Fun, but can you make some changes?
Please make it possible for players to save up that blue-lightning Energy (for events in the bottom right map symbol), and to use what Energy they earn, and use it in any present and future event. Thanks if that’s already permitted! This game has been fun and artistic, but do you developers mind making some changes? Like making opportunities for “getting justice for the Mom and Daughter” occur FAR more often (like it shows in the ads)PLEASE, make levels MUCH easier (which makes it more relaxing), make available and put all past ingame profile pictures with the beginning available profile pictures (being able to be purchased with 300 ingame coins each to acquire) so that they won’t be unavailable and unaquirable to later gamers, and please…make this game free of money-charge opportunities. Not all players can spend money on games, so please don’t ask that of us…but putting in an option for more fortunate people to donate is fine. And it would be nice if in the future, you give players the option to walk around (like characters who walk around in this game’s map events) as themselves, using the character that they had chosen for their profile picture. But it being optional, not in irreversible replacement of how the butler and the townsfolk at times look up and talk to you.

Great game…but could be AWESOME
I really enjoy this game with beautiful graphics, thoughtful stories, and appreciate no ads. But I agree with others’ feedback: hard levels shouldn’t take days to beat, I miss the mini games (which are what I thought I was getting as the game, based on the ads that brought me to it), and the adventures seem impossible to beat without spending cash (let alone completing both the path and the collections). All power-ups should be chosen from within the level—as you play (not before you start the level and don’t know what you’re facing or will need). ‘Challenge’ levels should be optional (without saving special boosters, most are just a waste of life). Rewards of timed unlimited lives should be “banked” like bombs, where you have to choose when to use them—not automatically applied. This is a BIG problem! Sometimes you only have 5-10 minutes to play and can’t use another 10-60+ minutes of free lives at that moment. Wasted! I play on my phone so just touching the screen “accepts” them before I can even leave the app. Helping strangers with free lives or team rewards is cool, but you shouldn’t be competing *against* them for 1st, 2nd, 3rd place rewards! My team has become few and less active, so I’m mostly here playing solo with an extra 1-2 free lives. I didn’t choose this as a competitive game, or team effort game, so making it harder with less free help for solo play is one of the things that may cause me to quit.

Now impossible to enjoy without spending $$
It used to be possible to play this game and get on a winning streak (which is what makes it fun) without spending money. Every challenge level came with a 15-minute booster which gave you incentive to want to beat them (even if it did mean paying extra for 5 more moves). Beating regular levels gave you 50 coins. Now it feels like Playrix is screwing players over by removing everything we could get that actually made the game fun to play. 10 coins for beating a normal level, when 5 extra moves still costs 900, is an absolute joke. Endless magic hat with only three possible boosters, and no more treasure hound? I’m not sure what you’re trying to achieve, but all you’ve done is made the game much harder, much less enjoyable, and left a bitter taste in the mouths of everyone who used to be regular players. Keeping play accessible keeps people in the game longer, and when they’re invested they’re more likely to spend money. As it is, you’ve basically ruined everything I used to enjoy about this game and if I continue playing (very debatable), I will not be spending another cent unless you bring back actual meaningful rewards for play. Thanks for nothing.

Hello, We're currently running tests in the game as part of an effort to explore new ways to enhance events and rewards for our players🙏 We appreciate your understanding and hope you'll stay with us—we have plenty of exciting things in store!
Avoid if you have an Apple device
I have been playing for years and used to love the game. I have made it over level 15,450 and spent way too much money over the years. I didn’t mind because it was fun and entertaining. However, with each update it is clear that Playrix is only getting more greedy. Boosters and coins are more expensive to purchase for less. Now, they have taken away the option to reset a gain before making a move without losing boosters and a life. Our previous mini games, like renovations, have stopped and disappeared from our history. They took away garden league and replaced it with bowling match, doesn’t sound like a big deal until you realize many teams are cheating or are made up of bots and playrix refuses to do anything about it. They constantly have Expeditions as side games but they are ridiculously expensive to pass with in game coins and almost impossible to beat without spending real money. I am so frustrated with the game that I am no longer going to spend real money on it and have greatly decreased the frequency I play it. This used to be my “go to” game and now it’s a “if I’m really bored, I’ll think about playing” game. So disappointed that Playrix has chosen greed over player enjoyment.
Trying to contact support and actually reach a human, not a bot, is almost impossible. When you do finally reach a real person they are either unable to help because of Playrix rules or just don’t care.

Fun but buggy
Update: The bugs I mentioned below for fixed. However, in the newest update, they changed the interface for quitting the level and made it so your muscle memory for tapping on a button makes you tap the button for spending coins for extra turns. I have lost about 3000 coins that way when I was nowhere close to finishing the level and would obviously not have chosen to get the extra turns. I know they’re in it to make money but that just feels evil to me so I’m going to stop playing.
I have been playing this game for a year or two and it is enjoyable. Recently I’ve noticed some bugs that are really frustrating. Both are about not giving you the promotional rewards you’re supposed to get. When there is a time period when you are supposed to get double of one of the currencies, on random rounds when I win, it doesn’t double the currency. More frustrating, when there is an event that rotates rewards for collecting something (currently snowballs) whenever the reward is an amount of time of infinite dynamite/rainbow blaster, it doesn’t pay out when you achieve it. This has happened to me in two separate events. I spent a lot of my in-game currency to keep my earned power blasters to help me continue through the levels and collect enough to earn the big reward, and all I got was that I had less currency. I’ll try to remember for next time not to bother getting tempted by it. I would be really angry if I had spent actual money to progress in the game.

Enjoyable up until a point, but love it.
This game is so nice to play to relax to. The garden renovation really helps to give me ideas for my own future garden! The music is excellent, especially the night time music and a certain theme when playing the levels. Competitions are really fun, and the stories for almost all the characters makes the game very unique. Reason for a missing star, is due to how hard the levels are now after going over 1,000. While there obviously needs to be a challenge so we aren’t waiting for new content if we have caught up, but it’s gotten to the point where even regular levels feel like super hard levels. And Hard, Super Hard, and Challenge levels seems to be even more common. Sometimes I’m finding myself using all 3 power ups and three to four 5 extra moves to beat one level, which has honestly taken some of the fun away from the game. Some levels give you very little moves to use, and/or not a lot of choices to move the fruit to make progress. I get you have to make profit somehow, but these levels recently seem almost impossible to beat now. I was able to boost through some levels when the Magic Hat came on with two Rainbows, but after that, I am at a dead end.

Here are some general tips that might help 👉 https://plrx.me/YlRbZ6LtnO We hope this helps! Enjoy your gaming ✨
This game was totally different in the ads
OK, so I download this game a couple months ago because I kept seeing it all over and I’m like I’ll try it. Why not but completely different me wrong. I love it. I love the graphic designs on it. It’s beautiful, but I’m not a big fan of it I mean, yes you do get to play some of the mini games it shows on the ad itself but only a little bit. My mom also has scam and I guess she thought it was different but it is puzzling but not as puzzling as I like it. I like my games challenging, but I’m not big fan of doing this to me, but I do want to ask her and once I ask her, I’ll check back but this game is although super fun. It is calming and relaxing, but I do wish the game was a bit more interesting the games that shows on the ad itself but I just don’t like games that are like shows you different things on the ads to make a game seem interesting and says that it’s like the same thing when you download the game I think they’re doing that so they can get more people hooked onto the game and I don’t say no ads, there are fullscreen ads all the time and some of my games and it’s annoying. This game isn’t really that it gives you a couple ads every once in a while but not a lot. I just wish that there would be a few more puzzles like it shows on the ad and hopefully the developers respond to this because I would love this fixed and I have no other complaints about this game or problems with it. It’s normal to me.

Best game ever if you wanna think royal matches better than this, I don’t think so. I think that this is the best game ever real match. Yes, it has zero ads zero Internet but this I find it the best game ever you could take this on train boats anything just don’t drop your phone or else you really won’t be able to play this game but now you can download this game just watch and your parents will be like what let me see these ratings. This looks like nothing to me. They look at it and they see all these good ratings now you try this game out for yourself and find out about these ratings. Do you like oh yeah yes Katie yes Jeffrey you got that, that’s down pack. You got it now. Download this game right now now I have to stop talking now because I need to try this new game out that I’ve been playing. I cannot stop playing. I’m on a really high level now. If you think you can be my level 543 then you are very good but I don’t think so yet I think you might because you’re gonna love this game so much now come on. You’re gonna get this in love now.

Hi London! It makes our day to hear that you’ve been enjoying Gardenscapes! Feedback like yours does make a big difference, and helps us make sure the game is fun for everyone 👩💻Wishing you the best of luck with your game 💚
Pretty Good
It’s a great game and I did not get it from looking at the adds my sister has been playing for years and has a really big garden so she suggested it to me. But now that I see the adds it’s kind of a scam for one thing the stuff they show on ads are mini games and people only have them every 10-20 levels plus the mini games are not nearly as fun or long as they seem to be most of the time when I beat a normals level it either gives me a super hard level that I get stuck on or it keeps giving me easier levels so that you finally get stuck on a level. If you download Gardenscapes it may seem easy at first but it gets harder and harder every day take it from me I’m on level 519 and most of the time I open the app I get stuck on a level and trust me I’m not a bad player I have tons of match games that I’m on a high level in but for some reason Gardenscapes is the hardest. Right now I’m stuck on a level. A good thing about Gardenscapes is that it has a lucky spin every day most of the time you get pretty good stuff depending on the level you use it. But sometimes they have fun seasons that give you better and better rewards every time you beat a level but the minute you lose one they all disappear which is pretty annoying especially when you’re on a level that gives you 3 stars when you beat it ( those levels are always hard but when you have tons of rewards and lose it’s really annoying.).

It’s not bad, but NOTHING LIKE THE ADDS… 😭
Okay so this game is super fun I’ve been playing it for a few years now , but my one and only complaint is that this game is nothing like it shows in the adds you can only do what is shown in the adds in the mini games , which isn’t really fair because even the icon of the game has a picture of the mini games and that picture doesn’t really show how the mini games really go . The game is about helping a gardener restore his childhood home and also I’ve seen ads that say this game needs no WiFi and has no ads . That is not true , maybe Playrix, the developer could keep this game , change the icon maybe and if possible make another game that’s jsut as shown in the ads with a different name and icon and different ads Update: this is just my perspective of the game and what I would like , possibly not your idea of the game, and I would love a response from the developer, Playrix but I overall absolutely love this game. Update from I few years later: playrix, please make the stuff said in the adds true. Um also yes even the game gossip harbour isn’t like the adds but the adds, the girl and mom are the same? Why? Also the real game tbh is boring, the adds show something so fun tho! Why can’t you make an app like that? Please? I will give it five stars and a wholesome review 🥰 so please Playrix, (side note, the game is still awesome just not my kind of game)
