Stars are awarded for every level you clear – 1 level, one star. We got a lot of coin out of that.Ĭoins are the in-game currency you can buy extra lives and power-ups (called boosters in-game). Occasionally, we’re pretty successful as a a team in the weekly competitions. But you can ask for and give turns to teammates, and Facebook friends who connect to you in-game.
Homescapes has a “limited lives” system – you get 5 turns and then have to wait for your lives to refill… unless you pay extra for more lives. The team leader is pretty engaged and expects team members to be minimally engaged, which is better than my last team. When I joined, it was new and I was the second or third person. I thought the name was funny when I joined but I hope it doesn’t put off prospective new members who might suspect that it’s for pale people only. I’m on a pretty good “team,” Freckle Juice.
There’s a whole storyline with characters, separate from the simple match-3 mechanics where you gather tokens and stars to advance the “plot.” Team Freckle Juice Along the way you help “Austin,” the main character, make his parents’ lives better and fix their mysteriously neglected mansion. There’s a fair amount of exploration as you progress through the levels you first renovate and redecorate the main character’s family home, then a lake cabin that he buys, then an estate belonging to an estranged family member. There are also “seasons” lasting about 4 weeks where you are supposed to gather tokens to trade in to redesign areas of the game, or to change the appearance of an in-game character. There are periodic events where you compete head to head, within your team, or against other teams. It has levels to pass, and to break up the repetitiveness, it’s also an exploration, makeover, redesign game. It’s a match-3 type of game, very similar to Bejeweled (which I used to like a lot) or Candy Crush. Match 3 – what to do? Hyper bombs, jets, or rockets?
Homescapes is a video game for smartphones and tablets that’s designed to remove money from your wallet, time from your day, and you from engagement with everything else that’s going on in your life. Homescapes Level 7602, “The Wood Estate Mystery” – is it time to move on?
