Contact Trailer Park Boys Greasy Money Support

by CappinMcNasty

The game seems designed to frustrate you into paying absurd amounts of money. You will progress just to the point of receiving a new character, and then the time gated “drops” that are required to perform the upgrade necessary to unlock a new character suddenly stop dropping.

I performed an experiment and set an alarm so that each time gate would alert me so I could maximize play time. This resulted in me logging in every two hours minimum with multiple check ins to perform pick ups that were not yet automated. This play style over 3 days resulted in me getting 1/4 of the way to unlocking a new character before the 3 day event ended.

Don’t bother with this game until they make changes because as of right now the game is “pay $20 every other day to unlock a tiny image that will have no noticeable effect on gameplay”

Edit: Unfortunately a canned response from the developer posted on other reviews as well. As stated, I maximized possible playtime to an unrealistic degree, even tapping away during work hours. This was a targeted test to determine if possible to unlock players without paying. I repeat, not possible. I intend to uninstall if one more attempt renders no result.

Edit: I finally deleted the game. I had hoped the developers would have been responsive to customer complaints to bring the pay to win aspect under control but it is not the case. Avoid this game at all costs.

I hate to leave this review because I did live this game, but no more. The devs will say it isn’t, but everyone who plays this knows that every week it gets harder and harder to pass anything without spending what? Hundreds of dollars every weekend just to finish a special event? I mean that is ridiculous beyond comprehension. You used to be able to finish these weekly events by just saving up hash coins and playing often, now it’s virtually impossible. For instance, the current even going on now, it used to get harder as you got further into the game, but now the only way to advance is to spend a lot of money. There are 6 buildings to unlock, and like clockwork, the character you need to unlock it NEVER come up on the 3 card rotation that changes every 2 hours, it used to, not anymore. So here I am, on building 4, no way to unlock it even after spending 2 days trying, waiting for the character to pop up so I can buy cards for him, but he never does. The only option is to buy hash coins and buy the character outright, but who in their right mind would spend that sort of money on a phone game that requires this weekly? People could buy a new PlayStation and a bunch of games for what they are spending on this scam. It makes me wonder why Apple allows devs to rip people off like this? Why have any games in the AppStore at all if the only people who can afford to play them have 7 figure bank accounts?

First let me start by saying the game is great. Sure there is a lot repetition but somehow it still draws you in. Lately however it seems that it’s becoming more money hungry. Whereas before the events were scarce, now as soon as one ends another one begins. With this (and in general) comes opportunity to earn extra in-game currency by watching ads, downloading apps, or making purchases. And this is where everything goes wrong. The whole system is broken. Often times watching ads crashes the game or just doesn’t register causing frustrations. There’s been times when I spent weeks completing an offer and no reward has been received. In last case I contacted the devs and all they could do was point the finger at their vendor (iron source). Contacting iron source is yet another wave of frustrations. It takes them weeks to respond (in my last case nearly 3 weeks) stating that they need info which was already submitted to them twice! And now by the looks of it they are taking their time again. So for those who do complete offers (or spend money to complete offers) be very careful as its a hit/miss situation at which point there’s nothing you can do.

Other than that again, it’s a really fun game that will keep you coming back for more.
