My Candy Love - Otome game Reviews

by Jareth~

I’ve been playing this game for like 2 years now and I used to love it, but they changed the ap system and here I am still in high school life unable to finish without buying ap and money. It’s very frustrating I’ve been stuck on episode 12 waiting for my money to raise so I can purchase a phone for amber. And I hate how ap drains during dialog, even when candy talks to herself! It’s close to impossible to finish episodes without buying ap or currency, which I will not do. I used to not mind buying ap but now I will not because I feel like I’m investing in a bad decision. So I say to other future candies DO NOT GET THIS GAME, it has become a bad investment thanks to a greedy team.

My first time playing this game was a few years back and I was very disappointed in the inconsistency of the game because everything costed coins and I couldn’t get any. Fast forward a few years and I thought I would give it another chance but once again I’m disappointed!! I thought game updates should fix the problems it had in the past but nope. The “daily 20 coins” that are given to me for logging in are not 20 coins, and more like 3. I have so many ap points that I can’t count. I had a lot of coins till I got to one mission where I HAD to buy 4 articles of clothing and lost it all. It’s hard for me to catch up and continue my story. Now I’m stuck having to scrap up coins from the mini games and the daily coins given to me which isn’t a lot. I have been trying to collect coins for 5 days now and I’m still not able to continue my story. There is no way I’m going to buy coins because I don’t think this game is worth buying the coins. I’m not gonna waste my money on a game that is going to continuously inconsistent with its “updates”. At that point y’all should make people pay for the game and pay someone to make it better!!!

Would give 0 stars if I could...

I remember playing this game back in elementary and not I’m well pass high school years so when it popped up on Instagram by someone I follow I decided to play again. Maybe play isn’t the right word. The game is very glitchy and buggy and when I go to play the game by clicking on the school (university or high school) they both crash MyCandyLove and kick me out. The only thing that works is me changing my outfit but even than when I click save it crashes MyCandyLove also. The game literally won’t let me play but at least I got the memories of playing this back in elementary. It was still buggy than too but at least I had fun with my old BFF while doing it.

The update put the new game in but it messed up everything else. On the university side I can’t even see my character and all the customization parts are blank because my character isn’t there. Then when I start the story it’s just a white screen with our dialogue at the bottom. And on the high school side, our character model is there but our eyes and mouth are missing, and those customization pieces are gone too. Then when you enter the characters are blown up so big all you and see is their chest to their hips. Also, I pressed the nicer option for Dimitri but the demon girl acted like I chose the rude one. Please please fix these bugs because they honestly make the game unplayable.

Honestly, it was already hard getting AP in the game (specially when you can’t spend) and it was already hard using up 2 AP points when you moved from one place to the other. Now that I make a new account and start over, you even need to use AP points per dialogue? That’s ridiculous. Specially MyCandyLove , it’s extremely glitchy. I had a hard time selecting my avatars clothing and features since every time I scrolled or clicked it would freeze. Then the worst part. I clicked on one option and it selected another? Out of nowhere? The art has gotten way more simple and it’s just not my taste. Lastly, I just dislike the fact you prefer quantity over quality. You charge a lot and give very little content. It’s just not worth it.

This was my childhood game and there was a time I loved it and wouldn’t mind the wait for AP points and such but like? This is too much. Extremely dissatisfied. I don’t recommend. If you want to play good otome games I recommend Hanabi media and 1492 studios

Hanabi media is completely free but the graphics are not always that good, but the story lines are amazing, specially since you don’t need to waste money or pay to play

1492 Studios has amazing plots and amazing art. Though it costs money and the downside is that they remove 10 points per dialogue but it’s still very good!

I have been playing this game for years and before the update, I really enjoyed it. Now, the game is seriously disappointing, Before the update, the AP was used to move around. Yes, it can be frustrating to keep using AP to find someone that doesn’t seem to want to be found but now, it’s 2 AP per “dialogue” including when Candy is talking to herself. So I can’t even finish an episode with 1k AP. Also, there is now a limit to how much of the ‘free’ (aka reward for logging in) AP you can save. Once you hit 1k, you won’t get anymore til you use it but of course, if you BUY AP, it won’t effect your limit at all. Not to mention the amount of money you received for logging in has suddenly decreased. It’s kinda shady how they’re trying to force you to buy in game currency if you want to complete the episodes in a reasonable manner. I’m really disappointed in this. I used to purchase in game currency but now I won’t.

I used to really love this game back in high school and decided to give it a chance again seeing the university story line. The university gameplay is awful. You are charged AP per interaction (including incredibly annoying unnecessary constant self monologue without anything happening just to waste AP) and in order to finish an episode you WILL have to buy AP and gold, spending on average 20$ on an episode. It’s insane! I have never played a game before where it was this expensive to play, didn’t have a choice to skip an outfit or watch ads to gain AP. Like they won’t give you any choice but to pay so you’ll be spending 500$ by the time you finish all 20 episodes of this idiotic game , that’s without replays. The OG high school game was sweet and interesting but can’t say the same about university as I literally SKIP through EVERY SINGLE dialogue just not to waste my time. They are incredibly boring , unnecessary and obviously written in a way to make you spend as much AP as possible so when you get to actual interesting moments with your crush you’re out of AP and have to buy. What a shame, this could’ve been a good game. I don’t even mind paying a little for an outfit choice etc, but not 20$ per episode. Like 5$ at most. I’m deleting it.

I was a bit hesitant to try this game out but I thought “why the heck not?” and gave it a shot. The episodes are entertaining, I always want to know what happens next but the AP and the money are the problem! I haven’t been able to play another episode because my AP is so low and I don’t understand why it takes FOREVER for me to gain some AP just to play only ONE more new episode??? Not to mention, the AP you get from the mini games aren’t enough or you just don’t get any at all. Then, there’s the money situation. I don’t understand, is there a way for my character to earn money without having to, actually, pay REAL money for it??? I can’t do certain things because I can’t pay for CERTAIN OUTFITS! It’s frustrating!!! I want to continue playing the game, it’s fun! But if the AP and coins are this hard to gain then screw that. I’m uninstalling this, for sure.

by Creeksans

The illustrations are great but seriously, to play you AP which are basically points for you to play. The AP was only used for to move around but now it changed to where you have to use AP to talk???? No. I played this a long time ago where the reviews were better than ones you’re seeing.
And the fact they added university???! No. It ruins the whole entire time and plot that was in the high school one. Spoiler! You and the guy break up because of distance or whatever after few months or whatever after you graduate. What’s the point of getting the guy when you’re just gonna lose him anyways? This game really disappoints me now. It used to be good now it’s not even worth it trust me please.
This game used to be rated at least 3 and a half stars. Yes I played this game when it recently came out.

by As Vaca

It’s incredibly sad to see such an amazing storyline, amazing characters and nice scenario WASTED because of the AP system. It almost seems like the developers don’t want the game to be played. It really does not make sense at all, a single episode costing an average of 250 AP when you only get 20 per day. Doing simple math, it would take at least 480 days (more than a year) playing everyday to complete only high school life.
This is unbelievable and irrational. I know that A LOT of people would pay for options like:
-Paying once and not having to use AP
-Paying to unlock an episode
So, in my opinion, the current system is the worst possibility, not only for the game but especially for the players. I can only hope that beemov listen to literally every single review that criticize the system and change it so the game can be PLAYABLE, something that it’s not!!

by ElecWolf

I love this game and have been playing it since 2012 and just recently started playing again and I’m telling you beemoov you would get so many more players and traction if you didn’t make everything so hard to get for us players that have no money. If you added in more mini games and better awards for the games people would be inclined to play more. You literally get ONE ap or gold everytime you play a mini game and that’s if you’re lucky you win. Or maybe you guys could do what imvu does and give us offers to fill out in exchange for ap or gold. SOMETHING to make this game playable. Matter a fact keep the gold and get rid of the whole ap system. I know ya’ll need money to but come on now listen to your people give us what we want and that’s a game that can be easily playable and will not take a month to finish one episode. Like I said maybe you guys can give us a available offers/surveys in exchange for ap or gold the ad venue will get you guys that COIN. Please.

I have been playing this game since I myself was in high school. I loved all the characters from the high school version and it was a lot of fun. When I heard that a college version was coming out, I was super excited to continue the romance with the boyfriend I picked from high school. However, when the college version came out, they got rid of almost all the boyfriends from the high school version! I was super disappointed and decided not to play the game anymore. You can’t just make a bunch of characters the players enjoy and erase them from an update. Instead, they should have just added the new characters to the original ones. This way, players can enjoy continuing their story or select to start a new romance. I have not played the game since the college update and I probably will not play it again until the old characters are added to the college version. That is the only reason why I still have MyCandyLove downloaded.

I played MCL constantly and was up-to-date on everything! It was awesome, so much fun and I loved it. But then they changed the AP system around the time when High School life was ending. I couldn’t do anything. I’d wait for weeks to play and then only be able to have two conversations... It was so annoying because I could never remember where I left off. So I stopped playing. I logged on again and saw nothing had changed. It feels like there should be an option to pay a certain amount and automatically unlock a number of episodes because there’s no point when you have to wait months to complete one episode.

by Aerapark

I just deleted MyCandyLove .
Let’s start with the fact that the art is so cool and I liked all the characters they were so charming, and the unique feature of MyCandyLove among all other role play ones is that your choice does actually make a difference and you can make another character like or dislike you which is really interesting, but you have only one chance to make a difference in plot out of other 15 actions that you have to do passively, actually just tapping the screen, however it was okay, and I went on with the game, and just when it was going to get exciting it made me change my clothes and I had to choose between two options that were both expensive and I didn’t have enough coin to buy them so I literally could do nothing anymore, I waited for my daily coin but next day passed and nothing was given to me, MyCandyLove jumped to high school mood its self and no I’m not gonna pay my actual money for such a thing

by Macias R

Please , I know y’all worked hard on the animations and everything , it’s pretty nice but we need more ap and gold , not everyone can pay money for the ap and gold , Just please make the people get more ap and gold when playing mini games , it will make the game better and more fun , because people after they don’t have enough and see that they can’t continue they just get bored and stop playing it. PLEASE make the mini games make you win more! It will attract people and more people will wanna play it.

by Daisey2211

Like everyone else I saying there is problems with the AP. I don’t mind paying 5 dollars for some to continue the story but I’ve bought some thing and the game took out way more money than I paid. And then I tried contacting help and it was just auto messages and none of the auto messages were for help with getting money back… it’s a great game I love the story and the characters but I’ve spent so much more money than I intended too and I can’t even get it back so it’s lowkey a scam but a good game.

by Poemi

While the story is interesting enough, there are so many episodes over several years, and there looks to be no end in sight. I’m starting to wonder what’s the point. I don't know if I should wait it out or start over because of my low episode completions. I read the help info that says if you replay an episode, you'll have to replay all the ones after it, because you're erasing the story you had. I'm pretty far into it, so it’s not worth it to go through all that trouble, especially when you get so little action points each day, but can use up so many and not really get anywhere (which makes buying them impossible over the long term unless you have money to throw away like that).

I’ve been a fan of my candy love for a long time and mostly play on pc, i had to download MyCandyLove to buy ap I believe because they have changed their prices. It was 200 ap for $3.00 on the website but 240 ap for $3.99 in MyCandyLove . Anyway my payment wasn’t going through on the website and they should update their website. I have seen a lot of people complaining about the ap and I have to say the value of the story is undermined by the length of time it takes to even play. Like I’ve said I’ve been a fan for a while and I have played on and off for around 5-6 years. I have yet to make it the the end of the content in even one route in the Highschool portion of the game. I think it is reasonable to make ap a more plentiful resource because of the offset of content the game offers. They could potentially make more money if more people could actually play the game enough to want to finish it.

by Happy Party Train To Go

This game is addictive and charming. It’s a childhood memory and it makes me nostalgic. I like that AP is used on dialogue rather than movement now, but what I don’t like is that you only get 20-40 AP a day depending on how lucky you are with mini games or running into Auntie. I wish AP would restore like it does in other games- maybe 1 AP every 3 minutes? That would make the game more enjoyable and would make me play for more than five minutes a day. It would make following the story a lot more fun, too.

by Unicorn.valent

I love this game and it’s amazing and I’m so addicted to it and I love how every story has its own story and also the story continues but there are some issues I’m in episode 6 and I CANNOT believe this but I ALREADY have 3 coins and 21 AP’s and the thing is it’s SO easy to wast your coins like things for the episode and buying clothes it’s annoying I will like if the game had like a daily bonus like each day you will get 40 coins and 50 AP’s something like that or at least put daily ad videos or something because I can barely even finish or enjoy the episode or game because I have such little coins and AP’s so I will gladly have that has in my top number 1 the second issue it’s a little buggy on mobile devices like I’m playing on my phone and it’s buggy but not to much but I will like that fixed please and I’m not so sure why we need to choose our zodiac sign you should probably do a quiz of the zodiac sign because I don’t know what am I and I had to do a buzz feed quiz on it but it’s not really me but I still went with it and I don’t know why some of my answers are a little harsh I’m not that kind of person but oh well and that’s all I have not much I will gladly see these improvements in the game thank you

I LOVE this game. Been playing it off and on for years.
The daily allowance of AP is very frustrating, but at least it doesn’t cost you to wander now.
I am so addicted to this game but AP is a problem and the reason I stop playing for long stretches of time. Have to let it build up or you can’t keep up with the story. For those sections (like high school) that aren’t getting any new chapters, why not offer a one time purchase and play as much as you want? It’s not like the clothes you ‘buy’ in high school transfer with you to university or r beyond.
If they did this, I would never stop playing. I would get all the images/ collectibles and then do it all again.
