### 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.

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.

### 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.

*2022-11-10, version 0.22.0*

When are we going to be able to expand our city? I ran out of space. I've been playing this game for a while now.  We need more space.  Can you open up a new city or give us more space.  This game is getting boring now.

### 2/5 — Issues with game

*2021-12-18, version 0.17.0*

I’ve been playing this game for awhile now , but have had issues with it. Have had my bank notes disappear. On more  times than one. Like today 12/18/21 had over 541 bank notes , get back on 41 bank notes is all that I have .  So disappointed.... Everything stayed the same but bank notes all gone . Also  been trying to the Christmas Restaurant and on the 5/5 round  I’m able to collect , the star maps &  walk-in talkies but the 5 dream catchers , shows you get it from the handmade souvenir shop. Don’t see it are can’t find it ... and will not even show me when I click on show ...

### 4/5 — A great game to play.

*2021-12-13, version 0.17.0*

I love this game so far.

### 4/5 — Love the game BUT…

*2021-12-01, version 0.16.0*

I have earned over $2.5 million cash and have nothing new to spend my cash on. I REALLY wish they would add more buyable items that I don’t have to spend real cash on. I’m sadly losing the fun of the game because I do the same things nightly. I refuse to spend real money anymore until I can use what I already earned. Hopefully, something new comes along.

### 2/5 — Fairy Tale Ball

*2021-11-30, version 0.15.1*

The quest resets every time I leave the game no matter how many level I have completed.

### 2/5 — Ruins of the Pyramid

*2021-11-15, version 0.15.1*

38 short distance tickets, collected over several days, have disappeared! Leaving me with the unappetising task of collecting them all again! Badly done, guys, badly done!

### 3/5 — Unable to access more cities

*2021-11-07, version 0.15.1*

I am 89 level. I only have access to 2 cities on the map with a red city sayin “Stay tuned”. I am running out of spaces to build. If there is certain cities that needs a certain level to access it, you should put the level on the city, not “stay tuned”.

### 2/5 — Disappointed & Lost

*2021-10-24, version 0.15.0*

I love this game I play daily and I haven’t been able to play on my iOS for a few days, how can somebody please tell me how you can update android to 15.1 but not update iOS? 
My android isn’t working & my iOS was my main source of playing the game, can anybody tell me when you will update the iOS so that I can finish playing the Halloween golden pass game? I don’t wanna lose my money or my progress thank you!
Also, WHATS WITH THE GAME CRASHING ALL THE TIME? WILL THERE BE A FIX FOR THAT SOON AS WELL?

### 4/5 — Lily City

*2021-08-02, version 0.12.4*

### 1/5 — Can’t get on half my friends city’s

*2021-06-27, version 0.11.1*

Every time I try to get on my friends city’s it stops loading

### 1/5 — Loading

*2021-06-14, version 0.11.1*

It said to install update yet when I try it says open like it already has installed the update. I deleted my game and reinstalled but the same thing happens again. I am not happy

### 1/5 — Energy for money?

*2021-04-02, version 0.10.0*

Never played a game where you had to spend energy just to collect money from properties... don’t waste your time on this game... amateur hour

### 1/5 — Paid for package and didn’t receive it so one star until they fix it

*2021-03-18, version 0.7.0*

paid for a package and didn’t receive it and not I don’t know who to talk to about it I have screenshot for proof I like this game but don’t spend any money on it

### 1/5 — Energy Depletes

*2021-02-22, version 0.5.0*

This is one of those games where energy depletes when you stuff. In this game it’s actually worse than in others tho. Even just tapping a building to collect money costs energy. This is the most infuriating game mechanic out there. Why in the heck would developers want to stop you from playing the game? When games do that to me I simply give a one star review and delete. 

Developer doesn’t want me to play? Okay.. I won’t then.

### 5/5 — I love this game

*2025-01-22, version 0.28.1*

I enjoy playing this game, but there's a significant issue that needs addressing: once you hit a certain level, space becomes limited. 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!

### 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? This game is getting boring now.  This game was fun at first and now we doing the same thing.  What about your loyal players?

### 5/5 — Please help

*2022-05-10, version 0.19.1*

Love the game but the latest update has erased all my progress. I have returned to the very beginning. I’ve uninstalled & re- installed with no success.

### 5/5 — Please fix this

*2021-12-06, version 0.16.0*

It won’t let me log on to the game. It keeps telling me to update, but there’s no update to be made.

### 5/5 — Nice game

*2021-09-24, version 0.14.0*

I like this game. But have to spend real money to play.

### 5/5 — Relaxing!

*2021-09-17, version 0.13.0*

Brilliant addictive game! A joy to play. Gameplay is fun, build your town how you wish and complete quests. No ad bombardment, but they’re available if you would like to earn extra rewards. Putting money into the game because I actually want to, not because progress demands it (it doesn’t). Very happy, thank you! 😃

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2021-08-05, version 0.12.4*

I love simulation games and this one didn’t disappoint!

### 5/5 — Great customer service

*2021-07-14, version 0.12.4*

I had a problem with the game. So i got in touch with the developers and we talked about the problem, at one stage i was going to delete the game. But after talking the problem was solved very quickly through facebook messenger. I am now very happy and will carry on playing this game as i find it relaxing,
If you ever have a problem they will do their best to sort it out. 
I highly recommend this game. So that’s why they get 5 stars from me.

### 5/5 — So far so good

*2021-07-12, version 0.12.4*

Just started playing & seems easy enough to play yet entertaining
