Was great until the new update

This game was cute and relaxing and simple to play. They decided to update it today…it’s now ugly and confusing. Super disappointing.

It’s ok

New update is not good. Got rid of a lot of my progress. Very pay to win

Loved it till the update

Was really enjoying this game until this morning when I saw the most recent update. Very glaring redesign less relaxing more obnoxious styling. Unfortunately unlikely to continue using. Such a bummer.

Disappointing update

Incredibly disappointed in the update. Font changes, fine. Different view for upgrade path, fine. Making things much harder to upgrade?! Why? I was enjoying the idle game as a passive way to collect animals. I had gotten all the way to the second last restoration. I have been spending the energy according to upgrade where needed and haven’t had enough in 3 weeks for the next landmark… now you’ve gone and made it harder to restore?! No thanks. I’m done. Deleting.

Update SUCKS

I have been playing this game for two months, and found it incredibly relaxing. Until, this new update. It is awful. It has a weird clear iPhone vibe, completely unlike the original. Not to mention everything is more expensive, so all the hard work I put into gaining money and upgrading was delayed probably another month. Hate the new update, which sucks cuz I loved the game. Incredibly disappointing.
