Love and Hate

I’ve been playing this game for years now. I love the events and am always happy to pay for a golden ticket for better prizes. I love when new levels are available but I can get through 25 levels in a day and then end up back in the Gold Cup Challenge - which is nothing but a collection of the HARDEST levels I’ve come across. I end up using so many boosters and coins just so I can complete an event (like I said, I pay for that ticket and of course what to reach the end). I would have thought that the Golden Cup would be a chance to have more fun and earn extra boosters while you wait for the chance to continue the storyline?
I also feel that you should have the option to take part in tournaments. I’d like to play my 25 levels per week and not take part in the Gold Cup. I automatically drop down the tiered prize system because it’s too frustrating to go through these levels again and again. I guess I could stop playing for a few months and let the new levels build up again but I know I’ll be missing events.
Sum up : great game when you don’t have to constantly play the HARDEST levels in the Gold Cup Challenge.

Worst update ever in the whole world.

I have played this game for so long now, around 2 years now. This is the only game I stick to as I get bored super easily. I loved everything about this game and decided to try the other game by these creators, the one with the Home but my problem was the annoying animation of the little icons in the actual games so I uninstalled and I am SOO SAD and so super not happy that they’ve changed the icons in this game to poorer animations. The previous animations are INCREDIBLE. and now they look childish and way worse than before and I’m so confused and now playing this game is just annoying. Where before the game was calming and gave me such a positive experience, now it just seems like I’m playing a game that a 7 year old would be attracted to and it doesn’t appeal to me anymore. I’m very sad this change was made. I’ll probably still play this game every now and then but I certainly will be keeping up to date with weekly events in the game and promotions etc. The game was 100% 5/5 no questions asked before. But now, I honestly feel that this minor change has changed the game for the worse. Maybe the creators are trying to appear to more younger people or what but I’m quite disappointed and despite knowing its very unlikely that they’d change the icons back or actually IMPROVE the old ones. Love the game. Definitely recommend it. Personally being a very visual person it’s a hard adjustment.

A few fixes required, but OK

Bug fix needed! Lives should only be deducted once playing of the level is finished, not if the program crashes when you're in the middle of playing! I didn't even see the result of my first move before the program crashed and took a life off me :-/

Hard levels now and then are OK, but it gets to the point where I'm getting so fed up with a level that I stop playing even if there are unlimited lives available for a while. One of the big frustrations is the timed levels earlier , mainly when I wanted to make a move but the game itself slows me down. Examples: a removed gnome hangs around totally blocking the screen so I can't make my move until he's gone; or I have to wait a few seconds for the blasted rainbow blast to get its act together before I can make a move. Both these things have made me run out of time on many occasions. Having said that, though, the rewards of being able to progress with the garden improvements are just enough to make me keep on with it. One thing I'd like to see disappear is the "against the clock" bit. Having to have multiple tries against the clock just adds up to a lot of high-stress time, which is a bit much for something which is supposed to be fun! Too much stress for little reward on those. If the programmers could resolve the issues mentioned above this would be a much more enjoyable game.
