MOOMIN Welcome to Moominvalley

I’ve been playing this game for a few months now, so here are my thoughts: (1. the game progresses VERY slowly. (2. You don’t get a large reward for completing quests, for example, you can spend 10,000 shells to buy a quest required item but only get 230 shells as a reward for completion. (3. It doesn’t feel worth producing all those items for a ‘Party’ (with just ONE guest btw) when they barely reward you with anything. A lot of items take A LONG TIME to make, then you’re just wasting them for a character’s affection to go up 20+ (4. It takes a very long time to accumulate gems naturally without spending real money, which leads me to my BIGGEST GRIPE: I earned over 900+ gems and decided to spend it on a limited shop item. I wanted a flower lamp, but instead I got a different item 3 TIMES IN A ROW. The first pull was discounted for 100 gems, then you had to pay 300. IT WAS NOT WORTH IT. I’m very angry about the fact that it gave me THREE OF THE SAME THING AND NOT EVEN A DIFFERENT ITEM. That whole situation is the reason why I’m finally writing this review. I absolutely would’ve given this game 4-stars because I love the coziness and simplicity of it. I love seeing all my favorite characters walk around and interact with objects. But the game is too slow and you can’t get everything you want without spending money.

I tend to play a lot of "idle town" games but this one is a stand out. The secondary currency that can be pay-to-play in other games is actually achievable by in-game quests and experience grinding without feeling impossible. The wait times are fair to the levels and match along with each other when you're making things in tandem. The lack of ads is honestly astounding. There's only one place to watch an ad and it only refreshes once every 10 hours. Amazing. I'm sure there's more that I'm forgetting but I can't recommend this game enough.

This game is so fantastic! The animation is adorable and sweet and I love how the characters interact with objects!! I just can’t get over how wonderful this is! My only complaint, if you could really call it that, is that some things take a really long tine to create or fix. Especially so early in the game. I think as you level up things should take more time but I’m at level 6 and I’m waiting for things that are taking hours. You should change this so that new players can enjoy the game longer and the higher level things should take more time but I understand that’s how these games work. Was going to give 4 stars because of the ridiculous wait times but decided on 5 anyway because it just really is that special and unique! I definitely recommend this!
