Community Insight:
Enjoy this and all the Garden Gnomes games. Prefer the early ones like this one when we want something entertaining and not too difficult. Graphics are great, much better then many other build games, so we find ourselves coming back to the Gnomes and a few other build games that arent too stressful and have great visuals.
UPDATE: we see that they havent updated this app in the last year, so its not likely that theyll fix the issue we mentioned BUT we found a workaround! Use the app switching gesture to shrink the app window so you can see the timer. Heh! Itll have to do for now. ___ we bought this game on our iphone cos we got it for sale on our Switch and loved it so much, we wanted it on our phone, too. ^^ One significant issue: we are playing on an iphone 12 mini and we cant see the timer in the game because its behind the notch!! We have tried rotating the phone but the game wont rotate with it. This is a big deal to us; we want to see the timer when Im playing. So we hope you guys can implement a fix for this asap. ^^ Even still, we adore this game and when Im done, Ill be trying the others! ^^.
Not the most challenging, but still fun.
We really wish you could get the one game that doesnt play on iPad to be playable again! Stupid easy? Some parts, but when we finish a game, Im always excited to delete it off our iPad and download it again. You dont have to pay for the other games again, just hit restore purchase. Price is a bargain in our opinion. Please, please make more and fix the missing game so it can be played agin.
We ignor the timer and just enjoy running around completing the tasks. Timers mean stress. We use this to relax instead.
Ive loved this game for a long time, and when it started to mess up on our iPad we went ahead and deleted it and went back into the App Store to download for free, or so we thought. This had worked for many different games with no request for more money. We had to pay again. Wasnt real happy about that but like we said, we loved this game. So when we started playing it, and it kept having a reload thing at the bottom along with do you wanna buy this at the bottom, we were a little perturbed. So we kept hitting the refresh and it never did acknowledge that we had just bought this game. Got to a certain level, It said we needed to purchase it or we could not play any further. We again tried to reload and it didnt work. So against our better judgment we want ahead and purchased it again. Thats now $10 that we have paid for a game that we had already bought it for 4.99 in the first place. We would like someone to look into this, and refund our money of 10 bucks. We had to, in effect, by this three times. We sure hope somebody sees this! Im definitely a little disgruntled that we had to purchase it three times including the original.
The display of the game has the timer off the screen so you cannot see it. The game will not allow you to flip the screen by rotating your phone which would fix the issue. . The time challenge is what we like about this game. There wasnt a problem with the original first game. You would think that a newer version would work better than an older one. We would like our money back or the game to be fixed.
Ads just pop up at random at the worst times not at more sensible and well thought out times. Trash.
Fun game, old school time management, but for $5 you should be able to play more than once. A couple levels impossible to get 3 stars but otherwise easy to attain. Version 2 even easier – even young kids can easily score 3 stars on each level.
We wish we could keep playing more and more levels… Like a candy crush platform base. We love this game but we paid $4.99 and beat it in 2 days with only about 5 hours playing time. Loved it, just wish we could buy more levels or earn more levels by collecting a set amount of stars.
Ads are annoying. Banner at top of page and pop ups between levels. Afraid to pay for game in case they don't go away. Graphics aren't as good. And they have added clumsy features that detract way more than they enhance. Soooooooo disappointed.
