It is so fun for the first 15 levels. Then to get anything done, it takes 30 of something you have to spend 40 energy (or more) on to get JUST ONE of. Oh, and that thing has a time limit of a couple days so you literally cannot complete a huge chunk of quests without spending significant money. The few things you can grind are a very long, boring grind indeed. TLDR: don't bother unless you enjoy spending lots of money on a cutesy game.

My last review was 2 stars. 3 years playing the game. Thought I'd give it more time to see if it improves. The current challenge called "Sneaky Games" takes the cake. On the 2nd out of 3 islands & almost to the end when ONE of the challenge items (the shellphone) takes a whopping 4,784 energy points. You pretty much HAVE to make purchases to get through the levels now. The purchase prices have only increased. I just bank off of leaderboard points now instead of enjoying playing the game.

It's hard to get enough energy to be successful in the game. I accidentally deleted a shipment when trying to do the magnifying glass, and there is no way to get it back. Tried talking with support about it and spent an hour on their support text without support. I'll change the review if I ever hear back from support. I wish they had an option to scroll through the shipment options, not delete them. Now I can't get the key I need.

Never seem to have enough energy to spend to complete ANY tasks. It is insane to have to spend half of your energy on one item! The game is fun but it is difficult to want to play when you can't ever afford anything to move forward in an island. Also it is hard to give the merchant anything when I can't see all of what he wants only some. Once you delete a shipment on ACCIDENT there's no possibility of getting it back to give that item to the merchant. Very frustrating at times trying to play.

Edit: Crashing seems to have been resolved since my last review. So I've updated the stars to account for that. Original review is below. My biggest complaint is it crashes constantly. Other than that it's not a bad click and wait style game. The animation and level designs are pretty good too. I just wish it didn't crash multiple times a day to the point where it's unplayable. Had to uninstall it because I just couldn't play it.

Too many pop-ups every time you open the game, mostly about paid bundles. Even when fully zoomed in, it can be VERY easy to accidentally tap a task that requires paid rubies, and use one, which is either poor design or straight up malicious. The game requires too much waiting to be fun. I'd recommend a game you can buy upfront, like Stardew Valley.
