Super money grubbing app. Such a shame!
I normally love Playrix games, and also have Township which is great, but at least in Township you can advance without coughing up mega-bucks. NOT SO WITH THIS GAME. It is nearly impossible to advance without buying extra bombs, etc at every...single...level. And although you earn coins when you defeat each level, it's not nearly enough. For example, you win about $50-$75 per level, but bombs cost $1,300-$1,900, extending time or lives cost $900, and remember, this is for almost every level. Do the math. Play long enough and you are hemorrhaging real $$$.
Then there's the butler, who will not so much as make a phone call without costing you a star or 2. You get exactly 1 star per level you defeat, see previous paragraph. You can't even start a new day without stars! To put this in perspective, I got to Day 4, and by then I had shelled out about $60- of real money.
Gotta say I'm super disappointed. I had a previous PC version of this game and it was super cute. You had yard sales to get $ to fix up the house and gardens, and it was great fun. I really wanted a new version of that game, not just another 3 match game, but it was everything else that makes this game truly unforgivable.
So bottom line, if you want a cute little game with good graphics, and you have hundreds of dollars to shell out to play it, grab this game. If you don't have hundreds of $$$$$ to spend playing a game, then AVOID, AVOID, AVOID!
