App description

This game allows players to navigate various characters (from the Hotel Transylvania animated TV series) through a platform style hotel, filled with obstacles and monsters. Left and right movement (and jump) is achieved through pressing the relevant onscreen buttons. Monsters can be killed by jumping on them or shooting slime-like balls. Coins, Gems and Keys are collected throughout which can be used to renovate your hotel and unlock features. The aim of the game is to find all of the Wolf Pups in the hotel (to stop them from causing trouble) and to renovate the hotel.

Reviewers comments

The biggest concern for parents with this game is the saturated advertising. Not only is there a constant banner ad in the pre-game screens, but there are ads between screen transitions and rewards can be earned for watching clip ads (particularly for reviving your life to continue through the level). There are also quite a lot of in-app purchases available. Although there is a horror theme, the game and characters are very cute looking and may not cause much of a concern. However, some parents may not be comfortable with coffins tied with bows (like presents) which contain gifts.
