1. [R2] Travel Town 4/5 · US Fun but frustrating at times: I’ve been playing this game for a long time now and I love it. However, it really pisses me off sometimes. First, the vault blasters minigame is near impossible. Today I spent over 64 gems to get more energy so I could keep playing and only got to the 300’s out of 1000. 3 hrs is not enough time, especially for people who have lives. PLEASE extend the time limit for th
2. [R8] Travel Town 4/5 · US Great game: I don’t know how they did it but this game makes you want to spend your money on the energy. I’ve never experienced fomo before this game but now I always have to know what’s next. My only complaint is being forced to play mini games, like the boat race one when I really do not want to. It’s pretty annoying if I do say so. Other than that this game is worth the try.
3. [R28] Travel Town 2/5 · US Helps My OCD, but…: This game can be addictive, but my main issue with it is that it’s more of a pay to play game. It’s free to play to an extent. It feels free at first, but when it comes to events, it’ll throw in $$$ in between free handouts, making it hard to move forward in the game. If there were less pay to play obstacles, the game would be more fun, especially with how much energy we have t
4. [R61] Seaside Escape® 2/5 · US Disappointed.. 😔: So I got this game because I saw an ad promoting it and I wanted to give it a shot because it looked fun! Spoiler alert, it is nothing like the ad. I was so disappointed because there has been a lot of false ads I’ve seen, luring people to their game, and then when you download it and then open it, it is nothing like the ad. That is just going to make people mad and not want to p
5. [R12] Travel Town 3/5 · US Please stop: I just want to play the game, not sit through screen after screen that pops up before gameplay. It’s unnecessary since there’s a whole menu where you can see these things anyway. Why must we sit through the tedious animation, especially when it comes to those stupid collector cards. It wasn’t like that when I first started playing this game and now I’m thinking about deleting the g
6. [R20] Travel Town 4/5 · US Good but…: I actually love the actual games but geez, the popups!! You have to x out of 10-20 of them just to play the game. And more when you switch to the mini games. JUST STOP!
7. [R21] Travel Town 3/5 · US Game is fun, pop ups are annoying: This game is really fun and helps fight boredom. But the constant pop ups every single time you open the game makes me debate on deleting the game. Legitimately there are sometimes that I have to close 10 pop ups before I can even play the game
8. [R66] Seaside Escape® 3/5 · US Game is Fun but the Ads LIE: It’s so funny to me that they’re now running ads that specifically call out apps that are nothing like their ads, cause this game is NOTHING like those ads. It’s a pretty typical merge game. That’s it.
9. [R10] Travel Town 2/5 · US Love the game, but recent versions cause crashing: I’ve been playing this game for several years with no challenges and recently it crashes or freezes since the addition of the dream quest feature. Contacted customer service and they said it was my device, however, my device is shown as being compatible with this game.
10. [R19] Travel Town 1/5 · US Game not working: I loved this game but for the past few days it won’t load at all. Bugs are bad right now!
11. [R22] Travel Town 2/5 · US Crashes A lot!!!: Keeps crashing and I’m losing my coins, jewels and I even lost a joker card because of the bugs.
12. [R81] Seaside Escape® 3/5 · US Takes forever: This game was fun for a while but eventually it became much more tedious than any other merge game I’ve played. Collecting energy took forever and some of the items needed would take 6+ hours to get if you don’t pay to play. I deleted it
13. [R27] Travel Town 3/5 · US Addicting! Hard to put down and ultimately... expensive: This game is fun and relaxing and definitely eats up your time. I love all the little mini games within the game and it keeps me playing however, you run out of energy so fast and it is expensive to purchase more!!! While your energy does fill up to 100 after a few hours why does it stop? Why not let it continue to accumulate? Seems like thi
14. [R30] Travel Town 3/5 · US Spend money and too many ads: You have to spend money to actually enjoy the game and level up. Also too many ads about spending money just ao you can start playing
15. [R33] Travel Town 3/5 · US You won’t progress if you don’t spend money: I don’t really understand the happy reviews. If you want to progress at any rate you pretty much have to spend money. If you want to complete any timed special event you DEFINITELY have to spend money. One unit of energy every 2 minutes and it maxes out at 100? And bonus energy is sporadic. You often need to buy energy to play long enough to gain bonus
16. [R69] Seaside Escape® 3/5 · US Expensive: Why the prices is going up when i finish every level
17. [R4] Travel Town 1/5 · US App purchases.: I made an in app purchase and when I went back into the game I didn’t get my 80 gems. I am very upset.
18. [R55] Travel Town 1/5 · US Scammers!: They take your money, then when you message support because they gave you outdated product, or the game glitches, they take several days to reply (if you’re lucky enough to even get a response), then act like you’re a child and try to gaslight you into believing the app did what it was supposed to do. It is absurd.
19. [R85] Seaside Escape® 2/5 · US Customer Service Sucks: Attempted to talk to customer service multiple times about late updates, there not being enough space in the game for our items and it doesn’t let me until I leave a review first. And it doesn’t let me leave anything below 3 stars. Game is good, updates are SLOW. Says weekly but happens every 9-14 days
20. [R102] Seaside Escape® 3/5 · GB Proven Scam: I never care enough to write reviews, but you guys have just proven to be absolute scammers with your shining star purchases. No it’s a coincidence that the in app challenge which selects random power ups to give you with each purchase, just so happens to select the lowest quality power up to second lowest quality power up, to the third lowest quality power up and so on, with each ext
21. [R1] Travel Town 1/5 · US 8x and 16x Boost: The game will announce unlocking of a power boost which I cannot use. Apparently 16x and 8x power boosts are available but my game only goes up to 4x. The support tab says I need a valid email, which I entered into the system but alas, still an error. I can’t get what I need and this is too frustrating so I’m going to stop playing.
