Terrarium: Garden Idle

I've been playing for a few weeks now and I really enjoy the game, but within the last week or so the game won't let me watch the ad for coins when the cardinal comes around and it won't let me watch an ad to reload the boosters either. Other than that, its a fun and cute idle game and I find it relaxing. Edit: Now the game won't let me watch an ad when leveling up either.

Strangely absorbing, but killed by the amount of required adds. This is particularly bad given the game has a premium currency. Then theres the crashes. Easily 15 crashes today doing basic game activities. Tapping plants, leveling up, opening menus. Basically any activity could result in a crash. I like the basic concept, but i cant recommend the game.

It's fun, cute, and relaxing. Only thing that I would change is how many ads they put in, specifically when you have to level up. There's a choice to either double your rewards or just get the normal amount of "plant money/orbs"( I don't know if that's what they're called but I'm going to call them that because it's the only way you can buy new plants) if you choose to double you have to watch an ad, but it doesn't make sense that you would have to watch an ad if you don't want to double.

Cute plants. Made it to level 155, things seemed fine, but then almost all of my pots were gone. Still at same level, just lost all the pots. Tried restarting phone, tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Even the reinstall seems to be malfunctioning. I can't buy the 2nd plant even though I have more than enough oxygen. Was an easy-going, not at all challenging game to pass time with here and there. Cannot currently play it.

I deleted this, redownloaded it, and came back to remove two stars from my previous review. There are so many ads i think I'm just gonna delete it again. I don't want to turn off my wifi because i want the ads that give rewards but I don't want to watch them if I'm not getting anything from it. I have gotten an ad every single time I leveled up (even when I don't click the 3x rewards) which does not take long. So in a few minutes of playing I've gotten at least 5 ads. I'm already sick of it.

Way too many ads. It's basically impossible to progress without viewing ads to help when you level up. Even if you don't click the option for x3 rewards by viewing ads, more than half the time an ad will pop up anyway. The artwork is cute and game itself has potential, but you really get the feeling the designers are more interested in earning money through ad views with the least amount of effort in actual design/"gameplay." Sucks because I've been looking for a good idle plant game :(

I enjoy this game, however i have found a few flaws. I dont like the amount of ads that are shown. I feel like i spend equal amounts of time actually playing the game and watching ads. I also think there should be a way to delete certain plants that i have multiples of. Had i known there was no way to do this, i wouldnt have planted multiples. Now i have certain plants unlocked and no space to plant them. I think a "delete" option needs to be added.

This game is fun for the first 20ish minutes, but the main annoyance is everytime you level up you need to watch a ad. The reasoning it's only fun for the first 20 minutes is the balancing on the plants it's just better not to upgrade the second plant and just upgrade the first one until you get the second seed of it.

This is an awesome game. The art is clean and cute, the gameplay is satisfying and fun, and it's very addicting (in a good way). I only rated it 4-stars because there's basically an ad every five minutes, which is very annoying. I understand that this game's creators want to get money by helping companies advertise their products, so I only ask the creators of this game to have less ads, not get rid of them, because I still want to help the creators of this great game to make money.

I adore this game and have been playing it off and on since 2020 on different devices, and my biggest gripe is you cant connect it to an email or the play store to keep your progress. Sure the ads are annoying sometimes too, however having to restart anytime I redownload/ switch devices is unavoidable. I would definitely give 5 stars if this wasn't the case.

Visually the game is cute. It's a bit boring and I don't stay tapping for more than 30 seconds. The biggest gripe is the "remove ads" option. I paid to remove ads and I still have to see ads to get bonuses. My other games that allow me to remove ads, remove them completely and allow me to get bonuses like I had watchrd an ad. The bombardment of "watch an ad to get a bonus" when I already paid for no ads is frustrating.

It's overall an amazing plant game! Love the diversity, along with the ability to edit/decorate. However, it surely would be more popular with its heavy potential if it wasn't a money muncher, plus the overall ad amount! I don't mind to much.... however after a while it's overwhelming. So Truely a 3.5, yet a 4 because it's addictive!

Really liked the idea of this game and the gameplay but can't get over the ads. Specifically, the fact that on level up, when given the choice to watch an ad for a bonus, even if you choose not to watch an ad....they still give you an ad. Granted, it is skipable, but nonetheless it's such an annoying feature that many modern mobile games have picked up and really kills them for me.

Whenever you level up, you either collect a bonus, or 3x that bonus for watching an ad, but an ad plays either way. There's no way to close out of this, and levels lock progression. Effectively, It forces you to watch ads to progress. It feels like the game harasses you for just wanting to play. If this is ever remedied, I'll reinstall.

So many ads!!! I had to do the free trial just to see if I even enjoy the game. Every click is 10-30second ad 💀 once I did ad-free free trial, I enjoy the game. It's really fun and calming. I love all the plants and even more enjoyable when they have the same plants that I do, however I'm not sure it's worth spending monthly on an idle mobile game, so once my trial is up, I'll Uninstall.

I love the game but there are A LOT of ads, especially every time you level up. It's constantly annoying. Another thing is the box that says "Event Coming soon" but I've never seen an event in this game, same with the cluster of boxes saying "coming soon" but... nothing changes. I wish this game was more updated. There is a lot of potential for this game for other different plants and events. Seems like a lot of wasted opportunities

Although I do enjoy this game, the amount of ads is absolutely ridiculous. It really sucks because it's probably one of the most entertaining tap games I've found. It gives you options for an ad free way of leveling up but still makes you watch one, then doesn't give you the reward for watching the video. Another complaint is you have to manually push the button to level up, therefore the problem with the pop-up ad. I love the plants and the deco options but at some point I probably will delete.
