Please start telling the truth in your ads

I downloaded this game thinking the complete opposite of what the game is actually about. This game is about rebuilding the garden of his childhood. You complete furniture with collecting starts. You collect these starts from a mini game very similar to candy crush but it’s related to the garden. But let’s get to the point. I downloaded this game from an ad. There are many ads saying that you either, save him and the girl from Antarctica, or you have to save the house with out failing, or save the garden without getting a fail. All the ads make the person fail but making it really easy to chose the correct answers. Me and my friend decided to try this game for my little sister to play. Without even thinking how some of the ads don’t even go with the point of the game. Later on it was downloaded and my sister had no idea what to do. I then knew that the ads where straight clickbait so this game could grown even more! These ads are even used in their game Home Scapes. Other than the ads clickbaited probably many people, this game gets a 3 star. Not a 4 or a 5 because of how difficult the levels are to get starts, it can take days to finish some. At the start it was easy but then the challenge came where I was stuck on for many many days! Any way that my review. Thank you for reading and I hope you can stop the clickbait, thanks!

Mom, Counselor, Gardenscaper

I’m almost to level 10,000. The game has slowed down a bit. There are some levels that are pretty hard and I’ll spend weeks on them, or buy the power up disk with extra firecrackers. This game got me through graduate school. It gave me the mental break I needed to refocus and get back to work. I wish a couple of things were different. There used to be a place we could pick to watch ads to get more money. On a hard level, I’d spend days getting more coins through ads and more power ups and now I cannot have the ads. It would build up to lots of power ups and 900 coins so I could have extra lives and finally beat a level that took so long. It’s not something I thought about for a long time because I would just play this game, but I recently downloaded another game and there are tons of Gardenscapes ads. We don’t have ads…but you advertise. Another thing, why aren’t your loyal players given the chance to play mini games? I want to help the lady and her daughter stay warm after that jerk face ex ran off to marry someone else. The’ve never shown up in my play. All we have are those excursions that are impossible to beat without lots of money. I spend around $10 a month on my payday to play your game. I’ve been playing about 5 years and I did try to start a new edition of the game on the iPad so I could play mini games but it was so frustrating to start over. I linked my progress back to Facebook and the games were gone. :(

Great game…but could be AWESOME

I really enjoy this game with beautiful graphics, thoughtful stories, and appreciate no ads. But I agree with others’ feedback: hard levels shouldn’t take days to beat, I miss the mini games (which are what I thought I was getting as the game, based on the ads that brought me to it), and the adventures seem impossible to beat without spending cash (let alone completing both the path and the collections). All power-ups should be chosen from within the level—as you play (not before you start the level and don’t know what you’re facing or will need). ‘Challenge’ levels should be optional (without saving special boosters, most are just a waste of life). Rewards of timed unlimited lives should be “banked” like bombs, where you have to choose when to use them—not automatically applied. This is a BIG problem! Sometimes you only have 5-10 minutes to play and can’t use another 10-60+ minutes of free lives at that moment. Wasted! I play on my phone so just touching the screen “accepts” them before I can even leave the app. Helping strangers with free lives or team rewards is cool, but you shouldn’t be competing *against* them for 1st, 2nd, 3rd place rewards! My team has become few and less active, so I’m mostly here playing solo with an extra 1-2 free lives. I didn’t choose this as a competitive game, or team effort game, so making it harder with less free help for solo play is one of the things that may cause me to quit.

This game was totally different in the ads

OK, so I download this game a couple months ago because I kept seeing it all over and I’m like I’ll try it. Why not but completely different me wrong. I love it. I love the graphic designs on it. It’s beautiful, but I’m not a big fan of it I mean, yes you do get to play some of the mini games it shows on the ad itself but only a little bit. My mom also has scam and I guess she thought it was different but it is puzzling but not as puzzling as I like it. I like my games challenging, but I’m not big fan of doing this to me, but I do want to ask her and once I ask her, I’ll check back but this game is although super fun. It is calming and relaxing, but I do wish the game was a bit more interesting the games that shows on the ad itself but I just don’t like games that are like shows you different things on the ads to make a game seem interesting and says that it’s like the same thing when you download the game I think they’re doing that so they can get more people hooked onto the game and I don’t say no ads, there are fullscreen ads all the time and some of my games and it’s annoying. This game isn’t really that it gives you a couple ads every once in a while but not a lot. I just wish that there would be a few more puzzles like it shows on the ad and hopefully the developers respond to this because I would love this fixed and I have no other complaints about this game or problems with it. It’s normal to me.

Pretty Good

It’s a great game and I did not get it from looking at the adds my sister has been playing for years and has a really big garden so she suggested it to me. But now that I see the adds it’s kind of a scam for one thing the stuff they show on ads are mini games and people only have them every 10-20 levels plus the mini games are not nearly as fun or long as they seem to be most of the time when I beat a normals level it either gives me a super hard level that I get stuck on or it keeps giving me easier levels so that you finally get stuck on a level. If you download Gardenscapes it may seem easy at first but it gets harder and harder every day take it from me I’m on level 519 and most of the time I open the app I get stuck on a level and trust me I’m not a bad player I have tons of match games that I’m on a high level in but for some reason Gardenscapes is the hardest. Right now I’m stuck on a level. A good thing about Gardenscapes is that it has a lucky spin every day most of the time you get pretty good stuff depending on the level you use it. But sometimes they have fun seasons that give you better and better rewards every time you beat a level but the minute you lose one they all disappear which is pretty annoying especially when you’re on a level that gives you 3 stars when you beat it ( those levels are always hard but when you have tons of rewards and lose it’s really annoying.).

It’s not bad, but NOTHING LIKE THE ADDS… 😭

Okay so this game is super fun I’ve been playing it for a few years now , but my one and only complaint is that this game is nothing like it shows in the adds you can only do what is shown in the adds in the mini games , which isn’t really fair because even the icon of the game has a picture of the mini games and that picture doesn’t really show how the mini games really go . The game is about helping a gardener restore his childhood home and also I’ve seen ads that say this game needs no WiFi and has no ads . That is not true , maybe Playrix, the developer could keep this game , change the icon maybe and if possible make another game that’s jsut as shown in the ads with a different name and icon and different ads Update: this is just my perspective of the game and what I would like , possibly not your idea of the game, and I would love a response from the developer, Playrix but I overall absolutely love this game. Update from I few years later: playrix, please make the stuff said in the adds true. Um also yes even the game gossip harbour isn’t like the adds but the adds, the girl and mom are the same? Why? Also the real game tbh is boring, the adds show something so fun tho! Why can’t you make an app like that? Please? I will give it five stars and a wholesome review 🥰 so please Playrix, (side note, the game is still awesome just not my kind of game)

Needs some updates

This game is addicting, and it has its perks. It’s more interactive than other matching games and the garden graphics and storyline is super cute. However it is bit racist at times and could use a moral shift… and there are certain levels that simply cost you to pass them. You can either play them 100 times or spend $$ on coins to get past them; I do feel as if they toss them in so you will buy coins. I’m all for supporting a game but I’d rather pay $5 up front than feel worthless because I can’t beat a level without help. ** the mini side games are fun they take you on little adventures where you get to help a friend with a task. In the beginning the “cost” of things is manageable but the inflation reminds me too much of the American economy. Things cost 10x the amount of lightning bolts but we still only get 2-5 a level 😒. So again you can’t find out the end without paying dollars. !* there are annoying glitches! I can’t tell you how many times I try and switch a bomb to the right and the game shifts it left so it doesn’t hit that strategic gnome. Or! When it’s all greedy on it’s suggested match and I want to make a different match that will actually help the progress of the level and it won’t let me, it’s like my fingers don’t exist. 🫥. I’ve also used stars to add to the garden and a glitch in the matrix happens and those task and bits of the story I have to do again, only the stars have already been used.
