Addicted, but there is a HUGE problem

I love this game. I have even spent a little on it...that’s how much I like it. With that said, there are several frustrating things about this game. 1. The amount of energy to clear items. I get it, you want us to have something to do and that’s fine, but some items are ridiculously high in energy points. 2. And the MOST frustrating for me, lack of tools. I am constantly needing hammers. All. The. Time. It would be awesome if you could purchase those things either with coins, energy or emeralds. I’ve had to wait for days to complete things because I have no hammers. I can’t build because I have no hammers for nails. I can’t make tables for the train because I have no hammers to make nails, so I can’t get the trusses or pipes that I need. Other than these two things, I really like the game. I like farming and the quests are fun. I really hope the developers will listen to our critiques and help with the energy and tool shortage

Love it but I’m spending to much

I love this game! I’ve played it now consistently for 42 days. The game graphics are really well done but I do have some suggestions. The energy levels to clear items are WAY too high! I have spent an obscene amount of money on this game just so I could keep filling my energy as I can’t go to be with things half done. While I’m sure that income if the reasoning behind it, make it a little more worth my bang! For 20 bucks I should get 2,000 or more emeralds not 500! Secondly make the tools easier to obtain! In the beginning I was constantly running out and again spending emeralds to purchase the missing stuff. Thirdly, the special statues and figurines that we earn during events, those should continue to give you the special items they produce or at least make them available to be sold for emeralds or coins after they are done producing. Fourth, make everything available to be purchased with coins rather than emeralds! Not everyone can afford to drop 20 bucks every few days on a game but the game is so well done and so fun to play so everyone should be able to enjoy it!

Need better ways to obtain metal hammers.

I enjoy playing the game however, it’s very difficult to obtain metal hammers to make nails and pipes with. They keep showing the same video to look at and rarely gives me hammers. It gets frustrating because you need those to build everything. I think you guys need to put hammers in the resource center. Also it takes weeks to build up to kill animals if you don’t buy energy. I think the energy level should be increased way more then it is. I’m on level 21 and my energy only gets to 54. When I get to a section to kill bears etc. it’s like a spinning wheel, the animal is set at 200 here’s the kicker each spin uses 25 of my energy at once. But that’s not the icing on the cake, although each spend uses 25 of my energy, the spins range from 5 to 40 of the animals energy. So some of 25 energy only takes a way 5 of the animals energy. Again I like playing the game but it has to be more energy level to complete goals and quest on the map. It shouldn’t take 5yrs to complete a game.

Not enough resources

You should really let people know when they start these games that everywhere you go on the maps you should make sure that you get all of the resources in that area of the map. I did not know this to start with so I did not do this during the whole first part of the map. I did not know about all the secret chests that were hidden that you could find when you get all the resources and go to every hidden little corner of that map. I really like the game but now I am out of certain resources which I know that I can buy them but I do not put money in a game. I need my money to live and eat and it is after all JUST a GAME. So I deleted it and there are more out there and I will go as far as I can and delete them to. I saw no instructions or a guide to do this you have certain tasks that you are to do BUT you need to go over the whole area to find even more things which you will not know about until you do. I will give two stars but these games really need instruction for the 1st new area on map you go to to tell you what you need to do. I did not see any so did them as quickly as possible and left but you cannot do that and have enough resources later on. Other than that it was okay.

Painfully slow if not spending money

I like the idea of this game, however the maximum amount of time I can spend on it each time, is maybe 1-3 minutes, unless I choose to spend real-world money on it. You need to spend energy, and can normally only clear a couple of items before your energy runs out. Energy builds at 1 point every 90 seconds. You need to cut down trees and bushes to make things in the sawmill. You need to cut stone for the quarry. You also have to chop down stuff to make things like cider (which gives you a minimal amount of energy). I don’t see any value whatsoever in straying off the path because what I gain from potential chests, I more than waste in time spent waiting for my energy level to build. Since there is an energy cap, I can’t just wait all day for my levels to build, and then play for a bit. It’s more like login, chop down 1 or 2 things, come back later when it has built up again, and so on…. No thank you.

Loved this game (past tense)

I really loved this game….the graphics, adventures and all that until the latest update. The majority of the reviews mention the difficulty of acquiring energy to make decent progress through the game and this update made it even harder. Not until this game have I ever spent real cash. I always determined I would play for free or not at all. I enjoyed this game so much, I went against my better instinct and began purchasing gems to acquire energy. I have spent more than I should but was enjoying the progress I was making. With this new update, they have increased the refresh time to produce energy in the “oven” by 6x. They have offered “free” daily energy options that in no way make up for the extra time now needed to produce that energy. This is designed to drive you to increase your spending of cash or make virtually so little progress there is no fun anymore especially if you are trying to get through a timed event. So sad, I really wanted to keep playing but I can’t afford it anymore.

Energy gone in seconds

I was looking for a game that had something more then just farming and finding hidden objects this game to start was easy however you had to find out how to do everything on your own to get anywhere and the you went nowhere fast. The energy is gone VERY QUICKLY there are places to get more but you find them by accident because the game doesn’t tell you about them. I am at level 13 have $60,534 but have no where to spend it. The furniture shop is a waste nothing to do with it after the furniture is made. To build anything it takes 3 steps and multiple things like nail,boards,cement so adding buildings is a pain. If you have 115 ENERGY POINTS which is usually what you get each time you come back to the game it’s gone after tapping on not more then 5 items and of course to get more you have to buy jewels. Ready to get rid of game can play it for about 5 minutes then there is nothing to do unless you want to fill orders from a service board. Keep looking for a different game this one is frustrating.

Great way to pass time

I have to start by saying that Emma’s Adventure and Polynesia are great games!! Have great story lines. If you have a problem with your game, support actually communicates with you to fix the problem. I’ve read people complain about how much energy it takes to move forward but honestly it’s not bad. If you had unlimited energy were would the challenge be? But I never had a problem with energy issues because they give you lots of opportunities to earn energy to keep moving forward. They include lots of events that are interesting, and fun to play. And they constantly make changes to the games for the players to enjoy. They give out prize packages when they do maintenance. I’ve never played a game that the developers actually put that much time into their players. So Thank You for the game and all the fun.

Could easily be 5 stars

Let me start with I love this game and play it religiously, but there are some serious flaws. I’ve played games like this for years and have NEVER encountered a game where it took SO much time just to make ONE thing. Some items take 3 or more resources that all have to be made in different factories. To build a house is an act of god and takes forever. If you choose to spend money on your games, and I am one who believes in supporting the games that I enjoy, then it’s not a very expensive game and you don’t even have to spend. With one exception, the merchant. She is way over priced for what she has to offer. Don’t bother spending the money because the very FEW items that she offers you can make for a much cheaper price. And the market is almost a joke. If I’m going to spend money on a merchant then I should NOT be limited on what I can buy. This is the only game that only allows you to buy the cheapest made products. Change this especially and you will get a higher star rating from me. Thank you

4 stars but…

I agree the emeralds cost too much and I have spent too much in a month. It’s hard to get supplies at times. I like the size of the mazes I have seen so far, but the tramp needs things I cannot find. I didn’t like the Xmas mazes at all! You could not successfully guess which way to go and you wasted a lot of energy trying to find the path to follow. I kept losing interest and I would go back to my old game. Too much of a story on each maze. At least so far. I should be able to find the answers myself without going to a chat group. There is a delay in buying from the market and it looks like you didn’t get what you bought. I’ve had the same issue at the foundry. At least that’s what I was told in a chat group, that there is a lag, and that’s why I couldn’t find things. That lag time makes me not want to use the market at all.The last one, pirates maze had long pitiful story and wanted you to feel sorry for a character.
