Notice says failed to download. I have tried everything that was suggesting! Can’t get an answer ### 3/5 — Game locked up on Chapter 4 *2025-04-12, version 2.18.0* I am locked up on Chapter 4 Ostrich Valley. I have cleared everything on the board that I can and still need to find old boards to fix a fence to proceed to finish the task. I have tried doing a repair and clearing mist but nothing happens. I really like this game but if this can’t be fixed, I will not be able to continue and will have to delete it. ### 3/5 — Help!! *2025-04-05, version 2.18.0* Love the app. Will not allow me to update or get on. ### 2/5 — Hammers *2025-03-26, version 2.18.0* I want to save everyone some time. If you run out of hammers you should go ahead and delete the game because you are finished. They make all the tasks demand so many hammers and you can’t go any further without them. ### 3/5 — Started new game *2025-03-23, version 2.18.0* Started a new game on my phone because I can’t access the game. I’ve been playing for three years on my iPad. I’m being patient I’m hoping I will be able to access it but it’s getting frustrating ### 2/5 — Takes too long to load *2025-02-06, version 2.18.0* I like a California escapades because of the bright landscape in the endless adventuring, but the game takes too long to load. It cannot get past the loading page it keeps saying cannot connect to the server. And and I really really wanna play the game again again please send an update to fix it. Love maddie2212 PS please add a loading bar. ### 2/5 — Old *2024-11-08* Looks so old ### 1/5 — Again the game does not load *2024-10-11, version 2.18.0* Newest update 10/20 does not load ### 4/5 — Not loading after update *2024-10-11, version 2.18.0* Not loading after update today ### 1/5 — Game is not working *2024-10-10* After this current update I am not able to download the game. It’s only 35% downloads and then stop working ### 1/5 — Publicité *2024-09-25* A chaque fois je viens pour jouer une publicité apparaît et elle ne veut pas fermer quoi faire réponse svp je vais le supprimer le jeu très déçu de vous ### 1/5 — Awful *2024-08-05, version 2.17.3* Don’t bother! ### 4/5 — Fun *2024-06-05, version 2.17.3* Overall a fun game to play. I also play Sarah’s Adventure. Both games really need the ability to chose the players own avatar (pic) .. not just for fun but identifies us with friends ### 3/5 — Energy *2024-06-04, version 2.17.3* I love this game but there is clearly not enough energy to clear land. Even with the extra energy pot you get 2-3 seconds of play time to clear trees, shrubs etc. Its a lot of fun but needs some fine tuning ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t get into the game-no help available *2026-06-07, version 2.18.0* Can’t even get into the game. There’s no support at all and no way to reach support. Game has been down over a month , has been uninstalled, reinstalled. Apparently this is a known issue with no fix ### 1/5 — Help! *2026-04-07, version 2.18.0* After years of playing, the game suddenly “can’t connect to the server”. Super sad. Fun game otherwise! ### 1/5 — They just want your money *2025-06-29, version 2.18.0* I play a lot of this type of game and this one just wants your money. There are so many others that give you the energy to finish a goal. This one tried to force you to buy energy. Not worth getting. ### 1/5 — The game *2025-06-07, version 2.18.0* The game is not working won’t load ### 1/5 — Not working on my IPad again 3 rd time *2025-05-17, version 2.18.0* This game won’t work on my iPad for the 3 rd time please fix ### 1/5 — Help *2025-03-19, version 2.18.0* Game unable to load states unable to download resources is it unavailable on ios system now? ### 1/5 — Game issues *2025-02-27, version 2.18.0* Loved the game, played every day… until a week ago when my resources failed to load. App won’t open or allow you to contact support. Very disappointing. Will have to remove if issues cannot be fixed. 😭😭 ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2025-02-24, version 2.18.0* Something happened and now I only get a message that it cannot download resources. ### 1/5 — Scammed out of money, terrible customer service! *2025-01-04, version 2.18.0* I’ve been playing this game for many years probably more than 10. I have purchased energy on many occasions. Two weeks ago I completed an offer on the offer wall to donate to the ASPCA in exchange for 5441 emeralds which I never received it I was charged. Support flat out states that I didn’t purchase through the game and refuses to award me the emeralds. Beware the scams from this company. ### 1/5 — Publicité *2024-10-11* La publicité ne veut pas fermer quand elle apparaît dans le jeu .je rouvre le jeu et j’ai même pas le temps de faire quelques choses qu’elle apparaît j’adore se jeu régler sa svp merci ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — New to game *2026-07-08, version 2.18.0* It’s a good game with resource management and an interesting story ### 5/5 — I love the game *2025-08-16, version 2.18.0* Every time I log into the game it will not download it get stuck on the first page get me error messages failed message again. ### 5/5 — Fun *2025-07-04, version 2.18.0* Been a long time player and enjoy the game BUT…. I also play Sarah’s Adventure. Both games really need the ability to chose the players own avatar (pic) .. not just for fun but identifies us with friends ### 5/5 — I love it *2025-05-23, version 2.18.0* I need help it will not let me get in I am having trouble getting in please fix it. ### 5/5 — Not working on my IPad *2025-03-16, version 2.18.0* This game won’t work on my IPad.
