User Reviews

Most reviews praise the visuals and the city-building depth, but repeatedly criticize updates that strip narrative context, push monetization, remove/free rewards, and cause support and technical issues. The game remains appealing to fans of the genre, yet these recurring frustrations push many players to discontinue or pause play.

Pros

Colorful, varied board pieces that keep match-3 gameplay visually engaging.
Detailed city-building with great visuals and a sense of accomplishment.
Depth and variety beyond a typical match-3, suggesting a rich world and lore.
Core gameplay remains enjoyable and fun for many players.
Accessibility options, such as the ability to turn off vibrations (and other audio controls).

Cons

Updates removed voices, dialogue, and story context, reducing engagement and meaning.
Monetization has become pay-to-win, with higher prices for tools and increased progress pressure.
Free rewards have been removed or reduced (no free jewels/crystals and fewer video bonuses).
Customer support and billing issues are slow or unhelpful or unresolved.
Updates introduce bugs and balance problems, including harder levels and broken events.

I like the new updates, but I miss not getting a bit of narrative with each item. I now know nothing about what I’m collecting and why.

With update that happened in April changed the whole view and concept of the game. It’s really hard to follow along and I wish yall would change it back to original format. I can’t find my daily prizes nor complete the events withe changes. Not seeing my progress.

I have played this game for several years. I enjoyed the story lines and character development. The recent updates, especially the last one, have removed everything I liked: first the voices and Latin proverbs that made this game stand out, and now the dialogue! The monthly « event » and ongoing story are reduced to a bare summary of the story, with no dialogue at all, so the objects to be found have no meaning. I plan to finish out the current festival, since I paid for the upgrade, and stop playing until this game returns to what it used to be.
