It seem to me you must pay out in order to move up
Tue Aug 15 2023 Irvine BlossomWhy do some games like this one make it so hard to get through a game unless you pay something. I am about to delete this one. As you pass levels, they make it too hard to get by unless you pay out money. Tired of this. They need to make these a bit easier. I am just interested in the decorating part. I will be deleting this game shortly.
Update:
I did end up deleting this game then re- downloaded it back. They kept my level when i re- downloaded it. I decided to give it another try due to the fact the decorating of the garden is amazingly beautiful.
You can easily open chat and ask them how to get to next level and they do help with that by giving you insight into getting pasta hard level.
Another plus is that you can watch ads to continue. I hope they keep that so you can keep going forward.
Boosters
Thu Dec 21 2023 Update EnjoymentThis game started out great and was a refreshing storyline. Now you can’t even pass levels and no boosters are offered for completing the levels which you absolutely need. Why do we need to use 3 stars for 1 simple task? Also, the romance factor has died down. All they keep doing are planting more flowers and doing projects together. Getting very dull and boring and the storyline doesn’t advance quickly enough. You have to start giving out boosters to complete the levels. Otherwise this game is going by the wayside. Levels are too hard to pass!,, I finally deleted the I keep retrying this game with all of the new updates. You still need to offer more time to complete each puzzle level. Also, no great storyline. Gets boring. Have her house with new rooms to decorate and fix the town store by store as in the beginning. Fix the town up or something exciting to do. Other players feel the same way about the difficulty of the levels. We play these games not to be annoyed and frustrated but for enjoyment. I play match 3 games constantly so I really don’t need hint lessons. I deleted the game because you responses to reviews are ridiculous and not about updating any changes accordingly. Lastly, I agree with the disgusting advertising. Abuse isn’t something you should be showing for any reason but especially to play a This new update doesn’t change the complexity of the levels. Just more of the same.
100% pay to win!
Thu Mar 23 2023 Edgar800By the time you get to level 330, you will be out of coins and out of power ups, which they never give you any of them unless you pay. You will never beat level 330 unless you pay real money. Its actually insulting because they only give you 10 miserable moves on that level and it’s impossible to beat it unless you pay. I understand they need to make their money in order to keep doing updates and elevating the game, but the way developers are doing it its the most greedy and insulting way ive ever seen in any match 3 game. Only 10 moves? Really? Even though you can get additional seconds to help you out on that level, those seconds that you have to detonate are at the bottom of the board, so by the time you get to them you already be almost out of moves, so it’s worthless.
What’s sad about this is, this game has THE BEST match 3 board system. Runs smooth and its fast paced. I don’t think ive seen one this good. But unfortunately this is one of those greedy pay to win games and they aren’t even trying to hide it. It’s unfortunate because the story is good but im not a multimillionaire or a rich person to continuously throw money away on this games. Im not spending any more more on this. I guess i wont know how the story ends. Whoever came ip with this idea if forcing people to pay to continue playing, i hope the game cumbles and never becomes successful.
I liked this game.
Sat Jun 18 2022 Karen@33The storyline is a bit to silly. The adults are way to juvenile so I have started skipping some of that. The puzzle part of this game was fun & I could progress easily enough sometimes after two or three tries. Honestly though the 20 to 23 moves on this is just not enough. It is taking me too many tries now & be aware if the game offers a bomb to help beat the level that bomb is coming from the players own stash. I understand the developer wants to make money 💰 however I am not on higher levels & already having issues progressing. Just not enough moves here. I’m about to take a hard pass on this one.
I tried one more time. I am at a level where I have 27 moves to knock off 64 cartons & 12 tiles. Really? Impossible to do unless I use all my accumulated pinwheels & bombs plus purchasing time. No I won’t purchase time for $9 & still not be able to get past this. Honestly if the player is skilled should be able to beat this without using any extras. Even if I get to the third panel the developer makes sure there are no matching symbols. It is so blatantly a cash grab. Even if the characters were interesting & they are not would I recommend this game. Like 12 year olds & their first crush.
Please be careful with this one folks. I don’t think I could beat this level if I spent $100. I won’t give them a nickel.
Addictive but sorta sets you up
Sun Oct 09 2022 shellbellz84This game is surely addictive. It’s fun and I do love playing it. It gets harder and harder and that is challenging but challenging is good and fun! My only real complaint about it is I never have been one to buy in app purchases for anything ever! I have bought some in this game ( addictive and you just can’t give up. Sorta bends your arm different ways til you do so lol) jk. No but seriously, you want to keep going. Well I’m the Provo of each time I have bought in app purchases I have been having issues since first time. I get double charged or it didn’t add to my balance so I try it again and I will see more than one charge;yet the app acts as if only the one purchase bought will load, I also have had where, multiple times I buy one package and I’m charged on more than one act from my wallet iv yet to be refunded anything or gifted nicely gifted. I would use it anyways. I’m committed but now broke and am going to have to cut back on playing. You allot need the booster/power ups an extra move for many levels.
super addicting!
Tue Jun 14 2022 circuscrimei recently discovered this game from a beautifully animated ad on instagram, and i’ve become attached to it. not just because i’m a sucker for match 3 games, but also the graphics and art style are pleasing to look at (i can tell a lot of effort was put into the different little animations and portraits of the characters!), there’s an interesting and fun story to follow along with, and the levels are fun and relatively easy to complete. even if it’s a hard or super hard level, it’s not impossible, and i can beat it after a few tries with a stroke of luck. like i said before, the graphics for this game are beautiful; a lot of thought was put into each renovation you do and allows you to pick and choose from various different styles to create your perfect image. normally i’d be frustrated with games where you have to beat levels in order to gain enough points to progress because the levels are too hard to beat, but along with the in-game groups mechanic of requesting lives without having to redirect to a third-party app such as facebook, and occasionally receiving infinite lives for an allotted amount of time from an event, the levels are not impossible to beat given enough tries and luck. overall i really enjoy this game! well done!
Please lose the silly fake ads
Tue Aug 30 2022 FL flipflopsThis is a great game. I played it when it first came out but got rid of it when the levels got difficult but the amount of moves didn’t increase.
I’m glad I gave it another try. Game play is faster, and levels seem more fair. The main character has some different looks now, and I like that.
I’m just sad that the icon has the same silly fake sad drama like other games in this genre. You have a good solid game, you don’t need to have these silly fake dramas! If you want to stand out, use a happy cheerful picture instead. I’m so tired of all these cheated on, left to freeze with a baby images of heroines. It seems dishonest to me, because it looks like a story is being advertised that is not actually encountered during regular gameplay.
I do appreciate that the developers have improved the game. I enjoy playing it, it’s a charming and pleasant game. I wonder if others would appreciate a more cheerful image on their device as well?
Cute but corny story, but too stingy on earning stars
Sun Sep 01 2024 Violette L LI understand the app developers want to make $, but the game is so slow as you only earn 1-2 stars per game (and sometimes it takes multiple times to play the same level) who has that much time in a day to play an app?! And each time you use stars to progress the story line, it takes 2-4 stars!! So you spend about 1-1.5 hours a day to move the storyline just a little… I paid about $5 to buy booster packs, but they don’t help much.. so sad, as I’d like the game otherwise.
Suggestion to the app developers: either lower the star amount to progress in the game, or offer more star rewards on hard levels or add stars to paid booster packs. GardenScapes offers ingame 3-5 star rewards and got me paying like $10+ a month for booster packs… so, you may earn more $ if you get users more interested & having fun with your game and following the storyline.
Good game, but why are you advertising it like this?
Wed Oct 26 2022 LuckylittlecatThe game itself is funny and cute so far (I only started today), but some of the ads for it are disgusting. Earlier today, I saw a particularly ugly ad with a husband beating his wife and kids and then kicking a dog. At the end of the ad, the game was called “Garden Affairs: Why She Kills.” None of this is appropriate for a game rated ages 4+, and the game description doesn’t mention domestic violence or any kind of murder mystery. Even the game icon doesn’t match the actual game. (If you want to advertise a game like that, I suggest you make a different game and label it as being for older audiences.) I also think the flames over the characters’ heads when they get mad are a little bit much. But I do appreciate that they appear over the guys’ heads as well as the girls’ (thank you for not keeping up the “angry woman” stereotype!).
GRAPHIC, VIOLENT, & AGE RATING 4+????
Sat Aug 05 2023 tigbitties6969this game has an age rating of 4+ when it displays very graphic & violent content, especially in the ads. i’ve seen several different ads for this game and it’s either a woman and her child being beaten by her husband, women & children in distress, and in one ad i saw, a dog and her puppy(who was missing it’s back legs) standing on the side of the street when suddenly the momma dog runs out into the street and gets hit by a car. then, it shows the two-legged puppy crying over its mother’s bloody corpse. i saw these ads while playing Cats&Soup, a game that actually IS for children. the game developers who make these ads are very insensitive to children and people who are sensitive to such graphic content (such as myself, i’m autistic and VERY sensitive to graphic content and even go out of my way to avoid it) there are tons of other people who have been leaving reviews like mine from YEARS ago and still nothing has been done about it. these game developers are SICK, ABLEIST, and HAVE NO CARE FOR CHILDREN WHATSOEVER.
