User reviews

Gardenscapes offers engaging graphics, entertaining characters, and a fun puzzle plus garden design gameplay that initially attracts players and has kept some engaged for years. However, many users report that as levels progress, the difficulty spikes sharply, often requiring in-game purchases to advance. Changes to life/energy regeneration and increased monetization make the game frustrating. Technical issues like unexpected exits and poor connectivity also impair user experience. While the ads reflect actual gameplay accurately, the aggressive pay-to-win mechanics and long wait times on challenging levels detract significantly from overall enjoyment.

The puzzle gameplay and garden design elements are enjoyable and well-executed.
The game has been engaging enough for some users to have played it for years.

Cons

The game difficulty increases significantly at higher levels, often making progression nearly impossible without spending real money.
Energy or lives regeneration has been removed or altered, leading to frustration and limiting playtime unless paid for.
The game employs aggressive monetization tactics including expensive power-ups, expensive season passes, and game mechanics seemingly designed to encourage spending.
Technical issues such as the game exiting unexpectedly or connectivity problems affect gameplay negatively.
Levels can take an excessively long time to complete, leading to player frustration and boredom.

I personally love this game! The graphics and design are amazing, the characters are all fun, there's always a good laugh or two, and I dont think I've ever experienced an ad. Just a fun little idea, maybe you could show players what the board of the next level looks like so they can decide whether or not to use certain power ups. As I said, though, just an idea. I'm not demanding anything. In a nutshell, this game is amazing, I love it, and I highly suggest playing it!

Update : after losing the ability to watch ads in August, I have spoken to several people who lost the ability as well. Do NOT try to con us by saying it's random. Beend stuck on a levels for 8 days. This game used to be fun. So fun , I did spend money on it. Now it's all about the money. The challenge round should not count as a loss if you have won other games in sequence. If you want to make this a play for money game only, then do just that and quit adding more reasons to extract money.
