### 2/5 — Resort

*2026-04-19, version 2.22*

Horrible game👎🏽 NOT RECOMMENDED 😡

### 4/5 — Remember This

*2025-01-12, version 2.22*

I recall playing this games quite a long time ago!!!!

I played until the end and was so disappointed that it didn’t last long!  

Also disappointed that it does not save. 

Very good game.

### 4/5 — So far

*2023-01-12, version 2.22*

Relaxing
❤️Graphics
❤️music
the game play is way better than gardenscapes etc

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2022-12-13, version 2.22*

I was having fun at first but then I got to a level that seemed impossible level 16 if I remember correctly I couldn’t get to the bananas necessary to pass the level because they were all by themselves so the only way to get them would be to use the powers but those don’t do enough. I’ve given up on the game because of this. No one wants to play a game that you can’t pass. I want a game to waste time and have fun. However this game is not that at all.

### 4/5 — Good game but

*2022-11-07, version 2.22*

There is nowhere to sign into Facebook or Apple Osage your game. Every time you play it, you start from the beginning. The concent of the game is good as are the levels and chores to do.  It’s taking a long time to finish the resort before she calls a celebrity to visit. Nothing else is completed in the resort.

### 5/5 — Mike

*2022-07-10, version 2.22*

I have finished all the levels you made so far just need you guys to make more soI can continue playing the game of Starside

### 2/5 — Needs fixing

*2022-05-23, version 2.22*

When in a game of matching it’s really zoomed in and no way to zoom out, rest of the game is absolutely fine. It’s a big issue and it won’t let me match anything at the bottom or top.

### 1/5 — Beugue

*2021-07-14*

Bonjour, votre jeu ne marche plus dès le 1 er niveau . Pouvez vous voir ce qui se passe merci

### 3/5 — Good game but.....

*2021-03-05, version 2.21*

This could be a good game, nice improvements etc but it crashes after I win a level and I have to come out if the game and reload it.  Very annoying

### 1/5 — Ads

*2021-01-30, version 2.21*

Y’all have to remove the ads. It’s the worst I’ve seen on any game. Every time I do something I have to watch a long ad and that’s unnecessary. I’ll play again if y’all update it. I was enjoying it until I couldn’t get anything done because an ads keep popping up.
