However, the core game play loop is locked behind a star system that DOES NOT put the player first. in order to complete tasks you must have stars and to get stars you must complete puzzles. The puzzles are designed to not give you enough turns to complete them forcing you to either wait 25 minutes -ish, or pushes you to the store where you can buy coins. at approximately $1.00 a turn to attempt a puzzle. BUT WAIT, There's more. having enough attempts is NOT enough to complete the puzzles, they require "Boosters" (bombs, rockets and the like) The levels themselves can NOT be finished, (without GOD-like RNG) and the "boosters" well you guessed it! Will cost you REAL money to acquire. A single pack of these little "Booster" items costs approximately $2.00 so now you are up to $3.00 a play, with a single task in game; e.g. Sweeping the floor, requires a single star and RNG dependent your looking at least $9.00 $12.00 per task if you aren't willing to wait for your attempts to refill. In short, a SHAMELESS money sink that is more a slot machine for the OCD afflicted than an actual "Game". Avoid until the Game/Micro-transactions become more player friendly.… Expand

    This game is total butt. The ads suck, the gameplay is a clone of candy crush, and it's not a great mobile game.

    Money Pit.
    Okay. It’s all over now. Your at will banning and blocking accounts has killed this game. I am out of coins and power ups. I’ve spent at least $3000 on this game and you clowns want screw it up. Well thanks to your unscrupulous way of doing business, I’m quitting this game. Will never play another Playrix game. I hope I can leave a review and rating on the App Store. It    Money Pit.

It won’t be flattering, believe me. Seems to 2 founders brought their KGB style into the game. This isn’t the only game in town. Hopefully there is someone in your company is smart enough to see that. Then again, Playrix is all about the $$$. They don’t give a crap about their loyal players. This just might be the review I leave on the App Store. Copy and paste it.
    User score defaulted to 10. It’s a 2 at best….
    Thanks for nothing. Hope Playrix goes down like the Titanic. I’m usually very fair minded and mild mannered. Except when I am taken advantage of. That’s what Playrix is doing. I’m not done with you yet. Google, App Store and anywhere else I can leave this honest review will be utilized.
    You may not be based in Russia but your founders and tactics are. Thievery’s your business practice.    … Expand

    If you’ve conquered Gardenscapes and are looking for a new version of roughly the same experience, Homescapes is a must-play. But newcomers to the series should stick to Gardenscapes for now, at least until Homescapes catches up to all the updates and enhancements of the original.
