City Mania: Town Building Game 4+

This is honestly one of the most fun games I have played! Thank you for this great little App Store gem! It is so much fun with all the funny characters and it does something that most games struggle to do. It keeps you interested for more than an hour. It has all the limited time events. All the updates with new exclusive buildings to gather. All the fun bizzies. One of the best things about it is that none of the wait times for production are very long, few taking over an hour. Nothing is ridiculously expensive, and, best of all, NO WAIT TIMES FOR BUILDINGS BEING BUILT OR UPGRADED! That is one of the best things about this game. It doesn’t make you bored with, “Your Level 1 Hut will be done in 6 days and 22 hours!” It’s just a celestial box descending from the sky to make a building appear out of a construction site! (Totally should try that in real life.) Thank you for this game, and I will definitely continue to play it!
Also, just a side question. When you high-five a bizzie, three rings flash on his or her hand. Does the time that you tap their hand dictate the reward you get?

This game is great, it is fun and it keeps you busy while playing. However, I have a few major issues with it. The game has several options for you to watch an ad and get a reward, this feature is often not working. I am not sure why it hardly works but it is quite disappointing. The other major issue is the lack of a building storage or resale option. For example, if I previously bought a small water tower and now I have a large one that more than provides for my city, there is no way for me to store or sell the small one. The only option is to bulldoze it or leave it there. I don’t think this is fair based on the fact that coins are hard to come by and it takes a while for you to be able to buy things. I believe there should be an option to sell and/or store it until you need it again later. Please also consider that it takes up space in your city and if you currently don’t have use for it in the city, it’s a waste. Additionally, I believe that as you level up your rewards should as well, for example if at level 5 I am receiving a 50 coin gift for upgrading a building, at level 20 I should be getting more coins as a gift, maybe 200 coins as a gift or so, I just believe your growth should reflect in your gifts as well. Overall, I absolutely love this game and think that it could be perfect with a few tweaks.

I have played countless iPhone games exactly like this and gotten sick of their simplicity or lack of things to do after awhile. This game covers everything one could want in a little game on your phone. I have completely fallen in love with this game and I would love to play it more, but I can’t. Every 30-45 seconds I get the same ad forced to pop up on the screen. Once this stops, the longest amount of play time I have gotten before another ad is 2 minutes. This is especially frustrating when you’re trying to get something done, you’re getting really into the game, or trying to show off the game to friends.

I am someone who will always choose to watch an ad when given the choice. I like to get a little boost, and I love to support developers that make great games. I wish with all my heart that they simply did not force you to watch ads, given that there are so many ways the game allows you to choose to watch an ad to help you get ahead.

I understand this beautiful, intricate game was not free and those who worked hard on it deserve to make their profits- but for those of us that would gladly spend money on this game and regularly watch ads daily I would love to be given an option to perhaps pay a fee to make it so forced ads never pop up again. Until then, I can’t bring myself to spend real money on this game even though I want to.
