What real reviews say
★ This is a fake. Download this game because I saw an ad about it on my phone. I played the ad, and I was like “omg this is so much fun” so I downloaded it, only to realize that the actual game was COMPLETELY different from the ad. I immediately deleted it. I do not appreciate fake advertisement.
★★★ No mini games Hardly any mini games like advertised. Mostly all really difficult puzzles. And you do not get to customize and work on the house as much, it is a lot more task and things for the story line.
★ Battery issues I really enjoy this game, it’s fun but my issue is that it absolutely cooks my phone whenever I try to play. I have an iPhone 16 pro, 91% battery health, 480 something cycles so not new but still not a completely worn out battery. When I play this game my phone gets ridiculously hot, I’ve tried play
