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!

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.

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.

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

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

I love this game but.......

I love this game but I agree with everyone else you dont get enough energy to complete the tasks at hand. I my self have spent actual money on this game and still can’t complete the timed events. I need hammers badly to finish one of my buildings. I have cleared the order board several times and none of the new orders offer tools anymore. I’m getting frustrated cause I really want to progress through this game but it makes no sense if you don’t get the items needed to move on. I play this game everyday all day long. I watch a ton of ads everyday the least you can do is allow more energy and offer more ways to obtain items needed. I hope you will improve on this so us gamers can continue playing. Thank you for listening, please make improvements.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Could Have Been a Good Game

I started out loving this game, and even spent some money at first. The graphics are cute, the game is interesting with all kinds of things to keep you busy and interested. I am now on Level 21, and the game has stopped giving me tools. One object of the game is to sell products that you grow or build. Then after a few sales of your products, you're rewarded with a box of tools (saws, hammers, etc.). The tools are the backbone of building everything that you need to sell, but the tools that you receive are disproportionate to the things you need to build with them. Then recently, I quit receiving tools at all. So, my whole "farm" came to a standstill. I can't sell any more, because I can't build, because I don't have tools, and there is no where else to get them. I guess I'm hanging up my overalls and walking away from the farm. I've come to a dead end. The developers need to work out the problems. I don't think they play it at all, themselves.

Fun - but never have energy to play

I really like this game, but I never have enough energy to play. I have been playing to 5 days and I have already spent $10 to play. I wish there was a away to spend $40 and have unlimited play. I would be willing too pay, in-fact I wanted to spend $40 to play yesterday, but unfortunately that $40 wouldn’t last but a few days and I would be right back to not having energy to keep playing, so that money would just be wasted. I will be deleting the game today just like I did with Klondike. Every day when I go in to play, I can only spend a few minutes advancing in the game before I’m out of my daily energy. There needs to be more opportunities to earn energy. Not all the plants I clear give me the necessities to create energy, even though they look just like the same plants that do provide the means the create energy. So I have no choice but to delete the game. :-(

Energy issues made worse

Despite continuous complaints over the years about the game being an energy hog, the developers just made it HARDER to gain energy. The magic pot and rocket stove let you put in ingredients to generate more energy and had a 5 minute cooldown. This was annoying enough when you were trying to get through quests and limited events, but doable. The new update just raised the cooldown to 30 minutes, which is unconscionable. It’s obviously an effort to get people to pay for materials to reduce the cooldown. However, the game pass rewards, which is a big draw for purchasers, depend on spending energy to increase levels. By making it harder to generate energy to spend, they have effectively made the game passes useless because it will be incredibly difficult to raise levels. It is only worth buying the elite pass if you’re at a high level to ensure more rewards. Great job devs - you ensured that people will stop spending money on a popular feature.

Not enough hammers

This game is very cute and really fun to play. Lots of beautiful levels to explore. But it is hampered by one really irritating feature which is that in order to make a great number of items needed in the game you need hammers which are acquired through filling orders from the order board. Very rarely are there any orders available that will grant you hammers. I’m in a level that requires a total of 25 sets of nails which are made with hammers in order to cross one bridge and there are no orders available on my board to give me a single hammer. This is a really simple factor in the game that is making it virtually unplayable and I’m losing patience. EDIT: Really unhappy that this game that is family friendly and I often play with my kids looking on is running ads for a game called Call Me a Legend with images of practically naked women and a drooling man. What kind of message does this send about relationships and respect for women???

Train don’t leave unless you send thank you letter

Like the game but have a few suggestions, I get tired of helping people and they don’t send a thank you clover so I can get a reward make it so the train doesn’t leave until they do. People have been complaining about this. The energy you get doesn’t go far when a bush is 24 and shooting a bear is 25 each shot and you only get 4 meat after?? Also why can’t you grow grass for the cow food once again you have to use energy, KLONDIKE lets you grow grass just saying. Most important of all where are all the hammers??? You can’t build hardly anything without them I think they should be way more plentiful you still have to get the materials which takes time but you can’t help people when you want to because you have NO HAMMERS. Also I would like to see on the farm board just farm stuff leave making windows and doors to the train because once again I don’t have any hammers how about the material lady shows up on the board more than twice a day how about you could actually get her twice at the same time. I like your game but some things need to be improved upon don’t mean to rant but aggravated here

Emma’s adventures (California)

So tired of not having hammers, paint, pipes and wheel barrel and I could keep listing. But I will also add the energy bar is ridiculous how much everything drains it so fast and takes forever to build back up. A bush 24 energy seriously)( 1 energy every 90 seconds really) you need the things from the boat and train but you don’t have the tools to finish the items)I play for the enjoyment and it’s not fun when you have a half a dozen buildings that you are not able to complete. Oh and don’t even go to the helpful store and be able to get any help there with energy and tools. I have given the game a good start and I thought it maybe improve as I leveled up but I’m on level 40 and still there struggling along. Maybe it’s time to move on to another game that treats you fairly. I’m sad and frustrated.

I really enjoy it but to find somethings confusing.

I bought the diary and then the bakery. However, I could not feel the bakery without a table. So when I could I bought the furniture factory. Went to build a table but I needed flour to make glue to make beams. So I went to make the beams. I went to make them they need glue. When I tried to make the glue I need a flower from the bakery which wasn’t built because I need a table from the factory so you’re asking the impossible. Also in the competition, you’re asking for things that I can’t make like things from the bakery. I got a challenge to make the train I just miles away it seems if I do nothing else it will take a week to get there. This is very discouraging.

Energy depletes to quickly

Would absolutely love this game except for the huge amounts of money you would have to spend to play for a reasonable amount of time. 52 energy are gone in 30 seconds or less. This game needs to have the ability to build up a lot more energy when not playing. I would expect to be able to come on and have a half hours playing time. I would be willing to spend money to increase my energy bar max permanently. But, I am not going to spend money on diamonds to use to increase my energy bar to 500 one time. I used the free diamonds you get when you start the game to increase my energy to 500. It was gone in less than 10 minutes of play. Considering the cost of diamonds that is an extremely expensive cost. And, I am not interested in playing a game that I can’t even play for 5 minutes before I run out of energy.

I need help

Hello Everyone, I am hoping someone can help me. Iam writing this on behalf of my Aunt, Cathy. She has ALS and has lost her ability to speak. She has already lost function of the left side of her body and is quickly losing function of the right side as well. She has been playing this game for three YEARS and we are now trying to transfer her game to her TOBII device (allows her to play/ communicate with just her eyes). We were able to get the game on the device but when she logs in (‘with fb ID)it is starting her at the very beginning. She was on level 81 and has spent so much time and money on this game she really enjoys playing. I have her game ID but cannot get her game transferred over correctly. Does anyone know how to help? It would be so greatly appreciated. I have contacted support multiple times with no success. Thank you in advance. — feeling exhausted.

Decent Game

I gave a four star review because energy usage is quickly used up literally in seconds. It’s taking me a very long time to get through adventures. Some I can’t even participate in. I have utilized every way to get energy but can never get ahead. I feel energy usage in clearing areas are set too high. Also, the dynamite wow it does not cover enough area. Either this needs fixed or larger bombs need to be made. I noticed this in other games also. Another thing it is waaay to difficult to get parts to buildings and not enough parts given to do hardly anything. Help! Please make changes and rate would be 5 star. Thanks!

Please fix the bugs

this game is SO fun & worth playing and has been working on my phone perfectly fine for a long time, but the past week has been rough. even after the new update i just got today! this game freezes my phone every time i try to open it! it’s almost like the game is just naturally moving slower maybe due to the amount of people playing, and has a bug that messes with the ability to use my phone while the app is still running.... i can’t even close the app without restarting my phone because the moment i try to, my phone is already frozen and i can’t do anything... i love this game and i just want to play it. please help.

Emma’s Adventure California Review

I like that this game looks more realistic and not cartoony. I also like the functions of the working buildings. It takes to much energy to cut down bushes, trees and rocks. 50 can only cut down 2 bushes per hour. That is not enough for the main area let alone opening new areas and special events. There are some glitches after watching the ads and not receiving prizes from the chests. There is also a glitch sometimes with the daily prize having to watch a video twice.

Great Game, no Way to Play It.

I love this game but after the update it stopped working. It just shows Jim, my avatar standing there and a Native American or something standing there with the speck bubble saying “The Lost Ruins have been opened!” And I cannot move, or click anything, and the map will not open, nor will literally ANYTHING else. So I just end up staring at a frozen screen. The game itself is really great, and I love it, but it take FOREVER to do anything like smelt iron, or cook food, or produce wood. Also, even at full energy, after letting my energy refill for like a week, I can only chop down ONE bush before my energy is completely gone, so in the time that I am playing the actual game, I am enjoying it, but that is only for like two minutes before I have nothing left I can do and have to leave.

Interesting game BUT

I do like this game BUT you can’t get the tools you need to do your quests. After writing customer support and being told that I had to fill a few orders and delete the orders that I could not fill (which I was doing) in order to get the needed tools needed. After 64 orders and filling 9 to 10 of the orders and deleting the rest I have only gotten 2 tool orders. I have 7 building to build which will take 4 to 6 hammers and saws each. The only way to get the needed saws and hammers is to make a purchase. I don’t know about anyone else but I cannot afford the purchases necessary to play this game. Customer support is like a broken record. Fill orders you can and delete the rest in order to get tools. I have done that. Still no tools. Klondike is better. So even though I like this game I am rating it low because of the tool issue.

Game is fun, but…

Both daily (regular) play and special events have become way to resource (energy) intense. I quit playing for quite a while because of a similar situation. I cleared out the game and started over and find that hammers, for instance, are way more difficult to get, energy demands are outrageous. I will probably keep playing, but at a much lower intensity because I refuse to spend all my real money to keep up a fast pace. The ads have also become out of control. They were 20 seconds and then went to 30 (way long enough to decide on a game to try) and now run a whopping 45 seconds to a full minute. That is a long time to be bored with an inane, negative ad!

Too much energy use to play or have to pay

I’ve been playing this game for quite awhile now. Basically you have to dig to get where you need to go or for items you need. It asks for too much energy and if you run out, it takes quite awhile to build back up and is used within minutes. If you need a item, you can use gems to purchase it, but again, it costs way too many gems that you end up having to pay for a lot more. If you don’t want to make in app purchases, it will take a long while to get through the boards and some limited timed ones, will expire before you can get all the energy to get through it.

Not opening

There was an envelope on my screen on Wednesday, that said I needed to update my game. On Thursday morning the 6 day challenge started. I had the first map about 2/3 completed, when I updated my game. Now since noon yesterday till right now at 5:15 p.m. my game will not open. It loads,has me push start then nothing. Screen stays the same but it just gives me messages-use dynamite, train tickets, sell gold, and etc. I have restarted my iPad and nothing. Since I can’t play, I think I should get the rewards since I am missing out. Please fix this now.

Great game but……..

I love this type of game and this has been great fun…..till now. I am at level 17 and since I am a casual daily player am way behind on quests. Amounts of money/gems/resources needed to “catch up” are nearly impossible unless one is willing/able to purchase gems etc. or one is willing to play for hours per day. I understand why the game progresses like this but it saddens me because I will no doubt be quitting. The amount of time it takes to accomplish quests without investing real money in the game is making it boring. Too bad.

Not enough energy

I’d give the game 5 stars if players were given more energy. It started out good where you get to level 9 quickly because they award so much energy for every task. But since then, with playing every day, I’ve only gone up 2 levels. At lvl 11, your max energy is only 50 which is enough to cut down one tree,maybe, or one and a half mines....that’s kinda ridiculous considering how many different types of resources there are and how much you need for all the different kinds of items. It’s making it so boring and hard to progress that I’m thinking about uninstalling it which is a shame :/ if I had more like a max of 100, it would be much more fulfilling.

4 years ago, MsParker40

Love the game but...

There is a serious tool and energy shortage. Takes too long to get energy and then once you do, takes too much to rid any trees, rocks, etc. for continuous fun and challenging gameplay. You end up leaving and not wanting to come back because you will only have a couple of things to do then out of energy and the cycle starts again. I am continuously out of tools. These tools are essential to pretty much building anything in the game. The gameplay is just not advantageous enough to continue on a regular basis. It is not worth the small amount of time you put in on the game to continue to play unless there are some updates that make this worthwhile.

Worst Customer Support ever

I ended up spending a lot of real money on this game.....last week there was a glitch in the software, and it didn’t register when I clicked on some piles. I also lost a few emeralds, about a month ago. I wasted time writing to customer support. I suggested they credit me 10 emeralds... a small amount for my trouble I thought. They kept ignoring the problem, and just said nothing is wrong...I said I planned to complain and write a bad review, and asked for a manager to review...and they continued to say...””nothing is wrong”. I am now very sorry I wasted time and money on this game. The graphics are good, but the way it is set up, it’s impossible to play and finish the levels to get prizes without spending real money. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP!

Hammer shortage

I really like this game, it’s engaging, it’s fun and it’s something that takes dedication. I like how you have to make this, to make this to finally make what you need. Unfortunately the need for hammers (my most needed item) puts me in a constant waiting and hoping I’ll come across some. I’ve never had more then 10 at a time and I came up to a bridge in the map. This so called bridge made me need 30 of them, it’s a joke and gives you a trillion reasons to just spend money and buy some. I did it a few times but it’s an over and over problem and now youve over and over pushed me from the game. Also, the cost of things is ridiculous VS what you earn and what you spend to survive.

No FAQs and not enough energy!

I really want to like this game but I’m having difficulty figuring out where to find certain materials like saws. The developer doesn’t include any FAQs, which would be super helpful, by the way! I’ve been searching online for help and I’ve found a few answers. I’m going to keep playing to see if I can figure it out. I like a challenge, but... And I literally can only play this game for 5 minutes at a time. There just isn’t enough energy to do anything and make progress. I produce energy wherever I can (on the campfires, in the stove, etc). REALLY slow going unless I want to spend a fortune buying energy! 😖

Has promise

The game is fun but is too much a money grab. Way too much dialogue on screen that is totally irrelevant to game play. Need a market to sell extra items and to be able to purchase or trade. Need more sales on package deals for energy and such. Either lower energy needed to work something or increase what we can earn and store. Can store 50 but some things are over 100 to tear down. I think it’s ridiculous you can’t return to previous lands. Need more interaction with friends. This game could be a fun game, but right now it is a pay to play after a few hours. Plus you must work in their sequential order. They also promised gems to me and never held up their promise. Better games are out there that are more player friendly.

Love the game....But

I loved the game but.... I had to delete it, it kept freezing. Also, the tasks are so hard to meet. It takes forever to get the supplies need to make things. Or you have to make supplies in order to trade them in and the process is so long and it simply gets boring. I must say I have spent some money on the green gems but I won’t anymore. Also, the energy goes to fast... this game has such possibilities but it got to expensive and quite frankly annoying once I had to spend so much time creating supplies to create other supplies to create other supplies to build one item. I really hope you can fix these bugs and make it easier.

It’s NOT working!!!!!

Okay soooooo I was at like level 15 - 17 and I’m playing it. And then I close out all of my apps and go to bed. The next morning I go to play the game and it keeps kicking me out as soon as I enter. Then I wait a couple of minutes and I go back in. It seems to all be working fine until it stops loading and it tells me that my WiFi is bad. And my WiFi is NOT bad it’s COMPLETELY fine. So then I delete the app and re download it and it STILL won’t work. And I was sooooooooooo close to this achievement and I LOVED this game. Pls fix it. B/c it wasn’t working I was forced (but not really) download the crappy version of it, Klondike.

Has potential

The game itself is fun and is something I can see myself playing for a long time. However, after almost two weeks I just deleted the game for the following issues: - takes too long for energy to restore to get anything done. - certain resources (clay) are hard to find but you need them in order to progress through the missions. - the game is always having issues “connecting to the network” or has a lag to where what you do doesn’t actually happen for a delayed second or two after you do it then it kicks you out.

Porn ads and takes too much time

The graphics are good and the short stories are interesting but sadly if you just want to play without ridiculous costs then this game isn’t designed to allow that. To clear out space you have to spend energy that you never have enough of and the amounts to clear out are super high. I’ve been playing “free” for a year and have been unable to complete the side missions in time before they expire. Additionally, and what I find most annoying is the porn ads. REALLY!?! I don’t want to see it nor have my kids run into it. Super DISAPPOINTED!

Not loading game anymore

Not sure it was a somewhat decent game until it’s started to not load it keeps saying found a new version of the game do you want to download with yes or no option. Select yes it brings up apple App Store and I already have the game downloaded then if select no it shut out with nothing doesn’t load no game at all. Deleting will make me lose all my hard work and that’s ridiculous. If have to delete and lose all my process and I earned as well might as well not play this game at all then. Because this problem no stars fits but unfortunately it makes it have to at least select one. And no not my phone all my other game apps are perfectly working great.

Enjoyable game but....

I like the game but it is too hard to progress in it. You have to wait over an hour to get your energy bar refilled and it take one or two actions to use it all up. Even if you spend some money to get some extra energy or gems to replenish energy more quickly you’re still out within 10 minutes. They really need to make the energy levels a lot higher and regenerate a lot faster or make tasks take less energy. If each bush takes half your energy and you have 50 to get through, it gets really frustrating.

Lots of glitches

This game is ok and you get enough energy in different places to actually get to play it. However, you need to watch these little videos to get supplies to do things (ie. hammers to make several iron products). Most of the time, you watch the video for nothing. They don’t bother to give you the supplies. It’s frustrating and you can do days or weeks without being able to get stuff you need to complete tasks or build buildings. It’s frustrating and makes the game not fun. I haven’t decided if I’m going to delete it yet. I may just quit playing for a few weeks and see if they figure things out.

Emma’s California

This game is the absolute worse! I don’t care if you spend 200$ a week, you can only play 1 minute and your out of energy! To bust one rock it takes 100 energy and you can earn a max of 60! This is the biggest rip off of money and during a pandemic!!! It’s a good game but only if you have thousands of real dollars to spend! Do not I repeat do not waste your time or money! We have had enough of people stealing our money! Do waste yours! People keep telling you guys to stop because you are really just hurting yourself! America is done with corporations just taking their money!! This game will break a person and during a pandemic and a government that steals from them too!

Long time player

Please let us sell decorations from events for energy. I have tons of stuff in storage that I’ll never use. Maybe you could make the prizes normal decorations like flowers or nice trees. I would use those. Also please let us claim our energy from the energy tower without having to drain our energy supply first. We use A LOT of resources to upgrade the tower we should be able to claim it like the energy from the restaurant.

It’s a fun game

This is a fun game. However, it has some issues. It crashes and glitches quite abit, which gets very frustrating. It’s also slow when you try to collect items you crafted. They say they are just like Klondike, and I must say Klondike is much better and a more reliable. While this game has much more permanent space and free energy, it’s still not as fun to play as Klondike. Klondike is a faster and smoother game to play and they don’t require hard to get items for limited time events and vendors. I like both games! But Klondike is still my favorite.

Slightly better than average

I would give this game 3 1/2 stars. It is similar to Klondike and. Polynesia. Klondike is better, but it is better than Polynesia It is easier than Klondike, but you don’t get as many tools. I like the story line better, but the lack of tools, makes it more challenging. It is easier to finish tasks. There are much less tools given in Polynesia. That made Polynesia impossible to play so I had to delete it. I’m going to continue playing Emma‘s adventure. I would give it More stars if they increased The amount of tools given so I could Build The Products. I refuse to spend four dollars for 10 gems Just to purchase One tool. If you Play this Game, you will need Lots of patience waiting to get your tools. There are other things To do while you wait. Right now I want to see if I can meet The challenge. If it gets too difficult, unfortunately I would delete this game too.

Upgrade

I’m upset. When I tried to open the game this morning it asked yes or no if I wanted to get the upgraded version. Naturally I said yes. I was taken to this page, the app. It will not upgrade and when I go back and say no, it takes me completely out. Not to mention there is no way for me to send a message about accept here. I guess if you read this you will know. I’m not very hopeful.

Technical Issues

I begin having tech issues when I reached the kharia Tribe. I was on level 20. The game updated prior to that task and then I could not get the Indian to kill the moose with the poison arrows. I tried restarting the game that didn’t work. After deleting the game and reloading it. The game made me start from the beginning. Everything I did was lost. It takes to much time to get energy.

Increase the energy

The game is really amazing, but the energy is not enough comparing to the requirements, it would be much interesting if you would increase it. Also, the energy should be accounted during the offline hours! Why it is stop always on 50! There should be another resource of energy by the daily work such as farming, taking care of the animals..etc. In the home page, the tasks should be not counted to the energy as well, it least to clear it and build the needed buildings and factories. The last thing; you can add a description for each level about the treasures, gifts, energy resources that the player would know either to dig or not Or at least the players can make sure that they collect everything or not.
