California Escapades

I know a lot of the free games will have purchases in game so you can get certain perks or play faster, but usually if you are on a budget, you can still at least enjoy yourself. I like the game, but was disappointed that they are trying so hard to get me to spend money that I basically can’t play for more than five minutes every hour while I wait to accumulate enough energy to work in the next task so it can take several hours or days just to chop down all the plants, trees and rocks needed. They do give some options to watch ads instead to earn items, but while at the beginning I only had to watch one or two, now it’s up to 6–8 ads I have to watch just to get a stick of dynamite that will blow up one bush. You do accumulate energy every 90 seconds which I thought would mean that if I left the game alone for a couple hours, I’d accumulate a lot, but turns out it stops when you hit 50 and then you have to manually gather more via gifts and other items that will give you some energy here and there. But unless you pay, your not going to get much. So this is perfect if you just have a few minutes to kill, but not something to entertain yourself for longer than that.

I really really do like this game! It was very confusing as to what to do at first and still is at times. In order to get maximum benefit from the energy! The hate part comes in that to clear the land is way tooo much and over all it is just an expensive game to get anything done. If you could give more energy and lower what it takes to buy the items with coins and energy it would be more enjoyable!!! I have spent money for gems and I wouldn’t mind that occasionally but it would take a large purchase several times a week to have fun with the game!!! Giving it time to see if any changes are made before I give it up!!! I really love the concept of the game. ANNOYED!!!! So as I was preparing an item to sell in order to get tools for something else I needed........ the item I was preparing needed one thing to complete...so I was making that. By the time it was made to finish the item......I go to make it now I need two other things 😡!! I had not used those items and yet they are gone!! As if the energy problem and the cost to clear items and the cost to build what you need isn’t bad enough!!!! I think it’s time to give it up until some MAJOR changes are made!! So sad as this is a good game!! However I do not want to deplete my BANK account to play!! So I see this part will not be viewed for others to read! Nice!

This is unoriginal! The game is almost exactly like Klondike if you’ve ever played that game. I do not like any game with the energy system! You can play for about 30 minutes with all the energy you get. Developers: Listen to your customers! You’re NOT going to get people spending money on the game with the energy system! You need to read ALL your reviews and take them to heart! I absolutely do not mind spending my money on a game or developers I like! I am a 100% believer in spending money on apps and games because this is your job, you need to be paid for your job! No one should work for free and I don’t like watching ADS! It kills a game and the experience. With this said, I won’t spend money on a developer who doesn’t listen to their players! You need to adopt the life system! Hearts. There are several games like this that have this in place not the energy system. Fix that and the fact that this is almost an exact replica of Klondike, and you will be sitting on a gold mine. My rating as of now is a 3.5. Hopefully you’ll follow the advice of your players and change things. Once I see thing implemented into the game, I will change my rating as needed. Good luck. 👍

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

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.
