Let's get creating!
The game is beautiful and has really engaging graphics and events. I did manage to get to Tier 8 but it's so hard to move forward without purchasing or using your gems. It became frustrating because on the main Home Screen things just don't regenerate fast enough to progress and some of the items you need to create the upgrades are so high in energy value it uses it all and you still are left short for the rest of the items. I thoroughly enjoyed playing but it's become too hard and time consuming to achieve any more levels. Cheers to amazing game developers for not flooding us with unwanted Ads and when we do watch them for rewards towards play.

Stolen money out of my bank
Update: I have had to remove all banking information from my device because this game is making purchase’s without my permission and apple refuses to refund the money back.
got charged $9.99 this morning at 1:16am my phone went flat and it was charging and I got an emailed notification for an apple bill receipt to my other phone. This is the 5th charge they’ve given me and my bank can’t do anything they’ve told me to sort it out with apple. Apple is refusing to give my money back I am not subscribed to anything to be receiving these purchases this game is stealing my money

Hate the new island
The complete redesign of home island is awful, the shaman trades are no longer around from what I can see, I hate the trading with the beavers, everything on my island has been moved and I have to figure out which devices do what, and some of the items are now locked when they were all unlocked before!! I also have to clear out entire areas again!! Not to mention I have to piece by piece put this giant hedge maze into my storage because I don’t like it and it takes up half my space.
I had my island decorated so nicely and had left the edges alone with the autumn and cherry blossom trees and i liked it that way, now my entire island has been leveled and it looks horrible, I’ve played this game for years and now everything is completely ruined. Why completely upheave people’s personalized islands ?? I’ve looked through everything and had to figure out where everything is now and honestly I think I’ll just delete the game if they don’t plan to change it back. I cant play the game like this.
**Update; they also forced me through the islands !! I take my time and take all the resources from every island before moving on to the next, and they have forced all of them into completed status and locked me from them to get me to the last two islands they have available !!! Absolutely awful choices, how did you think this was a good idea ???

Would help if I could play……
So the game is alright and was doing fine until day before yesterday. I go to open the game and absolutely nothing happens! Can’t play it! I come on to the game through another game and have a time limit on getting through levels here. Not much good if I can’t even open it.
Update: I’m able to play again but I still won’t give 5 stars because it’s too darn expensive to play this game. Once you run out of energy, especially during an event that you’ve worked hard at…..it becomes extremely depressing. Spent way too much money just trying to accomplish some certain thing that must be done before you can go on. I haven’t been able to finish an event yet! It’s ridiculous! I understand you want to make money on this but you’ve gone way overboard! I’m on a fixed income so I can’t just spend spend spend. The game was fun, but it’s now very depressing. Thank the lord I only have one more level to complete to get my bonus from my original game so I can delete this game! I would have kept it, but you people are greedy. Your game is no longer fun like a game should be. That’s sad. So people, download it if you want, it is a fun game with great graphics, but plan on spending a lot of money if you ever want to get anywhere with it!

Was fun until you get addicted and start spending money !!!
This game was great until you reached higher levels then it gets (at least for myself ) addictive you want to pass the levels so you spend some money but the higher the levels the more resources needed to pass levels. The amount it takes to complete some is sooo ridiculous to me that once you pass the mission it’s crazy how first off you don’t get the same amount of power per prize box item as I did when I first started the game it’s like now that I’ve reached a higher level instead of getting more energy I get less per prize box or barrels is really making me hate the game. Just glad they dropped the price to purchase card packs it had gone up but I noticed it went back down. I guess they just did it towards end of last card game to make it more difficult for people to complete. Game is fun but once you spend more than $10…… I say it’s not a fun free game anymore. Just to pass one part of the mission you have to spend like 10,000 in energy yet when you complete that part the fact that you don’t even get have that back in the prize area for completing is very upsetting and frustrating. These new updates need to actually make the players feel happy not dissatisfaction and disappointment. Developers do better and stop being so money hungry 🤬🤬

Game is a Rip-off. Do not download.
I recently played this game and it has been a deeply frustrating experience. It's blatantly clear that the primary goal of this game is to drain your wallet rather than provide an enjoyable gaming experience. The tasks are intentionally designed to be excessively tricky and nearly impossible to complete without spending money. Progression feels like hitting a brick wall unless you're willing to shell out cash for in-game purchases. It’s disheartening to see a game prioritize profit over player satisfaction. Save your time and money—there are far better games out there that respect both.

Love this but….
Absolutely love this game, it’s quickly become one of my favourite games, it’s fun , sweet, engaging and enjoyable but the energy needed to complete the game is ridiculous, I’m on level 25 and I’ve barely touched my own island mainly because there’s always an event going on that requires you to travel to other islands and use all your energy to complete that but I’ve not completed an event yet because the need for energy to complete the tasks jumps exponentially after the first island in most events and unless you spend real money or you’ve been able to upgrade your house sufficiently then you don’t get enough energy to do anything, there’s plenty of things to do to get extra energy but you have to complete things like the merchants requests or open the treasure gates , all of which require energy to get the components to complete. I love the events in game but there’s so much going on at once I never know where to concentrate said energy on which as I said previously either ends up with me not completing the events or having barely touched or built anything on my home island, it’s just so frustrating

Too Expensive
Great game but to get anywhere or do event islands you need too spend and spend lots. Developers keep replaying to neg feedback like this saying you can do it for free, which is true if basically you take years to build anything and do no event islands. The more you spend the more they Jack the prices as well. Would be awesome if prices were cheaper.

Endless frustration
While the essence of the game is fun, it is definitely one that’s intended to trick you and make you spend money. The rules change, so while strategy is important, what happens for a couple of weeks or couple of months changes without being explained. They do explain certain aspects of updates, but not a lot of the big differences during different events. Players then work for outcomes that suddenly don’t happen anymore. Additionally, if I continue to play I am going to feel the need to screen record the entire time. On the parts that do have clear rules, the game will sometimes not work as it should. When support is contacted, they tell you that everything is as it should be from their end when I know for a fact that it didn’t happen correctly on the players end. Perhaps there’s some part of the coding they’re not looking into when they respond. I’ve only reached out twice in my time playing the game, but have let several other instances pass without bothering them. Lastly, things that are a game of “chance” are not as they appear. For instance, prize wheels that you spin are not at all randomized although they are fully manipulated to make the player think that they are. This game is made to sneakily make you waste your efforts on what is already pretty stingy. Worse than a casino where the house always wins.
