I've been playing for years, recently I can no longer double tap a bomb or rocket to set it off, which the levels require to start (bomb) or hit mushrooms (rockets). I am being forced to use specials because of this. I also noticed that every other level is a hard, super hard or bonus level, which takes the fun out of the entire game. I used to love this game, now not so much.

I've played this game for years and recently the game developers have tooken away a subtle feature that makes a difference in passing levels and as a long time player I would appreciate it if it were changed back. Normally you could use a move to detonate an explosive in place but now you have to move the explosive up/down/left/right instead of double tapping it to blow it up in it's place without moving it. Please change this back!

You have to spend TONS of money on power ups to pass levels. I always buy the season passes but the algorithm constantly wants MORE,MORE & MORE. It gets ridiculous playing the same level 100 times to pass one level. I use the game for stress relief throughout my day, it helps me reset. I'm now overspending on a game that causes me frustration, stress and triggers my ptsd. Contacted customer service. It's a high $$$ pay to play game. Deleting the leech.

Started fun, until it's not. I'm stuck on a self-proclaimed "super hard" level without enough coins to keep playing or get boosters. I cannot do more work on the Garden until I beat the level. I don't want to pay real money to keep going. Designing the garden was less interesting than I thought it would be. Mostly it's just several steps to clear up dirt or brush, no real creativity or designing. The treasure hunting costs too much energy to play through. I'm deleting it because I'm bored.

Absolutely entrancing...haven't been out my garden since I started. Wish their was other ways to get lives ... But I love it. #review update ..i have to delete 😔..game forces you to buy extras to advance the puzzles are impossible to pass unless you have a bunch of power ups. Some cant afford that. So your stuck for weeks on the same puzzle..BORING!! Great in games tho.but there again you spend so much on energy to advance..so sad

I love this game but it has gotten way too hard. Can't beat more than 2 levels in a row, rewards are fewer and farther between. Challenge levels are impossible to beat then take all your rewards if you do have a winning streak. Coins are too hard to earn and takes far too many to get anything. I don't want to play this game anymore sadly...

I've been a playing since the beginning. Loved the game. Recent however with steep cuts in rewards and the prices doubling yet items cut in half or less IT IS DISGUSTING!!!! many of us are very disappointed in the choices made by the game. PUT IT BACK!!!!!!! WE LIKE THE GAME BEING ACTUALLY RELAXING!!!!!! STOP WITH GENERIC REPLIES AND ACTUALLY LISTEN TO US!!!! MANY OF US HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR YEARS AND ARE TELLING YOU THE RECENT CHANGES ARE APPALLING!!!!!!!

The new update sucks. You used to be able to double tap the little bombs or power ups to make space for new moves/rotations. You can't do that now, so if you run out of space or can't rotate to make a new move, the level just ends, and you lose a heart. There's always a feature taken away and makes the game less user-friendly. Update 4/30/24: The newest update fixed the bomb/power issue kind of. My rating still stands cause there's plenty of features they could address.

I loved the 1st mansion, the graphics, and the levels, but it started going downhill as the years progressed. They took away the dog show mini game, the new area is a villa its not pretty. They have all these new mini games that were once play adds. The new energy games where you have to figure the mystery it costs you way too much energy. The levels sometimes are way too hard. I won't be back to play. I've lost interest. I gave it 4 to 5 when it initially started, now it's a 2.

I can not agree more with the "taking the fun out of the game" comment. With the level of, you can beat this level when you purchase something. I can not make purchases with games, BUT I can spread the word to play this fun game. Not even having the option to watch another advertising video to help pass a level just sucks. I'm looking at deleting this game if it doesn't change.

I used to enjoy this game and put WAY MORE $$ into than I ever should have. Graphics are great, the games within are great! I have become very disappointed recently with the *treasure hunt" games. It has become almost impossible w/out dishing out serious $ to advance when you can only make 3 moves (if you are lucky) per energy refill of 100 points. Also when you do there's another set of 3 or more obstacles to clear in a short distance. Too many special object sets when you can't advance sucks

Absolutely one of my favorite games to play levels are very challenging and intriguing. The game is constantly being updated developers make sure the game is up and running and operational without any issues. Since downloading the game I have absolutely enjoyed playing this game. Gardenscapes is a must download for anybody that loves puzzle games. The App does have the option for purchases for the special events that run all the time if the player chooses to.

Update (5/2024). Impossible to advance more than a few levels without getting stuck for ages on a tough level. The side game that requires energy, uses it up too fast and you end up feeling frustrated and not achieving the goals. It shouldn't cost $30 just to finish one adventure! Ridiculous. I used to enjoy the game enough to spend money on it, but not anymore. It's too expensive and not fun anymore.

I've had this game for years it's my absolute favorite game to play in my spare time. I love the graphics and it's overall design is beautiful. Although I've notice levels are becoming harder and harder to pass and I've spent more than 4 days trying to beat certain levels. I will not ever put money into games so it's harder for me to pass certain hard levels. Which brings me to add they are adding way more hard levels and challenging levels which is the downfall

I think this game is great, in the sense of the story line. Keeps you wanting to play. I however just don't like that the minigames in order to progress are 90% match 3. Match 3 isn't bad but when you are given 5 moves and limited try again hearts, It kills the game. Maybe you can have ads if one wants to play casual, i.e. you have unlimited moves but you have to watch an ad after 10-15 moves. It shouldn't feel like a pay to win. I gave you 4 stars because someone else I feel will still enjoy.

Updated to add: #2 strategy is no longer a viable strategy. And now every other level is a hard, difficult, or a challenge one. No fun. ‐_- I started playing in 2019 as a coping mechanism. I've never been able to collect everything in an event, even at the pinnacle of my playing. But I don't really care. It can be frustrating to get stuck on a level, but either 1) I grind through it 2) I quit playing for awhile so I can get a nice "welcome back" bonus 3) drop a little $ for some items.

Extremely addicting. I downloaded it after seeing so many adds about it, I will say, the adds lie a bit. Lol. It's a match game, not just a pull the pin game. You get to do the pull the pin mini games every few levels, and after about level 180, the levels become extremely difficult. There are a few that are just about impossible to beat, which is extremely infuriating. But no ads is also really nice.
