Manor Matters Software

It’s a great game. I’ve read a lot of the reviews and responses. I appreciate both sides. It’s frustrating and sometimes if you can’t break your personal best, you end up giving up paying for power ups. It’s the nature of any good game out there. The good thing is that you actually can pay your way past a level. With that said, everyone needs to realize that there’s NO annoying ads here. No pop up after each level. That’s one thing I’ve always LOVED about the playrix games. They’re beautiful and uncluttered with ads. Because of that, I’m willing to pay for power ups. A game has to make money somehow right? I’ve been hooked since Fishdom. I do wish there would be times of unlimited lives, groups to join (home and garden scapes) to ask for lives and win contests, and maybe some side adventures (like the dog training courses) as well. I also wish there was a way to choose levels of difficulty. Easy, medium, difficult. That might curb the feeling of being always trapped where you are. Thank you for having clean and beautiful games. I love that they’re ad free and fun. I can’t wait to see what’s next.

I was apprehensive about getting a game from this developer- I’m not a fan of Homescapes or Gardenscapes, but this game excels where the others fall short. For starters, the gameplay is far less repetitive. There are frequently new scenes, modes, objects to find, and places for objects to be found. The scenes are challenging, but never feel impossible (an issue I had with the Gardenscapes/Homescapes tile-matching gameplay). The artwork is very pretty as well. Essentially, the tile-matching mechanism in other games is a mind-numbing chore, but the hidden object gameplay in this game is actually fun to play! Additionally, renovating and exploring the mansion is a lot of fun. I really like that you can change the design decisions after you initially make them. The gameplay is challenging and pretty, the story is fun and interesting, the mansion has plenty of interactive options, and the “energy” mechanic is very reasonable (energy isn’t lost if you win the scene and replenishes fairly quickly). I definitely recommend this game! EDIT: Literally as I was writing this review, the game updated, changing the energy mechanic for the worse. Energy is now lost EVEN IF you complete the scene, and doesn’t replenish as you’re playing scenes. I’m really bummed about this, and I’ll be playing a lot less because of it.

I play several Playrix games and have never been disappointed. I find them challenging and, while sometimes it might take me several tries, I eventually get through each level... until this game. I appreciate a challenge though have been very frustrated with it due to not enough time to clear almost every scene within even a few attempts. This Playrix game is different in that you can go close in and then expand the screen. That’s a great feature but, given the extremely short clock time, it’s nearly impossible to use that feature and complete a scene. Please add at least 30 seconds to the standard time clock. Update: Became more and more apparent that this game provides a lot more frustration than fun. It’s too bad, as it has some great features other than not enough time given to clear most every scene. Will continue to play the other Playrix games though am deleting this one. Response to developers - There’s a balance between challenging and fun. I don’t believe having just 2 minutes to complete a scene is enough time to meet that balance.
