X per second is misleading if your highest earning property takes more than a second. For instance, if your highest earning property takes 5 minutes you won't see that gain until every 5 minutes it catches back up.

To the devs who keep saying that you have to keep playing it for it to be fun: If an idle game isn't fun, why on Earth would anyone WANT to keep playing it? You've got the formula backward - you need lots of progress early, then when we're hooked you slow down. It took me 6 days of playing this more than I would have liked just to hit level 3, which I guess opened the port. The problem is that those 6 days were so boring and tedious that the only reason I'm still on this page is to leave critical comments, and I'll never be back, so even if the port is the best thing since sliced bread, it doesn't matter.

I reserve 1 stars for games that just don't function. My 1 star policy was sorely tested on this one. I enjoy idle games occasionally, but this one was never fun at any point. It was never creative, or interesting, or any other positive adjective. It was a boring, time sucking, soul sucking vacuum of a game.

I have from managers & investments all profit x2 and x2,5 which is shown under effects as all profit x5. Bought under shop all profit x3, but under effect it's still all profit x5. Is it a bug or it is not shown?

Never had a medium badge take this long...this type of game should NEVER be badged. Let alone take days for a medium badge. You can do better Kong.

Am I the only one that thinks $X/sec is misleading? If that were the case in the time I've typed this I would have an extra $30M but it isn't even close.

Developer, instead of arguing with your audience when they say the game's boring, how about you actually accept it as feedback and change some things? No one expects perfection here, but when you have to tell every single person to give it several days worth of play before you judge, there's something wrong. (And I'm going to keep making comments like this until I get that second badge.)

Even by idle game standards, this is several degrees beyond awful. Super slow progression, zero real choices nor strategy beyond hitting trophy breakpoints, and once you unlock the production sector there is absolutely nothing new to do past that point.
This is nothing more than an extremely boring clone of Adventure Capitalist.

Wait a second did you guys really think I wasn't being sarcastic with my other comment and believed I needed a reply? Just how dense are you guys. It's just for the badge you filthy money grubbing pieces of industrial fabricated boredom badge producers. I get it. You need money. Make something that deserves money then.

Obligatory "this game sucks" post. Got the badge, time to never play again. Please continue to flame this game. It has the polish of a junior high project and is cancerous in its blatant "pay us" schemes. It's simply boring at best. If there has to be a note saying "play a few mins each day," you're probably doing badges wrong, Kong. Also, to the community account, please stop copy-pasting the same "just get a bit further" comment. You're only making this worse. It's not us, Holyday, it's you.

1-2sx/second is when you'll finally be free of this horrid game. Best of luck. Make sure you rate this game how you feel it deserves to be rated. Let our voices be heard.

Yes, the game will be fun after level 3. But I will not play this game again after reaching level 3 for the badge. I hope I can reach level 3 in a month.

ok im not good enough at this site to Nest Comments, but like. i've played an idle game before. i've played several. i know about idle games. your idle game isn't fun. like um. it's not that theres a thing about this game that you can let me know about that will make it fun. you just didnt make a fun game. yall act like you can argue ppl into liking your game, which isn't how liking things or having fun works really? you cant convince me the game is fun by arguing with me. anyway jokes on me because im still playing for the badge.

Why in the name of this Earth does saving the game come with a cool-down feature? More importantly, how much is the dev charging to bypass it?

Been playing this for almost a week now. Still no medium badge.
The game is boring as hell and I'm happy to say I didn't waste any of my money on this boring, uninspired idle game. So, so many incremental idle games on this site are far, far more deserving of badges. Everything I have to say has been said by countless others in the comments.

lol seriously screw all the people downvoting positive comments, go shit on someone elses game and leave this one alone xD

If you can't show me within the first hour of playing why I should keep playing, I'm going to stop playing. Game developers should understand that.

it takes way to long time to get to level 3 this should be a 30points achivement. Not because its hard but because it takes alot of time

Its about average. Takes a while to get going. Some suggestions
after buy max should be buy to next trophy.
swap iron and the lightbulb producer in the unlock order because you cant even use iron until level 3.

I like idel games I tend to have this most gain power thing and be the best. But this was so slow with nothing going on. When it suggests claiming your fee and starting over i did and you just get 2 times the happiness for your first guy which is less than your level 2 city which resets to lvl 1. There are managers who are worth it but the first one is just a set back as far as getting the badge. So always weigh resetting on loosing your city lvls. I gave it a chance but im out now needs more story or something if it wants to keep interest. Unlocked the port and no longer care :)

I love how people are saying this game is boring, when the literal point of an idle game is to be patient and wait.
Definition of idle: (of a person) spend time doing nothing; be idle.

Beginners and veterans alike are being downvoted for giving positive comments on the game, and some are being accused as being "bot accounts" for it. I've been on this site for 7 years, and I've never seen this much hate on a game because people don't like that it was badged. It's funny how people have never complained about other games with badges that could take weeks to get, but just because it's an idle game makes it the worst possible choice to be badged. Chill out.

heck, i would even go as far as saying you should report the game, maybe with some luck kongregate's management will unbadge it or at least stop pushing games like this
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
now im not saying that the devs are creating fake accounts to boost their ratings and comment "good game" on it and stuff, but the fact that i went through comments and only saw positive comments from acounts created recently prior to the comment and/or under level 4 says a LOT.
if you read this, don't bother with the game. they rely on the sum cost fallacy. if you invest days into the game of course you would feel more attached to it and try to see the little good parts in it. but if you have an itch for an idle game, there are sooo many better idle games that will make you happier and require less investment. some of the good ones even have badges - look at clicker heroes, idle online universe, realm grinder etc.
do not play this game, unless you are a badge whale like most of us, and then let go of the game. it isn't worth it. just get the level 3 asap and get out of the game.

I am disappointed in Kongregate for giving this game badges. It is the only reason people would play this boring boring game. So little to do even giving it some credit that it is an idle games. I have had fun playing idle games in the past, there is usually some strategy involved in what order you upgrade things, this game you pretty much just buy what you can afford and then you wait... and wait... such slow progress, and resetting doesnt allow you to get much further at all your next go around, nothing new to keep it interesting.

i play this game since it's beta, September 2017. I am level 40 on the main game and 29 on the island. I still love it and play every day. Thanks for the badges!

I keep seeing responses from the developer saying "Give it time, the real game starts when you unlock more content after level 3". I've been playing this game pretty non-stop for a few days now, I've taken advantage of the daily stuff and free codes, and I'm still a couple days away from level three. If it takes a week of dedicated gameplay to "get interesting", your game needs some rethinking. It could be the best game ever, so wonderful that people are shocked it's categorized as an idle game, but if it takes a week to get there, no one will see that and no amount of urging the public to give it a chance will make it better.

Day 5: wandering in a wasteland called "Holiday City", stuck in a place called "Lvl 2: Town". The people here seems to live off imgarinary goods, everyone I ask replies with "just wait a few days more, it will be fantastic soon". There's some satanic ritual called "Events". In order to see that I have to move to "Lvl 5: Town". There's a shortcut, but it requires money I don't have. I will probably just starve here, looking at the tiny clothes bar to go up, down, up, down...
If you are a new player and stuck on a level there are several tips how you can progress further, feel free to make a question to our forums or send us a private message at support@holydaystudios.com if you have any question. There have been so many players that they have been to the late game content or progress really far only by gathering all those Free Daily Rewards. Don't forget to gather them :)

Fun to read the bad backfire devs now finally get, rating also is going down massively....the seeds of greed is growing fast at the end ;D

Oh and one more thing: having a lvl 40 city and 26 island: No, the game does NOT in any way, shape or form get more "exciting" after level 3, or 5, or a week, or after unlocking the event, or the airport, or the marina, or the Island. It just adds more of the things you guys (being lured here with badges) already hate about it, just even slower and even less strategic and even less depth. So responding to me about 'giving it more time' is not going to work this time, winky face.

6 days for the badge...
Idle games do need "patience,time and strategy", but games should also be, yaknow, fun to play? Why would we invest our time in something that isn't fun? If it wasn't for the badge, I would've stopped playin this after five minutes, and I'm sick of playing it now. It shouldn't take almost a week of playing to get to the good part.
I don't know how this game got badged, but I think the devs might be regretting it now...

Hi pixieeee! Holyday City is an idle game and as every game of this genre needs patience,time and strategy in order to realize its depth and play-style! We are happy to help you if you have any question about the play style of the game :)

I don't know why there's so much hate, I just let it run in the background and upgrade occasionally, currently lvl 12, looking forward to 14 for the marina and aquarium, it's an idle game, not an action game, if you don't like waiting maybe this genre is not your style?

"the interesting part begins after level 3 ;) you haven't even unlock the event !" Or we can just pay money, right? No thanks. This game isn't designed to be a game, it's designed to be a money sink.
