[Insert cool title here]
Sun Aug 21 2022 fhfhdfufufuuduFirst, I LOVE this game, even though it’s not original. (At all) Second, why you should download this; again, even though very un-original, still fun at the least, I like the “garden theme” and even though still one of those games who have ads with people who edit it to look different JUST to hook you, lemme give you a pat on the back, then turn that back into your front (Turn you around) then shove you forward down the lane I like to call “Just blame the “add makers.”” lane. But hey, don’t go down THAT lane ether, it’s not they’re fault. It’s just their job. (Make you wanna download) ps: So so so so sorry on how “UNBELIEVABLY LONG” text I wrote. Believe when I say; that I want it that a-way. Sorry, but seriously though, believe when I say; I’m tired too. Only instead tired of WRITING not READING. Any way, even though this review was BARELY EVEN ABOUT THE GAME, just know that I love it. If you’re reading this and your NOT a game dev, one; GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT. And two; you should download and play. (Please.
And if you are; just know that I LOVE this game.
OR I WILL FIND YOU!)
Too many Ads/Slows Phone Down
Sun Apr 24 2022 kyleeantoinetteThe game itself is great. But there are literally too many ads for honestly anyone to handle. I pause it for a second, or just hit the settings button; Ad. Finished a level; Ad. Click on ANYTHING and want to go back to the previous page? Ad. And most people will not pay $6 for an app to not have ads. Especially when that app slows your entire phone down. Ever since I had downloaded it, it made EVERYTHING lag on my phone. Deleted the app/game, and now my phone hasn’t slowed down since. So I’m not sure if it was just to many gigs, or used up so much storage, or what? All I know is that I have only used up 2.0 out of the 5.0 GB on my iCloud, and my phone was perfectly fine before downloading this game and after erasing it. I never leave reviews. But I really wanted to let everyone know about these serious issues regarding this game… Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
Requires too much money!
Wed Oct 19 2022 sirificI absolutely LOVE this game…but, it requires too much money to play. Unless you’re a puzzle master, you will get very frustrated at how quickly your lives empty out, as well as your fake coins. Unless, of course, you pay pay pay! I know this is run of the mill for most games, and for this reason I am very picky about the games I play, but the only games I stick with are the good ones that don’t require so many payments.
It also feels like you get screwed twice, because you first have to buy or earn (which takes forever) coins in order to play for more than a couple minutes, but then your coins are taken and turned into puzzle pieces. So as you finish more levels, your coins diminish to “buy” the puzzle pieces that you’ve “earned”. It feels like you’re being screwed over twice.
I’ve really enjoyed this game, but am going to delete it from my phone due to the payment/earning/coin scheme. It really feels like you’re being scammed a lot more than other games.
Scam
Tue Jul 26 2022 Shugga45At first I thought it was a glitch so I made comment about the game cutting off in mid play but then it suddenly had lives that you could lose. Well with the game cutting off in mid play you lose a life no fault of your own. Then they ask if you want to use all of the coins you’ve earned to get more lives or watch a video for free lives. The videos constantly flash loading and never come up, so I guess you eventually spend your coins and then have to pay if you want to move forward. Well why would you do that if the game is CONSTANTLY glitching. I was about to even pay for ad-free play but I’m just going to delete this game. It’s great to play when it is working but it isn’t working more often than not. Send me some kind of ping when you guys get your game together. Smh
Ad-fest, even after paying for no ads!!
Sun Mar 26 2023 scc89Pro: Tile Garden IS. A very fun game, its well done, and enjoyable. Con: as other reviewers have noted, the number of ads is RIDICULOUS. And yes, there’s an “ad-free” upgrade, except it’s not even close to “ad free”. The developer claims that the ads you’re stuck with are “optional”, because they’re for “power ups”. That’s not entirely true, and even if it were, they’re still not truly “optional”.
Imagine playing Call of Duty or something similar, and you pay $9.99 to stop all the annoying 30-second pop-up ads between sections. Now imagine that to actually get ammunition, you have to watch an ad. Sure, you can play ad-free without ammo, but it’s gonna be more than a little frustrating, and progress slows to a glacial crawl. Is that ad-free? Not at all.
Also, they justify the remaining ads by saying it makes it “fair” to those who didn’t pay the $9.99 vs those who did, because EVERYONE has to watch them. But that’s obviously a lie because it’s not a competition between players!! I’m asking Apple for a refund for this deceptive game….which is a shame, because it’s otherwise fun.
Also, the game is BUGGY. It regularly says I’m out of slots when I DID have a 3-tile match with the last one I touched. Also, the ads regularly crash the game, too, and you have to restart the round. Maddening!
Glitch Glory
Mon Apr 11 2022 C1A9L8A7It’s great for passing time, but it must sense when I’m actually it, because it glitches just in time.
I’ll tap the watch an add to gain a tile, and after I watch it, it presents the X for me to go back to my game. Instead it tells me I’ll forfeit my extra tile if I leave after having watched a 30+ second ad. So it makes me sit through another one. Minor glitch… but when I resume my game some times it still won’t have given the extra tile. By the time I’ve watched a third ad, I’ve got to re figure my strategy.
The ad glitch is often… but the rare glitch is when I put my phone down at work and then come back to my game. Some times it opens up right where I left it. That’s GREAT, I hope that’s the intention! There are times, however, when the game refreshes and I have to re strategize a different game. Because I’m usually not paying attention I’m not even sure if it’s the same level or if they set me back because I’d leave a 6 level game and come back to just two small levels. 🤔
Kids today would call that SUS! I have it three stars because it’s annoying but still fun. As I get more annoyed it might come down before I just delete the game all together.
Used to be fun game but…
Mon Jul 31 2023 PickmehenThis game was fun before the recent change to more bothersome ads but they are driving me not to play this game anymore. The ads used to play between games or when you selected a boost. Now the ads happen mid game. Out of nowhere an ad will take you out of the game entirely and open up your safari without consent. They need to stay out of my other apps. And I don’t want to be stopped in the middle of play for their overabundant ads. Annoying to say the least. CHANGE THE ADS BACK TO THE WAY THEY WERE. When I don’t play, I don’t see your ads at all - not very effective marketing, is it?
Also, it would be nice and make sense if, when you clear down to the last layer of tiles, they just match up on their own, like solitaire games do when you have all the cards uncovered, because at that point you’ve won the game. It’s a small thing but would get me to the next game faster.
More ads than game time
Thu May 19 2022 no ad playerWorst gaming experience ever due to more ad time than game time. Don’t opt to pay to remove ads. Even if you pay for the ad free version it will not even cut down a tiny bit on ads. You will spend most of your gaming time watching ads that don’t time out and no way to close them to get back to the game. To claim a prize you won by playing you have to watch very very long ads, one after another. Up to 5 minutes of ads. You have to collect a puzzle peice to win. 9 times out of 10 there will be no way to get out of the ads and have to close the game losing that win and puzzle to start another game. You will be stuck in long ads more that you actually play. This is a fun game but the long ads kills it. I have never played a game with so many ads. Not worth it. Im deleting this annoying ad game and never downloading another game from Lion Studios again.
It’s not what I thought it was…..
Tue Jun 06 2023 Goober2012 :DThis is such a simple and cute game, but I do think that they false advertised. In the ad, it showed that the tiles were moving and you had to quickly match the tiles before they got to the line. But in the actual game, you’re not timed or anything. I just think it was less then I expected it to be. I have another tile matching game downloaded, and it’s basically the same idea. I also think that the art style is very basic, too. I just don’t think that there was very much effort put into this. There are also so many other tile-matching games that are so similar to this. I just don’t think it really sticks out to me that much. And I think for now, it is very easy. The other tile game I have has some difficulty to it, unlike this one.
Game is ok,but prepare to be bombarded with ads.
Mon Feb 12 2024 Disappointed ad heck im Wv💔I love maj jongg and this one has good features but Sweet Baby Jesus On His Glittering Pram-there is LITERALLY an ad every 30 seconds, even if you’re in the middle of a round! Also, the opportunities to watch an ad for a boost or power up disappeared with no warning or explanation. Oh, and the puzzle pieces you have to WATCH AN AD to get no longer lead to a puzzle so don’t waste your time-just click “lose it “ and move on.
Also the latest event disappeared on me after ONE DAY even though I was still playing it and the game page advertises that it’s currently running.
Lastly, the rounds are waaaaaaayyyyyyyy to simple. We need more events, a little variety. It would only take a fw small tweaks to get the game back to where it used to be.
