Fabulous – New York to LA Reviews

by Ohiohaze

I typically love the Gamehouse time management games but this one is a real snooze. It’s not challenging at all and runs at a snail’s pace. You have to keep repeating the same boring levels to get enough stars to pass on to the next chapters. I played through 3 chapters and it wasn’t getting any more fun so I finally stopped. The never ending series of long ads is also too much to take. Just charge me $10 for the game and let me play it, already! Why waste time on a format thats’s primary objective is to manipulate me into spending way more than the game is worth. The fun of playing these games is to advance with your skills and they’ve ruined that by adding a monetary obstacle. There’s not much skill required here at all. You either have to put in lots of tedious, repetitive game play or keep paying to advance. It’s sad to see Gamehouse ruin it’s brand in the name of greed. Why can’t they be satisfied with charging a fair price for a quality product?

UPDATE:
So Gamehouse replied, but without a real answer. They said if you pay you shouldn’t see ads. But what I’m asking is if you pay, do you ACTUALLY earn the double-money offered by ads and if you pay do you ACTUALLY get 50% off upgrades in the shop, or not? Without both these things they’re trying to push ads for it seems impossibly to EVER get through the game and have any fun doing it. I’ll be damned if I’m going to pay AND be unable to enjoy the game. Can anyone commend?

ORIGINAL QUERY:
I was going to pay the $10 for the game. In the past that gave you the opportunity to play ALL the levels and go for ALL the upgrades and get NO ads. But from reading reviews here it sounds like even if you PAY $10 for the game you STILL have to watch a ton of ads to do anything? That’s some real BS there for your loyal customers (I’ve easily spent several hundred dollars buying your games - paying for a quality product the way it is supposed to be.) If you now expect me to pay AND watch ads, you guys can go take a long walk off a short pier.

Can you please clarify if there is ANY need at all to watch ads if a customer purchases the full game? Thanks!

I love the Delicious series, Loveboat, Dr Cares etc - just finished “Emily’s Road Trip.” And I’ve played the other this app games. But this one is ridiculous. So overly complicated. I’m not even talking about ads. There are diamonds, upgrades, skills - you can’t play a level without getting detailed instructions about how to upgrade stuff. And it won’t let you play without clicking through the instructions.

I like the gamehouse games because they give me a chance to de-stress. And the stories are fun. This is the opposite. I will be deleting, not purchasing.

I love gamehouse I have all the delicious Emily, this app Angela, dr heart medicine, and primrose lake but I couldn’t do this game for the same reason I couldn’t do the last dr hearts game and that’s due to being WAY TOO LONG (what happened to 60 levels?) and you have to replay to move on by getting enough stars which you also do in hearts medicine which I HATE!!! So I haven’t finished the latest games in any of these series that I used to love so much but also the delicious Emily graphics are horrible now

by BT21 MAKE IT RIGHT

Gamehouse I would like to start off by saying your games have very good content in them and I love them but...the problem is that ever since you decided to put 5 or 10 chapters free for people to play without playing but them you want us to pay $9.99 dollars just to play the whole game so I don’t find it fair. Not everybody has money on their account so please make it fair for everybody and no I’m not hating on your games I’m just asking nicely if you could atleast lower the price down a little because I also find it a bit too expensive even for my self so please lower the price down a bit like $6.99 that would be affordable for I think most people so please think about this and make it fair for eveybody to play. Thank you very much for your time.

Let me just first say I’ve been playing Delicious and this app since I was a teenager, and I’m 31 now. But the storylines for Angela have been awful. You think she’s done being selfish after a million games but alas, here comes this game! I didn’t buy the game just to hate her for pretty much the entirety of it. She hasn’t been this selfish since she dated Emily’s exboyfriend back in the day in the Winter game. Why keep introducing a good boyfriend like Killian (that she doesn’t deserve)and have her keep ruining it! The resolution to this game was lame too (if you even call it one)! Another Angela game should not be made unless the storyline is worth it, it took me 3 weeks to get through this game because it was so cringey and boring! Let’s get back to quality instead of cash grabs!

I know we have to deal with ads because the developer must make money. However, in this game, if I am not willing to watch a lengthy series of interminable ads, I must repeat every level 4 to 6 times to complete the level with full stars or diamonds. In addition, the in-game store charges an exorbitant amount of coins for an upgrade, unless, of course, I am willing to watch more ads. The continuous requests to watch ads pose a stumbling block to smooth progress in the game. I will watch with interest the upcoming release of the movie-themed game due out soon. If it has the same no-progress format as this this app Angela, I am afraid it will spell the end of a long-enjoyable game franchise for me.

by Andria92

First off let me just say.....I MADE IT!! I FINALLY made it through the game. This game was just way too long!!
I honestly feel like if Angela’s story would have been more interesting I wouldn’t have minded how long the game was.

Sad to say that this Angela was my least favorite!
I hated everything about her personality in this game. She goes from a this app fashion designer that has great friends and a great relationship to a huge 🤬🤬🤬🤬. This story sucked - even the way Angela learned a valuable lesson just didn’t cut it.

The design of the game is beautiful though! Even the animated parts I love! However I think there are still some flaws in the gameplay when it comes to restocking items (only 3 items at a time instead of 6 like before) and earning 5 stars on a level (I can have all upgrades and get bonuses and still not get 5 stars)

I honestly don’t know if I’m a fan of Angela’s this app! games anymore. I hope the next story will be better though.

I like the game but this version is too easy. I don’t have many customers to manage. There were times when I didn’t have any customers in the store at all. I have to play levels multiple times to get all five stars and it’s kind of frustrating. Also, I love the endless play levels but I wish we could pick the store instead of spinning for it.

by Ctbh4life

I’m so angry the format of this game has changed
I’ve played all of them and this one by far is just doing the most. The fact that they added boosters and upgrades are fine but it’s too much to deal with HAVING TO ABSOLUTELY CHOOSE to use them and have enough money in game to buy stuff needed to get FIVE STARS! I miss the old format I miss being able to sit down and unwind after a stressful day of business and kids. I have a subscription to GH so adds I don’t care about but this misses on all levels
I’m about to quit and find another game

by Jctweet

I do love gamehouse games. I’ve been enjoying the game for a few days but now my daily rewards aren’t registering. The goal is catching mice and I’ve caught 3 but none show up in the count. Another is restocking items which I’ve done on multiple levels and it’s still not working. The goals didn’t work yesterday either.

by ReneeJack8

Love the game but after every level it wants me to pay 9.99 again and again after I have already paid it. Now apparently something it not registering correctly with the game at it is a little annoying. You need to fix it. Because I paid it immediately and I would like the game to understand that.

by Funsizedeb

I absolutely love all of the Gamehouse Story games and I’ve played practically all of them. However, this is the first time I’ve ever seen where there appears to be a place to add a new product once you’ve reached a certain level (new dresses or accessories, etc.), but all of the chapters products stay the same and never add more to make it more challenging and the chapters get boring really quickly. Is this a glitch? I would love to know if there is some way to fix this if I’m doing something wrong. Thanks!

by A2011Dream

I enjoy the gameplay of this one, but it’s really frustrating that some levels - especially the Designing levels - are literally impossible to get all 5 stars the first time. When I get a perfect score on all the rounds of a Designing level I should get all 5 stars. It seems the game is designed to force you to replay tons of levels, or pay real money to get the diamonds you miss out on

by Katarina Lokner

I love your games. I never really liked Angela in Delicious but I remember buying her first game (not talking about the mini game where her Ex-husband cheats) and I enjoyed it. My favorite is the high school one. But this game is just Ridiculous. It’s boring, it’s kinda confusing, you need so many stars for new chapters and the characters are nothing special. I’m very disappointed.

by Musiclover125588

I love this game series. There’s just one thing that gets me, I aim to get five stars for each level. In previous games that wasn’t too much of a problem. Now to get the fifth star I have to play the level again even with the bonus at the end. There are 185 levels not including the bonus games. To complete this game it’s going to take a while. It shows how much you need to get the first star, could you show how many points it takes to get each star?

by Kiwi123446

I’ve always been a big fan of the this app Angela series, so when another game got released I was pumped. The game is very fun like always, however, I am noticing that there are white blocks that are popping up and covering items in the game. For example, on level 2 the blocks were covering the clock, some of the stars on the left hand panel, and the goal on the top right. Once these bugs get fixed I think the game will be perfect!

by Joyflute

This is back to the performance level of the Emily games we used to see. Smooth, no glitches, great graphics and storyline. Overall it’s well-done with the multiple mini levels making the game enjoyable. But I sure watched a WHOLE LOTTA ADS which just should not have been there after paying $10!! I felt like I spent more time watching ads than playing the game! Come on, developers, really?!? Even though I enjoyed this one a lot, I am getting to the point where I may not play any more Gamehouse games if this ad trend continues, which is very sad since I have played all of them from the very beginning of Emily.

But ... your messages are to quick! They flash up on the screen and in 1 second (I am not exaggerating) they disappear. If I am lucky I get to read the first five words!

by Dr. Rosssi

I absolutely love this game. Game house games are my favorite. The only thing I would love to see changed is the option to play the mini games in between episodes. I can't say that I care for the measuring or design of the clothing. I just would like to play.
