Matchington Mansion 12+

I am new to the game so have not yet grasped all the techniques. Getting there though. Took me a while to master removing the letters as I missed the explanation and did not seem able to go back. Got it eventually. Sometimes the levels can take a while for everything to fall into place but that is no different from many other games. I imagine the developers do not want you to go through too quickly which is fair enough. The game is free after all. I do agree with many others that the colours of furnishings, and patterns available are not all that attractive and having chosen one colour to start it is annoying to find that when matching another item there is nothing that works. I would like to go back and change my start colour in the bedroom for example as the new items do not match or contrast well - after all it is a Matchington Mansion - the name sends out a clue!!! I also preferred the picture I chose in the drawing room but it has been replaced with one the game chose.

Not bad so far though. I am enjoying it. The rating may change as I progress - or not!

The latest two versions of this game mean that I cannot now play it - it appears that there is a problem playing it on a number of older devices/devices with 1GB RAM or less. Lost the extra lives I purchased 2 weeks ago as I was thrown out of the game multiple times at the very beginning of a game loading and during a game but lives were still deducted. Game crashed constantly. Lost lives sent to me by the team. I was advised to stop playing the game to prevent further losses. Have asked for refund of this purchase - no response to this. Was sent an hour of unlimited lives as compensation but can’t access the game to claim those! I was hoping this would sorted in the latest version, released today but it is not. I cannot now access the game at all. I have been advised that this is still being looked into.

Also I have been advised that the support team cannot remove me from the team I am in, even though I cannot play the game -recently there were team events but I couldn’t contribute to those as I couldn’t play due to these issues. I thought it would be best for me to come out of the team but apparently it is not possible. I cannot access the game so I cannot remove myself from that team.

Game was really good before the recent updates - extremely disappointed that I cannot play. I’m not in a position to purchase a new device just to play this game!

This used to be a great game for filling a little time, quite relaxing and enough of a challenge to keep it interesting. Sadly, it appears that greed has got the better of the developer. Levels have become ridiculously difficult to pass, introducing a level of boredom. It’s not challenging, it's tedious, as you just know the algorithm will eventually relent and allow you to pass it, but the developer hopes you’ll cave in before then, and buy coins to help you move on. In addition, rewards are being diminished almost daily. Where you used to get an hour of free play for achieving a goal, now it’s 15 minutes if you’re lucky. Sometimes it’s just an ugly piece of furniture or rug that I’m pretty sure most players do not crave. A while ago they introduced ‘events’ for which you could choose to pay to enhance the game with more lives and other rewards, around once a month. I don’t mind paying the £5.99, as across a month that isn’t a lot. But, the changes outlined above seem designed to fleece players of even more. It’s plain greed. The joy of the game has been sucked out of it. I strongly suggest the developers reviews things and thinks about what the players might like, rather than their shareholders, otherwise the pretty decent income they had before all these negative changes, will surely drift away as more and more of give up playing out of sheer boredom.
