Homescapes is a fun way to pass the time
I have enjoyed this game. Its only taken about 2 1/2 weeks to get to level 115. Its quite a challenge and gets exciting when all the pieces fall together and you have completed the level and can remodel the house. My only complaint might be that it gets boring if I am stuck on a level for a couple of days and the pieces aren't loading to my advantage so I can move on to the next level. I would also like to be able to remodel or decorate faster and exclude all the sidelines like greeting people or calling someone, etc. This is a great game. Try it, you will like it.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Not what I was led to believe it would be
    Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    Look at the icon for this game. See the pins (or rods or whatever you want to call them)? I got this game because while I was playing another game I was shown an ad for this game, where the idea was to pull pins to make things happen, and you want to make the good thing happen instead of the bad thing. As that kind of game, which was how it was advertised to me and thus how I'm rating it, this product earns a rating of zero stars, but I can't give it that, so I begrudgingly give it one star.

    I've played nearly 400 levels of this game, and been presented with only half a dozen or so mini-levels. Most of the mini-levels aren't even the pin-pulling mini-levels. So, if you're here thinking you're going to be pulling pins, you are sorely mistaken. Adding pin-pulling to the game is a marketing ploy, pure and simple. Having even a couple of pin-pulling mini-levels in the game is enough to deny claims of false advertising, perhaps, but that doesn't make the practice an ethical one. It is unethical to the core. Some might say the game is described on the web site as a match-three game, and that is a bit clearer on the desktop version of the web site than in the app store on the tablet, where I downloaded the game.

    I've seen ads for other games that advertise this pin-pulling feature, and downloaded some. None of them had me pulling pins when I began play. I uninstalled every one of them after playing for perhaps thirty minutes and not seeing any pin-pulling. I kept playing Homescapes in hope of seeing more pin-pulling mini-levels, but it's been probably 100 levels since I've seen one. So now it's uninstalled too.

    Even if you're here for a match-three game, Homescapes is designed to sucker you into paying real money for in-game items to get you past the ridiculously difficult levels. What makes some of these levels so difficult is the extremely low number of moves allowed in which to attain the level's objective. You're allowed to start the level with bonus items such as bombs, rockets, planes, and globes that do special things to clear lots of items in one move, but when you select these items to start a level with, they're placed in the worst possible positions on the level to give you any help, and sometimes they mess up an arrangement of pieces designed by the developers to get the level started. So you're better off not selecting any bonus items to start most of the levels. But you need them to have any chance at clearing the level. Thing is, sometimes the bonus items fall in just the right place to be helpful. So the idea is that you'll want to keep selecting them each time you play, and when you run out, you'll spend real money to buy more.

    I could keep going on about how this game is designed to make you need to spend money to keep making progress. Even if you were to spend money on bonus items, there's no guarantee they will help.

    As a brain game, Homescapes fails to impress me. You need luck to win, and "luck" in an app is computer programming masquerading as randomness, which can be easily weighed for you or against you without your ever realizing it, because you can't see the source code. Playing Homescapes is basically an exercise in patience and waiting for "luck" to give you opportunities you can leverage towards winning, and having the in-game resources you'll need at the end of the game to finish it off, because on many levels you won't start with enough moves to win. There were many times I almost finish the level, getting within one or two pieces, and at that point, the temptation to do what is necessary to clear those last pieces is great, especially knowing that it is within your grasp if you're just willing to pay.

    I'm not against developers of games being paid for their work. But this in-app purchasing isn't for me. Make me watch ads. Charge me a flat upfront fee if you want, but then the game had better be what you have led me to believe it is.

    Highly recommend that you avoid this game if you expect to be pulling pins.

    3.0 out of 5 stars many levels are too difficult
    Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    The graphics are good and the game play is enjoyable, but many of the levels are extremely difficult. I don't buy the in game options, but even if I did, I don't think it would help much because using the bonus items doesn't really make it easier. The best way to clear levels is by using combos, but you can't place the "helper" items, they are placed randomly into the game start, so it is often impossible to make a combo with them.
    The difficulty is that pieces start out in a specific placement that often allows only a single move. That makes it hard to plan ahead and form combos. I am assuming that all of the levels ARE beatable. In most games there is an element of learning involved --ok, I need to clear this section so that these pieces drop down and clear this other section. In this game it seems to be --just play until it randomly works. I like games that offer a challenge, but there needs to be a way to see how you could beat the level--either by specific moves, or using a specific bonus, or something. I'm getting bored and about ready to delete the game completely.
    I like the decoration idea, but tasks are extremely limited (open the staircase) and require you to beat several levels, which means that you can only complete about one decorating task a week. That makes the decorating pretty irrelevant to the game ,(when it was the original attraction for me.) I can spend money to change items, but I think that is only after you "unlock" that area. I've made it to the kitchen and my tasks are "clean out the cabinets, buy a coffee pot, or hang wallpaper"--not very creative or rewarding activities, and I've been stuck here for over a week. It definitely isn't exciting enough to make me spend money.
    One other note, there are bonuses for logging in every day, but I don't know if they are random. On one of these "limited lives" games, I will try to play often throughout the day-- logging on as soon as my lives replenish, even if I only play for a few minutes (which is usual since the levels are so hard.) I logged in before work for a few minutes and was gifted with unlimited lives for an hour. That is a FANTASTIC bonus, except for the fact that I couldn't exactly call in to work and tell them I can't come in because I'm playing a game. If I could have "turned on" that bonus when I was ready, it would have been enough to earn my loyalty for quite awhile. Instead, I lost the bonus, so now--instead of logging in throughout the day, I am playing less often because I won't log in unless I can play for as long as I want. Being less invested means that it will be much easier to delete the game completely.

    Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2024

    Homescapes is a classic great game! It's like every other classic matching game, but that does not make it bad! You can beat levels easily with power ups, boosts, and items to earn 1 star per every level you beat, which stars help you complete things on the to-do list! It's very simple and fun for what it is, but I do have one problem. The tutorial doesn't show you how to change what you picked. For example, you didn't like what you picked the next day because it doesn't match. The tutorial doesn't show you how to change that! I found out how to change it, which you just have to hold the thing you want to change, but I had to watch a video on how to change it, and before I thought of watching a video, I thought of uninstalling this game. That is the only problem I have about this game, otherwise, this game is very good! But like every other matching game, you can't restart your progress. I wanted Gardenscapes at first, but I had already played a while ago, so I couldn't have a fresh start. I wish there was an option to where when you first install the game and enter it, it says continue old progress or start new progress. But this game is great. Its also free, but there's no ads! It's like that with every matching game I've played, but they're all free somehow. I definitely recommend this game. I hope this review helped!
