Cool game, but biggest pitfall is that it's too easy to accidentally spend the "real" dollars that are paid for or take time to accumulate. A small mis-touch and poof, gone! Please add a confirmation box for spending dollars and I'd probably pay money again, but not with how it is now. *edited - I found the option to turn on notifications, that's what I needed! 5 stars.
I honestly would be leaving a higher review if the game didn't crash constantly. It is hard to make money. Items I can't craft or don't have characters for are required for trade items I need to make money. I should only need to sell things I can actually obtain. Also constant active characters become invisible and are impossible to click on. Many glitches but it is very fun and I love the look of the game.
Very fun to build my own Goosebumps themed town. Love collecting all of the characters. Attention to detail in the game makes the game even more enjoyable. They need to work on keeping the game up to date and playable after special events. You'll get a new character, but won't be able to complete it's task because items needed are no longer available because it was released as a special event. Most characters don't have this issue, only a few. But still is very frustrating
I was addicted to this game. It was great until the Valentine Event update. My game crashes as soon as it loads up. Contacted customer support and they say it's on my end. But I have the same issue as everyone else with a bad review. Brand new phone and only a small percentage of storage used, so it's not that. And we pay for great wifi so it's not my service either. I'll miss this game, but I'll find something as good!
I can't recommend this game until the developer adds a working, smooth, easy to use scrollbar for the crafting and buying. It's too easy to buy something you don't want with the rare currency used to unlock special items. It's soul-crushing when this happens. I dunno if this was done purposely or the devs are just lazy, but either way it's bad. When this is updated, it's otherwise perfect. Until then: Player Beware! You're in for a pain in the neck...
I can't stop playing it no matter what problems I see. The characters you need to further the story are ones you have to pay for... Cause if you don't the story itself is moving too fast. Can't you just .... Making each level a little harder to give the player more time? Or maybe have different levels of items in the pawn shop. That way if I don't have monster items I don't have to refresh every minutes.
I am a DIEHARD fan of Goosebumps. I downloaded this knowing that the micro transactions were there but figured, could it be that bad? YES. Every fun bit is locked behind an obscene pay wall. Slappy the Dummy? PAYWALL. Basic story progression? PAYWALL. Fun? PAYWALL! New cosmetics are one thing but locking the core game away is low. The time it takes for anything to complete is plodding at best, atrocious at worst. The graphics are good, the music is okay, but it stutters often and freezes
The game is alot of fun. Suits me because I love monsters always have. But you can't really move forward very fast in a lot of ways need money for so if you're willing to spend real money at the game. You may lose interest fast.im willing to support a game that I like a little but I'm currently not able too right now so. Just have to find ways to be creative in the game and really earn much of the game. But I do enjoy the game i think they've done a good job and the details are impressive.
Love this game, love seeing my childhood come to life. There's so much to do, so much going on that I'm constantly being kept busy when I play. My only complaint is that at times it seems to freeze/lag. Like when I'm trying to scroll through lists of things to create or do, it's like the game doesn't register my fingertips yet when it does it selects things it thinks I'm tapping on. Will give 5 stars if that can be fixed. (Its not my phone. I don't have this problem when I play other games.)
Updated: the devoplers got back to me and credited the game. They were friendly, nice and apologetic when they got back with me. It's good to know that they will stand by purchases and when missing fix it. I truly do love this game! It is super addicting!! I would rate this game higher, with five stars however I purchased the Alien pack and still have not received it and I've contacted the game twice about it with no response back. I won't purchase anything else from them as I can't count on actually getting what I purchase or ripped off. Other then that the game is fun.
The game is a fun concept, borrowed from games like the Simpsons tapped out or the Family Guy game. This one is a bit aggravating for it's ill consideration of game play. For example, the last few days I haven't been able to play the treasure dealer because for either two quests it required items that I'm unable to obtain as I have yet to unlock the areas required for those items. This issue has existed I this game across different questlines.. it appears the game would benefit from having more people play a beta version to identify these issues.
Fun concept. It is definitely a pay to play type of game. I don't like the fact that some of my inventory just up and disappears. Very frustrating if you're trying to save for something in particular. The % that the monsters have to drop their "special loot" is frustratingly low, so you gotta keep spending those coins. In order to progress in the story you need their dollars which are hard to gain, and you gotta spend it on A LOT of story mission items, putting you in a stalemate frequently...
Fun but irritating. It would be a lot more fun if the cost of certain things weren't so high. I get that the game does run on in app purchases but that takes away a lot of the fun when the cost can be too high for all characters and especially getting more land for the town. The fact that we have to buy the land as we level up when it already is enough to have certain special objects is highly irritating. It would more fun to get more space as we level up the town.
Having fun with this game. I like how you can watch loads of commercials to get the cash each day, seriously. A suggestion, I'd like to be able to earn higher amounts of cash and coins during gameplay also, maybe some cheaper purchase deals as well. UPDATE: THIS APP DRAINS YOUR BATTERY SERIOUSLY! 4% OF MY BATTERY DRAINED IN 25 MINUTES!?!? NEEDS FIXED.
The game is ok. You have to spend real money to get cash on the game to use for buying certain items to complete certain tasks. If you don't have enough of the cash on the game you can't complete new tasks when they're actually available. It gets kind of boring to just make the characters scare other people and collect off of buildings because I can't unlock new items or tasks
Cost of things are far too high and progression is probably the slowest I've ever seen in this kind of game. Can play every day for a year straight and not get very far 7nless you wanna spend real money even then it's not really worth it. Item storage limit gets real annoying too. Some areas can only be unlocked with certain items and those are not hard to obtain just seems more chance than practical.
LOVE this game. Took me some time to actually get around to DL it but now I'm obsessed. I just wish you could turn the House's and Structures in more directions and have an item count number next to each item in your storage, so you know what you need and what you already have!! Another MAIN ISSUE I have is sometimes when an item is finished being loaded, I get cheated out of the item and have to get more items to get the new item again because it won't show that I got it after loading.
Was really addicted and was having a good time playing this. That is once I spent a certain amount of real cash to help my experience but it didn't bother me any spending money on a game I enjoy playing. However once I got to around lvl 22 or so the game became boring, it takes a long long time for anything to be finished as well as having an rng element with certain items to complete quests. It's a good time for a while, unfortunately I just got bored and didn't want to spend more money.
I absolutely love this game. However I only see change to the startup screen and snow on the landscape. I refused access to my phone for your partners and if that's why I can't see the specials I'm beyond disappointed. I've spent hundreds of dollars on this game (I'm sure you can see that ) and I would hate to have to delete it. It's one of the two games I actually play.
Needs better storylines! 5 of the 7 quests I have available cost in game dollars to progress, and those are hard and slow to come by or you can real money, which I refuse to do. The remaining 2 quests require things that are also extremely time consuming to obtain (serenity pendant and a land expansion). I am quickly losing interest in this game.
