Reviews for "Tangerine Tycoon"

Pizza Clicker,Cookie Clicker And Captalism tycoon are best. 3.5

Was playing this for some days now and had most of the achievements god perk was maxed the other tps perk was at 14. Clicked to go to a new area and it locked up and it changed to something about prestige all achievements gone. Closed the game and then brought it back up and can't click on anything. First unlockable says test tube tangerines #99,999,999 10,000,000,000. So I guess I'm fucked now as I can't do anything.

the only problems i had were a lack of sound/music, and that the betting function needs a rehaul. it seemed to pretty consistently lose more often the more i spent on improving the odds, and it didnt make sense that i had to bet 100% of my money instead of choosing the amount. (same with the stocks - it's hard to actually play the market when you can only really invest in one or two at a time)
also - the heroic tangerines are a hugeeeee mistake to buy - they actually made me lose tangerines per second despite being the 2nd most expensive unit in the game... why??? if you're going to add that kind of dynamic to the game, you should really let the player know, especially when there's such a huge wait between the mutants and the 5d tangerine. it's frustrating to invest a lot of time into buying a bunch of the heroic ones, only to realize it's just taking you further and further away from your goal

The gambling is actually very accurate, somebody on the subreddit tried it over 200 games and the odds were spot on:

It's pretty common to get losing or winning streaks in the short term but it averages out over time.

It's intentional that you can only gamble 100% or it gets too easy to game the system (I'm not going to say how but it came to light during beta testing).

Regarding the music and sound this game is meant to be played in the background while you are working/doing other things so I left those out. I suppose I could put some in though along with mute buttons like they have in clicker heroes though. That works pretty well.

Also regarding the heroes yes you can earn more tangerines with the mutants. But can you live with yourself knowing what you have done to the inhabitants of earth? It's a moral dilemma and reflects the real world. People who are willing to do bad things often end up richer. If you're not happy with the choice you made do a multiverse breach and do it differently. There is always another universe to experiment on :)

While I enjoy entertaining the idea I can erase mankind's existence with fruit like a lost episode of Annoying Orange, the Cookie Clicker deja vu I get playing is just too strong for comfort. This isn't necessarily the fault of Gaz however - the web has been pampered with thermospheric, near-impossible standards CC set. Ultimately that bar is far too high to be dethroned by two simple minigames.

Who knows - with a little time this may be the next 'Diablo' of incrementals. But for now, I give it a solid 'meh'.

3/5

It won't unlock 100,000
