How to loot - pull the pin 4+

This game started out as a wonderful surprise, because when you watched these kinds of ads on Homescapes or Gardenscapes the ad was a big lie. But in this game, you actually gotta try and get the money, without having the lava fall in you. Each level brings a challenge a little different. However, if you get stuck on one, this app has no hint button or anything to help you keep going. The second problem is, later in the game it got REALLY laggy and when I got the money, it was timing me on that level and I had to wait and it said I failed when I really did it! Sometimes it freezes in a way and it is very confusing. I like this kind of game, but I hope they can make it less laggy and make it more smooth and no glitches or problems. Sadly this is one of the few apps that doesn’t lie in the ad, so if you want a game like this I just suggest getting it anyway. If you like brain puzzles, this is for you.

Needs some work. There are glitches where you win the money and increase your stash, but as soon as you click level up for the next round, your stash decreases back to what it was in the previous round. Example: I start a level with $380. I win the level and I can see it has increased to $410. I watch the ad and then click next level and I am back to $380. This can continue to happen for several rounds.

As to the ads, yes there are plenty of them but many times you can click out of them fairly quickly. Also, I noticed as you progress through the levels it may skip pushing an ad on you after every game. Conversely, twice now I had an ad come up that just sat there and didn’t run its course and the only way out was to reboot the game.

I appreciate that the developer actually listened to people complaining about misleading ads showing a game that didn’t exist and kudos to him for coming up with something. But overall, it gets old quickly, is fairly repetitive and needs those glitches fixed. I have deleted it but will keep an eye out to see if he upgrades it down the road.

It’s kinda like the ad version of garden escapes. The game is incredibly bugged, which can be hilarious or irritating.

On one hand, you can continue to manipulate the game in the background even after a game over or a victory is achieved, meaning it is possible to lose and win at the same time. You can also sometimes exploit glitches such as zombies dying when the level loads , or quickly clicking the “next round” before a rock drops to obtain an easy victory.

On the other hand, sometimes you must reload a level several times to get the lava to be properly affected by gravity; simply pulling pins in the right order isn’t enough.

There is only one song, which can be turned off but the game is too quiet so most leave it on. It is catchy, but gets old after a while.

The story mode is cool, but also bugged; I’ve been earning for the car to give to your wife for nearly 130 levels now and still haven’t progressed.

The artwork and animation is very simple and shoddy, but also charming and memorable.

Tl;dr give the game a 4/5 for trying to satisfy what we wanted from gardenscapes and not using excessive ads, but it needs work and some serious debugging. I’d fund it’s development if I knew where to send to the creator :D
