Community Insight:
Its so fun we enjoy playing it.
Perfect for little kids or big kids.
We love thats it has no adds cause we look for hours trying to found a non Apple Arcade game that doesnt have adds and when we found this one we screamed with happiness and get it it a good game good job developers.
It's the perfect nerve soothener.
We enjoy playing this game it keeps our brain occupied.
Absolutely a great game which is so addictive.
Well, Ive gotten to level 10 and Im not bored yet. Seems like a keeper.
Great game. Im on day 5 of the rehab and we have not seen an ad yet. That was our main reason for finding a new game. Its a great time killer. Very relaxing. There is a lot going on but its all fun ways to earn the energy you need to keep playing. We highly recommend this one.
This game is so much fun- we can't stop playing it.
We love this game and have played it for a long time but why is the Kalshi ad soooooooo long for 15 energy. Its like a 10 second ad that is just replaying for 3 minutes. Im not going to stop watching the ads either since 1 person out of thousands wouldnt effect anything but what happened to 30 second ads Side note: thank you developers for not forcing ads mid game.
We downloaded this expecting it to be like those ads but it never is BUT we really liked love and pies so we freaks with this game.
We would definitely not recommend this if you hate playing games and have important things to do we love this game because Im our free time its a fun game to chill to and most of all its addictive.
It's more than wonderful! We really enjoy playing with it; it's really beautiful.
Very fun and interesting, no ads at all, so far, and we love how Quinn keeps shutting down Cole,although we wouldnt mind if in the end they got together, but Harrison is low-key cute and never did Quinn and Olivia dirty so idk.
Wish it was a bit more like the commercials but still a great game.
We were skeptical to download another game but we figured if it had no ads we may as well download it. There is 100% no ads. We would say its worth the download just to spend spare time.
We love this game so much, everything about it is legit and it's addicting.(we're not a hot btw).
Its very fun even for an oldie.
Was wondering what the hassle about this game but we see now we Love it.
This is no ads and not payment IS GOOD BEAUTIFUL.
This game has put ease to our mind. We love how every character your interacting with it helps you use strategy while thinking about the situation at hand but encourages you to still keep going making the business work and making paying customers happy.
We love how we can earn our own dream shop.
El juego es sper bueno us entretiene mucho.
The fact that this game is ad free makes it our absolute favorite game.
Us encanta !! Muy entretenido y fcil de jugar.
This game is literally perfect !! Theres so much puzzling. We recommend this for people that love puzzles and mind games. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS GAME.
We were playing BitLife when we received the ad for this game no matter how many times we acted out of it. It kept popping up so we were like why not let us download. It havent stopped playing since its been two hours.
Okay so almost every other day Im seeing people saying,help the cold lady and her kidand we are so so so tiered of it. We will literally die before it lets us of of the add. And if we download the game it will be so different. So we were (was is the key word) tiered of it so we downloaded it. We fell in love with the game Let us make one suggestion Have all of the perchesing options in one place we love this game.
The game is very fun and we play all day and all the time and we build several places and earn money to buy, but we hope you add inside the game as we see in the video ads that the mother helps the children and goes home and we choose any house that suits her according to the money and what she can fix and we play to earn money so that we have money to help her really will be more interesting we hope you take our opinion into consideration.
So far no money spent and still been fun.
'we love this game its so much fun.
Fun game we really do enjoy playing it, absolutely love that there are no ads at all.
, , , , , , . ' !!!!!!!!!! '.
Es un juego muy bueno pero pens que era lo mismo de la propaganda.
Fun game but frustrating when you dont have enough energy to keep going.
Fun game for sure, the game isnt like the ads for it but still enjoyable to play.
Its not the puzzle game that it advertised, shocker we know. However, it does have an interesting plot.
So it really isnt like it was in the ad for it but its u make a cafe and you have this food poisoning thing and youre being divorced and you have a child so it gets hard but it is very fun we wish it would make it able to like get more instep but over all it was really fun and challenging.
The game you get is not the game in the ad.
Love this game but purchases are a scam!!! DO NOT BUY ANYTHING. It charges you double or triple the cost for f what it says. Recently we purchased a supposed to be $2.99 charge. It charged us $13.99. So do not purchase anything.
The game is good, but at the end of the day, the game is nothing like the ads. We got the game because we liked the ads. But we also have to give the game credit. It is very fun to play When You Have Nothing Else to do but we would really like the game to be like the ads or the ads to be like the game.
Its a good game with no ads; however its not free like they advertised. There was no price displaying, but then we were charged $6 and some changes after downloading it. The game is good but completely off from the ads. Theres no solving problems to help the mom and the little girl like they showed on the ads.
How do you make an ad NOTHING like the actual game. The rating would be higher if they hadnt lied about what this game was. So many different ads and none are like the game. We wanted to play the game that we were shown. Yall can do that and have two different apps.
We still spend money on this ripoff of a game because yes it can be addicting but it really is just a ripoff. The mini games they make it so hard to get enough points to beat it. They make you want to have to spend real money and its actually really annoying yet we find ourselves playing several times in a day. Call us stupid we guess. Unless it gets better (like the preview for the game) then we will be deleting it as soon as we can find the strength lol.
Game isnt bad, but despite the painfully persistent garbage ads that swear the game is what they claim it is, its not. We dont get why they waste money to create all this fake content just for ads when they could just show that game. Do better.
The ad shows a mom, her,daughter,and her baby In the game there is no baby. Also, there is an inappropriate seen where a guy is talking about another guy and his expression displays heart eyes. Some adds say Gossip harbor is that game! But when you download the game its not like the ad. This game is fun but it is not the same as the ad.
It is not the same game as the ad. We hate when they do that! We gave it two stars so this is more likely to be read.
The ad isnt what the game is like.
This game is fake! When we downloaded it its a kitchen game! But 2 stars cause of no adds.
This game is nothing like the ads portray. It does have a mother, a girl, and the divorced dad, but nothing else is like the ad. Not even close. Its a fun game, so why they couldnt portray the game as it is, we have no idea. We wouldve rated it much, much higher, except for the bait and switch aspect.
