If you can fix this problem I will happily give it a 5 star review as it looks a great game. Thank you so much in advance 😄 ### 4/5 — Loss of game *2026-08-11* Love the graphics, was enjoying the game until, apparently like for so many others, it failed. And everything wiped. Very disappointed. Hopefully this will not happen again. The storyline is pathetic and very poorly presented but the graphics generally are great and I enjoy playing. Surely someone can improve the situation. ### 5/5 — 5 Star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ *2026-08-10* Beautiful Game Love How you can Turn your Garden Into a Gorgeous Place ### 2/5 — Update erased all my progress! *2026-08-02* I’ve been playing this game for weeks and had made big progress on building a large garden, not to mention spending money on special items. However today I find their recent update has completely overwritten my saved game and I’ve lost all my progress and gone back to level 1. What’s worse they seem very disinterested and unbothered when I contacted them about it, thinking a few gems gift will make up for it. Won’t be playing again. ### 1/5 — Schönes Spiel bis Level 42 *2026-08-01* Das Gestalten des Gartens macht wirklich Spaß. Es wäre schön, wenn einige Gegenstände noch gedreht werden könnten. Leider ist bei Level 42 erst einmal Schluss. Bin gespannt wie aber vor allem wann es weiter geht. Jetzt nach Wochen kam endlich ein Update. Die Freude war jedoch sehr kurz. Alles erspielte weg. Geld, Pflanzen…..es geht neu los. Dafür ziehe ich von den erst vergebenen 4 Sternen 3 ab. ### 1/5 — Lost all level since update *2026-08-01* Updated today as game requested. Now have lost all 38 levels and back at the start! ### 2/5 — Cannot progress! *2026-07-28* Good merge game, enjoyable and good story, BUT… game only goes up to Level 41. You cannot progress as the game hasn’t been designed yet! No more building and no more story. Have waited ages, played daily building up coins I cannot spend, and still no more garden space or storyline. Waste of time if you cannot extend the garden or progress the game. Very disappointing. ### 4/5 — Jule *2026-07-08* Eigentlich wie andere Mergespiele , aber das Design gefällt mir sehr gut! Leider ist es nur auf Englisch! Wenn die deutsche Sprache da ist, dann gerne 5 Sterne. Es wäre schön wenn man zum Beispiel die Bögen drehen könnte!!! Ist mit Level 42 Schluss? Oder passiert noch etwas? Und wann kommen neue Levels? ### 1/5 — Boring *2026-06-27* Body wast if time ## Frequently asked questions about Garden Getaway ### What is Garden Getaway: Merge & Design about?
