Community Insight:
We purchased the no ads and unlimited turns but when we try and go play the weekly challenge or the endless mode, it does not work. The game lets us play and once we reach a certain point, it brings us back to the level mode – you reached 5300pts, now on to level 6. Good game but we would like the play the endless or weekly challenge.
Just updated the app, now cannot zoom out far enough to see more than 4 spaces and can only move around the screen with two fingers down, then the item lands where ever it wants. Help :( New update next day and app works great again!! Thank you.
Cant really find a flaw. This is kind of exactly what we were looking for and thus far has delivered exceeded our expectations for sure. Ads are are few and far between and Ive enjoyed the game so much we really dont mind em at all. Granted Ive only played for about an hour total but up till now Ive loved it.
Very fun relaxing game that you can play casually whenever you are a bit stressed.
This is a really underrated game that doesnt force you to watch ads every second and is really enjoyable to sit back and play, the developers are really cool and take feedback, they reply to almost every review and we hope this game gets to more people.
This game does have great potential! We played for a bit and started getting the hang of it and then got the dreaded out of turns. Refreshes in 1 hour. That means, we cant even play the game when we want unless we purchase more or watch ads. Thats an instant delete. Why keep a game we cant even play.
We try to get a bush in one spot to combine and we do it again and we cant combine it bc a tree is int the way and when we bulldozed we tapped the wrong thing and then we had to end the game please make the game more easier and funner for starters.
REALLY enjoy playing this gamein fact Ive reinstalled it (something we dont usually do). Like the changes/updates and new options. But TOO many times there is no change in number of moves even overnight. Its been a sore spot with us and Im ready to uninstall it again.
Awesome game – literally no complaints about it, the looks of it, how it works or the type of game it is. Our one complaint is that they have a free, daily power-ups, but they never show up in the game Been doing it daily for a month & half, and finally realized not a single thing has ever been applied. Other than that, awesome little architectural game.
Haha just when we started getting the hang of it, on about our 4th attempt, we were glad because we wasnt losing by running out of space, but then they cut us off (out of turns) unless we would pay. Sigh. Just when we were on a run! Deleting.
Ive never bought the full version of an app so fast. We play every day and can still get lost in it for hours.
We initially loved this game but after a few days it became boring. Shrub after shrub after shrub.
Its fun but super difficult, dont expect to actually get to the part where you have skyscrapers because more often than not your map is just half full of rocks before then.
Loved this game until the new diorama mode came out. We enjoy the new challenge, but the bugs are frustrating. When we choose an upgrade from the start screen it doesnt move over to the game area. Sometimes the game freezes. Ive tried watching an ad for an upgrade, but there is no way to get out of the ad except closing the game and starting over. And we still dont get an upgrade. Maybe test the game more before releasing to the public. This was a 5 star game for us u til the recent updates.
Powerups arent coming to levels and reset turn timer doesnt work.
We cant say we quite understand how this is a hard game. While it IS a puzzle game, its a match three and merge game, some thinking is required. (In response to some reviews) our actual review is that this is a really fun game! The graphics are nice and very smooth and the gameplay is especially nice. We went ahead and paid for the full unlocked version since we kept speeding through the limited attempts (we also like that we could continue to play even without internet connection) To the creator, keep going! We really like the recent quality-of-life update. Looking forward to more updates.
Hi team, Love the new hexagon maps in the latest release!!! We tried out HEX 3 Tiny Trails and really liked it. Cant wait to try out the larger hex maps. A few things (bugs?) we noticed with the release: 1. On the Select Map page, the icons in the top right corner are misaligned. Specifically, part of the trophy icon for Leaderboard is cut off from the edge, and the three icons are not spaced out. 2. With the new release, whenever we place an item in the map, the next item always shows up in the same spot, in the lower right corner. Is this update intended? Not sure what other players think but we personally liked it better in the previous version, in which the next item randomly shows up on any part of the map 3. We also experienced the first crash with the app after this release – the app just closed itself during mid-play. 4. Lastly, a personal preference, we prefer the larger text font size in the previous release Apologies in advance for nitpicking! Hope you find these feedbacks helpful – we normally dont write reviews but we really enjoy this game and Im excited to see how it continues to evolve. Looking forward to future updates and improvements. Keep up the great work! Best regards, Sabrina.
Cute and fun, but even just playing in short sessions and with settings adjusted, this game is a massive battery drain.
Same game as Triple Town but we like this one better, because it has no bears mucking up your board so the vibe is more positive. We also like that it offers many tile sets to choose from as well as day or night. It definitely is repetitive, so if youre easily bored or dislike the idea of doing basically the same puzzle solving mechanic over and over hundreds of times, this type of game is not for you. But if you enjoy getting into a Zen sort of mindset and the mild challenge of thinking a couple of moves ahead, this is a well made and comfortable example of its genre.
This game is really fun but makes our phone burn hotter than the sun after like 10 mins. Im on iPhone 14 Pro.
Ok so we put five stars just so you would see it so this game is not fun and quite boring our real review is 2 stars.The ad is so fake and you can barely so anything.
Ive been playing this game for about 3 months. Recently its gone through a handful of updates that have changed its functionality and graphics. We like the older versions because the graphics looked cooler in our humble opinion. We also cant find our unlocked themes that we earned and only see the option to buy new themes.
Like some of the other reviews, we felt compelled to leave one also. This used to be the best time killing FUN game, prior to the last update you paid for unlimited levels, no ads, and more with one purchase. Well now you pay for each thing individually and it doesnt save your previous purchases like they say it should. We totally understand making money to further develop games but we think it went a little too far with the last update. Hopefully whoever is in charge of reading reviews will see the uproar with the changes and will do something. Until then Im deleting the app and refuse to spend another dime on it.
We love this game. Absolutely love it. But we personally do not like the new graphics. It doesnt look as aesthetically pleasing as the ones before, it would be great if we could choose what kind of graphics wed like! Thanks for making an awesome game.
We love this game so much. Its perfect for a short break or a longer session which is a hard balance to do. We wrote the developers the last update about a landscape interface issue and not only did they respond to us but the pushed out an update that fixes it! We are so impressed. Thanks guys.
Love the game but the battery usage from it is WILD. Not even hi-def mode and Im using close to 1% every minute. Thats more than some high performance mobile game. Hard to play on the go with our battery being used up so quickly. (Have brand new iPhone 15 pro) Updating our review because that dev team was quick with a reply.
Love this game but recently they moved the undo button to the location that originally has the hammer icon (where you could purchase items). Now the hammer icon is all the way at the top right. So each time we want to build something we accidentally undo our last move. Please change it back to the way it was because we keep undoing our progress.
Super fun and a good way to take a break and focus on a strategy building game.
Was 5 stars. This was our go-to game – quick, fun, NO ads, beautifully designed, and we liked buying the new seasonal styles, BUT sadly, with the latest update, features that used to be free are now behind a paywall and there are ads. We understand the need to make money, but ads ruin the whole aesthetic, and bro, dont take away the features that help you play (enjoy) the game! If you add more features that you plan to put behind a paywall, dont make them free first. Its just unkind. Gonna go back to playing Two Dots now.
Change it back please!! The new graphics are much worse, headache inducing.
Its perfect for puzzlers and its so addicting we cant put it down – its so satisfying to combine resources and bigger buildings! Love and cant wait for updates.
Its kinda hard to progress when you mostly only give us bushes. Please decrease the chance to get bushes.
We love the game and Ive made 2M score on a level which isnt over yet. The game isnt opening on our 12 Pro Max now, it crashes immediately after opening. Please fix this.
We do enjoy this very much. The pace and object of the game is wonderful, and it doesnt get boring. We recommend this game to anyone looking for a laid-back strategy style.
The only down side is it kicks you out after an hour but good game.
Dull, repetitive, pay to play junk. Cute graphics.
Very fun but it is a bit of a challenge so if your prone to rage we suggest not to play.
Its a fun game, similar to Triple Town, but on a square board. The free version lets you earn coins to spend and extend your game when you get stuck. No need to buy anything, but if you do you get additional bonuses that will let you get very high scores. Definitely worth a download.
Total homage to triple down: the only game Ive had for the last ten years. We miss the 4 of a kind for an upgraded building feature and more points maybe yall could make it a mode? But Im pleased with it. Well done.
Its a decent game. We love the concept but the fact that you run out of turns before waiting another hour to play again is kind of dumb to us so we wont be playing again but was fun while it lasted.
There are no ads and no ongoing micro transactions. The free version is basically a demo, then you pay a very modest amount to unlock the full game. It is a breath of fresh air in mobile gaming. Bravo devs, well developed, and very enjoyable.
This game is hopelessly addictive. We have honestly found ourselves sitting for hours and loosing ourselves. Its such a simple game! We do love it.
Our height score on the prairies is 683.57k and still going. We just thought that was impressive. Anyway to actually give a review. The game is great. We play games when Im board as most people do and it keeps our attention for a long time which is hard for us because we get board with a game easily. The art style is also simple but cute. Have a good day. :).
Fantastic game, glad to see more and more being adding we would like to see a couple bigger worlds though like a 8×8. We also dont know of this is currently in the game but we think campers should also pay you gold for staying on your property.
Its a good getaway from smashing our phone after losing a game.
The number of moves you make are limited unless you pay for infinite moves.
This game has already brought us so much joy in the past couple of days. Im not sure how it doesnt have a perfect 5 star average. The graphics are pleasing, the gameplay is thoughtfully crafted, and its a bottomless well of dopamine hits. The free version has you watch an ad every 250 moves which is really not a bad deal for a free version of a game. It doesnt feel spammy or cheap. We went ahead and bought the paid version pretty quickly though because you can tell the developers have put so much care into their craft. It only makes sense to support them! Devs, please keep adding more biomes and buildings and content. Whats there is already so great, but it would be exciting to see even more.
Its a very chill merge game, with a limited board size that means there needs to be some level of strategy applied to placement. Very pretty design and graphics. The gameplay is limited by # of turns and youre always able to replenish by watching ads. There are no intrusive ads that auto play which is a very thoughtful way to balance a free game with ad revenue. The levels are interesting with a mix of water, elevation, expanding, etc. But there are still fairly limited. Water presents a permanent block and elevation essentially creates two smaller mini playing fields between high and low elevations. There is some room for improvement and some things Id like to see though. Nothing makes the game unplayable by any means, but it certainly makes certain levels less enjoyable. 1. The exponential pricing for the market is just too much. The increasing cost is reasonable, but the balance between earning vs cost increases are too much. This is especially annoying when the board starts with pieces present so some swaps are a result of randomization and not player decisions. 2. The bulldozer/swap purchase screen is too many clicks away. Maybe if those are at zero, it should just pop up asking if you want to purchase those upgrades. Or just have them on the same screen as the item purchases, just separated by a section bar or something. Especially since the price varies, it would be good to check if its with it, without having so much delay in gameplay. 3. There would be more larger levels, maybe up to a 10×10. The small boards are fun for quick games, but if youre trying to do a long haul game, it becomes difficult with limited space. Id love to see a 6 or 7 tile board with expanding sides up to 10. 4. The balance between what items come up vs score/board get a little unbalanced later on. Its a lot more bushes and rocks than anything else but when youre limited in the board, it becomes near impossible to build up to the higher buildings with the limited space/cost of swaps.
The developer did everything right here. We immediately paid the fair IAP to support him and get the extra options. We love that you can save and go back in anytime, so its perfect on a quick break. Visually its gorgeous, and the UI is smooth and easy to understand. Its similar to the old Triple Town, but we like this one better because of the extra options it offers, and its more sophisticated design-wise in our opinion. Its more relaxing to us. Thank you developer! We downloaded your other game, too, which is also excellent. Great job.
Edit- although the ads are still crashing on us around 50% of the time (forcing multiple ad views to get credit to keep playing) its working better than before and Im now getting to play enough to start feeling hooked. Im sure Ill pay for the full unlock soon.
