only way to get money is through watching ads for it.
  15. [R22] Idle Hotel Empire Tycoon－Game 2/5 · US ads are this game: You cannot do a single thing in this game without an ad being offered to you, and that’s because the game is impossible to play without getting money from ads nonstop! the customer rate is insanely slow and the game is so poorly made, not even showing u how ur losing money.
  16. [R16] Idle Hotel Empire Tycoon－Game 1/5 · US 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.
  17. [R21] Idle Hotel Empire Tycoon－Game 3/5 · US Relaxing, but bugs: I’ve always enjoyed playing idle games. And I’ve played a couple from Codigames before. However, with the hotel game, when I play the ads almost every other time it winds up shutting the sound in the game off, and I have to restart it. It’s highly annoying.
  18. [R102] Idle Bank Tycoon 3/5 · GB Ads: Stop raising your prices for the event packages, they used to be cheap now they are stupidly expensive - and please offer a permanent ad removal option, I’m not going to continue to pay for monthly option. Please don’t do anymore “time-limited bank” events either, it was garbage. Otherwise the game is pretty okay.
  19. [R26] Idle Hotel Empire Tycoon－Game 5/5 · US AMAZING SIGMA GAME!!: Ok , so I’ve played this game off and on for like 3 years, but I wish you guys would update the game.. because once you finish the game. you finished it. there’s no updates and I finished the game almost in a week , and also you can’t play this game without WiFi. DEFF RECOMMEND THO! Update: i redownloaded this game and now i cant get past a hotel. i have another suggestion. m
  20. [R70] Idle Bank Tycoon 1/5 · US Game is frozen: Sine the update last week the game has been frozen. It acts like it’s loading. It wants you to buy gold etc but then the game won’t load and let you play. I reached out to the developers with no response and it has been 5 days. They say they will respond within 2 days. Like all other games and apps just want your money and don’t care about the players.
  21. [R75] Idle Bank Tycoon 3/5 · US Love the game, but it’s froze and won’t load now: I was playing the game for about 2 weeks with no issues. Then it wouldn’t load. Stuck on loading screen. I’ve tried reinstalling and all troubleshooting ideas. I’ve reached out on the FB page and they said email support. I did and still nothing back. I haven’t been able to play this game for almost a week now. I’ve deleted and reinstalled multiple
  22. [R78] Idle Bank Tycoon 3/5 · US Froze: I re-installed, and it asked for age- which could be expected, but it got stuck loading the game, and completely froze. Even when i relaunched it, it was still stuck. I used to be pretty far, like bank 3.. 4..? (with the yacht..?), and sometimes did the Medieval event. I digress- Can this please get fixed..?
  23. [R91] Idle Bank Tycoon 1/5 · US Wont load: Played for like 30 minutes and got to bank 2. Closed the app for a bit and now it just sits on the loading screen and can’t even play.
