Hidden Objects: Coastal Hill

This game is like no other. It includes matching, hidden objects, strategy puzzles, and more, which really holds one’s interest (once you figure it all out!). I especially like the friends system, where you can receive and give away excess amulets and other items you’ve won, as well as earn energy, coins, and experience just by having them come visit you on the map. The tournament guilds allow you to compete a bit (or a lot) if that is something you enjoy, resulting in more rewards and advancement in the game. The game continues to make itself challenging as you gain experience — I actually wish it would be a bit more lenient on the timed tasks because they seem to get harder more so than games or monsters. You don’t have to buy anything — you can play an earn crystals and rubies and coins to buy amulets to make game-playing easier or more relaxed — but you can also make purchases for volume amounts of key things if you’re so inclined. This is actually the first game I feel addicted to!

This game is awesome! It’s free so long as you can handle not buying anything but you can if you want, the amount of items you have to find changes around with how far you get with each quest sometimes you have to enlarge the picture so you can see something but that’s part of the fun. I got this game about an hour ago and I love it I think I’m at level 3 and the energy just increases with each level. Sometimes you earn energy as a nice little boost. No problems here but you may want to know to expect some of the scenes to use different amounts of energy so if you’re low on it you may want to be picky about what scene you want to play until you can get more energy. Its a really cool app. 🌟

I stopped playing other games because they were less interesting than Coastal Hill. I love the camaraderie with the general chat and the friends system. It is a game that I can enjoy with my sister, even though she lives 3000 miles away. That being said, the algorithms used by this developer do not foster loyalty in players. As soon as Adore noticed that I was willing to spend a little money in the game the prices increased exponentially. I splurged on a $25 offer — big mistake. Now I get nothing but $50 and $70 offers. Adore, I can and am willing to spend a few dollars, but I cannot and will not spend $50 on your game every week. I know that spending is optional. I would be more inclined to spend on cheaper packages, even if they do not include as many bonuses. Then there is Version 1.21.1 that was just released a few days ago. You can no longer help your friends by gifting weapons to them. The cost (in in-game currency) for some items have doubled, tripled, quadrupled, or more, depending on the player and some weird algorithm that Adore is using. So disappointing when I have been playing only 3 months. I thought that I would be able to enjoy this game for a long time. Instead I am wondering if I will be able to sustain my interest after this latest update.
