Homescapes 4+

Love! But needs some adjustments!

I absolutely love this game! It’s fun, challenging, amazing story lines, and cool ideas for decorating! I have been reading through the reviews and see a common complaint.... some levels are way too hard to earn so very little. I have stopped playing this and garden scapes out of frustration from time to time...yet I always go back! I spent 4 or 5 days on the same level on Homescapes and well over a week now on Gardenscapes level and it’s very discouraging. I have heard of people getting charged for additional things they don’t even purchase in games before..so I avoid making purchases at all costs.(***not in this specific game**) So it’s extremely discouraging when I spend so much time and get no where. That’s legit my only complaint. It’s not bad enough where I want to delete the games-because if you keep at it, EVENTUALLY you will beat it! Then it seems the next few levels are super easy then you hit one of the hard ones that takes days to beat. BUT the idea of the game, I think, is Genius! I DO love the little challenges and add on competitions you incorporate into the games, like the rockstar thing with Austin and all that! I wish we had more options for boosters, although I will say from time to time you add in the spin wheel u get to spin daily for boosters !

Overall it’s a great game - just challenging from time to time! Great to play during quarantine and needing an escape from reality for a little🤷‍♀️

STAY FAR AWAY, this game cheats

And even if you have a screenshot proving the glitch that cheated you, they’ll disregard it and screw you out of play and money. Background: Been playing this game (and spending $$$ on it) for years, but when a level (7214) had a glitch — cheating me out of extra-play coins, taking away bonus tools — I took a screenshot that CLEARLY shows their mistake and sent it to them, and they’re totally fine with screwing me over. (For players familiar with the game: all the suitcases for hats had been opened, all the hats on the board were gone (collected, eradicated, whatever), but it said I needed to destroy ONE more hat. There was NO hat visible, but I tried anyway— exploded numerous planes, bombs and missiles that would have clearly taken care of it. No dice. That was my last move, so I spent 900 coins to try again, even though no hat was left to get. Exploded as many planes, bombs, etc., but no dice. I realized it was a glitch, I wasn’t going to preserve my bonus tools and it had just sucked up my money. You cannot capture a hat that doesn’t exist and is NOT going to materialize, since there were no more suitcases to open.) I went through the multi-step process of contacting support, sent a screenshot proving the glitch, waited more than a day for a response and just got a notification “well, another hat might have materialized, too bad for you.” Clearly the agent doesn’t know how the game is played, and it just CHEATED ME out of play and money.

Great game! Needs a little work

Homescapes was one of the first games I downloaded, and I really like it, but the first thing I think I would change is it takes way too many points to get extra moves, and when you get into some harder levels, you sometimes need those extra points. So I think what I would do is make it more like 100 or 200 points that you would need to spend to get more moves. I really like the extra events they’re really fun to do. But I would say that some of the levels get pretty hard and that maybe it would be better to have like a hint at the bottom, like if you needed help, you could just press hint, and it would give you a hint. I also think that something you could change is being able to choose the difficulty of the level like if your brain is having like a hard time waking up then maybe you could like choose easier difficulty they could all still be difficult, but it might work better if you could choose the difficulty. But if you’re reading this review to see if you would like to get this game, I’d say that it’s an awesome game and you should definitely get it but if you are a developer, those are the changes I would make! I hope this review is very helpful for you and I think that if we got these changes made Homescapes would be a very very fun game to play witch it already is but we can definitely make it better!!!
