Modern Community

Right now, this game is really good. There are ads, but they’re not in your face or overbearing. They’re not 60+ seconds long like some games are starting to do. I enjoy the designing, though I wish some of the options were better. I also like that you can go back and change it. Because you might pick something before you’ll know it fits the rest of the space, so much appreciated. I’ll be honest, I don’t care much about the story. I’m not big on romance and this seems to be a story about helping the community (yay!), but also some love stories in the background. Maybe a possible love triangle and, honestly, not something I care about in games like this. If it was a full, fleshed out PC game, yes. A mobile game, no. I enjoy that, if you get stuck enough times, it seems like it’ll change the puzzle, which can help you not get stuck on a level forever. I have one or two old games like this, where I got stuck on a level, even when using power ups and after using up all my power ups on one level, I stopped playing them. I don’t know if they do that on purpose, hoping it’ll spur you on to buy more, but I’m not the addictive type, so I’ll use what I earned through playing, might even buy a pack, but if I’m still stuck, I’ll just stop playing, lol. Either way, it’s a really nice, well-designed game that I HOPE greed doesn’t end up ruining, but then again, no one would make apps if they weren’t in for the fast, easy cash 🙃 I’ll enjoy it until then.

This is probably my favorite game, but it is extremely hard to beat the levels and I would know because I’m on level 1097! I love the story line and upgrading an entire town. I even love having a cute dog and upgrading my characters clothes. But… sometimes it takes 10+ times to beat a hard level. I consider myself intelligent, but this game has me questioning that sometimes. I have to laugh to myself when it says “hard level” because almost all the levels are hard. I think I’ve maybe beat 2-3 challenge levels where you get one chance to play the challenge level. I think that had something to do with luck though. A game makes money when it’s popular, fun, challenging, and winnable more than it’s losses. I’ve deleted many apps that aren’t fun or are TOO HARD. I actually LOVE this game! Please give us more moves, especially when we have 4 challenges ~ for one star, or something! I’ve been playing Homescapes for years and I don’t ever see myself deleting that app because you can actually beat the levels. Please help us! I don’t want this to be just another app I loved but stop playing because it’s too hard! If popular census all say the same thing… “the game is too hard,” one good review isn’t going to win anyone over to download this game, or worse….. deleting it and writing about bad review. I’d love to change my review back to 5 stars.

I’m writing this review because I saw a bunch of other people complaining that it is impossible to play with paying money. This is absolutely not true. I am on level 1430 and have not paid a single penny. There are plenty of options within the game for free rewards, like the daily login gift and smart shopper sale. Sure I get stuck on some levels and have to play them over 50 times but that’s part of the challenge. Propeller pursuit and other events can give you unlimited lives for various amounts of time. Sometimes you get unlimited power ups too. I love the addition of the garden because now you can get rewards from that too! Also over time I have collected so much cash and coins. My Paige and apartments are fully decked out. Again, I have not spent any of my money on this game. Anyone who says otherwise simply isn’t up for the challenge.

I will be honest that I downloaded the game the day it came out. I had it set on my Samsung for pre-register, where it will download automatically once the game is released. Didn’t have space on it so I put it on my iPhone. I’m on level 431. I will agree that it can be difficult and it can take you multiple tries and a lot of lives to pass a level but I’ve literally gotten to this level without paying a dime. I’m guessing people are just wanting to rush through it? I enjoy it as a casual play. If I can’t pass a level and run out of lives, I just come back once they’ve reset. You don’t actually have to pay to pass or use power ups unless you’re trying to push through the game. I will agree that it’s a little unfair to have the story start being 2-3 stars and some with multiple steps. That can stall the story a lot when you’re only getting 1 star a level. And I will also say it always gives me a weird feeling to see a game I’m already playing suddenly change their ads to be a game it’s not. The game has a cute storyline and different aspects that are fun. Lying game ads really do need to be stopped. Overall, I enjoy the game and have just downloaded the update. Looking forward to seeing more of the stories.

so i really enjoy this game - i love the art, the puzzles, the story and the design in general. however i am currently at level 215 and it is getting to a point over some of the past few levels - and this one especially - that you just absolutely cannot win without pure luck. i know free games never make you HAVE to purchase things to succeed and move further, but this one really pushes it. i enjoy the game and want to keep playing but I’m tempted to delete because i have been stuck on this same level for like 2-3 days now and it is hard to do anything else at this point. i believe there could be a benefit to adding an additional one-time booster after a certain amount of tries to a level, such as one of the bombs if you have tried a level 3 or more times in a row and still failed for example, to help give people an extra source of potential to beat a tricky level. or, allowing people to watch an optional ad for five extra moves when they have been struggling. because I will get so close to completing certain levels only to be hit with no moves remaining and no option to be able to get any, because 900 coins is a lot when you barely receive coins per level (other than bonus levels but even then those amounts vary) unless you pay real money, and the boosters cost even more. i am going to keep trying this level for a little bit longer, because I don’t wanna delete the game and then not have anything else to play that really catches my interest, but I definitely think adding some extra features in to help people who don’t want to contribute to the paywall would be excellent and give the game more longevity. thanks for reading.
