Gardenscapes 2 (Premium)

Gardenscapes 2 will not get past the Garage Sale game. I have tried 4 & times and shut down my iPad twice. Nothing like GS original. Also, you have to tap multiple times to get objects to move. Don't waste your money until they fix this.

Llego al nivel de el encontrar el álbum y voy al siguiente nivel lo juego luego que termino de jugarlo se va el juego vuelvo y lo abro y tengo que volver empezar ese nivel y vuelve y se va el juego

Addicting, relaxing, fun

I can't get to the next level... After I finish the level, it goes to the desktop. This does not happen w other gardens apes games, on i5, iPad 2, nor the Samsung Galaxy Tablet.

Love it

This sequel fails to live up to the original in every way.<br/><br/>The graphics for the garden are unappealing to the point that I hated adding most new features, because they detracted rather than decorated. The album pictures are so ugly that it's hard to get excited about finding a new one. The dog has been made goofy looking, and Austin's mother is garish beyond belief: bright yellow, bright green, and bright fuchsia all in the same outfit. Only a color-blind man or a child still young enough to like gaudy, mismatched colors would put together that outfit. If those are the kinds of colors Austin's mother likes to wear, I'm not surprised that all the options for her garden are ugly and clash. A huge part of the appeal of the original Gardenscapes was making the run-down garden beautiful, but that sure won't be happening here. If you put in benches, lawns, a flower ring, a kennel, a fence, bushes, and maybe the fountain and lawn furniture, and then you simply stop, it won't look so bad, but not looking too bad is a far cry from making it beautiful, and stopping also means not finishing the game.<br/><br/>Whoever is responsible for graphic design at Playrix needs to learn that more and more elaborate, posh decorations for barns and backyards simply translates to outlandish, not outstanding. Who puts a pool table in his backyard? Why wasn't it a tennis court or something that you would actually have outside? I can't help thinking that Playrix must either have new artists or their old artists used up all their good ideas on the first Gardenscapes game, because this sequel just looks clunky and overblown, and maybe Playrix took the praise for the first Gardenscapes's bright cheerful colors too much to heart, because the palette here could make a player nostalgic for monochrome graphics. In the first game, adding new stone pathways to the garden was the turning point when the garden went from eyesore to pretty; in the sequel, I prefer the worn grey stone of the old pathways to any of the new ones, but I can't keep the old ones and finish the game. If you insist on designing your game to appeal to the aesthetics of four year olds, don't be surprised if no one else wants to play it.<br/><br/>The new hint features - the thermometer and looking glass - are so badly implemented that they shouldn't have been; they are no real help. The program lags so badly that taps often don't register, and this is in timed puzzles. Thanks to the lag, I keep unintentionally triggering hints when I'm zooming or moving the screen, and if it's lagging because my device is inadequate, then there were no adequate devices available when this game was released, so why was it? A game that is this finicky about registering taps has no business penalizing the user for random tapping, especially when those coins often are entirely hidden behind other objects, names are often misleading or ambiguous, and objects sometimes don't look anything like what they're supposed to be. The scene tells me to find a ball, but the tennis ball isn't being picked up. Is that because the game wants a beach ball this time or because it's not registering my taps? Either could be the case. There's nothing more annoying in a hidden object game than to tap repeatedly on an object for ten seconds, get penalized for tapping too much in the wrong place, finally decide it must be the wrong object, use a hint to reveal the correct object, and find that it's the one you were tapping on all along.<br/><br/>The new ability to zoom in hidden object scenes would be a lot more helpful if it could zoom in to a larger magnification and if the zoom hadn't been offset by such dark pictures and ludicrously tiny objects almost entirely hidden behind other objects. Hidden object games rely far too much on making objects hard to see rather than hard to spot, simply because that's easier and cheaper for the game designers, but straining our eyesight is no substitute for quality gameplay. Turn on the blasted lights.<br/><br/>So the hidden object scenes just aren't much fun, and &quot;decorating&quot; the garden isn't much fun, making this game sorely lacking in fun or appeal. Add to that the hanky-panky that Playrix engages in with their pricing structure, and that adds up to a hidden object game that says search elsewhere for something to play.

I Love Gardenscapes 1 Better Than 2, But 2 Is Good!!

Love hidden object games. This has plenty of them. Would recommend to others.
