Solitales: Gardening Solitaire 12+

This is how every game should be

I can’t say enough about this game. It’s so relaxing. The levels are challenging, but easy enough that you don’t have to buy coins or power up to beat them. The added challenges in the levels aren’t over done. There isn’t a million pop ups asking you to buy coins, and there are several ways to earn them, through quests or competitions. They have a button to press every hour for coins, and it gives you more coins each time. And it hasn’t asked me to rate it once since I’ve been playing.

The decoration part is great too. You don’t have to skip through a million boxes of dialogue. The story is easy to follow, and it progresses quickly. I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed a game more. I actually bought some coins just to support the developers because I really appreciate a good, relaxing fun game that doesn’t have a hidden pay wall.

Latest version is full of bugs

I have really enjoyed this game. But the last update is awful! I keep entering developer mode which frequently causes the game to freeze up). The game randomly freezes and stops in the middle of taking cards off. It also freezes after I have won and there is no way to continue. I have lost track of the number of games I have lost due to bad programming. I have never written a review before but this is too bad to ignore.

I agree that the issue with entering developer mode was fixed AFTER I posted my initial review. I waited for days for it to be fixed before I posted and it was a day or so after my review before it was fixed. However, I still have occasional issues with the game freezing and losing levels because I have to close and restart the application- sometimes it happens after I start a level and before the cards display face up.
Also I find the large quantity of coins needed annoying when everything could easily be divided by 10 since everything always ends in 0. The other reason I didn’t give it a 5 is it must have a stable internet connection. If you lose internet during a level, the game will freeze and not let you finish that level. I can see not accessing the next level, but can you please change it so I can finish the current one? I’m in the country where the internet can go down suddenly especially during storms.

Played Better Games

The game itself is entertaining and quite addicting. Storyline goes well and their is always projects to do.
You earn coins by completing a level. You use coins to proceed on.
In the beginning the rewards are great. But if you do not have enough coins the game is likely over until tomorrow. The game makes it difficult to earn coins and difficult to advance. The highest I have earned was 4200 coins but it took 3800 coins to play and an additional 7000 coins to help finish a level. This makes a player go into the hole as far as coins are concerned after each completed game. Only way to do continue playing is to buy coins from the game host and you lose them after a few more levels. Then the cycle continues…more cash to the game and soon you are out of coins again. It is impossible to get past this as they trick you to buy in order to play.
I am on level 130. I have given the game a fair chance and am writing a fair review. Unfortunately unless you want to join the money pit that others have been trapped into doing I suggest you pass on the game and find a different game to play.
