Is Tiki Resort Worth Playing?
Sunday, July 11th, 2010Many people have wanted to live on their own island, and now thanks to Tiki Resort this is possible on your own computer. Tiki Resort is a brand new facebook game that was released in February 2010. Tiki Resort bears many similarities to Happy Island, which is also available on Facebook. Already Tiki Resort has over 500,000 players. The objective of the game is to build and maintain your own island. Visitors and guests will come to visit your island, and you need to make sure that they are happy. Tiki Resort could be considered a dumbed-down, more basic version of Happy Island. In the game, it is important to build a lot of attractions in order to get visitors. You take care of your visitors by clicking on them individually, and finding out what they want. Other than attractions, you can also build decorations. It is also possible to get various pets and charms. Examples of attractions would be a night club, or a mini golf stand. But not all attractions are born equal - they all cost different amounts, and some of them will bring in more visitors than others. So you will need to take this into account when playing the game.
It seems like that Tiki Resort will continue to grow, because the game is designed to attract more and more players. When you play it you will notice that it keeps bugging you to invite your friends. This is typical of most facebook games. Many of the really addictive facebook games (like Farmville) are able to get new people playing them through general word of mouth. Tiki Resort is getting more and more players each day. Even with over half a million players, it still has less than 1% as many players as the top facebook game (Farmville).
So by now you probably want to know how to get really good at this game. Many people take the easiest possible option and just try to look for Tiki Resort cheats. I would not recommend doing this. Hacks, cheats and exploits for games often lead to a lot of problems. Also, it is going to look really suspicious if you suddenly have this incredible island. It also takes away the fun of the game if you do not play it properly.
A better alternative to using cheats is to get yourself a decent Tiki Resort walkthrough. Because Tiki Resort is so new, you will have some difficulties finding a good guide. But do not despair. The other alternative is to play the game yourself and find out what works. No amount of good Tiki Resort tips will really be as good as the knowledge you get when you play the game a lot.
Finally it is worth mentioning that you should try not to take these games too seriously. Spending serious money on a simple facebook game is not recommended. There are many payers of games like World of Warcraft that spend many thousands of dollars on gold and in-game currency, and they will play 14 hours or more each day on the game. So I would recommend not playing Tiki Resort too much even if you like the game a lot. You will enjoy the game if you only play it in conjunction with other things.
