We’ve all watched those home renovation shows on TV and thought, “I could easily fix that dump up and make an absolute killing.” Well, now you can actually prove it without destroying your real life credit score. House Flipper the massive PC hit has finally made its way to mobile, and it’s easily the most addictive pocket sized renovation simulator out there. You are a one person wrecking crew, interior designer, and real estate mogul all rolled into one.
GET YOUR HANDS DIRTY
Before you start flipping sprawling suburban mansions, you have to put in the grunt work. The game throws some wildly entertaining, bizarre odd jobs your way to get your business off the ground. One minute you’re scrubbing up after Eleanor Moore’s herd of overly artistic pets, and the next, you’re bailing out squatters in a totally ruined house or restoring a snooty art connoisseur’s private museum. It’s hilarious, weirdly relaxing, and completely hooks you into the daily renovation grind.
TEAR IT DOWN, DRESS IT UP
Once you haul out the trash and slap on a fresh coat of paint, you actually get to flex your interior design skills. You aren’t just stuck choosing between two boring couches, either. The game packs over 500 completely adorable pieces of furniture and decor to unlock.
The absolute best part? The developers hid hilarious, weird little backstories in the item descriptions. Ever wonder why a Babylonian invader is buying cheap souvenirs, or what a cat has to do with writing haikus? You’ll find out while browsing the catalog. Arranging all of this in super smooth, 60 FPS 3D graphics feels fantastic.
Scrubbing digital grime with a basic mop gets old fast, but the progression system totally saves the day. As you knock out client orders, you level up your skills and upgrade your gear to speed up the tedious stuff. Why scrub until your virtual hands cramp when you can unlock heavy duty gloves made of hardened “smurf leather”?
As you unlock better items, you also get to completely trick out your own personal headquarters. Want a sleek, minimalist modern office? Done. Want to drop a massive, ceiling high cat tree right in the middle of your living room? Go for it. It’s your space.
BUY, FIX, FLIP, PROFIT
Here is the real meat of the game. Once you save up enough cash and Flipcoins from dealing with other people’s messes, you can finally buy your own disaster zones. You snag these incredibly ugly, run down properties, completely gut them, and turn them into absolute masterpieces. You can either keep your favorite flip as your new custom haven, or march straight to the real estate agency and negotiate a massive payout. Whether you’re polishing up the Crimson Corner or clearing out a literal trash heap, watching that profit margin hit your bank account is ridiculously satisfying.
Grab your sledgehammer and get to work.
