I love this game. I’m about to hit 75 days in a row tomorrow, and I’ve mowed 287 yards. I haven’t missed a day yet! The game is relaxing and fun. I love this arcade version too. I think it’s great that it has an arcade version. My biggest complaint is that the pet event was way too short. It was barely here, and then gone without warning. We at least need a countdown on how many days are left for the event. Unfortunately I was really busy the couple of days the event was on, and I missed out on getting more. It needs to come back, but honestly also just needs to be a straight up feature. I’d be happy to spend my gems to get some pets. Another problem is the event objects that you can’t see. It’s really frustrating to finish the lawn, and then see when it zooms out, that there were leftover presents that you missed, because they were hidden from the top view, and now it’s too late. We also need to be able to customize a house, yard and have pets. I’ve tried a couple of different houses, but I want to have my basketball hoop (and play area), plus have room for a garden and pets. I want to pick one of the more modern houses, and then move it somewhere I’m the yard that works well. This seems like a major feature we’re missing. Lastly, can we please buy a permanent version of the drone? It’s 500 gems for 9 yards (although your house really shouldn’t count for that!), so why not let me buy a permanent version of it for 5k or even 10k?
It’s a simple cute game that’s extremely repetitive, which is good for some but problematic for others. I like listening to podcasts while playing, but it can get somewhat boring at times. The whole animal collecting thing is a good idea. It’s exciting when you tap on a new animal and the screen zooms in all dramatically. The different customization options are fun to collect. I also was thinking that a game like “It’s literally just vacuuming” would be a good profit. Just make it the same game with vacuums! You can learn about house plants or something while vacuuming. Also there is a glitch where I got a cowboy hat, but for some reason the college graduation cap is like in all of the hat boxes. So it will be like a baseball cap but there’s also a graduation cap clipped into it. When I have the cap on it’s not a problem, but it’s just weird. Overall this game is fun, relaxing, and addicting, just like it’s advertised. 🙂
You can tell this was a prior mobile ad game for other games that someone threw together to make money selling ads and not putting thought into it and it's appalling that this is what Apple allows to pass as gaming content. You are blocked from getting high wins on the daily spin, the daily 250 lightning boxes are all the same so you lose 200 gems only a short way into the game, and all of this is because you'd normally have to buy gems with cash so they'd make money. They left those mechanics in a now "free" arcade game so it makes no sense and you get punished for nothing. If that's not enough, the mower parts don't actually do anything different. There's no leveling up of the mower to make it easier. The whole way through you're offered only 2 overpriced items that glitch out frequently as does the overall game to help mow and an exorbitantly priced tool to get you maybe 10 gems in the next yard for the price of 2500. And yes I can confirm the loot doesn't do anything different since I emailed the developer to ask. This whole thing is a racket for the games on arcade and for Apple and we should demand better for our money considering the price of things.
