Runway Story

I was having fun playing this game, until the last update. I can’t do any of the levels, because the play button is gone. The only thing the game lets me do now is change the character outfits, it won’t load anything else. I’m writing this review in hopes that a developer will see it, and be able to help, because I can’t even get to customer support. Update, finally got through to support. Had to uninstall, then reinstall to get it to work. I don’t understand all the complaints about how hard this game is. It’s really not that difficult, it’s set at a good pace if you ask me. I’m excited to see this game grow, I’m having tons of fun playing it. The staff is so friendly and helpful, I was happy that my issue was fixed so quickly!

This has the potential to be a great game. It’s got a good story and good art but is plagued by the usual free-to-play mechanics. I’m certain that the devs never play-tested their own game at length. This game however has levels that are incredibly difficult compared to similar games, even after their latest rebalancing. I’m in the 400’s in Homescapes but am having more difficulties completing the 60’s in this game. You simply don’t have enough moves to complete the seemingly impossible tasks in certain levels unless you’re lucky with combos and those aren’t even the “hard” levels. Their have been “normal” levels with 2 playing areas that I failed at before I even managed to finish the first area. I think one problem is how fast they unleashed their various gameplay mechanics, like the pudding and the dye and such, instead of introducing them at farther intervals. The other thing wrong with this game is how fast it ramps up in terms of stars required to progress. I’m only in chapter 3 and I’m already needing 3-4 stars per task to go on. That, combined with the difficulty, makes this the hardest match-3 game I’ve ever played. If you can get past all of this, I promise you will enjoy this game. I especially enjoy how you can change the looks of the characters at will throughout the game. At the moment, this game requires lots of patience and luck until something changes.

This game has the potential to be absolutely fabulous. The premise is great, which is why I downloaded it; I love fashion games. However, there are a few major issues that need addressing before I can give the game a 5 star rating: 1.) Stability. The game either freezes or won’t load when trying to play on my phone. This has happened when starting up the app as well as when trying to open an icon on the main screen (e.g. trying to tap the mail icon). 2.) Level difficulty. I think there needs to be rebalancing of the levels. A lot of the earlier ones are extremely difficult to complete without using several power ups. Adding a few more moves to some levels would help. While the levels shouldn’t necessarily be super easy, they shouldn’t be impossible, especially early in the game.

This game has adds fun to simple matching games by adding fashion to it, with a little bit of customizability. However, it falls short considering how difficult some levels are to complete. A huge disappointing factor is that the new update just restarted the game. So all the in-app purchases I’ve made to beat those hard levels don’t mean anything. I’ve essentially spent $10-15 to start from the beginning. Also, the game gets a bit boring after awhile because every single piece of the story requires 3 stars or more. Really? I have to beat 3 levels to give a little girl a dinosaur head? I feel like these games could be way more interesting with cooler plot lines and less time spent on just the levels to get one character a pair of pants. Overall, the game was great until about level 25. Then the restart happened. Big disappointment.

Graphics and gameplay are simple and effective, the freedom of building the characters is great, but the balance of the levels is utterly bad and completely random, gated by p2w microtransactions. I’m half way through chapter 2, but i was only able to reach that far because i’ve burned a few moves with the gold i got, some i hard to burn 1900 gold in a single stage. The initial levels’ difficulty feels like i’m already at stage 70+ or something instead or level 6-7. To make matters worse, you only get 50 gold per stage completion with no chance to “farm-repeat” previous stages to increase your income, with each type of accesory costing 2000+ gold. So, in the end, the only way to progress THIS EARLY into the game is by buying packs with real money for those extra moves or praying to RNG somehow win you a stage, so you can get stuck in the next stage for weeks.
