Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We like that the ads in this game are completely optional. The levels can be challenging but not terribly so. All around breath of fresh air.
Unity ads – no mute, if you complain about ad they will not issue rewardPlease fire that awful company it makes us limit ads we watch.
After many years and almost 2000 levels, this game still hits the spot.
Its the perfect little puzzle game.
We LOVE this game and play it daily, however its disappointing that the VIP appearances in the upper levels are incredibly rare. Many of the save the survivors levels begin with a set number of survivors with no chance of VIP appearances. We have stopped using diamonds to swap out completed buildings with new ones because there really is no point. VIPs do show up fairly regularly in the save the tourists game when new levels are in the works, but that gets old quickly. Please have more VIP appearances in upper levels.
Enjoy the game but wish there was more to the VIP collection.
This is a fun match-3 game. It sometimes slows you down to skip the ads but they are all avoidable. They regularly add more levels and have special events although there could be more variety.
Well worth paying to remove ads. Perfect substitute for the old, good version of Two Dots. We love sound of the waves crashing and the seagulls.
We really like the cute, cozy graphics if this simple game. The puzzles are engaging and fun to solve, with a little bit of effort every few levels. Great way to occupy ourselves on the train or waiting in the airport or a boring work meeting.
This is easily our favorite phone game but we keep topping out on levels and have to wait a couple or few weeks until more are built to play. The special events help this but they arent too often and are always holiday themed. If we didnt have to wait for new levels so often, Id be happy to give them a full 5 stars.
Our favourite game for years, now.
They cant make new levels fast enough – awesome little game.
Our all time favorite game. Ive played for years and still come back daily for our visitor puzzles. Its both cozy and good puzzling. Love it.
We love this game so much! We have been playing a long time. But we have beef with the global leaderboard! It says we only have 300 something rescues when in reality we have over 10,000! :(.
Took us a minute to get the hang of it (like 40 levels) and now its a fun little way to occupy a few minutes or more. Like the game.
This is a fun puzzle with no forced ads and many levels- we recommend it! We spend a few dollars here and there but its not necessary to enjoy the game at a reasonable pace.
The game is super cute, and fun to play.
And thank you for not having ads.
This game has been super cute! We are looking forward to playing more.
Dont know why, but we never get tired of it.
Ive been playing this game since the pandemic and couldnt recommend it more.
This game send us out. Its fun to play & very cute.
Great game! Been playing it so much Ive ran out of levels haha.
This game has adorable graphics, challenging puzzles and the creators are constantly adding new levels. This is the only free game Ive played where watching ads is truly not required to play. That options exist of course, but you are never forced to watch an ad to move on or buy power-ups to beat a level. Truly a hidden gem in the App Store.
Im so addicted to this game that Im hardly ever on fb and our emails pile up.
We love your other game, digfender so much we looked into what else you make. Great games.
Relaxing with fabulous gameplay.
Great game, very fun and doesnt push you to constantly buy things. Love.
There are a few things we would change, like maybe easier ways to get things like the magnet or tornado for when the levels do get hard, but we like the game! No ads, fun, doable. We normally leave bad reviews, but we like this one:).
Amazing game, adds are optional.
Not a mobile game fan at all, havent enjoyed anything since OG Angry Birds and Bloons TD games, but this one is great. It isnt pay to win, it isnt pushy on the micro transactions, you earn the in game currency fairly easily, and it feels completely optional. Doesnt feel like every other modern mobile game out there, it genuinely is a breath of fresh air not to be cliche but its true.
Great game to waste time and just relax.
Excellent graphics, no ads, amazing levels and very unique game. With all those candy crush saga knockoffs on the App Store, this game is refreshingly unique and awesome. Ive been playing for 2 years now. We kept it installed on our old android phone and started fresh on new iPhone so we could play the levels all over again.
This is our favorite game there is. Ive been playing it for almost a year now and Im still not bored of it. Its relaxing but engaging and the graphics are super cute. Would recommend.
Such cute characters. Fun game.
We appreciate everything about this game. Took a while to get into & understand, but very fun after the first few levels.
We have downloaded this game three times. Its obviously our favorite.
Challenging but not overly complicated. Love the cartoon-like look and feel as well as the tropical ocean vibe. Devs, dont change a thing. Its just right.
Such a relaxing game, while also being challenging. Different quests on each level & you can upgrade your own island. Great game.
Its an enjoyable puzzle game with some interesting and challenging mechanics. Our main complaint is that it drains our battery even when Im not playing it. What is doing? Why is its battery usage higher than our messaging app? This is not acceptable.
Fun to play and pick up after a long time of playing other games. Nice idle time killer.
Yeah, Im obsessed. We dont know, its that good. Good to pass time, good when youre bored. Not full of ads. GET ITTT.
No ads and just a fun little game to play. Glad we found it.
Probably the first time we've ever left a second review. Loved this game in the hundreds, and now we're over 1000 levels in, and still hooked! 20 out of 10 stars, A+++ across the board! Should be Editor's Choice (if it's not already)! Quick question: do the flower bundles add land? Cause we've got lots of flowers and statues and decorations, but not enough island to put all of it! We'd gladly pay for more land. (Or another island with a bridge or ferry…?) Also, harbor or marina? Islands need sailboats and yachts and fishing! Thanks again, this is the best game.
Yes, it is based on the worn-out match-three concept, but this game is way more challenging and complex. That makes it fun and engaging. Ive finished more than 2,000 levels and still really enjoy the variety of the levels and difficulty. Plus the choices on decorating your island is cool. We even like the music.
We really enjoy this game. The graphics are cute and well done and the changing level style keeps the game interesting. We're almost to Lvl 1000 and still not bored with this game.
The only one we go back to again and again. Cute graphics, nice sound effects, super catchy music. Lots of variety in levels, from battling pirates to recovering lost luggage. Premium currency (diamonds) is plentiful and can be earned even if you failed the level! Im almost to lvl 1000 and have yet to encounter a level that requires powerups to complete. If you are at all a fan of matching puzzle type games, you owe it to yourself to give this one a try.
Fun themed merge games. Levels vary in strategy and challenge.
Its fun and relaxing! Super cute graphics.
