Facebook Game Review: Tiki Resort

Every so often your tourists will have a bubble that pops up over their head telling you a need they have. It might be wanting a snow cone or telling you about a charm or information about how you can improve your game. Snow cones will give you some experience at the expense of a few coins. You simply need to click on the snow cone and give it as a gift to the tourist. The people on your island are also messy and they will leave garbage all over the place so you can pick this up for some more coins in your pocket as well as a bit of experience. Your tourists will wander around checking out your island, taking pictures, and relaxing on the beach.

Tiki Resort looks good and the interface is very easy to learn. At the top left you have the name of your island and your current experience points and level. Below that you have the game options such as sound and resizing abilities. In the middle at the top you will find your current game coins, while at the right you can locate the number of charms you currently own. The bottom screen features the store, gifts, and to the far right the add neighbors icon.

Another part of this game is the charms which can be purchased in the game store. These items increase the happiness of your tourists as well as make them spend more money at your attractions. So for example the money charm makes a tourist pay +1 coins to that charmed attraction. Once you use a charm it is gone and you will need to buy another one and its unclear just how long a charm lasts for. The drink, pineapple, and Lei charm can be purchased with game cash which will be displayed in the charm box at the top right of your screen if you own any.
