1. 3/5Fun but Cheats

   This game is very addicting, so if you actually have something better to do, I wouldn’t recommend downloading it. That said, if you do try it, it’s pretty fun at least up to a point. It’s similar to a lot of other diner dash-style games. At first, the game feels fair. I didn’t even mind watching ads to get more time or points. I understand it’s a free app and ads are how they make money. However, once I reached the higher levels, I started noticing some issues that feel less like difficulty and more like the game actively cheating. It seems like the level difficulty or outcomes change based on how many jewels you use. In one “don’t lose a customer” level, I still had one customer left, but the game suddenly ended and told me I didn’t meet the goal, then tried to force me to watch an ad or spend jewels. In another type of level where you have to reach a certain amount, there were long stretches where no customers appeared at all, and the clock just ran out. The more I level up, the more this happens, which makes it feel like the game is becoming pay-to-play without actually admitting it. I’m not sure if this is a glitch or intentional, which is disappointing because the game is fun overall. I just don’t think the levels should be unfair or manipulated unless the app is upfront about being pay-to-play.

2. 3/5Impossible unless you pay to play

   I’m rewriting my review after playing for a few months and understand how to advance a little better. I still think it’s pay to play, but it IS possible to advance without it, it just takes forever. You can play endless mode when you’re out of lives, you just have to back out instead of hitting replay (for whatever reason). I still hate how they nerf the coins in endless, and how some hospitals pay more! So I get completely sick of those two hospitals that pay more and never get to play the others. There’s a big difference between 370 and 300 coins.. I’m mostly here to say PLEASE FIX THE WAITING CHAIR IN BERLIN!!! Or give us the option to remove it! Why is it completely out of the way?! It ruins the flow. The waiting chair has always been right where we normally tap patients in. Why would you put it way off screen in Berlin? I wasted coins on something that makes the game harder 😩. All of the tiny items right next to each other that aren’t even accurate drives me insane. I feel sorry for people who don’t use a stylus lol this hospital would be impossible.

3. 1/5Unplayable

   I would really like to give this game more stars. It is super cute and the time management concept is great, but the game is simply unplayable. You get a few hundred coins from each level, but every item you need to upgrade is 2,000 coins and in order for the next level to be playable it requires multiple upgrades in multiple areas. The doctors won’t even come out and tend to patients half the time so people are taking up space blocking someone else. You only give 5 lives which go out immediately. You have to watch an ad for 30 extra seconds, but it only lasts 10. And watching 2 ads only gives you one extra life. The ads are so long. It takes 2 minutes to get through them and requires you to push multiple x buttons to get out of layers and layers of the ad. All of that to just lose again and watch more ads. I’m not even playing the game anymore because it’s all just losing and ads. You can’t frustrate people into giving you money. They will just leave a bad review and delete instead. There is no point to giving money when it only shows it eats everything up with no meaningful progress. Why are the endless ads not enough for you? It’s just making the app marketplace depressing. There are no real games anymore. This game is a wasted disappointment.

4. 3/5Pay to Win

   TLDR: Save your time and money, it gets too hard to win unless you pay real money for fake and ultimately useless boosts. I’m deleting this after level 29 on the 2nd map. Up until that point the game is fun and the right balance of stress with reward for passing. However, it becomes increasingly difficult and then just impossible to pass levels without having to pay for extra boosters. You don’t get enough coins after passing a level to be able to keep up with needed upgrades to win, like making patients more patient or extra equipment slots, but even then some of the upgrades barely even help and get canceled out by extremely short wait times. I wish they’d balance this out with the ability to go back and play levels, because even endless mode becomes impossible without paying to win (the only other way to get coins to progress). It just doesn’t make any sense. Fun while it lasted, on to the next.

5. 1/5Poor Game Model

   This game is sloppily made, without users or longevity in mind. It is initially fun & challenging, however, this game reaches a point where despite spending real money, having unlimited lives, & making upgrades does not bring you any closer to passing a level. You become stuck repeatedly playing the same level (not fun) using all your lives & coins, only to redeem 1/10 of earning on every failed level AND endless mode in previous cities. Redeeming at best, 100 coins on each failed level to make a single upgrade of ~1800, would take you 18 plays of the exact same level, only to still not pass. Not to mention that you only get 4 lives at a time. This is an insufficient model & the recommendation to play endless mode at the same pay rate & watch advertisements is an absolutely unacceptable recommendation on behalf of the game programmers. I would love to see them make SIGNIFICANT changes to the pay model in order for continuing to play this game to be worth my time. Otherwise, they’ll continue to see users walk away from this game & forget it because it’s simply not worth the wasted time, energy, or money.
