roller coaster ride. i loved the game, at first. the levels of play were pretty easy while still being challenging. at level 76, that stopped! its taken me days to complete some of them and to only get 1 star when some tasks take 2. a little disappointed in some of the tasks as well, a star to call a repair man and then more to get the repair done? starting to not be fun, just frustrating.

I've played a lot of matching games, and this is the best one! I am well over level 600, and I am still discovering new items and obstacles. Unlike most matching games, there is not a massive spike in the difficulty. While there are still massively difficult levels, it isn't one right after another. There is a nice balance. Plus, there is a nice story in the background that actually has me rooting for these simple characters.

I love that the levels aren't seemingly impossible to complete, and that I get to actually choose how I want to decorate way more than other games do, like this one. Way to go on making this game fun! It gets so unnecessarily frustrating when the only way to beat certain levels is by spending money in the game... This one is everything all those other games should have been, but the developers got greedy. Thanks for creating an awesome online game and the consistant involvement of its players!

This is an addictive game. It has a basic story line, as well as progressive difficulty levels. I had a problem with the game upgrade that stuck and wouldn't let me play. once I contacted the developers they worked quickly to resolve the issue. They were extremely kind and helpful. Thank you. one thing that is difficult is adding friends. Short of adding people to my Facebook Friends list that I dont know, there's no way to add players as friends to give you connections for lives

The game is charming and silly with a bit of a different aspect compared to other similar games that I have played where you can customise more in-depth of the design of the rooms (which I loved). I enjoyed the art and the puzzle games but there are some strange deveopment choices such as very challenging levels to complet a tast that makes the completion of the level not worth my time instead of rewarding and some of the tasks such as cleaning out the books, organizing the books and so on is a little frustrating because it makes the game play seemed to be slowed down for miniature tasks (I get it though, other games of the same field do it too [which is why I stopped playing those games]), but maybe those types of choices of breaking apart tasts are a little too soon for the second room. For example: the game is addicting, but since I only got to the second room, I still wasn't invested enouph to get hammered down with such tasks that makes the game feel slowed down. Anyways, keep up the good work. :)

Love this game. Lots of competitions, events and clubs to give you boosters and rewards you can use to beat levels. I'm up to level 400 now and it has gotten more difficult to pass levels. Hopefully it won't get ridiculously difficult where I become frustrated and have to uninstall the game. OH! and NO annoying ads. Can you believe it?! For that reason alone, it deserves 5 stars. 😄

The design options, I like, they are more modern. The game doesn't have you completing an abundance of useless tasks rather than getting to remodel your rooms, like some of the other games like this one do. The levels start out easier, and get more challenging, making them fun, but then get to a point, they almost impossible to complete without buying coins just to buy more moves to get through them. So I am about to call it quits on this one.

Its fun yeah, but there is alot holding it back from being enjoyable. By far the biggest issue is the difficulty. It crosses the line from "strategy and attention to detail" to "How am I supposed to do this with the given turn limit". I get that some missions could be easier to do with the upgrades, but balancing the game around needing to buy things is not cool. Most of the time I win cause of pure luck rather then skill.

It's a fun game, BUT I really hate the new numbered moves. You get like 20 moves to complete the level and sometimes it is next to impossible...UNLESS you buy items. I have noticed more of these games doing that. Another cheeseball way to make money is having to wait hours upon hours for more "lives". OR you can pay for more lives or harass your friends to send you one...free advertisement for game developers. I would rather watch a commercial after every level instead of these new annoyances!

Fun game to play, but getting stuck on some levels and no other way to get coins is a bummer. But that makes it more challenging. Just wish i could get more coins. Update: Game is fun still and coins are okay now. Just takes a couple of tries to get through a stage without using coins. The issue now is the amount of stars given. I would like to get to the story without having to play 14+ puzzles for part of the story. Have a puzzle worth at least 2- 3 stars so I can get to the story quicker.

I enjoy all the matching and exploding elements when playing for stars. I like that there are A LOT of boosters and combos. Fun! But I do wish the images were more resizeable. I'm playing on a 3"x6"cell phone. I would like to zoom in more on a feature or activity. The smallness also makes it hard to compare items when "remodeling." Dialog is hard to read. Font is small.Also text balloons aren't open very long. I am missing character comments and interactions. Still, thanks for a fun game.

Updated review: love the game, but lately there has been a glitch in the "tip levels". 4 times now I have been booted from a "tip level", losing all progress and coin from that level. Very frustrating. I will give 4 starts again when this problem is solved. Edit: the tip level issue has been corrected. This game easily deserves 5 stars.

I really enjoy some aspects. However it is frustrating when you make your levels impossible to beat without spending the money earned or using boosters. The designs and story are cute, but when i do 3 levels in a row where it gives me a board with no moves at all, its frustrating. Keep the game fun, and do it by making the majority of your levels fun. The brackets are awful, after i hit level 90, I find myself more frustrated than enjoying it and that defeats the purpose of these games.

[EDIT] The updates provide tons of boosters to assist with difficult levels. Love all the customization, too! Upgraded to 4 stars. [Original] Graphics and story are neat, but levels get too hard too fast. Can't move past fixing up the front of the house, and it makes the game not worth playing anymore. No fun being stuck in place.

Really cute graphics and challenging match games. Start out easy, but get progressively more difficult. Alot of fun!I am revising my comments because the game freezes up after every few moves starting around level 30. I am now on 55. It's a fun game other than this. When you have to keep trying to unfreeze it, you loose moves and lives. I will give it another try whenever it gets fixed because I was really enjoying it!

Fun game. I've been playing for at least 4 years. However, I can no longer tell what levels are worth before starting to play said level. And tech support won't explain how to tell. They either can't, or they won't. Either way it's a mystery and it greatly affects strategy. So, Manor "responded" by asking if I could suggest anything to make the game better. YES! Just make the level worth obvious before opening the level. EASY PEASY, bet they won't! For that reason it drops from 5 stars to 1.

It was fun for awhile but now since noticing the game cheats, not fun anymore. I used to actually spend money in the game but never again. You are going to loose every game when you have to get ex: 30 coconuts. You can't because the "algorithm" won't have enough moves and they come out slowly. some of the blaster actually miss the targets. Takes longer to earn coins since it went from 60 to 30 and the extra moves went from 800 to 900.

My rating is going way down. There's little to no incentive for long time players. I love the storyline, characters and most newer features. But if you're trying to maintain participation, it's a big fail. I've played my favorite game for many years and stay on top of new levels. Now we get to play previous levels, which is fine with me. We no longer earn stars for this, while new tasks require more. Why would I stay, just to get no additional benefit?

EDIT: Dropping my 5 star rating to a 2. Been playing since around 2018. I'm on level 11,267. I try to always keep up with the news levels, but after all the recent updates, it's not as fun. The levels have gotten pretty difficult, which is ok, but it went from needing 2-3 stars to get items, to now 12-17 (or more) stars for 1 item now!!!! Thats ridiculous!

Previously 5 stars despite changes that make it harder to complete levels. The game has fallen woefully behind, on decorating tasks and hammer decorating challenges. Stars are supposed to allow you to complete new decoration tasks. I've accumulated 11,000 stars, which would complete at least 100 levels of new decorating tasks. They release a new level about once a week. Suggestion: convert those stars into points -- about 10,000 points. They have awarded lots of free coins.
