Unlike other time management games where you are given a certain number of “lives” and have to wait x amount of time for it to regenerate, this game operates on a per-ad basis. To play a level (in the free version) you have to watch one ad, which is very reasonable. You don’t even have to rewatch the ad if you replay/restart the level (unless you exit out of the level/app) and you don’t need to spend actual money to upgrade things to five star every level. It’s truly free to play (with ads) and you can finish the entire thing without having to pay a cent!The story was a bit strange, but held my interest no less and there were enough different levels/play areas where I never really got bored. Coming from Diner Dash/Cooking Dash (where I’ve yet to complete the entire game because I refuse to spend money on the premium in game currency (gold) to upgrade things), Primrose Lake is a very refreshing game in the era of “free to play but need micro transactions to advance/fully complete” games.

I have played every single one of these games since the beginning because they are relaxing and I love food, but I don’t like the violence in this game, it really makes me stressed and uncomfortable, kidnapping and fighting along then violently hit over the head and taken away against her will, I have never been in a situation like this before, and I am very sorry for anyone who has and plays your games to escape any stress to have to relive this kind of horrible ordeal, it is not appropriate and along the lines of the original game house games, I’m very disappointed and I hope there is not another seen like this in the rest of the games from here on out, I still love your games please be more considerate, and continue making wonderfully happy, peaceful, and joyful games, we just don’t need anymore sorrow in this world.

I am sooooooooo glad I decided to check out Gamehouse’s game apps, because I’ve been playing their games on PC for years, but was starting to experience more glitches along the way. Once I started checking out the same games through their apps for the iPad, I was in HEAVEN!! Same games, no glitches ... and I even can score higher than before thanks to the ease of use. Primrose Lake is quite an interesting game ... very detailed and a lot different from most of Gamehouse Original Stories. I love the characters, and there’s just so many things to do throughout the game. I’ve finished this one, and will continue RE-PLAYING some of my other Gamehouse games through my iPad.

This is one of the better time management games I’ve played. You get the hustle and bustle challenge of the game along with an interesting storyline. I would have given it 5 stars if not for 2 things. First, I was playing the free version where you have to watch ads to play every level. That’s fine. They’re usually only 30 seconds long but every time I would finish one the game would glitch and exit me out and I would have to watch the ad all over again causing me to watch double the amount of ads the entire game. The second problem for me is that in order to unlock the entire story you have to pay for it which again is fine but it’s a monthly subscription. I understand why they do it because it gives you access to all GH games but I would prefer to be able to purchase games separately as a one time purchase
