Design Masters: Home Simulator Reviews

by T#35s

The attending girl is now everywhere SAD if player is not buying additional lives. What for is this girl in the game? To irritate players? This the same rule like everywhere to see same picture of not going further. Now the picture of this game is a SAD women with newborn? Who came up with this stupid idea, do you think it helps cry for game or the POOR women with unexpected pregnancy to design a new place or just to dream of it. Is this sounds like fun? At the level 588 there is no way to go up even with bought lives bc probably there is no further rooms.I deleted this games playing this level for months and going nowhere. Your advice is like treating players like they never payed the game directing them to contact support team. After playing this game same level for months everyone already knows what is does but is going nowhere, fix this and not for me bc I already deleted. I read all your responses to others and you did not help anyone but being nice and doing nothing. Thanks but no thanks

UPDATE: As stated below, I play 8 renovation games just like this and I have never said this about a game. Best case, the algorithm is set to such a degree of difficulty winning probability is low. Worst case it’s flat out rigged. All of these games have difficult levels and you lose more than you win. But this one is unreal! If you are spending a lot of money, PLEASE do some research and change games. There are more fair games out there.

I play 8 design/renovation games just like this. I rank this one #7. Here’s why: 1. No free daily booster. 2. No teams (which help with lives). 3. Games get ridiculously difficult early on. 4. The cost of furnishings are crazy. $1100 for 1 light fixture, really! The best thing about this game is the furnishings are more realistic. My strategy is to play this game first because chances are I will quickly lose my lives. Then I go to my other games.

I’ve had this game downloaded for months and it keeps getting worse, but the recent update has made me so furious that I’ve finally deleted it. Depending on how quick you complete each game level, you can get 1-3 stars and once you gain 30 stars, you can eventually claim 5 diamonds to help you during levels. But now the recent update requires you to get 1,000 stars! Why are you people SO CONTINUOUSLY GREEDY?!

95% of the game is playing mini-games, not decorating. Download Candy Crush instead.
The game crashes at least every week - even in the middle of playing a level so you lose your lives and progress
Levels are way too difficult - I like a challenge but it shouldn’t take me 30+ tries to clear one level
Pricing of the items are so absurd compared to what you earn from each level. A faux plant decor will cost $2,800 to buy and you’ll have to completely 3-5 levels to even be able to afford it
They’ll probably reply with their cookie cutter response of “thanks for sharing your feedback with us, we’ll pass this on to the developers” but they actually don’t listen to any feedback. LISTEN TO YOUR USERS and stop putting blame on your developers when YOU’RE the decision maker!! Greedy and cowardly. Good riddance.

I enjoyed the game in the beginning but after struggling with several levels and finally not being able to beat level 80, I deleted DesignMasters . Some are nearly impossible to win. I downloaded a similar game and am at level 116 even though I downloaded it several days after design masters. There’s no way to beat a level sometimes unless you pay for boosts. On this other game, you can get a few extra moves if you watch an ad and as much as I don’t care for ads, I’d rather have that as an option as opposed to paying for boosts that may or may not help me on impossible levels.
Because there are so many impossible levels, you’re playing the match game more than the actual designing game. Definitely needs some work.

I was obsessed with this game and played it all during covid. It was my favorite game ever. Since they changed things up, and changed the algorithm, it’s become unfair and doesn’t even make sense. For instance, When the rubix cube is exchanged with a red cup, it’s supposed to obliterate all the other red cups. Now it will only obliterate a few and there are still many red cups on the game that were never touched. This is before the settling of the new tiles come in. Also… The very last play is not really a play at all. There have been several times I have actually won the game with my last play but the closing screen comes up so fast it won’t show your last move therefore you have to start all over again from the beginning. It never used to be like this with the old algorithm and it was extremely fair. I have resorted to other games and will no longer be playing this because it’s just irritating now.

First I want to say that I really enjoy this game. Second I want to explain why I gave two stars. There are points in the game when I reach a level or make a move that would have me win. However; the game will either glitch and reset or the items on the board will not fall or get destroyed with the bomb. I've had DesignMasters for a while and have spent $ to get to certain points, but I can't get over the fact that I have to repeat levels because DesignMasters is not going to let me win. It's very disappointing when this happens several times on the same level.

I love game play and design together. Particularly this kind of game. Unfortunately, as you get to the higher levels, it becomes overly difficult to move forward. I have been playing one game for two weeks- stuck so long it is no longer fun at all. Even more unfortunate, as you advance in the game you need more coins to decorate a room. The game doesn't give you more coins as it gets much harder. Needing to play three or four games just to clean a room before you place a single picture is ridiculous. It doesn't allow game friends that could send lives so you either spend money or wait the 25 minutes for a new life. I have been sending messages to the developers about this for awhile. It doesn't seem to make any difference at all.

I can’t be the only one who feels this game is rigged. I think I have played almost every match 3 game and never felt like some of the levels are made so that you can’t win with out spending a lot of money. It’s impossible to form a cube, when you do it’s when you have three moves left and it takes nothing for it to detonate for no reason...... as well has a bomb and rocket combo, they will both go off just for the heck of it. It’s also very expensive to purchase boost, further making me feel like this was designed just to make you spend a lot of money. I’m deleting this game.....the furniture is great though.

The aesthetic part of the game is out of this world, it’s candy to the eyes and the designs are magnificent. However, the levels are impossible for me to beat, I’ve been stuck on level 16 for the past three days. I’m not even finished furnishing the second room. To anyone who’s going to download this game, in app purchases are probably mandatory for you to continue playing the game. Hope the game developers fix this, this is the main reason I don’t play puzzle games like these.

Update:
The game aesthetics kept me playing the game. However, my opinion still stand that the levels are too hard. I had to play two thirds of the puzzles i’ve passed at least twice or thrice to pass them. I think the game should at least give players the chance to watch an Ad to get more moves instead of spending frickin 900 diamonds for as little as 5 moves and don’t even get me started on how many diamonds the boosters cost. If the people behind the game are hesitant to give more moves for each level for free, then the video Ads are a great alternative to earn revenue while making the game easier. Also, it would be nice if we can view finished/previous designed rooms in detail instead of just a small picture on the picture book.

This game has been actually fun but after every puzzle or so it crashes and exits. Now, it could be because I don’t have iOS 14 but it’s actually kind of frustrating having to open in again and again in order to progress further. Also, after clearing one stage, it was kinda buggy. Helen was telling me how she doesn’t understand abstract art, and I had to open and close DesignMasters multiple times for it to show that green tick in the lower left corner and let me get to the book to choose the next interior design.

I have been playing this game for a while but the downside is the game doesn’t credit you all of your diamonds that you earn and put majority of “your” diamonds in a piggy bank and you have to pay if you would like your diamonds that you earned... if you do want to pay your own real money for diamonds then this game might even be fun for you even though the audience is towards kids and adults... if you don’t want to pay I don’t recommend and on top of that there are a lot of ads.😔😒lol but fr I don’t recommend unless you have your OWN credit card,
Thx for reading I mean u didn’t have too.

I loved this game but in the end had to delete it game kept crashing at every time I completed a match three game and every time I moved through rooms. The irony was it even worse when I had won the infinity lives. It would crash every few seconds. I simply couldn’t enjoy a fun game it was becoming too tedious and I rather buy a game once and enjoy playing it. When you start making a game to hard where it takes me a day to complete a level I get bored so with all the above problems as always delete move onto next game.

Every time you want to lay down a piece, you have to play a mini-game to earn money to buy it. It's incredibly frustrating because you spend 90% of the time playing these games instead of actually designing. If I wanted to play Candy Crush, I would download that. But this an interior design game! This is a shame since the animation is so detailed and beautiful. I really hope the creators increase the amount of money you get from the games so you don't have to play it as often. Or, even better, make the games related to interior designing.
Lastly, when choosing a fixture, it'd be helpful to have the option to zoom out so we can see the entire room and decide better.

This game, like many other match three games, is fun and addicting. This one is different because of the amazing design aspect and the designs are SO NICE. It makes you excited to decorate the rooms. BUT like many others I am at a standstill. A challenging game is entertaining, but an impossible level makes you not want to play at all. I have been on the same level for two weeks, I don’t have enough money to decorate the room, and in order to participate in any of the challenges you have to pass the level. This causes the game to be boring/frustrating. I went from playing the game daily to not at all because there’s nothing to look forward to when you can’t pass the level.

Other than that the game is great 👍🏾

I enjoy this game for the most part, but it is astounding the number of times I lose matches… the level difficulty is skewed at higher levels not by making them more challenging, but instead “randomly” giving you pieces that won’t help. Over and over and over again. Then after being stuck on a level for days, magically the “randomness” just happens to work in your favor so you win. And get to do it all over again on the next level. This doesn’t make for a challenging game, it makes for a frustrating one. Why won’t I spend money in this game? This is why. I suppose the bonus is that, you can only really call this a play to win if you’re willing to drop hundreds of dollars constantly. And who does that with this type of game?

by JKoester

I’ve enjoyed this game for the design, not the match three, elements, but for months now there have been no rooms. Even with the update there is still nothing to “design”. The entire point of DesignMasters is to be able to create rooms, not to play a matching game, but that seems to be what has evolved. I enjoyed the graphics tremendously, although it would have been great to be able to go back and revisit or even redesign older rooms, but nonetheless it is a beautiful game. You just can’t play it. If no new rooms are released soon (and again, it has been months!) I’m sadly going to delete it and try to find something comparable. Fingers crossed new rooms are released soon.

by Self-Checkout

So far all I’ve experiences of the new version is aesthetics rather than performance (other than noting the new ‘prize system’ for completing the decor of a room), but it worries me a little because honestly one of the biggest draws for me to this game was unimpeachable GUI. I’m sorry to come off so shallow but I neither understand nor like the new app icon nor the image that shows up between rounds with a woman at a desk. These images neither match the rest of the game’s aesthetic nor look that great on their own merits. I feel like I’m missing something with this decision, but either way hopefully it will be a temporary change.

General comments about the game mirror some others. Prizes seem a little on the stingy side compared to other comparable games but I do love decorating the rooms and I do love match 3 games so it works for me in the end.

I absolutely love DesignMasters and I am very happy to be able to play it offline. This is by far one of the best interior design games on DesignMasters Store. The levels are not to difficult and can be passed over time. I wanted to suggest if there can be a way to save our designs as a wallpaper I think it would be a great way to share our designs on Facebook and with friends. Thank you guys and keep up the great work you do!

I have tried MANY MANY home design games and this is the best out of them all. All of the furniture is super cute and they look really good in the settings. The levels you have to do are not actually super hard which I like because sometimes I get stuck on a level and can’t get past it. Finally you don’t have to spend an acessive amount of money on things like only 350 or like 195, so it does not take a lot of time! It’s super entertaining, and one of my favorite games u have right now!

by Semiprecious

I really have enjoyed this game! I have played several others and I feel this one actually gives you a shot at completely rooms without having to cost you money or a lot of frustrations. I do wish there were a couple things:

1. The option to go back to old rooms and redecorate. It’s just fun to change things up and once you have play thru all the levels (I’m close so that’s why I really wish for this) it would be fun to see what you could change.

2. I wish there was a way to be able to earn more bombs that can be used when stuck on levels. You only get a couple here and there. Even when I am able to win the challenge you barley get anything.

Other than that, I haven’t had any big issues other than the random and I say very random crashes. Keep up the good work!

by Mommaduq

This is one of the better design/decor games, even though there are times where it is extremely difficult to make progress without in app purchases. It would also be nice to go back through the rooms you have completed and be able to change the elements, rather than having them be permanent as when they were initially completed. It might have gotten 4 stars had I not gotten to the end of the available rooms finding “coming soon” on the next, otherwise blank page. “Coming soon” seems to mean “coming never” but they’ll still happily take your money if you still want to play the levels.

There were many updates since I last played the game in May 2021. The game is excellent! It renovates the room in real life! Play levels to earn cash & gems to clean, setup, renovate, and decorate & used to get more boosters and extra moves. In-game events are Photo Fun, Family Garden, Party of the Century, Flowering Memories, Best Friend Season, Designers of Love, and Food Festival. Competitions are Design Show and Design Challenge. I can get rewards in the first three places in competitions. You get rewards as you progress the room. Hopefully, I can go back to completed rooms to fix mistakes on decorating and renovating in the future update. I recommend you download the game!
