I’ve been engaged with this game for about four years now, and I’ve been eagerly waiting for the chance to expand my city, but that hasn’t happened yet. While the option to move to the next city exists, the gameplay tends to become a bit stale after a while. There’s also a lack of new buildings to purchase, which is frustrating since we don't even have enough room to place them if they are available. This situation needs attention. I took a break from the game for a while, only to return and find the same limitations still in place. I started with a community of over 50 to 100 players, and many of them have also lost interest. It’s common for games to hit a plateau at higher levels, but to keep players engaged, it’s essential to introduce new content regularly. I’ve invested quite a bit of money into this game, and I’m at the point where I might consider stepping away if changes aren’t made. The prizes remain stagnant, which contributes to my four-star rating. Let’s make this game exciting again! ### 2/5 — The Game overall *2024-10-12, version 0.28.1* The chest game shows you all these prizes however you only get energy and ex points never a building or anything like that, the other game with the coins it takes to long to get coins as well they length of the game is to short, I hope this isn’t turning into a super city situation because I’ll delete this game.. I play every day please make the game fair and add more decorations for the city like theme for the holidays and seasons. Also the townies are walking on top of the buildings and walking on water,also you have a football field and a tennis court but nobody is playing, I have a merry go round but it doesn’t move or the townies aren’t on it ,the game has potential however you should tweak the game. ### 2/5 — The Game overall *2024-09-28* The chest game shows you all these prizes however you only get energy and ex points never a building or anything like that, the other game with the coins it takes to long to get coins as well they length of the game is to short, I hope this isn’t turning into a super city situation because I’ll delete this game.. I play every day please make the game fair and add more decorations for the city like theme for the holidays and seasons.

I play every day please make the game fair and add more decorations for the city like theme for the holidays and seasons. Also the townies are walking on top of the buildings and why can’t the footpath go over the street, it’s dumb that the can’t go on the other side of the street, this game has potential but it’s needs to be executed better. ### 1/5 — Game *2023-11-13, version 0.25.0* Please sort this game out ,you take money from people so fix it ### 3/5 — It's been a year now. I am ready to expand or move on. *2023-08-20* When are we going to be able to expand our land? I’ve been playing this game for a long time now. I am still waiting to be able to expand my land or be able to move to another city/land. After a while of playing this game, It will become boring. I am giving it a 3 star now because it has been the same for over a year now. ### 3/5 — Mini games *2023-06-26* The chest game shows you all these prizes however you only get energy and ex points never a building or anything like that, the other game with the coins it takes to long to get coins as well they length of the game is to short, I hope this isn’t turning into a cityville situation because I’ll delete this game.. I play every day please make the game fair and add more decorations for the city like theme for the holidays and seasons. ### 5/5 — 5 yrs of playing this game. *2023-06-13* When are we going to be able to expand our land or be able to move to another city?
