The videos help a lot, however I do know that this is a game I will eventually abandon. Christmas brought a new ipad and shifting of devices so I am now playing the third game on my old iPod. Initially since I was playing on an iPad 2, I couldn’t watch videos so my progress was very slow. I largely did it because, while answering questions on the forum, I realized that I really didn’t remember how the game worked years ago. This guide started when I started a third game on my old iPad 2. The focus of this guide is tips and tricks to maximize your benefit and minimize your expenditure. There are others that use the game almost as a canvas to create wonderful decorative sculptures. Some work to level up and max out as quickly as they can, others don’t care about leveling up and simply want to create a pretty village. There is no wrong or right way to play the game. Others choose to purchase things they like or that are simply ‘cool’. Huts that give me an advantage in playing the game by unlocking crops or in the case of the exchange hut, the ability to turn unwanted game prizes into coins. So my purchases were the mushroom hut, garden hut, grove flower shop, exchange hut, Miller Smurf, etc.

I have usually based my decision to purchase on ‘what do I get from it’. I have made EO purchases over the years and my two main games do have special huts in them. This guide may focus on non-monetary ways to advance in the game, but if your budget allows, it’s always good to support the developers. Choices they make are not out to ‘get’ players, they have to turn a profit to keep being able to produce the game. Programmers need to be paid, servers cost money, so the developer does need to make money. I also think that players need to remember that the game is a business. You need to make the best decisions for you. So what worked then or works now may not always work.

This game has evolved over the years, not only when Beeline had it, but also after it was acquired by Bongfish and now owned by Popreach. So I’ve played the game, although I have not played it from the beginning. About 4 or 5 now, and I have managed to get my villages up to nearly 140 and may max it out in another year or two. I will start this by saying I’ve been playing the game for years.
