Lily’s Garden: Design & Relax Wiki

I’m not an avid game player, but I find this one semi addictive yet fun and a relaxing break when I need one. Really has helped during this stay at home year of 2020. Probably one of the positives among all the negatives! I love the combination of the puzzles as well as getting to remodel the property. Love the graphics and storyline. Had to reinstall because of problems. Could be my older iPad mini though. Often it got to where it would crash or in the end just stayed on the middle of one task with the characters moving but in a constant loop. That was one of the levels over 2300, but love it enough to try and start over. — Update— Finally gave up using my iPad mini for this game. Was either going in extreme slo-mo or crashing after every puzzle. Sometimes, crashing during a task(losing stars) or after puzzle completion but before awarding star.(also losing star). Was really getting frustrating. One thing I hate is that with all the problems, the timer continues to tick off your time even when you are having to wait for it to reload after crashing, which in many cases was taking as much as a half minute before everything was back to where you could start again. Got a new iPhone for the early Christmas and downloaded it on there. Seems to work ok so far. Time will tell.

I absolutely love this game. The graphics, the color, the story line are all great! The game gets harder as you progress which is good. Having said that, I do have a few suggestions which would solve the issues that cause me to give it 4 stars instead of 5. 1. I wish we had access to all 5 tools during the game instead of 2 - the others are only available before you start playing the levels. 2. I wish we could chose the direction of the rockets. So many rockets get wasted because of this issue. 3. I don’t mind you trying to sell in game purchases- I personally don’t buy them because their usage still has the above mentioned issues. However, as surprising as what I’m about to say is, I would much rather watch adds to have access to more tools, moves or lives! Currently I have been stuck on level 456. I have been here for at least 2-3 weeks! I find myself going for playing other games and not wanting to play this one which is sad because as I have mentioned earlier, I love the story! But what’s the point of playing it if I don’t have enough tools or moves to pass the level? I would love to go back to playing the game again if these issues were fixed! Until they are, Lily will have to wait for me to come back 😥.

I really enjoy playing Lily’s Garden. The game is almost perfect. The graphics, sound effects, gameplay, and story are all beautifully executed. If you enjoy gardening, plants, nature, or well done visuals in general, you will appreciate all the details in the graphics and look forward to solving the puzzles to unlock more architecture and landscape scenery. I would love to have the beautiful renderings of flowers and trees as my wall paper. The little critters that appear as you play are very cute. Unlike some other games where there are moments of frustration because special explosives you strategized to create during game play all explode at once reducing the amount of points/ damage you can do, the bombs and rockets explode individually in this game for maximum benefit. There is really not much to complain. If I were nit pick, I wish the points gathered right after you finish a level were more visible and stayed on the screen a second or two later instead of only appearing for a split second. I have to go to the player list for whatever bonus league competition is going on to figure how many points I added, and that’s only possible if I remembered how many points I had at the completion of the previous level and I do the math.

I’ve never enjoyed a phone game as much as this one. With every update it gets better and better and it’s always taking in constructive criticism. There are a few things I would like to change though. A: there should be some sort of button with the shovel and rake to shuffle the tiles, because I hate having to waste my moves clicking pairs of two when I know that it’s not going to be helpful, it drives me 🥜🥜 B: I think it’s annoying to need to win three levels to do an activity like building the vegetable garden beds when there are three beds which means you have to play through nine levels just to get the vegetable gardens built, but I totally recognize that I’m also very impatient so maybe I’m over reacting, but I just read some other reviews that said they’re on levels in the 1,000s and I’m only on level 275... But I like that it’s getting progressively difficult like a game should, and I love that there are three different styles to choose from for everything! I can keep changing my mind whenever I want, and mix it up however I want. It’s SO satisfying! I’ve been playing every night for two weeks now and it’s hard to make myself stop and go to bed. Overall I’m very pleased with it. Highly recommend! ✨

This is a very addictive game, frustrating at times as they all are but this game differs from others I have started and stopped playing, it doesn’t get you to a point where you need to pay to move forward, it gives you hours of extra lives, boosters and rewards etc, other games will let you get to a certain point and you will get stuck. This game has helped greatly through the last year, I am up to board 2890 now, does it get easier? No, but it allows you to look at the board and strategize play. I have never paid for anything and have moved forward well. Yes the Arrows /Rockets will always go vertical when you need it to go Horizontal with 1 move left. The story lines are fine too, not too sappy not too annoying . I was ready to give this game a 3 rating but the other day I was playing on a board around 2730 and the story was to remove some trees, the Regina character says its “Chainsaw Time” and takes down several trees, afterwards she says “If I have anymore fun today I don't think I can take it!” Which is a line Franklin says in the original 1973 Texas Chainsaw Massacre, someone is smart enough to drop that line into a video game gets all the stars in my book!!! Bravo!!!

I absolutely loved this game. For the past month every time I go to play I get the screen up, then it cancels out and goes blank and back to my home screen. First the game would start to freeze and unfreeze. Then if I lost a game, I would get another chance to replay it. If I won a game then I would get my coins and then poof back to the home screen I had to keep opening it back up again to play. I went into the settings on the game and left a message on the support. The next day I got an answer that they would fix the issue, but I would have to go to Facebook for them to do so. I don’t use my Facebook anymore because I am not technically savvy. I responded back to them that and now I cannot keep the game to stay,,,, it starts and then it’s gone back to home screen. I’m so heartbroken because I enjoyed the game and decorating the garden and the story so much. I finally got to the celebration of the trial and now I cannot play it anymore. It was so comforting during this COVID time. I finally deleted the game hoping that if I redownloded it that I wouldn’t loose my spot. I was wrong and now I don’t have the energy to start all over again. I’m so disappointed. I truly loved this game over any other games

A fun twist on the typical match three game. Levels are challenging but not so difficult that progression is stagnant. Different variables added to “collect” during game play keep the game from becoming boring. Storyline keeps developing and characters come and go to add depth to the storyline. Seasonal chapters offer considerable rewards as levels are completed and the levels are less challenging. Because of the seasonal chapters’ rewards of bonus pieces and currency, purchasing additional moves and helpful “tools” can be added to the inventory without needing to spend actual money on in-app purchases. The currency reward for completing levels is very low (typically 20 to 50 coins) and purchasing additional moves costs 900 coins and purchasing “tools” costs more than 1000 coins. The rounds allow for quick game play (a few minutes per round) so a large time commitment isn’t necessary. Would give 5 stars but the coin return on level completion is so very little compared to the cost of bonus items and extra moves. However, the developers will occasionally throw in time periods of unlimited turns and extra bonus items that allow players to progress through particularly challenging levels, which has kept me playing. Without the seasonal chapters and unexpected release of unlimited turns/extra “tools”, I would have stopped playing long ago.

After you complete every level. No matter the difficulty you get 50 coins, then you get 1 coin for each move you have left. Typically the pay out per level is between 50 and 75 coins... just to continue playing a difficult level which just give you 5 more moves is 900. Coins are hard to earn and too easy to spend. I also don’t understand why after you finish the level it throws all your extra moves onto the game board as power ups and they activate sometimes clearing game pieces... what is the point of playing that out when it doesn’t actually do anything for you. Either way you only get 1 coin per move left, the extra moves playing out in the board does nothing. 15,000 coins just to change Lily’s outfit to a Halloween one for a few days 😱(you only earn 50 to 75 per game...) Anyways I still gave this 4 stars because I enjoy the story line and the game play is fun. I only recommend from a player POV that if you are going to have different levels of difficulty, increase the reward and if you are going to bother throwing the remaining moves onto the board and it plays out well, then award it as such. Right now it’s a pure waste of time when I know I beat the level and have 5 moves left and that will give me 55, why make it seem like I just got a bonus lol

This game is very much like Matchington (which used to be my favorite) and can be pretty addictive. I really like the story line so far (I’m a little over level 2000) because it seems geared more toward adults and unlike other games, I actually read what’s going on and I look forward to what’s coming up next. They give you a lot of free lives, sometimes up to 3-hours at a time. What I don’t like is that you have to use the time when you get it. Granted there are times when I do play for hours at a time, but I do like that to be my choice and not feel like I’m forced to use it or lose it, especially if I purchase & pay for the extra time. There are times when I have completely cleared the board, only to look over & see I need to clear more, but there’s absolutely nothing left for me to clear & nothing more comes up - not sure what that’s about. I also find myself getting frustrated with games that make it so difficult to get through a level that it can take days. I usually end up getting bored & frustrated & end up quitting. I’ve gotten close on this game with that as well, but I keep going. It’s for this reason and the use it or lose it time that I can’t give it 5-stars. Other than that - I highly recommend.

There is a lot to admire about the work that went into this game. The story is engaging, the visuals are well done, the game system has a lot of potential. I’d like to see an option to change design choices after they are made, in case you want a changed look for the gardens... that’d be nice. Cons for me though, are significant and definitely hurt the enjoyment and desire to stay playing. The heart system seems largely counterproductive to encouraging people to play and work at the puzzles until they succeed. The difficulty of the games ramps up far too quickly, leaving people in the position of being forced to buy packages of boosts too often to be viable, or quit in frustration. And to tell the truth, the single star reward is not much of an impetus as you level and doubly so with “hard” puzzles. The rewards should go -up- as the levels climb. Additionally, getting only one star for something that is intended to be extra challenging in the case of Hard puzzles feels pointless and a little extra annoying. On the whole, the game has a ton of fun aspects and potential, and is extremely well made. I just feel it gets in its own way too much and becomes a chore more quickly than I like. Your mileage may vary, as always.. this is just my experience.

Continued to receive ads for this game while playing Words With Friends. After weeks of having said ads shoved in my face, I decided to download it. I love decorating and figured this would be a cool way to keep with that hobby without the extra time, money and headache that can sometimes come with actually decorating. The game is fun and admittedly, very addicting. I love the challenge it creates and has been a great way to relieve stress while in quarantine. However, as the levels progress they get more challenging while the amount of coins and stars you earn remain the same. There’s no reason why I should be on level 200+ and only earning 50 coins per level; even on the levels that are intentionally more challenging. It also makes no sense that you only earn ONE star per level despite its difficulty level and despite the fact that you need to accumulate stars in order to be able to decorate/renovate the property. Often times, the decorating tasks require 2-3 stars per task; which means you have to beat at least 3 levels just to complete ONE task. Not to mention the fact that while you can pay more money to purchase add’l lives and boosters to beat levels, the option to purchase add’l stars is nonexistent. Reading through all of the reviews and this seems to a common gripe amongst players. I really hope the developers actually take this feedback seriously and implement these changes to make the game more enjoyable.

As most others have said, this game has been fun and it is somewhat addicting. There’s enough of an interesting story line to keep me coming back and wanting to see what happens and get to the end. But I have some issues with it that prevents it from being a 5-star game. 1. You will lose a life if you open a scene to play but before any moves are made, you get out of it for any reason (customer service did give me a life back but this shouldn’t happen); 2. I appreciate a game getting more challenging but I am on 1560 level and winning is almost impossible without paying for extra lives consistently so I use my 4 lives and wait until they regenerate and go at it again - over and over; 3. There are only 4 lives instead of 5 or more like other Match 3 games; 4. The only way to get extra lives (and it’s not lives but time you are winning) is by winning a Rocket Ruckus or Flower Match (probably not what they are really called but y’all know what they are) and that’s not happening any more - see #2.; 5. The cost of purchasing some of the flowers or building/remodeling things is ridiculous- you only get the score of 1 when you win a challenge and then have to use 3 to put flowers around half of an area? Or 2 to talk to someone that doesn’t help in the game goals? Frustrating. Because of above reasons, this is no longer my go-to favorite game. I’ll continue playing but refuse to pay out money to win.

I started playing this game and needed an extra life. I logged into Facebook and in a little bit got an email from Facebook that someone tried to log into my account. I didn’t equate it to the game. I changed my Facebook password and the next day logged into Lily’s Garden with Facebook. I then got an email saying that someone had hacked my Facebook account. They deleted my phone number and email on my account. It took four months of contacting Facebook almost every day to get my account back. I enjoy the game but will never use my Facebook account for a game again. The game is fun but there are too few lives considering the level of difficulty of some of the puzzles. The whole point of the puzzles seem to be to transform into rockets and swirling jars in order to win. I would prefer it better if they put it on a point system and let you continue playing until all matches are done. You get more points if you use less moves. Or, give you an option of what type of play level you prefer. Sometimes I just want to mindlessly make matches, not to form boosters. Another issue I have is that the game is very glitchy. I play on my iPad Air. The game will freeze and then log out every few minutes. One of the updates was supposed to correct this issue but it didn’t seem to. Overall though I have enjoyed the game!

Edit: I have received nothing from support and nothing from Apple so I must caution everyone to not spend money on this game unless you use a gift card! Original: I have loved this game from the beginning and I have searched for another game that is as much fun for months and I haven’t found anything as much fun and as challenging. But, and this is a huge but, I have spent money on it from the beginning and I was consistently double charged on the $4.99 packages. I thought it was a fluke and I was able to get a nice customer service lady at Apple on the phone to reverse the charges. Then it happened a few more times and I was able to get the charges dropped through the regular Apple route on my device. I receive a text from my bank every time I get a charge on my credit card. A couple of days ago Lily’s Garden charged me for a package I didn’t order and I received nothing. Apple refused to credit me back for it. I talked to the 30 people on my team, most of whom never spend money on the game and it had happened to 2 others. That’s 10% of us on the team, more if you consider that most of them don’t spend money. One of them said she now only uses Apple gift cards to buy packages in the game. Honestly I will continue playing this wildly fun game but I hate being stolen from. I took my credit card off of Apple and on the rare occasion when I want to spend money on Apple I will use a gift card. Buyer beware!!!
