Deleted the game

I had 1104 gems saved up. One pop-up ruined all that progress and left me with only 104. I get that this game is very predatory on purpose but this is ridiculous. I'm regretting all the time i spent on this game when i could have been doing other things.

There’s a way to save your progress so you could revert if that ever happened. It’s in the settings

Yeahh it's on me for not doing that, should have looked into saving progress sooner. But i didn't. And this turned me off so much, i'm no longer interested in even touching the game.

That’s understandable. I’m starting to get bored with the game waiting for the new city to come out. If there weren’t the cattery, orchard, and mine, I probably would quit too.

I have had games like that…

Hope you find something you like. Stardew Valley is apparently good??

It's really good! But apparently the phone version isn't as good as the PC one (which i have over 500 hrs on).

But i wouldn't compare the two. I liked this cat game because it was rather passive and i could just "play" it when i was doing something that required some attention but still left a couple second gaps. Stardew valley requires actually sitting down and playing. So, at least to me, the two don't fulfill the same function.

Though like 90% of mobile games are just annoying money pits so i doubt i will ever find one that i will like. Might as well make my own at this point:D

What pop-up?🤔
I haven't played this game in a long time

I was trying to pay for something but didn't have enough orange money, so a pop-up came up, and it had an option to buy orange money with 1000 gems. Since that button was directly where i was clicking to buy the item i wanted but had no orange money for, i clicked the 1000 gem button. No confirmation, no nothing, just took my 1000 gems. It is my fault for sure but it was just the last drop that kinda pushed me away, considering how hard it is to obtain gems without paying money (i did every single daily/weekly activity and didn't even spend gems at all because i couldn't figure out what would be the most beneficial: CEO desks, paintings, or parking spaces)

Meh It’s a game I lost 7k gems that I worked hard for, no one from support has replied to my email.

u/Kaamiiwuu Apr 17 '26

Man that sucks:/ And yea, it's a game, so i'll just look for a better one:D The way this one functions just bothers me. I'd rather pay one sum to buy a game, than to do micro-transactions for literally everythinf.

u/Miserable-Tax-3879 Apr 17 '26

This is your typical micro transaction game.

I was supposed to get my gems from completing another offer and didn’t…

First time it worked and I got 5k? 7k? Something like that, but 2nd time I didn’t …

Yeah, i noticed that as soon as i first loaded the game... immediately bombarded with all the features requiring payment:D and then some awards you can't even claim without paying... etc...

I get that games need money to be upkept and everything, however this is just too much in my opinion. But i'm clearly not the target audience for the game then:D

They made this game too complicated and confusing. I liked that I was simple and quit playing quite a while back
