What I like/love:
There are a few different types of match puzzles to play, and that variety alone keeps the game more refreshing than your typical match-3 games. The adventures are fun, and while they’re fairly similar and repetitive, it doesn’t always feel that way. You just feel busy, and I like that a lot! Many games I’ve played tend to feel stale once they hit that point of repetition, but this game manages to mask it well enough. This is also probably the first puzzle game I’ve played where I’ve had more fun on the adventures (doing puzzles and scavenging) than building my character’s home/village. The graphics and animations are also adorable! Especially the little animals (fams) you can collect throughout the gameplay.
About staff support:
Whenever I’ve had issues they’ve been very supportive and generous. My issues have always been addressed, fixed, or made up for with gifts from the support team. I’ve personally never been dissatisfied with their help.
Why it’s not perfect:
Editing the home/village isn’t the easiest process. It’s quite tedious and there’s nothing to help the process move along any faster (when you’re trying to do a lot at once, like build fences or move buildings around). There’s also a lot of landscape (trees, bushes, etc) when you unlock new lands that will only disappear if you place an item over them. Otherwise, they’re always there. It can be cute either the smaller foliage, but sometimes there’s giant hillocks or groups of trees and there’s just no removing them unless you place an item on them (and then remove it if you want the space totally clear). Crafting items can also take a while, especially when crafting higher level items. It also makes decorating tedious because you have to pause every time you need more materials or items to craft more. Coloring items is a neat feature, but for repetitive items (like fencing) you have to color each individual piece, which means crafting a color potion for each piece you want colored (instead of one bottle coloring a line of connected fencing). Aside from decorating issues, the chat menu is a little weird to operate. It’s not hard to figure out but it isn’t the smoothest thing either. As for total gameplay, there isn’t much instruction so you have to figure out a lot on your own. It can get very confusing at times, but customer support has always been super helpful whenever I had questions.
Overall:
This is a really fun game!! Any issues I have are mostly unimportant, and more personal gripes than overall issues. I highly recommend this game, especially if you love puzzles and you’re looking for a game to relax and lose yourself in.
