This game is definitely addicting and can be fun, but also very frustrating at times. (Eg, will you spend 1 Star to try a wind-powered scare-mole or 3 to get a sonic mole deterent would you like to add the topiaries? Will you use the experimental fertilizer or go organic?) IMHO, It needs an hourly lucky spin for more moves at the end of a game or at least some options so you don’t have to do some of the useless tasks. It is becoming more frustrating than fun. Then, after some really tough levels, you spend stars to get AUSTIN to get into the diving suit, and then it turns night, and you don’t return to that plot for at least another dozen stars.

The lake is really frustrating because you start it then have to go back to other areas before you can make any progress. You have no choice-I don’t want to invest in more bushes here or send everything to the lab, and you are forced into silly side projects that you cannot advance without. Then the games got really tough after 480, and I ended up buying some coins to get through it, but it stayed tough, and the tasks started costing more and more stars. It was annoying, though, when the games got tough, and I had to spend stars on silly things I did not think were needed.

At first, I was annoyed at the silly butler and all the time it took to make the garden features, but then I kind of got used to it, and I looked forward to new areas. Okay, this game is definitely not what the ad was for, but it is a great distraction and is really addictive.
