Grand Hotel Mania: Отель-игр‪а‬ 4+

I’ve played pretty much most dash games out there and this one is the most fair in terms of rewards and gems and coins you need for upgrades. It’s not super easy where you just get a ton of coins and gems to spend on upgrades where there is no challenge but I LOVE that. I love a game where I might need a few tries to get good enough to pass a level or play a bit more to get enough gems to upgrade something. But even once you move on to new hotels, you can go back to previous ones and play the ones you’ve mastered to get more gems if needed. And in this latest version they added even more ways to get helps on each level. Although I’ve passed all current hotels without using helps (just upgrades) because I like a bit of challenge. You honestly do not need to spend a penny to pass all levels, although I did spend a bit because I love to support great apps.

The only quirk that initially irritated me in this game was when you lose a level, it brings up a window with only button as OK and x in top right corner. With previous games, you just end up hitting it quickly without always reading or remembering that here, if you hit OK, it takes 20 gems to extend the level. So I’ve wasted some gems when I did not mean to but after that I’ve learned and just clicked x to close out the box. Outside of this, there are no weird crashes or ignored “clicks” like some dead spots

This game should really be an example that dash style games should strive for

Thanks for your feedback! We are already thinking about how to make the window with the second chance offer more convenient. We're sorry you lost your accumulated gems!

I love this game and it’s my favorite to play. But now that I’m pretty high up, it is getting increasingly frustrating to play. I don’t mind having to work hard to get an extra gem here or there (play the lower levels, or try the challenges) but when you work so hard to get the amount of gems (sometimes days) to upgrade your hotel to pass a level, and then you have to wait on the time limit to pass is just awful. I’m ok with having to watch commercials but to just provide no option except for paying with gems come on.

Example: (providing because I’m frustrated). To win the recent level I had to come up with 24 gems to upgrade a room. (You only won 10-15) at the end of the level, so for the past 3 days I’ve been working extremely hard to get the extra gems. I finally get them, purchase the room and it shows with a 12 hour wait. Ok, press play watch a commercial and it cuts it to 6… but then wait now there is no option to watch another ad, but instead come up with 24 gems just to speed up the delivery. Are you kidding me? These are the moments where I stop playing the game for a couple of weeks and try a different one.

Developers, I understand trying to make money off the game, but let’s make sure it’s still fun for your long time folks that are on higher levels.

Thank you very much for sharing your opinion and writing a detailed review! We are working on additional ways to get rewards in the game. We'll be sure to take your comments into account!

Update: the developers were correct, and they’ve added new levels. Unfortunately, they also recently changed how you get jewels and thus how you can upgrade. I see what they’re trying for, but it doesn’t work as it is. There used to be an incentive to continue playing earlier levels. (Something the developers touted, btw, which makes this change even more irritating.). Now there’s virtually no reason to play earlier levels, and very little incentive to play later ones. I still play, but considerably less frequently and with less pleasure. Suggestion: if you’re going to keep this new incentive, add some for the earlier levels and make some that are less ridiculous — eg, serve 7,777 people with guitars — so that there’s a reason to play. You’ve got a great game here. Not clear why you’re doing this.

I really enjoyed this game. As the developers said in response to another review, you have to be patient, go back to earlier levels, get some diamonds, and then improve the level you’re on. You also can’t play this game standing in line at the grocery store. It takes concentration. But that’s why I liked it. Challenging enough that you felt pleased when you won. Very sorry I’ve finished all the levels

Hello! Thanks a lot for your review! We are currently testing a new balance and will take your comments into account.
