Chrome Valley Customs Reviews

Mini games are too difficult and frustrating. I’ve seen no way to get powerups other than buying them and some levels are seemingly impossible to pass without therm. I also have to mention STYLE, as sometimes it is lacking here. For example, sometimes there are TACKY add on parts that I would prefer not to use but the only option is to install one of three tacky, crappy parts AND PAY FOR THEM before moving on. Give me the option to just say no and don’t charge for parts I choose not to install. I’m not taking about major structure here - just junk I would never install anyway. For example the hood ornament. The car would look dramatically better without it - to my taste anyway - but the only choices are horrid, crappy, or gaudy and you must choose one. The amount of time and replays to pass some mini games is ridiculous and frustrating. I’m considering deleting th3 game because of it. Games are SUPPOSED to be FUN - not frustrating.

Gotta add that when you are in a mini game and you know within the first five moves that you are NOT going to win, it kinda defeats the point of continuing. I have run through all available lives as many as four or five times and STILL now won a mini game. There is a fine line between keeping it interesting and making it impossible. I foresee it taking YEARS to complete this game.

Man I want to love this game. Finally a match tgeee that isn’t so cutsie wootsie you want to throw up. I read the devs intended to hit the underserved make demo. Thank you for that! I genuinely dig costuming the cars and the narrative isn’t grating. But holy crap some levels get insanely hard and after 30 tries I’ll spend the ten bucks to buy some boosters or whatever - just to stop the pain. But now that I’m in as deep as buying a AAA console tentpole, I’m finding myself annoyed rather than pleased by the challenge. You hooked me at the car customizing but killed me at the predatory monetization through perceived “challenge.” Bummer. I was really looking forward to seeing the rest of the cars and finding out what happened to the main characters tools…

This game starts out great but as it progresses it becomes way to difficult for what you earn. I have literally spent 3 days on one level trying to get it only to be rewarded with money that wasn’t enough to upgrade anything…so…back to more difficult levels for several days. If I only get rewarded and am only able to upgrade the vehicle (which is my favorite part of the game) with one part every week it takes the fun out of it. Once a car is finished the owner of the vehicle pays you a whopping $250 which isn’t enough to purchase one part for the next car. You should get more money depending on the difficulty level of the puzzle and then a larger bonus for completing a vehicle. I got this game to mess with the cars and those opportunities are to few and far between. And yes…I purchased MANY packages to help me but it got to the point where it would use all of those resources just to win one board. Not worth it.

This game is fun at first but then the puzzles become much more difficult because they limit the amount of turns you can do to the point where unless you pay with crystals, you won’t be able to continue the puzzles. So you basically need to pay for crystals with real money to finish the puzzles. It legitimately gets to a point where no one playing this game for free can pass a level. I find it ridiculous as those playing this game without doing micro transactions have no other way to get crystals in a feasible manner. You win maybe 70 crystals per puzzle solved but to get 5 additional turns is 900 crystals. And maybe after 5 puzzles you won’t have enough turns to solve them so then you end up not having enough crystals to continue in the game at all so to beat a puzzle you have to pay for more crystals. Uninstalled ChromeValleyCustoms as it wasn’t even that good in the first place.

I initially had a fun time completing the puzzles and customizing the cars, so much so that I I initially gave a 5 stars. This however is long over. I am on the third car into the game and the prices for parts are double even triple what the original two cars were to upgrade. This makes it so you have to play multiple puzzles for one car part. This in itself is fine however, the levels that are considered very hard only give 10-12 spots for initial power ups and even if you’ve finished three puzzles in a row to get the engine to max so that you can start with some boosts, they are pretty much useless because it’s only going to clear a small amount of the board. After that though the rest of the pieces are just impossible to match and clear the level with a ton of different things that need to be collected. They make it so you have to use the power ups such as the saw, hammer, jack, and dice. Unfortunately this is a way they can make you buy upgrades because you can’t skip the level to go back to a normal layout. It’s kind of a rip off because they make you pay for the boosts to pass the level. Just my two cents.

The overall idea of the game is great but the puzzles are the problems. I shouldn’t have to complete 35 puzzles just to complete a car. Plus some of the puzzles are actually impossible so they force you to buy power ups and spend your money on that and extra moves but if you don’t want to spend real money just spend the gem even though all the gems that you only get are only 10 per puzzle and when the 5 extra moves cost 900 that will then cost 1,900 is kind of ridiculous. After every 2-3 puzzle you’ll get multiple ads but on top of all of that you only get 5 lives for a puzzle and then you have to wait 20+ minutes for another life to use in another puzzle unless you want to spend more of your actual money.

I wrote a 4 star review a few days ago, saying that this game was good, but that the levels were very poorly marked when it came to difficulty. Many of the level that are supposed to be basic are harder than some of the “Very Hard” levels. I’m now changing my score to 1 star, because I’m sick of the touch detection in this game. The amount of times that I touch a piece, only for it to register that I touched a different one, is infuriating. I also have many instances where it go the wrong direction. I just swiped a piece to the left and it went right. I know you’ll ask if I’m sure I didn’t accidentally swipe a little to the right, but I happened to be moving this one slowly and saw it go the opposite direction, clear as day. This has happened several times, but this was the clearest I’ve seen it happen. On top of that, there’s a bug where if I move a piece towards the upper left area right when a level starts, it moves a piece on the other side of the screen. And last, sometimes I’ll move one of the color removing special pieces, but it will act like I tapped it, and then just choose its own color to remove.

You don’t want us to win your puzzles. If you gave more moves added mor bombs and didn’t make the puzzles impossible to complete you would get more players. I think you have a good idea in your game. I like remodeling and restoring the vehicles but in order to do that the player must win the puzzles. When the puzzles are to impossible to win you lose your followers. I’m not going to pay money to play your game. I’ve been caught up in games like yours before and spent 100’s of dollars trying to win with nothing to show for your game in the end. When there are games being offered to play and accomplish something like Merge Mansion . why pay to play your game. Then there are games that I must pay to play but in return I get money back. Either way I receive something for my money and time. So make your puzzles winnable or lose your followers. After all I’m not there to play puzzles; I’m on your game to restore and remodel. For playing the puzzles I rate you as 1 star. For your idea I rate you 3stars. For over all game because it’s a looser I rate you 0 stars. I will not recommend this game to my friends or enemies.

Have been so stuck so many times just plying the same level over and over for days plus. You have to save your powerups for the red and purple, hard and very hard levels, but eventually it will be impossible for you to progress without spending money. I’m currently at 334 which is half way through this “Mosley” suv. Looks like an old bronco and the level isn’t even one labeled as hard and have been doing it for days now. Along the way it will give you the ability to watch 3 adds to get 5 more turns, which if it popped would make this doable, but it starts with a tiny area open then you have to clear a whole screen. Have gotten it down to 2 things left to clear twice, but no powerups currently, no gems to pay for extra turns and no advertisement option to get more I think I’m just giving up. It’s a single player game that should just be fun, but it ends up just trying to force you to pay money. I’m just going to uninstall. It’s basically royal clash with car restoration cut scenes. Shouldn’t have to buy stuff to make it playable. Bye bye chrome valley customs!

Your making the game to hard to advance boards. I understand having some boards harder than others but when you burn 30 minutes of infinite lives to beat one easy board you’ve taken the fun away. I want to be able to enjoy playing not get frustrated. It should be a way to relax and take your mind off of everything not frustrating. I’ve deleted the game after making it to level 269. It’s to expensive to build the cars for know more points earned per board. Especially as difficult as you start making the levels. Maybe if I would’ve been on level 4,000 or something. But not 269. You have to pay to be able to keep advancing in the game be able to complete the task. Not worth the time to download. Would not recommend at all.

When I first downloaded this game, I had no clue it was a matching puzzle game. So even though I was disappointed, I overlooked this because of how fun the car restoration aspect was. The first couple hours I thought were entertaining, then I realized that the prices for things became higher. I know this makes sense in general, but there is literally no balancing the price of these tasks. Tell me why it cost more to interact with the client than to actually fix a tail light. Then the puzzles became harder to the point where the game relies on you spending money on it to progress. I was at level 173 when I finally bought the rewards thing because there was no other way to keep playing. I never spend money on phone games, and I realize now that I was fooled. This did nothing for me, it actually didn’t do anything to help me get through the game faster. Believe it or not, when the puzzle is purely luck based it doesn’t matter if you have infinite lives for ten minutes because there isn’t any guarantee that you will complete it. I’m at the point where you cannot even do a single task because it’s almost a thousand dollars to do one. I shouldn’t have to do four excruciating puzzles to do a single task. This is simply not fun anymore.

If you really care about your player base, remove these problems. I don’t think you will, because you get the most money this way.

This game was promising. And I’m not the type to leave a review. I saw it recommended on the “games were playing” section on ChromeValleyCustoms Store, and thought I might give it a shot. The first issue was that I had no idea it was even a puzzle game, but that’s fine I can overlook it. Played the game for a solid few hours and enjoyed it. Got the first car done. I also had some spare cash lying around so I actually BOUGHT the leveling progression thing where you get the rewards. This is the first time I spent money on an app like this, and I’m disappointed in myself. As I’m working on the second car, the prices get higher for the parts and the levels get harder. And granted the levels are supposed to get harder, but this is just stupid hard. For the people who got to level 186 without paying for anything, how?? I’m stuck on level 76 WITH the thing I bought and I just can’t get passed it. It’s been two days now. And it’s all purely luck based. I really wanted to like this game, but the lives taking 30 minutes, the gems not paying out enough after every level, the balancing which is simply not there. It’s too much to overlook. You’ve been warned if you download this game. Don’t let the fun cars draw you in.

This game appeared to be just as advertised at the start. It was fun, the game challenges fair and good story lines. As expected, the game challenges got more difficult with each car completion. When I got to the 5th car, things got ridiculous. The challenges (rated easy, hard and super hard) were mostly “super hard” levels and the only way to beat them was to “purchase” the help items, which were used up quickly and required spending more money to continue playing. All of this without making much headway in completing the car or progressing the game.

I understand the need and desire for getting paid to develop game apps, especially one without ads. However, this game is way too expensive (for a “free” app) and not worth the cost. I would suggest adding an ad option for those without deep pockets. Players who don’t mind paying cash to play will have the same game and those who don't can opt for ads to continue playing. Otherwise, players like myself will just delete your app and move on to something more playable.

Downloaded the game after seeing an ad which of course the game is nothing like the ad displayed.

But after still getting hooked into playing, a lot of the earlier levels were easy and quickly made it into the hundreds levels.

But once you get to higher levels the enjoyment of the game kinda goes away. You can use all lives multiple times within days and not be able to beat some of the levels. Some levels require the specials to finish and the game’s algorithms for piece generations makes it so you don’t get those. To many times the game will screw tou and go “oh your out of lives but pay and we will give you more to beat it with 1 move”. Believe the algorithm intently does this. Then after restarting the level you spend 30 lives and never get close to beating. This seems like a pattern the game does. It makes you angry at the game rather then enjoying it.

Other games like this does the same thing but after using 10 life’s you might be able to complete the level. But this game I don’t know how many levels I have had issues on.

Another thing is the constant, do you want to spend to add lives. I don’t know how many times you hit the x to say no and then try to hit try again but it didn’t take the x and now you wasted the gems for extra life’s you know won’t matter to beat the game. Maybe throw in an acknowledgment for using gems so you don’t accidentally waste them.

Great concept but it’s definitely more of a matching game than a car game. I’ve been stuck on a level for almost a week… if you do not pass levels then you can’t work on cars. They make it nearly impossible to beat levels. However, I play tons of games like candy crush and what not and if they did what this game did then they would go out of business. You MUST make levels beatable. I get you are a for profit game, that’s fine… but even if you pay, it’s still just as hard. Y’all will not last long at the rate you’re going…. Because everyone is gonna go back to other games that are fun… because they’re beatable. Outside of that, I really enjoy the car aspect and fixing them up, it’s a super cool idea for sure… but the programmer need to change a few things. In my opinion.

Well I was really loving this game hence the reason I give it 2 stars. But like most match 3 games you hit a level you have to do over and over and over and over again. You get so close that you’re within 1 or two moves from winning the level that they want you to purchase more in order to get past. One I get to that point I try for a couple days just waiting for my lives to refill if I don’t get it after that the game gets deleted. Which is a shame because I had to delete CVC cause I actually like the premise of the game I just refuse to be suckered in I know that’s how the company makes money but when you waste that much precious real life time I’m done. It’s not fun and it’s not exciting anymore you just want to scream at your phone. But if you have no problem paying a couple bucks when you get to one of those walls the actual story is good.

Love the concept of the game but I level 137. I’ve already been stranded for two days, I’ve only been playing for three days, so this is extremely frustrating I will not/do not spend money on games but will watch whatever ads are available. My advice…make ads available to gain power ups, extra moves and extra lives. It will keep people playing your game. Unfortunately I burn through my lives and then have to wait for lives to regenerate without anything to keep me on the game…I will then exit the game and either forget to come back or hesitate to come back out of frustration. Day 3 and already considering deleting ChromeValleyCustoms and from the first review I read from a person stuck 4 levels above me, I am not alone

Honestly, I was really excited to start this game. It seemed fun and relaxing, and the premise was interesting to me as someone who likes cars. At first, it was pretty easy and fun to progress where I only needed to use power-ups a couple time to beat hard levels. However, I have now reached level 118 and have a number of issues with the game. The first is that I genuinely believe this level is impossible unless you spend real money on getting power-ups. Even on attempts where I have been extremely lucky with the way the pieces have matched, I have never been close to completing it without the help of multiple power-ups. Additionally, the only way to progress the storyline of the game is to complete the matching levels, but you need to complete at least two or three before you can do any of the tasks, which is my second issue with it. The upgrades on the cars are so expensive with the in-game currency that it's hard to get through a job, and I'm only a few jobs in, so I've barely progressed the storyline at all. Overall, I am very disappointed with how impossible it is for people who aren't willing to spend heaps of cash on a silly mobile game to play this.

I love the concept of this game and the story is cool (though a bit cringe at times,) however you can clearly tell the designers put little thought into how you beat the later levels without power ups. I’m on level 183, and you can clearly tell this level and others are dependent on you getting multiple level ups and combining them. If you don’t, you will not beat the levels. You can start with them if you get on a streak, however not beating a level on your first try removes the streak. Of course, once you’re going to lose the level and your streak a screen pops up offering you 5 more moves at the price of gems, the currency you can purchase with micro-transactions. But don’t worry! You can start the next level with power ups, once you pay more gems of course. You also get ONE life every THIRTY MINUTES(!!) which is ridiculous considering most harder levels are dependent on getting lucky with power ups. The difficulty is outrageous and the only way to circumvent that is to pay. It’s just another mobile game at the end of the day.

Got to the 50’s Chevy, then they make it where you need power ups to complete lvls. Money wouldn’t be so bad if they didn’t want you to fully rice out every car.

This game had good reviews which is why I took a shot. I played your game for a short time, now it gets uninstalled. I am not paying you .50-$1.00 to play a lvl and I sure wont play one 25 times until I have played it enough to where the stepped on rng finally pays off. You want my money? Don’t make boring rng based puzzles. Entice me, don’t insult me with your hand out ready for my cash.

This game is quite relaxing at times do the puzzles, get the money, upgrade and fix the vehicles seems pretty simple however just like any game at some point there is going to come a problem. For me this was around game lvl 152 i’ve been on this puzzle for a week and a half there is no way other than having luck or spending money to complete this puzzle the moves are short and the amount of things to clear is way to high, i noticed this after using all my gems and power ups along with the 4 help icons to try my best to down this puzzle. I’m still trying but i refuse to spend money on a game that has no baring on life in general. Now i get it you have to make some sort of money to produce updates and keep servers running but when you put a hard block on such an early stage in the game it doesn’t make you hopeful as to further progression in said game. Balance is key you have to allow folks to play without having hard blocks like this, spending multiple weeks on one puzzle just to have cash to further play the game is a bit over the top. Just my opinion take it or leave it

I’ve played this game and gotten pretty far only problem is the levels become impossible once you lose the supercharge. I’ve been stuck on a level that’s supposed to be a normal difficulty for about 20 turns. It would be nice if there was a feature that made it get slightly easier with each failed attempt so that users wouldn’t quit once they reach a certain stage. On top of the added difficulty everything gets more expensive, so when you finally do complete a level you have to finish two more just to clean the engine. If you want to keep users for the long run you got to do something I used to enjoy this game and now it’s just a chore.

When I first got the game I fell in love with it. I like the puzzle concept that you get in other games like candy crush, but on top of that you get to customize cars to your liking. I was enjoying it… that is until you get past level 100. The prices to fix the cars start ramping up out of no where, and the worst thing is the puzzles start to get unbeatable. I’ve been trapped on a level for about a week, even with the boosters. I loved the game while it lasted, but I’m tired of being stuck on a level for weeks.

Saw this game as an ad on another game. Thought I’d give it a try. Turned out pretty fun for most of the time. Most levels are pretty easy with the occasional level taking like 5 times or more turns because you wind up being one turn short of passing said level. That being said, I’m stuck on level 99. Needs probably another 10 turns to be able to pass. The restoration of the cars is pretty neat but the fact that the hard levels and easy generate the same 300 coin value is ridiculous. It’s getting deleted after this review.

Ive always been a big fan of these types of puzzle games. And that combined with my love for cars I thought this game would be a knockout. As any typical puzzle game the first 50 levels you’ll blow through with ease. The difference between this and other games like candy crush is once you get past level 120 on this game hold on because the puzzles become extremely difficult. After getting stuck on numerous puzzles for days on end I was finally fed up with level 197 after 5 days and made the mistake of buying $5 worth of power ups just to beat that level. My girlfriend told me that was a mistake because now that they know I will spend money on this game the puzzles are going to get way harder..And it has. Her and I both extremely big puzzle game players shes level 5,000 on candy crush and I’m on level 2,700 but we both have been stuck on level 206 for 2 weeks of this game. Most of the time we’re not even remotely close to completing the puzzle. Being stuck on 5 total puzzles for 4 weeks isn’t exactly my ideal of fun. It’s a great concept but plan on spending money if you want to go anywhere at all with it.

First of all this is a puzzle game not an automobile game. Which is fine if your into puzzles. The levels are fun in the beginning. Then they get harder, much harder. If you manage to reach levels 100+ they are almost impossible to beat without using power ups and gems. At that point your only on your third vehicle! I can’t begin to imagine how much money you’d have to spend on this game to be able to work on future vehicles.

This game could be fun. If only the puzzles were less hard to complete. You sometimes have to play a puzzle 10-20 times over to get to the next level. And it only rewards you about 300 points and you need over 500 to fix the next item on the vehicle.

One last thing. You can’t choose the vehicle you want to work on. It’s predetermined. I wish I could have gotten further into the game to see what other vehicles were down the line. But the puzzles are way too frustrating and I’d rather spend my free time enjoying a game.

First off I’m going to start with it is a fun game enjoy the restoration part an everything however. I started playing the game an it was fun no ads or anything just had to actually play. The more I played it the more I started to see the popularity of the game rise. Commercials about it an id see it on TikTok/Facebook well with that said I have gotten farther in the game an now it keeps asking me to purchase this an purchase that to be able to finish the level. I have tried finishing it without purr having it to the point I have used all the speacial moves I have an till do have enough moves to clear the screen. Will give it another shot before deleting but I will not be purchasing in game purchases. It’s a fun game I would recommend to someone how ever I will earn you that there may be times you have to purchase in game things to get threw the level they don’t provide enough mores on some to do it without.

So I’m not really into the candy crush/royal match style games, but I was intrigued by the car customization aspect, and that part I really enjoy. The match 3 puzzles are fine. They are fairly typical and are reasonably fun and a good time passer. But you have to do the puzzles too earn coins to fix/customize the cars, which is the part I want to do, and the puzzles get harder and harder and the cars more and more expensive to fix. This would be fine, even expected, but it ramps up too quickly imho. And there’s no other way to get power ups without beating levels or buying them. I’m only on the 4th car and already the puzzles are impossible to beat without buying some power ups with real money. The fact that there aren’t any ads is great, but honestly, I would rather have the choice to watch an ad or two to get power ups or coins than to just be stuck on an unbeatable level because I don’t want to buy anything.

Do you all even read reviews? I’ve read everyone and they are all telling you the same thing. The puzzle part of the game gets way to hard way to fast. I know you want to make money off the game but the further someone gets is going to make them want to spend to keep going. But that’s not true when you make it so hard so fast. This games gives you nothing for coming back day after day, you never get and extra boost to help along the way. It just seems like a money grab. Really, go read the reviews and you’ll see everyone is saying this. It gets to hard to fast. Think about the people you made the game for and fix the difficulty to make it a much fun we game. 93% of people won’t pay anything just to get past a single level. I hope you think about fixing this because it is a really fun game until you get stuck and have to help. Then it just gets deleted. Please think about it. That is if you read reviews. Like I said I’ve read all the ones on here and they all say the same things and none of them have any comments from the creator or the company. I don’t think you care about reviews.

UPDATE: Although I love the premise, I can’t even give 4 stars now. The AI when firing off any power ups is non-existent. Here’s an example: There is one piston left to release a big explosion. (Sorry for the lack of correct terminology.) I merge two stars figuring one of the three that get released would target the remaining piston. Nope. The AI just sends them around randomly. Poor programming. This is done very well in other games, like Royal Match. It should be an easy fix. Otherwise, this game is just random. It’s very frustrating to repeat levels over and over based on pure luck.

Original review: I love the premise of this game. Fixing up cars and customizing them to your liking is a blast. I have two major complaints, though, that prevent me from giving a higher rating. First, the Chrome Pass is just way too expensive for a mobile game. Cut that price in half, and I would buy it if they fixed the next problem. The game is just too hard at times. They only way to beat certain levels is to get extremely lucky or use many gems to continue and/or many power ups. It gets very frustrating to play the same level over and over and over and just not get the lucky drops you need to beat it. Other games get around this problem by giving you more moves per “continue” if you fail the level more than 10 times. This helps a lot! Please fix these things for 5 stars.

It was alright at first. The building the car was cool and it has the match three puzzles to get coins in order to complete the different tasks to complete the car. There is a story line but you can skip it or click through it fast. By the second car the match three puzzles are more tough to beat and you end up needing a lot of gems to buy more turns in order to complete the puzzle. It’s like 900+ gems for five more tries. If you don’t beat it that amount doubles for five more tries. Thing is you only get maybe 30-40 gems when you do beat a puzzle so if you want to continue the game you either start the puzzle over or break out the real cash for some gems. About half way through the third car the puzzle was pretty tough for me so after several tries and only about 500 gems, well below the 900 or so needed to continue the puzzle, I deleted the game. Had I beat the puzzle it would have only given me about 35 gems so…yeah. It’s a money getter for sure.

It really has the opportunity to be such a great game, hopefully the devs can really make it perfect.

Pros - great concept, I’ve never seen a good mobile game based on car building before this one. The art style is great, the customizations are great, and I appreciate that there is a story and it’s not just devoid of dialogue after the first intro lot a lot of other games. I don’t even mind the matching mini game.

Cons - the mini game is incredibly difficult, seemingly on purpose. You have to have boosts to win after a certain level. You also need a lot of money for the cars which is fine, but they need different mini games to switch it up so you’re not doing the same thing 35 times in a row. There should be an option to “give up” a level after a certain amount of tries. It’s become an impossible game after a certain level.

They’ve put real effort into a lot of parts of the game, but the puzzles are just not there. Please make changes to make the game more fun for long term players!

You’ll have a ton of fun playing this game until about level 100 when you start having to use all those gems you’ve saved and all the power ups you can just to pass levels. Certainly looks like my free experience runs out at level 131. I am convinced that level 131 is impossible without having to use several power ups or extra moves. Would love for the developers to prove me wrong by hosting a live stream doing levels 100+ with no power ups other than the ones you keep from finishing streaks. Will probably wait for an update to these levels before playing again.

There are levels listed as “easy” that have so little moves available but many tasks to do like clean oil spill, break tool cabinets, drop tires, and destroy laser things with like 17 moves. That requires two times those moves, but they you to spend money to get more tries. One of these are level 145 that should be a Super Hard level. I tried over 30 times and can’t get within 15 moves of winning this “easy” level. I think it’s crappy that such a good game is tarnished with this cheap trick for purchases.

The game starts off great, cheesy but cool story line, decently accurate with restoration of cars, however like a lot of the games, once you get to a certain level it’s pretty much forcing you to have to pay for power ups etc to keep playing, otherwise you’ll get through 2-3 levels a day before you’re stuck. Kind of annoying considering I’d like to play the game, not just keep trying the same level over and over and needing to pay for power ups to get past them.

I love the options for customizing your car, and when the matching game to get money was somewhat reasonable I really enjoyed the game. But then I came to my first “hard level.” These levels are nearly impossible to win. You have to play them many many times and hope to get lucky and pull off a victory. Only then can you continue customizing your car that you’re working on. I have worked my way through three or four of these levels, though the amount of time I play the game has gone way down, but I’m ready to call it quits and delete the game. As you go further on those hard levels come up more frequently thus stalling your progress. You either need to make these levels easier, charge less than 900 gems to get five more tries, or give out more money for the easier levels. Until this is done, you’ve lost a customer. I download the game to customize cars, Not play a 3 match game.

This game is fabulous in so many ways that enthusiasts can appreciate about the car builds and gameplay. I’m happy to play the puzzles as many times as I need to, but without spending actual money I wish the levels were easier throughout. Once you get to level 125 and higher they are so hard to complete and with very little booster help, that I just want to quit and go play Alchemy 2 or Baseball9. And the simple levels reward as many coins as the super hard levels. If it were easier to pass levels I’d play this game nonstop. Either make all levels easily passable or at least make the harder levels worth more coins. The Telesto, for example, has so many parts and they are way more expensive than the Colt. So I only try to pass the Telesto level once per day and use up my lives. Discouraging.

Also, I’d like to echo what user JusDaShiznit said. Those are great ideas for the garage

I love the effort put into mimicking the OEM vehicles without using their actual names so the game can stay free of ads and licensing. PLEASE make the levels easier to complete for those of not spending actual $$ and we will refer everyone to this game. We are involved heavily in the custom car community here on the MS Gulf Coast

I like this game, it’s fun, I love the stories and the car stuff. The cars are awesome and you get good options. The matching game is how you earn coins to restore the car and you’ll spend a good 70% of your time doing this. Once you’ve played for a bit, the matching games become nearly impossible to complete without luck and a lot of the “special” blocks available through either matching in specific patterns or keeping up a win streak. Once you lose a game you can use their paid currency (gems) to keep going but it costs a lot more than you make. At that point you will need sheer luck to complete a level without paying for more special blocks or powerups and it’s an endless cycle of getting bad luck in a game and the next one taking much longer to complete. It’s clear while playing that they want to make it difficult to move on without paying for more powerups so I eventually just got tired of it and deleted the game but I wish it wasn’t like this because I really liked the rest of it. Just make it paid at this point and let us customize cars, man.

The gameplay is fun, and the dialogue is good, and the cars are really fun to build. But it after your 3rd car, it takes 2+ levels to complete a task, and each car is about 50~ tasks. It feels like progress just drops off a cliff. Either make the tasks cost less coins or give us more coins as the levels go on. Also some levels are ridiculously hard and clearly weren’t tested enough. Lots of potential, just needs some tweaks.

I never thought I’d say this but I wish this game had ads. It gets so incredibly difficult around level 120 which isn’t that far into the game that it’s almost impossible to play without spending money. Of course, this game has lives so every time you fail a level, you lose a life. It can take 30 minutes just to get one life back and if you fail the same level again (which is almost completely based on luck) then you gotta wait another 30 minutes for another life. That or spend your money to get more lives which is ridiculous. This game has a LOT of potential, but waiting 30 minutes every time you fail (or spending around $5-$10 every time you fail) is just ridiculous. I’d watch ads just to get lives back or gems back (you retry levels with gems, but gems cost $$$). I hope they make it so either you can spend money and you get unlimited lives or they implement the chance to watch an ad for a retry or lives or something because this game is genuinely really fun when you can actually play the game.

Now I may be just a kid but I’m not dumb. I feel like this game should be more about cars than just some boring matching game. Now don’t get me wrong the car part of the game is really fun the way you get to customize and refurbish old cars, and I really like how it tells you info about each part I don’t know why but it’s pretty cool. But the matching part of the game really gets kind of annoying and/or boring and that is why I stopped playing royal match. I am a car lover and I’m pretty sure anyone else playing this game would love cars too, but I do understand why you put in the matching thing. I think there are other ways to get players money for example in the real world people would pay a ton of money to get that done to their cars and then you could find other smaller ways for players to get coins. Now another recommendation is you could pay less money to buy less valuable parts but the more valuable the parts the more the customer has to pay to give it more of a car jobs feel. When I grow up I think one of those jobs would be really fun. Now I know your probably gonna read this then move on and think nothing of it so I just ask you to consider, consider making your game fun for car lovers or people new to them or I guess you can just go back to the same old game just like any other matching game.

I really enjoy the game. It’s super fun but there’s a massive difficulty curve. Some level just seems so much more difficult than other levels. and it feels like the further you get the harder it gets to get enough money to do even one part. I find myself having to take long breaks in between not because I have to, but because I simply run out of lives and get hung on a level for ever it’s very frustrating. I finish the first car with no stress whatsoever. Even the super hard levels weren’t bad. it seems like ever since I passed level 100 every level seems impossible on a first life try. I really do like the game and think it could be perfect. If maybe you were given more lives or scale the difficulty a little better. It seems weird to me that you would use the same lives for super hard levels as you would a regular level So maybe that’s how to improve it?

I really enjoyed playing this game! It’s a fun twist on similar casual free-to-play puzzle games with upgrading cars versus, say homes or gardens. It’s reminiscent of the great docuseries streaming shows about car restorations and customizations we all binge watch! The game play is easy and enjoyable! Highly addicting! However I'm on level 216 and it's darn near impossible to pass without power-ups. There's no daily rewards to help get past a hard level, no weekly special events that provide power-ups or free play time, so it makes it difficult to continue to play on. I play similar games like this and have made it to much higher levels before it becomes this hard! It's pretty frustrating and makes me want to play other games versus coming back to this one if it stays as is. Please tone down the difficulty please or at least give loyal daily log in players some rewards for sticking with it. If you can change this, it would be a near perfect game!

So this game was really fun at first but then (I don’t know if I’m just not smart or it’s just really hard) I’m on the second car and I can’t even beat level 22 I used all of my hearts and then have to wait 22 min just to regenerate one single heart. And the game doesn’t have any daily login rewards so it’s nearly impossible to get power-ups without spending real money. And the amount of gems you need to get 5 more moves after losing is insane because you only get around 40-50 gems when you beat a level. And I get that the heart regeneration is so you don’t get addicted to the game and all that but I think you should keep it but just lower the time it takes to regenerate. I hope you listen to me and many other people who said the same things, THANK YOU.

i NEVER leave reviews but this is just such a great game i have to put my 2 cents in. this is by far one of the best ( if not the best ) matching games i have ever played. fantastic premise, i love the customization ( it could use some more colors but that’s just my opinion ) i adore the characters and the story, and it’s honestly such a well rounded game …

HOWEVER, the programming/AI for the powerups is terrible. for example, when you get into the thousands on levels, you unlock the blueprint buckets as another challenge ( i’m not sure the actual terminology sorry in advance ). for example, if you combine the fan with the rocket it will go for the not yet revealed bulletin board instead of something more crucial like the actual buckets themselves or other obstacles you may face on certain levels. its a total waste of a move that could be game winning.

other than the AI/programming being off for the automatic powerups, this game is fantastic like i mentioned previously. i hope the developers continue to put out updates and take care of this game, the new lives inbox was a great addition! keep good stuff like that coming!

It’s a great little game to pass the time. The puzzles are easy enough to get the loot needed to customize those gorgeous cars. There are just enough choices to make the customization a personal and satisfying experience. There’s even a cool little story built right in that makes it feel like your part of the crew and are helping everyone to achieve what they need to and get this….there are NO ADS!!! Seriously, no ads at all so nothing in the game is annoying at all. It’s all a very pleasant experience. I wasn’t sure I’d even like the game because it’s not a race game and you don’t get to drive the cars. But I’m glad I decided to try it out. If you like cars give it a shot. The developers did a great job here and made something I’d have never guessed would have been so fun. Hopefully the game gets an update soon and new cars added because I know I’ll be playing this daily and will finish all the cars pretty quick.

Great job guys. Keep up the good work.

The concept of this game is wonderful. It’s a refreshing match-three with an automotive repair twist. The abilities are solid and the gameplay keeps me coming back. However, the pacing becomes strained toward latter levels as it becomes ridiculously difficult to pass just one level at a time. don’t get me wrong, a skill gap is required in a match-three to provide a stronger challenge, however the skill gap in this game is absolutely ruthless. it will have you begging for your soul at the fiery gates of chrome valley screaming “help me” while it watches you crumble under its heel. the difficulty in this game will tear the flesh from your bones and cause you to lose everything you love just to pass level 97. why john. why did you have to sell your soul. i found a way to pass level 98.. .traveler be weary…this game is not for the faint hearted…

They definitely improved the graphics of the matching game. The red, blue, green, etc pieces are more defined. This game shines in the imaginative aspects of each car you have to rebuild, plus the NPC's interactions with each other. Not overly long and actually interesting unlike in Homescapes. The match-3 game could use some improvement, like giving you more bonus gems when you have certain powerups still left, etc

Original Review:
As a car lover, I love the concept of restoring vintage cars. The matching game is where it doesn’t impress. Forget about the scarcity of rewards when winning a level, the overall feel of the gameplay falls flat especially when I’ve been playing Candy Crush and Homescapes for years. The graphics are not that polished - it’s hard to distinguish the red, blue, green, etc pieces from each other because they all are basically the same square shapes. I can’t articulate it, but play other top matching games and you’ll feel it.

This is an excellent game, I won’t deny that. However, it’s just another excellent game that’s been ruined by being a matching game. The levels quickly become nearly impossible to beat, and honestly it just takes all of the fun away. I love matching games, but ones that are actually enjoyable and don’t take 1 week to get past a level. Also, the cost for things get significantly more expensive as the chapters go on. Something that cost 150 in the first chapter now costs 500. This paired with the near impossible matching levels, makes progress slow and just really not fun. This is a really excellent game, with some really unfortunate things holding it back.

Some levels are impossibly hard without powerups, followed by a super easy level, and levels can generally be unbalanced.
The supercharger does nothing but make it worse when you fail on a hard level, and one specific level took me 20 tries to beat.
I’m currently stuck on a level again, asking for level balancing please, as many times it’s not based on skill, just luck

I’m actually so heartbroken over this game. I thought i found my favorite game ever, i rebuilt the first two cars fairly easy. Me and my boyfriend were in love with this game it was fun for me to make a bunch of money doing the puzzles and save it up and then rebuild the car when he got home. But, right around the level 130 mark, the games get ridiculously, stupidly, unfortunately HARD. like absolutely ridiculously hard you have to play them for days to get past them and you only pass them when you get lucky and get all the power up’s to pass the level. i’m on level 152, every single level i make it to i think to myself how the heck am i ever gonna make it pass this one. i think i’m seriously stuck at 152. i’m not gonna buy anything for it because i’m broke, but i have a feeling they make it so hard so you can buy stuff to keep playing. so sad :(

I love games like this but I usually find myself bogged down at some point because the levels end up to complicated. With this I haven’t had to spend money for extra turns or boosts once! The levels are challenging but easy to figure out and the game itself is fun to play. I enjoy getting to design and work on the cars the game has to offer for story base. The graphics are pleasing and even the characters are kind of interesting. I ended up getting this as a random add from another game and I can say this often but I’m genuinely glad I installed it! I highly recommend this to anyone who liked puzzle games like project make-over or Homescapes but wants a game play that is conducive to the player and doesn’t make you feel cheated or up to luck.

I love this game and I want you to add a 1963 ragtop VW beetle for the new cars that are coming soon PLZZ read my comment on this car it would be awesome to make herbie in here and also herbie is a pearl white not yellow developer and welp I wish this was a ragtop to look more like herbie im not saying you did poorly on it it’s just I wish u made a box for the vw bug to have a custom changes on it since there are different looks on the beetles from 1960 but still your game is fun but probably add some updates to it for the future

I don’t write reviews often, buuut for this game I just had to! First, let me say: It’s sooo refreshing playing a (really good) game WITHOUT ANY ADS!! I’mma say it again,..”NO ADS!!!” AWESOMENESS!!😜I also enjoy the storyline and the character interaction with Me. The graphics are great, AND I truly enjoy the matching game part also! Check this out ~ I downloaded this game days ago, but only opened it hours ago…And Have Been Playing it Since I Opened It!! Love it!😍
However, if I’m allowed to throw an idea or two out there🤔then I’d ask •• could there be more colors added to the paints? Would you think of allowing Us to turn the vehicle “during”customizations? Also, allow Us to open the doors (since We go thru the process of customizing the inside) during the review and photo ‘sessions’? And as for the matching game part: Can We have a few more extra emeralds for the leftover boosters accumulated during gameplay, but not used?? And Possibly more mechanic coins on certain levels🥺 {This is the longest review I’ve EVER written!😁} I just have to say: Way To Go Devs!!👏🏼💯 Love the way y’all think!💗😉

I wonder if the Devs would see this but I only wrote reviews for absolutely great things or absolutely horrible things. This is an absolute great thing. No ads, straight forward gameplay, nice story, and sweet cars to make your own. As a car person, this game really does make me feel good and enjoy playing. There is one gripe that I have (does not affect game but I think it should be noted and maybe taken into consideration). While earning 300 coins per puzzle is great, I strongly think that the “Hard” and “Super Hard” levels need to reward more coins. Like there are times I wasted so many power ups on attempts to beat super hard levels, just to only get 300 coins? Why not make it like 900 coins. And maybe the hard levels like 600 coins. I think that would be much more rewarding to players and seem more fair. Other than that though, fantastic game.

This game is one of my favorite games and I’m sad I didn’t download sooner. My friends see me playing to the point where they ask if “ im playing candy crush again.” As aggravating as the puzzles are the feeling of your hard work finally paying off is what keeps me coming back along with the satisfying explosions. I play this puzzles with my girlfriend and not only does she do some of the puzzles with me, always excited when I lose a level so she can try, but she makes the car. The only problem I have with the game is when I swipe one direction but whatever I swiped goes the other direction. I would also volunteer the idea of being able to combine the rainbow power ups with other power ups next to it for more satisfying reactions. Other that that this game is 10/10.

I usually dislike this type of game, they’re fun at first but they lose my interest after a while but that’s different with this game. I like how there’s a story and building the vehicles helps to progress it but also the incorporation of the familiar matching games to build the car is a fantastic idea. Overall I’ve been loving this game and can’t wait to see where else it goes!

I have been playing this game for 2 hours now, and I am already in love. Its simple yet it is very satisfying and you can spend hours playing without getting bored. I love cars in general, so of course I got interested. The thing that is special, is that they managed to put a puzzle game into a car fixing game which I have never seen before. This will definitely get the attention it deserves after some weeks, maybe even days.

This is a good game there is no ads which is very rare for the games that I get I only have two games that don’t have ads including this game the graphics is pretty good and the story is one of my favorites the characters are funny even though it is one of those puzzle games like candy crush and homescapes this is better than both of them I’ve downloaded both of them and they have ads and in the game you get to restore cars the only problem is once you get to the hundreds in levels it starts to get really hard but overall this game is perfect (this my first time writing a review and I hope I did good(:

Not gonna lie, I didn’t even know what that game was. I clicked on it because you got a free song in Beatstar if you did. But then I started seeing the ads on Facebook. It looked interesting and I love me a good match 3 game, so I went ahead and downloaded and I can’t put my stupid phone down now. Space Ape is top tier, as always. Great game, nice graphics, just challenging enough that you have to work for it, but not impossible to play for free.

Love this game so far. Playing through a puzzle game where the progression leads to restoring vintage rides is an excellent concept for a game. I like the mechanic themed power ups and the storytelling, and of course the detail in the cars themselves. I've noticed some spelling errors in the dialogue and the sound effects cut out from time to time but neither of those faults hinder the feel of the game. Can't put this down!

The game is very awesome, it has a lot of cars so far and I really hope it grows bigger, yea some of the levels can be hard yet you get a reason to finish it, it’s a very cool that that I recommend to others since it passes the time, don’t ever give up on a level keep trying until you get it, just knowing you can finish that car once you got the money to.

If I could add any car to this game it would be the 1958 Cadillac Eldorado that’s been found at a dump, the tires are shabby and the wheels are dirty, the car was found by a guy named Jim, the cars original color before in the state was blue, the car is a convertible so the top is a bit rotten and can be replaced back to normal, can have no roof and just have the windshield there, or can be replaced by a custom Normal roof, the car is Also covered in vines and has a few boxes inside the car which are full with some usable parts, and a old poster of the car when it was in mint condition.

Gotta say as a technician myself this game is awesome. Love reviving old cars into show stoppers. On that note, I’m on level 176 and it’s impossible! There’s no daily rewards to help get past a hard level, no power up rewards for winning levels, nothing! I play similar games like this mini game and have made it to level 3000 + before it becomes this hard! It’s so frustrating and it makes me very early on just want to through my hands up at it. Tone down the difficulty please or at least give loyal daily log in players some rewards for sticking with it. Also as a technician some steps to fixing these vehicles is out of place. I don’t know anyone who would want to put all new body parts on them work over those new parts to pull a motor! Makes it more realistic tackling a motor first before all the body is in the way! Please y’all I want to go on with this game but your taking the fun out of it with the difficulty level. Fix that and rewards then you would have an awesome game!

I love how much fun this game is and how difficult it is but it’s not impossible. Takes a few try’s to get past some levels but eventually you’ll get it. I’m currently level 271 and there have been some that I genuinely struggled for a few days on. Only thing I would add/change is add daily login rewards or something and have the cars go through the engine work before the body work. I’m not even a mechanic but it’s just common sense that the details and body work come after the car is good under the hood. Maybe in the future add rat rods or more trucks. Add ghost flames? Or white as a primary body color instead of just the decal color? Just ideas. Overall great game and am having a lot of fun! Haven’t had this much fun on a mobile game sense angry birds first came out. 👍

I like this game so much, great graphics, it doesn’t make me feel bad, and it gives me a challenge with the levels… But I have been stuck on some levels because I feel I don’t get enough moves. I ran out of power up and lost my superchargers… I wish their was some type of daily reward or challenge that you could get some power up for your next levels… I just think they could give you some helpful rewards daily… But overall this is one of the best games I have ever had and I give it 5/5 stars.

It is one addictive puzzle game. Once you start, you can’t stop! (unless you run out of hearts). Super fun, and as a car guy myself, I very much like it. It has very good graphics and detail put into their storyline and cars. And another good part about is that…THERE ARE NO ADS! It’s super fun and enjoyable. I would recommend this to anyone who likes cars or puzzle games!

Game is your typical candy crush style game, but with a much better story line for those car enthusiasts. No name brand vehicles, but you’ll know the cars when you see them. Not a bad setup, and the customizing options are actually pretty fun to tinker with. Overall a great game to pass time by, and you shouldn’t have to spend a dime.

This is one of those games, lthat if you don’t pay attention, you can lose several hours with. LOL Like other similar games, there are in app purchases to increase some of the stuff you will need. However, thus far I have not had to pay for anything, and the game seems to be rather giving with bonuses. I would definitely recommend this game to others and in fact I have.

I’m usually never a big fan of match 3 games, but this one combines my love for remodeling cars and matching tiles. Mostly my attraction to this game is remodeling cars from trash to beautiful works of art and the best part is the player gets to choose how the vehicles turn out. I just started today and can not put it down. I’m already almost finished w/ my second story and both cars looks amazing. I hope the remaining stories are as interesting as the first two stories. Highly recommend if you was a fan of CSR Classics.

This game is super fun to play, and I love all the options when customizing your cars. No ads which is the best part. Decent story.

My only gripe is I wish that you could customize the engine more, like choose engine color, different power upgrades (like superchargers) and maybe being able to tune the engine. Stuff like strut bars, roll cages, steering rack upgrades, and choosing the type of suspension would be neat. (springs, coils, etc). Also, for the turbos on the 1992 lightbeam, they aren’t set up correctly and the induction is put to the wrong pipe. It’s a small visual bug but would be nice if it was fixed.

Game is a piece of crap! Makes no sense how hard it is to beat some levels. Creators are money hungry. That's all they want. And once you beat a level you really get nothing in return. Get 300gems for beating a level and it cost you 900 gems for 5 extra moves. Make it make sense! No daily bonuses, get next to nothing for completing a car. And cost you every thing to build. Will definitely be erasing game after review. Ask yourself who wants to play a game where the odds are against you? I takes the fun out of playing.

Boards get impossible to beat after certain levels! No daily bonuses! Do not earn enough gems when completing levels, may earn 30 to 50 gems for level completion and spend 900 gems for 5 extra moves. Only 300 coins for each level no matter the difficulty you have beating a level. Takes days or weeks to beat a level. And you may just not complete a level, at least not until you spend real money to do so! To sum it all up this game is after money and it doesn't take a genius to figure it out. And to the people that's promoting this scam you should feel ashamed of yourself. And to the creators you know exactly what you are doing and what you are. SCAMERS! And oh yeah I will definitely delete your ridiculously unbeatable crap of a game! You deserve nothing more than a Zero for ratings!
