4.5
The reason is lifestyle and luck. When the game was released, I was too busy and did not see the ads. So missed out on it.
And so, I will give a comparison after a basic review.
The game is a social game. Not sure if is called cozy.
The game is filled with stuff to do. Including
- furnishing your house
- having pets
- crafting
- farming
- delivery
- fishing
There are also multiplayer stuff like
- zombie house (my fav)
- racing
- climbing a tower (or was it more like obstacles), hate this one
And more, since I barely tried it out
There are also stuff like
- ferris wheel
- boat rides
- cinema
You can also customize your char with faces and costumes. (no gender lock)
And well, I saw someone starting fires so... might have more mini activities.
Is basically a whirlpool of activities that I will need to slowly discover
Now, some comparison with heartopia
- graphics : heartopia is definitely nicer. The faces are also dynamic compare to this game where the face is fixed, like applying a mask.
- heartopia can build houses but this game you only get to furnish it.
- social wise, heartopia is kinda solo. You do interact with others but the town is limited to a fixed number of plots. (Was it 12 ?) So that is the limits on the number of players you can see on your map at each point of time. (and not all are active or interactive)
Compared to this game, the number of players running around is far larger. Feels more like a real community.
- performance, heartopia's beautiful graphics and house customization comes at the cost of performance lag. Your system slows down, the game goes buggy and stuff sometimes disappear. They even had to reduce the range furnitures are rendered. Meaning, stand too far and the furniture goes poof.
Where as for this game, the game runs smoothly even with so many players running around.
- gameplay wise, the approach of both is different.
Heartopia is goal driven. You rush to complete quest to get limited currency. Then when quests are done, farm for resources to sell to earn gold to buy the expensive plots of land. Usually it involves gathering mushrooms and cooking.
For this game though, the number of things you can do is truely overwhelming. To the point where you don't really finish up a set of goals and move to farming. Instead is more of spontaneity. One moment your char wants to go to school. The next moment your pet needs a bath. You click on an npc you passed by and take on a quick quest. Then fish for abit before the next yearning of your char kicks in guiding you to yet another location you did not know. The hotel, the sewers, the cinema and more. For me at least, there really isn't something to focus on and leaves me rushing around in a daze
To summarize the gameplay:
- heartopia has a fixed number of things to do daily and leaves you alone to do stuff. Most of which involves either farming for gold or building your house.
After which, one is usually left empty wondering what else to do and what for.
- in this game however, it is more of an experience. There is no lack of things to do, so there isn't a need to try completing everything as it is impossible. Instead of a planned progress, it is more of an exploration and experience with both the world and the people in there. Npc or players.
If we were to compare, though both games are similar.
Heartopia will cater to those who love beautiful graphics and designing of art.
While this game will instead cater for those who crave social interaction. A world where you are never really alone yet are allowed to do what you wish. Without the need to be bound to goals planned by the system and developer.
Or so I feel anyways

3.8Simulation your real life in this game. it is really good for you who loves to interact and communicate with friends or even find a new fellas. No have story, just play as you want. The game have an education in it (School system), it's so good that your brain won't stop working. [厲害] (I hope adults player will stop to hoping a couple/wedding feature, because this game audiences is for kid to adult 😒 you guys can see it by this School feature). Also easy to earn money-in-game, as long as you can watch ads everytime you claim the rewards. Ya, the ads only function if you want to claim 3x rewards. What you can do : Decorating your own house, customize your character, collecting a cute pet, host a party, cooking, fishing, working for earn money, parkour, etc. But the bad thing imo is, this game is supposed to be light, but it turns out to be very heavy for Android 6.0. It doesn't have a separate chat log, so whatever you talk, everyone can read it. so, here there is no privacy (except in a house that is set private).
Syouuuuu
4.6很可愛的社群遊戲,有很多派對遊戲可以跟朋友一起同樂,可以透過看廣告的方式獲得遊戲中的點數,所以基本上不太需要課金也能玩得很開心 不過缺點是自己一個人玩應該就比較沒有樂趣,很多遊戲都是跟人互動的,如果不喜歡社交類的遊戲可能比較不適合玩,遊戲的控制可以優化得更好,有時候明明有操作好,但人物沒有像那樣移動,所以遊玩體驗就沒有那麼好,希望可以改善
