Jewels of the Wild West Reviews

Download and play ONLY if you want to pay A LOT of money to win. I just played one session 12 times and still have not completed it, because I have no diamonds, hence you loose. I did buy 5$ worth of diamonds and they were gone in one session. Nope, these guys are greedy greedy greedy. I am deleting all G5 games from all of my electronics. And I have PAID and PAID. One game I’ve been playing for several years. DELETE DELETE! These games are well done, have beautiful graphics and are fun to play-if you pay. I’ve paid enough. Shame on you. No children should ever be allowed to download these games- it’s highly frustrating and you can’t win. I am a GRANDMOTHER-and started this to play with my grandchildren, they lasted less than a week. I’ve continued, I can afford to pay, but now I’m done. Goodby G5 and good riddance.

HORRIBLE ! ! !
Dont waste your time on G5E... They are the worst App company ever. Every time they put out an update JewelsoftheWildWest will either crash or takes you to a black screen and wont load. I reached out to G5E tech support and after them wanting a lot of info from my device they can not figure out why it happens.. I originally played Jewels of Rome and it started with that app. They suggested that I try JewelsoftheWildWest and it worked okay for 3 weeks. Then here comes an update on june 1st and the crashes and black screens happened immediately. I dont think these guys know what they are doing. Dont waste your memory space on any of their apps. You will be sorry if you do.
HORRIBLE .....
Itunes......please take them of your app list.
I am forced to give them a 1 star rating or else you can not post your review. More clueless activity from a HORRIBLE App.

I liked this a lot at first. Board layouts were clever and different. I player up until level 15 and the locations at level 4 and 5. Then the puzzles got stupid hard. I’m not a newby at these, am at 9500+ in Lily’s Garden one of the harder games out there. Some of these were mathematically impossible. To clear 50 spaces that need 3 matches each plus moving honey with only 25 moves. Right. Then after you use up your pink diamonds for extra moves, no way to get more other than $$$. Price is too high, 10 is too much. Even if eventually the player spends that much, a 2.99 cost is a lot easier than 9.99. So after multiple tries, deleted game. I want to enjoy and relax not get frustrated and hosed.

This is a fun game but...in the beginning it had a lot of system & bug issues such as linking two of my players together, it took longer to roll out the event, etc but having been a player of Hidden City I am use to it. I was looking for a fun, simple but challenging b/c Hidden City just had too much going on. This game could be that game but as you play the game it gets to a point where you have to spend $$$ to play. Otherwise you get to play the game for maybe 20-30 mins a day & you have to wait 24hrs for in game energy to restore. I understand the need for in game purchases but when you are limited to 20-30 minutes a day due to not enough energy, the games give you no where near enough # of turns, you hardly ever get free gifts & you never have enough assemblers to make collections to continue playing. It’s a fun game but....

Jewels of the Wild West is a good addition to the jewel games from G5e. Decent enough story line, the moves available in a puzzle appear to be sufficient to enjoy making matches, and like the other jewel/match 3 games G5e offers, good tech and planning went into the game play to offer smooth playing.

I have loved playing match 3 games since the beta days of Bejeweled. I think I have played them all, or at least tried them all. I continue to play Bejeweled 2 for one single reason, I never have to pay money to solve a puzzle or have a good time in the game.

My main criticism, and why I deleted the other G5e games on my phone and iPad all come down to the same criticism. This is a game, not a college payment. I come to games to escape from the world for a little while, exercise my brain in a different way, and enjoy myself. Not spend a car payment on items I should be able to earn in game play.

I know, games are a business, and I support capitalism with all my heart and soul. But, maybe, just maybe, the developers and owners could remember that the players do not have all the gold in the world to spend on a game!

Update 2/6. Here is my original comment me concern: have been playing Gummy Drop and Jewels of the Wild West for a long time, but suddenly, they don’t come up. I have deleted as much as I can in my email and pictures because my iPad is letting me know I need to delete some things, but it has not made a difference. Frustrating. UPDATE Today: I finally deleted both game apps and just put the JEwels of the Wild West back to try yet gain. Third time of starting over! I don’t remember which password I used for the Gummy Drop game, and it. Is just too frustrating to have to delete and download it over and over. I restarted that game three times as well. Jan Richards I’ve been happily playing this game for a few weeks. Now suddenly, it is frozen. Won’t come up on my iPad. If I could reinstall, I guess that would help, but I don’t see a button anywhere to do that. :( Jan

I have started this game over for the 4th time now. That is because the system will not allow me to sign in to my previous games. I don’t mind—but now the gems have run out and there are no opportunities to add some each day as I was used to.

There are in-game directions given and demonstrated for how to use several items the first time you encounter them, but you can’t ask for help after the first time. Also, some items don’t give any explanation so I either waste them by trying them to find what they do, or I can’t use them at all (thimbles?). Without use of the boosters, it is impossible to win some levels.

Also, the levels quickly get harder (next to impossible) fairly quickly. I’ve played for only a few hours, and I’m almost at a halt because the puzzles are so difficult. It seems to almost require a purchase of game boosters to move forward. I understand that the developers need to make money, but it shouldn’t be advertised as a free game if it’s barely playable without spending money. If you just want to do some puzzles a few times per day as your game ‘energy’ is available, then it can be fun (if a bit frustrating). But finishing quests is almost impossible for free.

This is the first review I have written. I really like this game, and have been playing a long time. However, over the last month or so the game has started to cheat. When you make a match of 5 or more, it doesn’t change to dynamite. Same with making other multiple matches no reward! It’s seems that the developers have made the game unfair. They don’t want anyone to beat “their” game. You make multiple 4,5,6, matches to get dynamite etc. you don’t get the reward you earned and then have to use boots or diamonds you have or purchase more special items in order to advance. I really like the game, but after I use the diamonds, boots etc. that I have I am deleting the game. Although I am at a high level. Do not waste your time or money on this game. It is unfair and cheats. So sad and frustrating.

While I find this game very entertaining I am totally done with how much money has to be spent to continue to play it!!!I think that if you have turns remaining in a game they should be saved or banked or something and that there should be more ways to get jewels than just spending money! So aggravating. Don’t be fooled, as you reach higher levels it is nearly impossible to win without having the ability to increase turns and in order to do that you need jewels, which cost $$$$. It’s fun but very frustrating in this respect. I just want an interesting game to play that isn’t going to cost me money all the time just to continue playing.

This a fun game, but like some other games, I became trapped on a page where I had to add friends, invite others to play, log into Facebook, and reveal more of my personal data that I don’t feel comfortable doing, and frankly, with the requests. I like playing the games offered in JewelsoftheWildWest Store, however, I’m not at all interested in the in-app purchasing options, nor joining a team nor giving myself a player name nor selecting an avatar. And, I especially don’t like to be forced to have anything to do with Facebook. So, if I cannot simply play the game for my enjoyment without being harassed by any number of companies that are greedy for personal data, I will be in the process of deleting this game within 5 seconds of sending this review.

It’s a fun and challenging match game, but the rewards are out of balance - meaning the game limits your play unless you buy packages to allow you to continue to play. Then the treehouse which provides gifts, does not provide the keys needed to open the gifts - and there’s not even a package or resource you can purchase to get extra keys to open the packages. So you’re always behind. The amount of keys you get for passing a level should at least equal the amount needed to open the gifts you win for that level - so if it’s 12 to open a gift, and 5 gifts are given to win that level, instead of only earning 21 or 44, you should be able to get at least 60 keys, especially as the gifts appear for more than just passing a level, so you’re always behind.
I budget the amount I will spend on games, so I may abandon this game if it’s too expensive to play daily.
The other issue I have is that the resources you need to combine items are relatively high compared to the number of resources you can earn for passing a level. You run out of energy long before you pass enough levels to get the resources you need and that is just ONE resource, let alone the three or four others. If it takes so long to advance, what’s the point? The levels themselves are fun and challenging, but it’s too hard to see progress.

This is really time consuming to accomplish as you have to win all the items needed ie, apples, boards, purses etc. Then when you do any surplus stays with that collection not just what was needed for completion. I think any surplus should trickle down into other collections. I feel I am wasting my time and not getting very far. I also never have any boosters to use unless of course I buy them. I feel I would be buying way too often and I am not doing that. Unhappy player who might be moving on... I totally disagree when you say there are plenty of boosters given out free! You might get one or two when you collect from the statues on the field. How long does two last about 2 seconds!! I read that you told multiple people the same thing. If you want to advance in any particular time frame you need to BUY boosters and the other items to help you progress not to mention the rubies that I usually only ever have 3-4 of at any given point. It takes forever to earn those and gone in an instant. No I play a lot of games and yours is geered toward making $$$$$$! Sad...nope it has gotten a little better but you need to reward loyal players more with more boosters and not just drain away any and all energy.

I have been a player of Secret Society; Hidden Mystery for a few years now. While I’m an avid player I thought to try something new. I choose Jewels of the West. I like it so far.

I just have one complaint though. When I combine 3 items sometimes it only clears two. There is no indication that it is going to do this. I set it up to clear that space, sometimes using up a few moves and I finally have it all lined up and I drop the item to make three and it only takes two! Leaving me only a few moves left. Is this a glitch?

I play a lot of the G5 games and the more I play the more I notice a lot of this that make me mad! (1) even when I play everyday it says I missed a day (2) when you use a color bomb or what ever it’s called it doesn’t take out all of them (3) when to move object to let it moves it to the right or other way around Don’t get me wrong it is a great time consuming game gets harder and harder. Well I’m still playing this game and it’s 2024 it takes my mind off of real life stress and I see some discrepancies at times but it’s ok because this game is challenging and it relaxes me.

For those of us who live in a very rural area not serviced by Comcast or Verizon (or any broadband/fiber optics providers), it is so wonderful to be able to play any G5 game without an internet connection and I thank you! The games, graphics, challenges, and rewards, plus the thrill of opening new buildings within each settlement keeps me playing daily. Reading about how each building enhances the community is a nice part of the games, also. Please continue to develop different communities/countries. Thank you, again, for afternoons of fun!

Enjoyable game yet currently I am on the page where I was given an option to reset my password.. now I am stuck on the page that says G5 friends on upper left corner. The upper right allows for a review.
It also allows to report an issue yet that doesn’t wrk either. The part that works on this page is the review option. That’s why I am responding to you with my technical problem in the review area. It’s the only option that works. Everything else on this page is frozen or not available. Please help unfreeze so I can get back to play time.
Your help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Please have a blessed and beautiful day forward and stay safe on your future travels and endeavors.
Looking forward to hearing back from you at your earliest convenience and opportunity. Thanx

I’ve played this game for a while now. Gotten up to very high levels twice, only to have the game crash or freeze and lose all my progress. I cannot create a G5 account on an IPad. I’ve tried asking for instructions on how to create one, but those didn’t work. I like the game alright, although some of the levels get overly challenging and I don’t believe any of these time wasting games should be that way. My suggestions would be to make it easier to create an account, you know, like any other game that isn’t a g5. And also, lighten up on the challenging puzzles that make you play a level dozens of times before you get actual combinations you can use.

However there are a few boards that are impossible to clear once you get into the higher levels. And no way to skip the board despite trying to clear it after more than 30 tries! Makes it clear some boards are designed just to get you to buy extras. Most can be cleared after a few tries. It’s just those few that totally frustrate as the items are needed to complete collections.

I’ve tried all the apps from G5 Entertainment and this is by far my favorite. I recently had a device issue and contacted the support team. My issue was resolved within two days (would have been one, but I could not figure out what to do). I had the same device issue with another app, different developer, and to this day have not had one response but they still renew my subscription until today. I cancelled it finally. So thank you for assisting me so quick.

It’s a fun match-3. Lots of story and events.

Suggestions: I want to turn off the voice but the only way is to turn off sound. Music can be turned off but it would be nice to have a volume slider so we can listen to podcasts while playing.

The sheep are creepy to me but my wife thinks they are cute. The protagonist is very pretty once you get used to her eyebrows. I don’t know what my wife thinks about that.
