Kiki's Vacation

I really love the art style and I think the 3D with the 2D is unique and I love the unique characters and there charm. Tho I will agree with other players that there can be something done with the fishing net for collecting shells. Maybe if you save up enough shells you can upgrade your net and get more? Also, maybe there can be unlockable clothing for watching a certain amount of ads or you can pay for them with shells? Just a few suggestions. Otherwise I love the games unique characters and art style, it’s adorable and lovely and it’s a unique concept to. I don’t mind waiting for the shells since I’m patient and usually do other things while passing the time to wait for them, but an hour does seem a bit long and you’ll still get the same number of shells? I can understand how this annoys some people. Also, another thing. When I go fishing at the dock near the home all I get is trash. I rarely get a fish but so far I’ve collected almost 41 trash pieces from fishing alone. Can you please up the fish rate for fishing at the dock near the home? I’m tired of getting trash.

I’ve been playing this game for a couple days now and I love it!! I actually love that the game is in real time. I love to check in on my island periodically throughout the day just to see what everyone is up to. I love that you don’t play as a character, you more so just interact with them. I think the concept of characters in game move and play on their own is actually really refreshing because you never know what they will do! It is really cool buying things from the shop and waiting to see what Kiki will do with it. I also greatly appreciate all the ways to get shells in this game. Most games I have found, if you want something cool or if you don’t want to spend a week grinding for in game money, you have to spend “real” money and it gets frustrating. The artwork is absolutely adorable and I actually really like that there is some “mature” content. Makes the characters more relatable and less meh and bland. I think it’s hilarious. One of the most entertaining games I have found in a really really long time. My absolute new favorite!!

I haven’t gotten too far into the game yet, but I love it! It’s a much better fit for me than Tsuki’s Adventure is, but they both have their merit. I echo the suggestions I saw on another review to include clothing for Kiki and a way to increase shell collection permanently (maybe a super expensive upgrade? Something to work toward). I also LOVE the graphics, the 3D + 2D reminds me of one of my favorite video game series (Paper Mario). Kiki and the characters have funny and often relatable dialogue that’s full of personality. and I love that the game has a female fitness buff, because in animal crossing, only male villagers are like that!

When i first downloaded this game, I had no suspicions. But as i progressed into the game, I noticed many similarities between this game and other AC games. I am not bothered by the island concept that much because many games are island based, but I take it as proof that this game could be copying AC games. To start off, I went to the shop, and, although I do not remember the shopkeepers name, he said something along the lines of “Check out my ware, dear friend.” This stood out to me because Tom Nook says this in Animal Crossing Wild World— as an avid AC fan, I just could not miss this. I think (Maybe?) They could have chose to use text from ACWW as it is old so less people would notice. Another thing I noticed was the pelican mailman, named ‘mailman’. There is a pelican named Pete in AC games that delivers mail. I also noticed the chat boxes are designed like that of AC and the text in the chat boxes has the Animal Crossing font. I do not hate Hyperbeard games— in fact, I play them a lot, but this just has me disappointed. One more thing before I go— the timing is something else I take as evidence. An island themed Hyperbeard game around the time Animal Crossing New Horizons was released..? Hm. It makes me think.

I think I encountered a glitch? My duster was taken for the second time, and I didn’t pay it right away when I read the dialogue for it. Now whenever I tap the ransom note I get the same dialogue but it doesn’t give me the option to pay the shells to get my duster back. Hopefully this either fixes itself or it gets fixed in an update. Edit: The glitch got weird today. Then I entered the game Kiki was using the duster like I had gotten it back, so to see if the game had fixed itself I had her fish. At first her character totally disappeared until I asked her to fish a second time. When I reloaded the area the ransom note was back and the duster was gone, and I still can’t pay the ransom. Please help!
