Hamster Inn

I love the art style and gameplay is satisfying & rewarding! All of the characters are adorable and the game is engaging and interesting to look at. There are a few bugs I’ve noticed: the room service food (not including the broken cup cafe) reverts back to level 1 after being leveled up and restarting the app; the security officer sometimes glitches and becomes stuck in the “attack” phase and is unable to ward off unwanted visitors until restarting the app. Aside from this, the only annoyance is that informative pop-ups can sometimes block the screen and interrupt gameplay. These pop-ups are helpful when unwanted visitors are approaching or new information is displayed, but become cumbersome when constantly displaying staff activation or special guests that offer acorns for watching an ad.

Ok so this game is SoOOoOooO cute and I love it, it’s one of the ONLY games I play, but I’m having second thoughts about it...it’s just that, 1st of all, yesterday when I started playing, a frog was going fishing and when he caught something he stayed there. And he wouldn’t move over for other people. What 🤔??? And when I shook the maracas more guests came but they weren’t going in the inn 🏨. What 🤔???? So the tips kept on getting bigger but no one was getting inside the inn. I was so confused 🤷🏼‍♀️ 😐. I don’t understand why they aren’t doing anything. And it said the diggy animal was coming, and then one more guest came into the line. And no one was even going in. I miss seeing them run on the wheel 🏃🏼‍♀️, and sleep in the bed 😴. All you ever see them do now is eat, and eat, and eat, and eat 😐🤦🏼‍♀️. Please fix this because I really love this game but if they aren’t doing anything it’s a kind of boring game to have. And also, I forgot to mention that when they come to eat they come in boats too. So no one even gets to eat either ☕️ 🍵. And my employees aren’t even doing anything anymore. These are the worst cons I’m dealing with so far so please fix them because this game just isn’t worthwhile anymore. Sincerely, A confused player

Hyper Beard definitely has their signature art style and themes figured out. Every game they have is beautiful and the art design is creative and well thought out. Unfortunately that’s where the creativity ends. Their games, including Hamster Inn, are gorgeous but consist of the bare minimum when it comes to game mechanics. The early stages of the game are fairly engaging, having to manage room service, clean the rooms, and scare off unwelcomed guests. After you unlock the staff members that do these tasks for you, the game just becomes a source of ad revenue. The gameplay loop soon becomes: login, watch a couple ads, buy upgrades, logout. As much as I enjoy the art style Hyper Beard has mastered, the games are just bare bones and lack any engaging features. I liked Hamster Inn in the beginning, but after the staff got involved it became so automated that I was no longer “running” the inn and ended up just watching ads to increase my wallet to buy items that ultimately had no effect or change in how the game operates. If you plan on playing Hamster Inn I fully recommend not purchasing any staff members if you want to have an engaging experience, otherwise it’s just a source of ad revenue for Hyper Beard.
