Hence I rated this game “3 Stars” - the average of “1 Star” for being forced into constant tournament play, and “5 Stars” for everything else. However, even as competitive as I am, I don’t want to be forced into having my score go toward either Fireworks or Rainbow Blast/Electric Show tournaments. Seeing as how I’m a bot of competitive person by nature, I even like the tournaments. I think the storyline(s) are quite creative as new garden areas are unlocked. I like the challenge, and even the near impossibility of getting past certain levels. I like a little competition, but seriously. Also, it won’t let me sync my game on my laptop (MacBook) and my iPhone even though I connected both to Facebook. I’ll keep playing for now, but I imagine in the not too distant future, the game progression will become so slow, I’ll get bored and move on to something new. Seems to me if some levels are going to be intentionally hard, or very hard, beating them should earn more stars. By the third section of the garden - having the mason come fix the fountain - every task requires multiple stars, but there is no way to earn multiple stars in one go. Also, fairly quickly, the game progression really slows. You have no control over the drop, and if anyone walks into the room or there is any distraction in real life, poof, one life wasted, because I’m not going to ignore a human or my dog or whatever to try to beat a game level. Like others have stated, the timed levels are annoying. I also like the novelty of the “newsfeed”/Austin’s social media and especially the little bios for all of the other characters on Austin’s friend list. The graphics are quite good and the character banter is fun. I enjoy playing this game when I just want to veg out, but it could be improved.

Different areas in the garden with unique structures: broken fountains, mysterious mazes, and many more.An in-game social network you can use to keep up on all the latest.A lovely pet that is always there to cheer you up.
