고양이장원 - 고양이정원 합성게‪임‬ 12+

I love this game. I’ve had it since last July (almost a year) which is such a long time for me to keep a single game on my phone and continue playing it. Occasionally I go through these phases where I don’t play, because it feels like it’s impossible to level up (I get stuck with 3 tasks that are all asking for level 10 tools) and very monotonous, but I always end up coming back to the game. It’s not overstimulating, so it’s very simple, mindless, and decompressing to play. They switch out events very regularly, keeping the game new and exciting (unless you’re stuck with 3 level 10 tools and are unable to progress in anything for a week). There’s a good balance of ads, I would say. You don’t get any unless you choose to play one for extra bonuses, but the game is quite playable without them (I consistently watch only one ad a day). I’ve also made it decently far in the game without having paid any money for the bonuses. Overall, it’s a really cute, fun, addictive game that I would I highly reccomend if you’re looking for something to take your mind off of the world and decompress.

I VERY rarely leave a review but this one deserves it. This game used to be so much fun. I’ve spent the better part of half a year building and grinding. But the most recent update change is just absolutely a cash grab and it makes the game nearly impossible to play. Energy chest costs gems now, money cats require you to watch an ad (which freeze the game up a majority of the time), your daily free energy went from 25 per ad to 15 per ad??? When you get up to a higher level, the fulfillments become larger items, which require a TON of energy to make. This game has now made it practically impossible to get up to these larger items unless you (1) spend money (2) watch a horrendous amount of ads (3) spend your entire day grinding out every single free energy that you can get your hands on/that regenerate. There is no casual gameplay to this anymore. You’ll never get anything done casually playing.

**update: I took a month or two break from playing and came back today to a brand new update. The creators seem to have listened to feedback for which I give credit to them for listening to their customer base. While they didn’t necessarily give back everything that was, they did take away some of the more monotonous part of the gameplay, making it much more appealing. Is it still a grind? Yes. But the satisfaction of the tap tap tap, which is really what I wanted in a merge game, has been restored.

I’ve been playing this game for a really long time now and have devoted a lot of my time into it, but sadly, as time goes on, I have less of a drive to play it. Overall, the concept is really cute and it was fun to play as a filler for time. However, the recent updates are making the game less fun to play because of many things, but most prominently, the increase in prices of things (in in-game diamonds). For example, something that was 7 diamonds is now 10 diamonds for the same thing. I didn’t think inflation would hit in a game too?? It’s more than just one item, just about everything increased in diamond “price” which is really frustrating. Also, the items that could be popped from bubbles with ads have also been brought down a tier. (Ex. Level 5 item was max level for ad watching to pop now it’s level 4). Something else I’ve noticed that may just be a problem of mine is that I can no longer expand my space and I have thousands of stars just sitting there, serving no purpose. I don’t know if anyone else is having a problem with this but even with each update, this problem has still persisted. I’ve also noticed a couple of updates ago, the amount of energy that we can earn by watching ads has decreased a lot which has then lessened even more as time went on. It’s just disappointing that they’re being stingy on so many things that weren’t even an issue in a game that should be fun.
