The game is certainly interesting and addictive, it also teaches patience to achieve results, but I substract a star due to the fact that during events the energy purchased for money is lost (often in large amounts), and could be transferred to the standard game or the next event instead. People put their money in this and ot would be fair if the product they bought would not just diasappear.. Because of this for sure I won't strive to finalize these events so fiercely because the prizes are not spectacular - they are definitely disproportionate to the effort put in to get to the end.

The artwork is incredible (save for those nasty fountain fish) and the game is really fun to play on earlier levels. Past 40 it becomes tiresome and you wait too long for everything, wish the energy storage would increase at some point to 200. The occasional bonuses do a good job at giving you energy and keeping you playing, but the higher the level the less there is to do with how long the orders take to complete and the less bonuses you can get. I understand that it’s a money grab strategy, but it makes the game boring. Completing daily challenges or events is also difficult (unless you maybe join Facebook for card events, but I don’t want to connect my account. I’d much prefer to connect with other players through the app).I really dislike the pop ups upon launch, especially whenever there’s an event. By the end of the Halloween event you had to exit like five or more pop ups advertising the events or the real money purchase products. The “offers” seem to be inconsistent in the amount of money spent on a varying quantity of items, discourages me from any potential purchase.As to the increasingly buggy, last weeks I’ve noticed the game glitching out. I’d watch an ad for a bubble item and not receive the item anyway. Just plain blue screen upon launch. Infinity scroll on orders, never exceeding the number available but just disappearing from view. The game freezing without any ability to interact so that you have to restart it. Usually you can’t rotate the game when you rotate the device, but today it started to happen and it looks pretty bad when in horizontal.

I’ve been playing Travel Town for almost 2 years, logging in several times a day—even at night. What started as a relaxing and enjoyable game has turned into pure frustration. Despite playing daily and making over 60 in-game purchases, I’ve never completed a single album. Even now, with 159 out of 162 cards collected and just 5 days left in the event, every new card pack I open gives me only duplicates.On top of that, the in-game competitions feel rigged. Rankings shift in minutes, with accounts using generic names and no profile pictures suddenly jumping ahead by hundreds of points—it looks like bots or manipulated results to push players into spending money.The game is becoming more and more monetized, and it feels like loyal, honest players are being punished while those who pay constantly get premium rewards. After all this time and money invested, I’m honestly considering quitting for good. Very disappointing.

The developers got greedy. With the most recent update you can no longer collect energy from the bubbles, there’s no energy chest after completing the level (that you were able to stash for later) and the reward chest is the smallest one from the bunch (it used to be bigger). All of that changes scream greedy developers to me.What I adored from the very beginning I started playing was amazing artwork. You can really tell artists worked hard on this game. I liked the occasional struggle when I had to grind for resources because with some dedication you could achieve a lot and it didn’t seem unfair. Now it’s no longer the case. Pay to proceed or wait for weeks before you can complete the order. Which is a shame because you can clearly tell that much love was put in this game - at least at first.
