Bud Farm: 420 17+

My favorite game :)

This is my favorite game that I’m playing at the moment. It is fun and lighthearted and not overly challenging or demanding. It flows at a smooth pace. You can play this game as much or as little as you want, and the game does not pressure you for real money or for things to be done in a limited time. You can forget to water your plants and they will still grow buds (albeit not as many). I enjoy being able to buy/trade items with other players. This game can get a bit repetitious, but that’s one reason I like it. This game actually helps me relax. I enjoy the constant music playing in the background. I have trouble sleeping and this game will actually help me fall asleep because it’s so chill. I honestly don’t get the bad reviews that are complaining about things. Some items for building do take a long time to show up, but you just gotta keep playing and eventually they will. This game is a lot of fun and the characters are amusing, just like real stoners :)

Boring, basic, glitchy

I enjoyed the grass roots version of this game to an extent. I had trouble with a glitch in the grass roots game where I had spent money on potbucks and somehow as soon as the potbucks were delivered the game switched them over to coins which I never needed. The customer support personnel I spoke to about it were rude and unhelpful and refused to award me the potbucks I had paid for but other than a crappy customer service team the game itself was entertaining enough to hold my attention for some time. I hoped the same for this version but I’ve had lots of trouble with the same types of issues as most of the reviews here have stated so far, watching ads for free stuff that is never awarded, zero availability of materials for upgrading literally anything, I am also having an impossible time placing workers. The workers supposedly have preferred work zones but for some reason the game will not let me place those workers in their preferred work zone. The munchie zone was unlocked and it says I have a worker in that zone and that the contraption is producing but neither of those things are true. I have several workers in my “Buddies” storage but the game wont let me place them anywhere and there’s literally no way for me to upgrade anything to make more jobs for my workers. This game is insanely glitchy and so slow that it’s honestly not worth the frustration.

Ruined by bugs

I downloaded the app after having played the original bud farm for over a year, and at first this one seemed to bring back the excitement I had for the Bud Farm games again. At first I couldn’t wait to progress through this game and I still find all the main gameplay assets interesting and fun, but ffs it’s barely even playable. My “connection to the server” is dropped about every 2 minutes, and it takes about a minute for the loading bar to crawl back to life again. Thought it was my WiFi connection at first but I’ve tried on several different networks and cellular data. The karma contest is just one big glitch, I get reminders that I need to sign in but every way to do that is just an un rendered icon on the screen. My “Shortlist” is a complete bug minefield, it’s about a 50/50 shot whether my purchases from other people’s farms, or “fests” in this case, will go through, and when they do the game usually requires at least one restart. Guys, it’s a fun game but I feel like I’m Beta testing honestly. Clearly the creative input was there and it has the potential to be a really fun and successful game but overall just sloppy execution.
