Storylines are great but puzzles are ridiculous
The fact that there’s over 10 puzzles per episode is just excessive not to mention how difficult they are without putting money into buying diamonds to buy power ups or extra lives. 1000 diamonds for 5 lives or 5 extra moves is ridiculous especially since getting diamonds takes forever, like why make everything 1000+ diamonds including outfits and accessories. Whole game just smells like a cash grab for easy money by scamming people. Not to mention how the puzzles seem rigged why are you only giving 20 moves to unlock multiple bags, flowers, buckets and get rid of all of the paint? Definitely need to rethink the puzzle aspect if you want people to actually enjoy it.

Disappointing
So this is really a pay to win type of game. After a certain point, you HAVE to purchase the boosters in order to barely pass levels or even get 3 stars. What you score on your level determines the “speaking” options for you character. If you get a 1 star on the level, you get a 1 star option when speaking to other Islanders. This obviously gives you a negative effect and decreases your relationships… unless OF COURSE; you used your purchased diamonds to unlock the better choice & every choice costs 500 diamonds or more 😒😤🙄

Good graphics, disappointing game
I've played (and liked) all of the Love Island games and have never left a review, but had to after being so incredibly disappointed by this game. It's clear that most of the effort went into the graphics, which are nice, and the matching game, which is way too challenging for most people.
The plot lines themselves are so messy and incomplete. I've played through Season 1 twice, once with Levi and once with Talia, but when I tried to couple up with a different person (Reese) on the third try (despite having all 3-star scenes and having good chats with him), the game *automatically* chose Levi at the next recoupling.
I was so frustrated that I quit the season and restarted Season 2 to see if I could get different endings (won with Bobby and Henrik before). Even after having all 3-star scenes and good chats with Elijah in Casa Amor, his name didn't show up as an option when considering a new partner for the recoupling (even though my character told him beforehand that she would choose him).
And even when you DO get the partners you want, the writing is sloppy and the interactions are pretty much copy and pasted for each partner, rather than giving them unique scenes. Combined with how much time and energy you need to play the game, it's not worth it. Don't waste your time (and especially money).

Puzzles
I enjoy playing Matchmaker and find it fun with the storyline and dialogue. I also like that instead of having to pay 1000 diamonds to pick the choice I want, I can just play the puzzles to get stars and pick that choice. But the puzzles also seem to be the problem for me. In the beginning, the puzzles were fun to play, but now it’s just very annoying and frustrating. The puzzles can be too hard at times and I could spend days trying to complete the puzzle instead of playing the actual game. And when I’m finally able to play the actual game and pick choices, I get another puzzle in less than 5 minutes. It takes the fun out of the game and makes me not enjoy it very much. A suggestion could be giving us the option to play the puzzle instead of having us play it and being stuck on it for days. Say I want to pick a choice while in the middle of dialogue, but the choice costs diamonds and I don’t have enough. I could choose to play the puzzle to win stars and be able to pick the choice I want. Besides this, I enjoy the game and hope more stories get added to it.

Ehh
I give this app 2 stars because it’s fairly challenging, however the storyline is unfair. You have to play difficult mini games. If you want more than 20 diamonds you have to pay money and every item costs 1,000 diamonds. I have been playing the game for almost a year now trying to beat the mini games without paying. I finally finished the game and it was so not worth it. It’s fun to just play but a game should not take a year to finish I played every day. After every one line in the book which is only like 5-10 words said there comes a mini game, they need to upgrade.

Irritating
This is my first ever review on anything from the App Store, and I’ve had an iPhone for over a decade now.
I’ve played Love Island since the first season came out, and I’ve replayed it a few times. I love the new dialogue and updated graphics in this version of the game, however I absolutely detest the puzzles you have to play after six lines of dialogue. I would love to play the game with the graphics and new dialogue, but these puzzles have irritated me to the point that I’ve deleted the game all together. It’s just not worth it.
If they ever update the game and remove those puzzles, I’ll come back to it.

Update Please
I love this game but I absolutely hate when I’m playing a puzzle and I lose, and the option for 5 more plays for 1,000 coins pops up immediately. There’s been multiple times when I’m in a flow of playing the puzzle and I accidentally hit that option and now all the coins I’ve been saying up for a dress/clothes is gone because it pops up right away.
At least update the game so when we hit that button we have to push “ok” first or the game double checks that’s what we really want to do because it’s so frustrating when I’ve been saving for so long and lose all my hard work.
A lot of times I don’t even complete the level because I knew I wouldn’t be able to win but I waste my 1,000 coins.
Or smallest change to how much we have to pay for the coins, like 500 for 5 plays is much more reasonable.
Anyways I love the storyline and the puzzles are my absolute favorite of any game I’ve ever played.
Please update though, I would really appreciate it.

Puzzles interrupt story, app stopped working
My number one issue is for over 5 hours now I haven’t been able to get the game to load. I’ve restarted the game and phone with no fix.
Secondary is that the puzzles just occur too frequently and disrupt the dialogue a little too much. I don’t mind the puzzles as a way to move to story forward in contrast to Choices, but some are just really difficult and take too many attempts without using power ups.

Almost 5 Stars
I absolutely love this game. Honestly I prefer to solve a free puzzle that’ll determine my choices rewards as opposed to BUYING diamonds or gems!!! But some of these puzzles are HARD!!! Sometimes it takes me DAYS doing the same puzzle when I’m so eager to see what happens next. Sometimes even with the power-ups the puzzles are still hard. I don’t mind a challenging puzzle, but if I’m taking DAYS and 5 lives every time they refill and I still can’t get it, then it’s too hard… I love the “watch an ad” for power ups and lives, but I think the puzzles could be a little more doable… not nearly impossible. Sometimes it makes me stay off the game for weeks because I get so fed up. If the puzzles weren’t impossible sometimes, then I would say this is THE perfect puzzle / choices game combination. When it is enjoyable to relax and solve a puzzle while doing a story, it’s my favorite game ever!

I don’t know …
I love the concept of everything that the game now offers. But, this candy crush type of game… it pops up to often. Literally after every sentence someone says, it shoots me to a mini game. Most of them are almost impossible to get 3 stars off of, I feel like yall are close to a perfect game but not just yet. Hire me lol, I have so many ideas that I can bring to the table as a dedicated love island game fan . Just a thought lol.

Need more stories
I’ve been playing this game for quite awhile. I enjoy the stories(especially bachelorettes in Vegas & seduction games). However, you need more adult stories than those. I have tried to restart the books, but the diamond requirement is ridiculous! Please give us a Love Island 3 or other love stories. Been waiting too long for new stories & I don’t care to read the mystery stories.

Money grab game
Its really nice to be able to re visit the love island stories and the new ones too are interesting however I Dont like when games make puzzles increasingly hard because they want you to buy gems/power ups in order to solve the puzzle. And unfortunately you do need to solve the puzzle in order for the story to progress. It really was a nice idea but again its like when you were given gem choices and expected them to be great and instead they fell flat and weren’t worth it at all in the love island game( ie paying for your character to get stickers put all over for a party but didnt change or add anything interesting to the story)

Love the game
I’m really enjoying this game however I do wish I can have access to all the options. It’s no fun when you need all these diamonds that you can’t afford to get. Also I tried to open the game today and now I can’t even get into it. It looks like it loads but instead it takes you out of the game back to my Home Screen. Somebody please fix this!

If I wanted to play a jewel game… I’d download one.
2 stars just because I liked seeing a different version of the Love Island game seasons and the graphics were great… other than that it might have been one star. As fans of the Love Island show, the Love Island game turned out to be something entertaining to do with my friends over quarantine. However, this game for me is a hard pass. I think Fusebox wanted to find some way to set themselves apart from other story apps, but this just isn’t the way. You’re made to play a puzzle game between every single conversation and the puzzles often take longer to get through than the bits of dialogue you get in between. If I wanted to play a puzzle game, I would’ve downloaded a puzzle game. Bringing two beloved concepts together doesn’t mean they’ll work together. I was so turned off the puzzles that it actually felt like a chore and I couldn’t bring myself to explore anymore of the app. It has such potential, but it’s not worth the time. Stick to the several other story apps that don’t make you work to read. If you’re desperate for a puzzle game amidst your reading, stop every 30 seconds to play Candy Crush and it’ll be just like using Matchmaker.

Disappointed
I played the other Love Island game/app by fuse box and spent plenty of money having fun! I don’t mind spending some money on these games and have used many interactive story apps without the puzzles etc. However, I quickly found myself spending money on this app to continue playing- way more often than other games I have played. The mazes were okay at first but they get to be too much. I have spent days trying to pass levels lately as I collect gems and boosters daily so I can play without spending more money and it’s not working.

Very upset
I love the original love island game but this one is a huge disappointment. The way it’s scored almost always ends with 1 star and when do you get more than 1 star it gets used on a stupid choice. If you can’t get above 1-2 stars every games you will be hated by the house and only gave the options to be rude and cold. Deleted and never playing again only put 5 stars so this can been seen. Still the first love island game.

Could be better
First off I love that I don’t have to pay gems for choices and the idea of puzzles to gain stars for choices is genius… however there are far too many puzzles it’s hard to read the actually story and the puzzles are quite hard to gain much more than 1 or 2 stars.
I started love island but didn’t finish mostly because I have played many story games including the official love island game and I didn’t like that most if not all the characters were the same as the other game. I don’t know if the storyline was the same but I assumed so since Allegra hates you in both storylines.

My idea to improve game
At first I should say this game is so exiting and addicting but just it can be better with this two ideas:
1. I wish I could see the question before solving puzzles to know how hard I want to solve it. (Maybe I just needed 1 star for that situation).
2. It would fare if it has a restart button affter finishing each puzzle then we could have another try for more stars.

Second time downloading this game
I was pleasantly surprise to see other games to play in this app. I finished one shorter story, then started playing Love Island season 1. I did complete it, but spent real money to be able to finish some of the puzzles. Started season 2 and now I am stuck. I really don’t want to spend more money, so am thinking of deleting it again. Many of the puzzles are way too hard, gets you discouraged very quickly. It would have been a good game if it wasn’t for that.

This is Love Island Game but MORE interactive
I really enjoy seeing the characters in action. They look great updated and live. The typical puzzle is a bit bleh because most app games have this already, but it’s easy and really engages the player to keep playing since it’s used to unlock character interactions.
