Spring Valley: Farming Game 4+

I like this game and it can be addictive and trust me when I say, the developers know it! They designed it to be addictive so they can get your money, and digging into your bank account, they do. You can start out with 2000 energy and not even get past one or two screens and it takes far more many times just to complete one quest. Then you got the main screen to keep up with and power to keep up with before you can even finish making an object. Sometimes you run out of time trying to fill the order on the plane because you needed just one more object, but your out of power. I’ve spent too much already on a game I’m getting absolutely no where.

So in my response to the developers response, I very well know all the resources can be found in the game without purchasing anything, but you failed to respond to the fact that unless you spend your life in this game, you will run out of time trying to fill the orders. In programming it this way, we end up having to make purchases in order to get anywhere. Your blanket response purposely flys over this issue. Sometimes theses games feel more like a second job rather then a relaxing day/evening at home. Can end up more stressful then a lap full of unpaid bills and having to decide which ones are most important. Got enough of this in real life there’s days, don’t need to download more.

EDIT- to developers response, using free sources of energy also gets you just a few steps further. It is hard to get wrapped up in a game that abruptly stops every couple minutes. It’s like going to the carnival nowadays.. you spend a fortune to play a few games and end up going home early. When I was a kid, you could space things out a bit more and play all day long. I can assure you that getting wrapped up in something and playing all day long, you end up spending far more money than in games that only let you get a few steps before asking for your credit card again.

When I need to go 20 paces, and each pace costs 22 energy (on avg), and my energy bar can only replenish 53 energy, you are going to lose my focus. If I log in to my game 20 times a day, and each time it requires me to purchase a package of energy to get more than a couple steps, the game is unsustainable for me. It’s a shame, it’s a really, really good game. If it didn’t cost 22 energy to cut a bundle of shrubs on a path with 20+ bundles, I might have kept it as a long term game, maybe even my main game, but I can’t at this rate.

Sorry, losing interest. I had fun at first with the casual main missions and daily quests at the farm / mansion. Its just not enough variety to keep playing. After awhile the energy based gameplay just gets repetitive and impossible to complete. Not enough time to wait for the energy to be able to clear enough rocks to make 30 jars for syrup, Plus make cheese and or potatoes and butter for 15 sandwiches and growing 6hr crops in a day. Plus 15 sandwiches and by then, good luck passing the quests. Youd need to strategize how you're going to spend your time and energy. By then the challenge expires. The actual gameplay for passing missions or quests is just clearing bushes/rocks/trees to collect items and make things. It would be fun activities to do in real life eg. making homemade costumes, jars and jams. In the game, I can’t possibly collect enough time based energy to play the main mission as well as side quests, daily quests and airplane orders that expire too quickly. Without the paid subscription, you get 1 energy every 90secs. The lowest energy usage takes 15 energy to clear one item. You’d need to pick and choose which part of the game you wanna play or else pay ridiculous amounts of money to do something that'd be more fun to do in person. Im not talking about the tutorial, the actual game is just way too demanding with the characters asking for help and offering nothing in return.
