Less fun and more money grabbing

I’ve been playing for 9 months or so. I was going to quit around Christmas but the storyline and events kept me coming back and I eventually started buying characters because they enhanced the fun I was already having. However, the events lately have become more and more about getting us to spend money in order to do well in the event. This latest change, which revamped how the entire event runs is the worst! It is set up to be very in your face as to what you are missing out on if you don’t spend money. I get that you are a business but you have gone too far to pressure players into spending money. You already get ad revenue from the videos we watch. The in-game purchases have constant buttons on the screen that block the play area. And now this. I had gotten to where I was purchasing the character every event simply because I was having fun with it. I’m not quite ready to throw in the towel as many in our Facebook group have. Not quite...but if the blatant greediness continues I’m gone.

Nice But Could Be Better

I downloaded this app over a year ago. Initially it was fun and great to play. However, to advance levels, obtain Peanuts character cards, and obtain different items in the game’s market costs a lot of money. It’s all about money now! It’s so sad. This app could be a really great app, but no one wants to play an app where they have to spend money constantly, or watch ads all the time to advance in the game. It feels like I will never get past level 37. All the items in the market, the characters and their houses, none of it seems attainable at how much they cost. And unfortunately the blue inventory backpack fills up very quickly, so items have to be obtained, which costs money, to finally get the characters to play out scenes in locations, in order to win the item required to get more space in the inventory backpack. The only thing I really like that makes me want to open the app is the A Dog’s Coffee House theme that’s going on right now. I do love it! It’s cute and fun to play. I wish there were an option where we could select one of the seasonal themes to apply to the setting of the game’s appearance because I would select the Dog Coffee House theme all year round. Unfortunately the items of this theme, such as the barista and waiter/waitress seasonal character cards are all very expensive.

Don’t Bother!!

This game should come with a warning to back it up daily so you can restore it when it crashes (which is frequently). It has some major flaws. First, once you've built the town and acquired all the characters, it is boring. There are not enough scenarios to keep it interesting. Second, it is incredibly hard to obtain enough beagle bucks (dollar bills) to purchase the items needed to accomplish scenarios, unless you pay real money to buy them. To add insult to injury, the action boxes are set up in such a way that it is far too easy to spend those hard-gained dollars accidentally. Many users have asked the game developers to add in a confirmation for such actions, and the developers have said they are working on it, but that has not been provided despite numerous updates since I've been playing the game (about 9 months now). UPDATE: I tried this game again after a long hiatus. After a week, the game would not open after showing the Pixowl logo and would bump me back to my home screen. I couldn’t play the game, and after 3 days of trying to get help from customer support, I was told that if I had a backup of the game they *might* be able to restore it fairly close to the level of achievements I had attained; if not, I would have to delete the game and reinstall it, back at the beginning! I love the concept and the graphics, but this game is a huge disappointment and I cannot recommend this game to anyone—and I’m a major Snoopy fan.

Play scenes don’t work,game deletes purchased items and not receiving any help from game techs!!!!

Update: I’ve been reading all reviews and I’m glad to see I’m not only one Whois having problems!! I’m still waiting on the items I’ve lost because of glitches this game owes me camp patches the fort bc by the time you answer I will have lost my chance to get it! Game owes me Harriet special,Raymond,the little pigtailed girl and now you owe me dinosaur bones 3 at this time bc the scenes boot out! As much money you guys make off of us I know y’all can afford to compensate those of us who’ve lost out on game! Be lucky I’m not adding Molly on here bc that’s when the game scenes started booting me out!!! I’ve spent hundreds of dollars on this game for years but I quit playing bc it kept messing up deleting items I’ve purchased! I love this game however every time I do the mountain scene it boots the players out and I lose the camp patch and deletes my purchases! I’ve purchased twice and each time it happens I’ve tried the mountain scene 5 times and each time my characters are booted out!! Once again I lose the scene prize like the tennis scene!! This is the reason I quit the first time! I’ve asked for them to return my purchases but they haven’t shown up yet! And since u don’t get the option to get certain items or characters in marketplace u have to buy them if u want to win the scenes.

Disappointed!!!

Halloween event is a joke! First off no decorations unless u spend money or ONE u can earn, but it’s difficult! Seriously… what a stingy game! Only ONE decoration? My storage is always full, why can’t we sell something or delete an item in our storage. I refresh my sell board but that’s not a big help. This has made it difficult to do the Halloween event now. No I’m not spending money to increase storage and I’m not spending money for a Halloween decorations. I sure hope Thanksgiving and Christmas isn’t like this. If so, you WILL loose players! I’ve been playing tablet apps when there were no games but search n find, etc. AND being on FB in game groups, people complain about this more then anything! Games offering nice items but we gotta spend money, therefore many of us drop the games because of this. Why support a game where the developers r real greedy. Game developers can be more generous, which would show how much u appreciate your players, especially the ones who do spend real money! I’ll change my rating to higher stars if I see a better holiday then this one. U have a chance to make things easier and offer more decorations we can earn. Thanksgiving and Christmas is around the corner. If not when Christmas event comes and I see it like this Halloween event I will immediately delete this game. Thanks for reading.

Okay

I enjoy the game a lot but I too have issues with the glitches and cannot log into the game at times missing my missions that I was working so hard for. Everything is timed and makes you spend lots of time on the game which is fine but not okay when you get kicked out. Their response is good at getting back with me but that’s it, nothing more. I try my best to earn the dollars working at the game. The Christmas event is going on and now they set it up where you Have to spend real money in order to get the character Rerun and to be able to play the scene. I realized that days after working so hard to get the work done. Not cool! I have spent real money in the past on this game and I’m beginning to be very unhappy now. Love the characters and missions even though it’s timed. However, I may be walking away soon if I have to spend real money in order to get a character. UPDATE: It has been 3 yrs of playing and spending money to get the characters. I enjoyed the game because it helped with my memory. It was getting to the point of every 10-15 mins that I had to play to get anywhere in the game, especially when they made the new bumper car scene. I’m exhausted and will be deleting the game. If you want to pass by idle time, great and if not, not worth it.

Good game, but....

I spend 30 to 40 dollars on each event. Yes, it’s expensive! In the past I would never have paid so much to play a game. However, I really enjoy playing this game. I have an issue that has been continuous. I try to collect the Snoopy dollars that can be earned to expand my acreage, but every time I accumulate a decent amount they disappear. I haven’t used any. Not on purpose anyway! Where did they go?!!!! It makes me angry! This has happened numerous times! There needs to be a second prompt to ask if you are sure that you want to spend your Snoopy Dollars. I wish I could look back somehow and see how they were spent or where they went. This is an issue that needs to be resolved. Reading reviews I realized I’m not the only one this has happened to. This needs to be fixed! The amount to open a new area is outrageous as it is! Then, the Snoopy dollars just disappear! I also keep reading where the developers keep saying this is a free app. It is, unless you want the new characters and want to finish the challenges.

Snoopy town

I love Snoopy town. I couldn’t play it at the beginning because I didn’t have a advice that worked with Snoopy town. When I finally got a device to play on I missed out on a lot of the fun stuff at the beginning and the characters I no longer can get. I’ve been a fan of snoopy, since I was a very young child. This game brings me back to my childhood. I love the challenges and the Little challenges as well. I’m very competitive with myself. Every so often there glitches in the game but they seem to get fixed pretty quickly. I’m not enjoying the monopoly to get the dollars because they seem to last longer than they’re supposed to so many things that we have to click on that they pause and Don’t continue until you click three or four different things. All and all it’s pretty fun game and I enjoy it very much. Thank you and keep up the good work. PS if there’s anyway to get the characters from the beginning, I’d be so excited.
