Fun and engaging game
One of the notable features of Homescapes is its ability to
allow you to skip
dialogues, cutscenes, and end-of-game animations. Such a capability enables you to
focus
solely on the puzzles and
enjoy
them more. You can
sign in

send and receive in-game gifts
that can be helpful in solving the puzzles.
As mentioned, the game involves completing match-3 puzzles that each have
different objectives
. For instance, one level will require you to
collect a certain number of objects
while another requires you to
fill the board with grass
. Note that you will
lose a life
if you are unable to finish a puzzle. They become
increasingly difficult
the more you advance, making each puzzle challenging and engaging.
Completing each day
rewards you with more coins and if you want to earn more stars, you can also play other mini-games. Meanwhile, the animation, graphics, and background music in this game is great, adding to the overall immersive experience. However,
one downside
is that the
story flow is a bit slow-paced
, which can be frustrating. Additionally, do not expect the puzzles to be relevant to the storyline.
Beyond the home
In the Tortuga Treasure update, players will embark on a
captivating pirate expedition
and
explore
the enigmatic Tortuga Island to
uncover the secrets
surrounding the missing uncle. You can also obtain a
special expedition outfit
you can use on the island by
winning
in the
Adventure Season
, adding a stylish touch to your appearance during the Tortuga Treasure event.
You can also experience the
thrill of victory
by playing in the Sporting Wins. Engage in a
sports competition
and aim to emerge as the champion. The game also has a
Sports Season
in which you can
win prizes
and
activate the Sports Pass
to gain access to additional
boosters
for the Sporting Wins event, providing an advantage in the gameplay.
Aside from these seasons, there is a new element called
Lanterns
that add an
exciting twist
to the match-making gameplay. Make matches strategically and
detonate power-ups
to remove the Lanterns, creating new possibilities and challenges for players to explore. There is also a
new chapter
that unfolds in the storyline, focusing on
renovating
the Island Hotel's spa and fitness center.
