They could do better
The game is fun. It is addictive. It becomes a letdown pretty quickly. After you get into the game the energy expenses are outrageous. I understand that this is a business but they are greedy. There are times when I can get less than 30 seconds of gameplay with a full bar of energy. You have to spend money to get through many of the little adventure much less if you want to do more than just the bare minimum. It cost over 100 energy to blast some things that are required for the quests. Even though the game is fun I do not recommend it. If you are looking for a game that you can actually enjoy for free or minimal investment and not one that induces anxiety over the energy cost of playing, do not pick this one!Show lessladysilver
Me too
The game is fun, the graphics are great and the quests could be enjoyable BUT like everyone else, not enough energy to get very far in the special events! I even skipped two events and collected energy hoping it would help. But for instance, one quest in a special event takes 42 to open pond then 24 to fish. This has to be done 6 times to finish one part. My energy storage is 79! There are areas for collecting energy, but few compared to requirements. And you only get 60 hours to complete the entire story, which has about 100 or more of these types of tasks! It would be ok if we got more time, and could work on it until finished. On top of the impossible nature of events, this energy use is on top of the home quests and home map which also need energy!Show lessNjpetdoc
Good game with a few flaws
The biggest problem that I have with this game is that on the main map there is no way to easily put like items together. I always try to merge 5 items at a time to get the bonus item when doing this. If I play for very long merging items my wrists starts to hurt. The second problem is when moving items together sometimes the item that you are trying to move will go back to where you were moving it from so you have to start all over moving the same item. Otherwise this is a fun game and I would recommend it. I do see that the developers have put together a good game for people to play.Show lessNevets976
Wish I could give the game 5 stars.
Like so many of the reviews I’m seeing, I love the game but the cost to complete the events is unreasonable. I’m not someone who minds spending money on games that I enjoy but this game isn’t worth the amount you have to pay to get anything done. If they made it a little easier I would be more likely to invest in the game. Maybe they’d make a little less per event but in the long term I’d be more willing to invest continuously, where as with how things are now I won’t invest at all because it’s not worth how much I’d have to spend to complete a quest. I’m sure I’m not the only one that feels this way either. Great game in every other way, but definitely the least game worth investing in. Hopefully they take some of these reviews to heart and make it a little more reasonable.Show lessbfio89
Likable Game but….gamer beware
I really like the concept of this game. However, I really hate the drain on energy that forces you to buy gems to get additional energy. The game has you go through “events”to get rewards and etc. for completing tasks. However, in the beginning they will supply you with enough crystals to complete certain task , then where do they go? Not only do you have a great drain on your energy bar just to open areas to get access but then there is a second great drain on energy bar just to collect items for the event tasks. This leads to great frustration to find ways to restore your bar. I refuse to spend money in order to play. I will not accept this to be able to play. If you have a lot of money to spend on a game then you might like this one, however if you don’t, then don’t bother with this one. I’m on level 17 already considering deleting this game off my phone. Also, why doesn’t this app have a refresh background feature as an option on my phone? This app has a problem locking up sometimes.Show lessNim1021
Don’t start!
Like I said, don’t start this game! It is so enjoyable but to get even one bush cleared, you make a car payment! You get one bush cleared then 2 feet in front of you you have another car payment just to get to yet another bush you have to clear then yet again right in front is another bush to clear! Because I really love playing this game I have spent so much money just to be able to play more then 10 minutes! The amount of energy you have to use is absolutely ridiculous! You guys really need to fix the amount of energy you need to move forward even 5 feet! You would get lots more players if they could actually play this game without breaking the bank! Bottom line it’s a great game and very fun but I can’t afford it anymore, I’m done! Sad because this is the best game I’ve come across in a long time!Show lessCarriep123
Frustrating
I love the story and the images and building things as a casual game but the increasingly higher and higher cost of energy makes it impossible to finish things. Spending so much time and energy to work on the events but never finish them and not get prizes is a waste. I used to be able to complete activities with some challenge but reasonable. So I have gotten some of the special buildings. But now even playing all the time and saving up special energy items to use and even getting a couple of the card energies during an event cannot complete it. Getting the special cards only happens if you get close to the end of the event. It is a waste of time and energy to not get to finish a story and get the cute buildings. I am beginning to hate this game. One event I had to stop counting how much energy I had used once I got over 7000 and still did not come close to finishing it. How come one task costs more than your maximum energy bar holds! Disappointing and frustrating for a game that once was fun and a good way to casually pass some time. Now is a source of anger and I don’t need that in my life.Show lessKatWingAngel
Not fun, frustrating!
NEW: Who designed this “pumpkin nightmare”? NOT ENOUGH POTENTIAL TO GAIN ENERGY! Why are you trying to chase players away? Ohhh, you only want players that are willing to spend many thousands of dollars, right. People that don’t spend $$$$$$$ are being chased away by the horribly frustrating lack of energy. VERY BADLY DONE!
NEW: HERE WE GO AGAIN! Yet another quest that’s impossible to move forward without spending A LOT! Why must we spend so much energy to remove a stone or a piece of grass? It’s obvious that this is either a deliberate attempt to frustrate the player, or unbridled GREED! Very sad, because this is a fun game at times. You’ve stressed me out and ruined what was supposed to be a fun game. SHAME ON YOU! I understand you want to make money, but turning a potentially fun game into a ridiculous attempt to get players to open their wallets is not a good business plan. This game could be wildly addictive IF you could make some decent progress. NOT ENOUGH OPPORTUNITIES TO GAIN KP! I cannot make progress without KP. I am considering deleting this game, witch is sad for me. I like this game, but the frustration is stressing me out. Please make some additional ways for players to gain enough life to actually complete something! I hope you understand just how frustrating this problem is for the players.Show lessTerri S.

There are so many great things about this game. I love the characters, the artwork, crafting, decorating, the story, completing quests. However, the events are impossible to complete without spending real money. I know people complain about the energy costs in a lot of games. I have played a lot of different games of this kind. This is one of the best, but absolutely the worst when it comes to the energy system. I have a max energy of 76. I use the in-game things to generate more, I watch all of the ads I can. I get up to maybe 400 energy. I chop down 150 energy in rocks and bushes only to find that the path is still blocked by another 150 energy. I clear that and collect ONE of the 12 items I need to complete ONE of the quests in the event. That is so frustrating and not fun at all. If I can only log in twice a day I cannot even complete ONE quest of a 2 day event. I made the mistake of spending real money on one. I don’t mind paying a little to support a good game. I logged in several times a day, watched tons of ads. Sixteen dollars got me a few more steps in, but not even close to completing the event. Please fix this this. It really could be a five star game if the energy system was reasonable. I will not spend any more now that I know it does not help. I work hard for my money and have a budget. I just threw away my my monthly “entertainment” money for a few rocks and bushes.Show lesskitmum
Fun game but….
I started this game a couple of weeks ago and was really having fun, until the quests started to get more involved in such a way, that the making/finding new lives weren’t keeping up. Instead, a person has to keep buying the “excess” lives from the piggy bank as they build up, in addition to trying to get enough supplies for the Dragon merchant to, hopefully get chest keys, and also hopefully, get some more lives. Instead of the developers allowing other ways to get more lives in-game, they keep pushing “watch the ads for more lives” EVERY FEW MINUTES, which gets annoying, especially if you’re trying to complete a time sensitive quest. Also, lives don’t restore very much overnight, so a person is left with not much to start the next day with. A suggestion would be for the developers to set a decent amount of daily lives to start the players off each day without having to make a mad scramble first thing. I’m very disappointed in this game and have deleted it from my tablet.Show lessLady Drax
