Well yes. It was time to show my face and recognize my most hidden vice. I've been playing Gardenscapes for over 3 years. Hey, that's it. I said it already. Game by game, little by little I managed to get past level 5,600 of this popular mobile game. So I have been asked to make a list of the tricks that I consider most important, necessary and practical to become a teacher of Gardenscapes Are you ready to level up like there's no tomorrow? Here are the tips…
Before we jump into action, a little reminder about what Gardenscapes is, why it has so many downloads, and above all, how it has managed to survive for so long in this hard-fought world of mobile gaming. The story of the game starts at the Institute about 18 years ago, when two Russian brothers, Igor and Dmitri Bukhman decide to sell programs over the Internet. And from there they created their first game called Discovera with which they managed to earn about 65 euros the first month. Their following games would be posted on the Big Fish Games portal, a portal specialized in simple, fast, free games. That's also where this Gardenscapes appeared And it wasn't until 2016 that they decided to launch mobile game
A piece of information that gives an idea of your success. Only on Android phones (the most popular operating system for these devices) accumulates more than 100 million downloadsAnd millions still play every month to kill boredom on the way home.
To help you pass the levels more easily I have prepared this list of 10 tricks. Some are simpler, obvious. Yes I know. Before those more than one will think "well, what a silly trick, I already knew this." But there are also slightly more advanced tricks that not everyone (I hope) knows about. If you know any more, you know, share in the comments.
How to get rainbow lightning sooner
If you've played Gardenscapes, by now you know very well that one of those tools that help you pass levels is the rainbow beam. That white circle that when combined with a fruit, eliminates all the fruits of that color that are on the board. Well, to get the blessed rainbow ray you have to activate explosives. There is no other. And what you may not know is that each type of explosive has a different value.That is, the higher the power of the explosive, the faster the lightning is achieved Specifically, from lower to higher power these are the 3 types of explosives that can be exploded to get the rainbow: rocket, bomb and dynamite If you also explode several together in the same explosion, the faster the beam is reached.
How to destroy the entire board
Would you like to be able to directly destroy all the squares on the board? Well, there is a way to achieve it. Is not easy. Not easy. But it can be done. You just have to manage to join two rainbow rays together, one in the box next to the other. Selecting the two beams together generates the big MEGA explosion that explodes every square on the board. To join the two rays can be done in several ways.One is once to get a bolt and then hold without using it until you get the second before the remaining moves run out. It's not easy at all. And the temptations to use that beam without waiting for the second will be there all the time. But the ultimate prize is worth the wait.
Another way to get two lightning early is to use a lightning joker from the start of the game. In any case, even when you get both lightning bolts on the board at the same time, the next thing is to get them together, one next to the other. For this there is a trick, when you see that you are about to get the second beam, create the explosion near the first beam and then the second will appear in that area.
The goal, always the goal
Focus on the objective of each level Oh but those purple squares make me very angry and I want to explode them. I just like to break boxes or get as many apples as possible.Forget your cravings. Focus on the goal of each level. It doesn't have to be the same as the previous level. What's more, each level has its own objective. That has to be your commitment. Ornaments, flourishes, hobbies, these are not used to pass the level in Gardenscapes.
Don't waste coins
When you're about to reach a level (or at least that's what you think) you're always tempted by the option of spending 900 coins to get extra moves. It's so simple right? Well, my advice is don't do it. Or that if you do, it's because you're absolutely certain that with those extra moves you're really going to finish the level. Many times you just think that you could achieve it, but it is not 100% sure. Well, don't waste your coins if you're not 100% sure
Do you see the button below that says ORDER? Well with that you get up to 5 additional livesGet extra lives
A few months ago, the creators of Gardenscapes expanded the game's options by creating player teams. Something that still seems silly to you because overall, what advantages are you going to achieve? Well, there is a clear advantage. And it is that if you are in one of these teams (and for that the level of the players that make it up does not matter) you can get extra lives with relative ease. From the team window where the list of those who make it up appears, you have a button on the bottom left where it says Request with a drawing of a heart. Pressing it lets you ask for lives and after a while you will get up to 5 extra lives to use at any time
Of course, this trick has a limit. You can only ask for more lives every 4 hours. And you can only accumulate a total of 15 extra lives with this system. Even so, they are more than enough to play you several extra games at any time.
Don't use the rainbow beam the first time
It's tempting isn't it? Do you want to use it now? Don't wait any longer. Well, don't do it yet. It is still convenient to wait to use it when you have more fruits of the color that you are wanting to explode on the entire board. You can still make a few more movements to get more fruits of that color and thus achieve more effectiveness with the use of the rainbow.
Or it is still a better option to use it with fruits of other colors that are not currently attached to the circle. Think twice before exploiting it And don't do it lightly. Oh, and remember that if you also save it and wait for another rainbow ray, the result is even more spectacular.
The trick for the wheel of fortune is…
Every 24 hours, Gardenscapes offers you a Ferris wheel that you can spin for an additional reward. There appears a bomb, extra lives, a rainbow ray... But, without a doubt, the prize of prizes is that surprise box that contains all kinds of rewards.The one called Jackpot. The one you only get once in a while. And what are you trying to achieve by calculating well when you have to activate the wheel brake. Well then, the trick to the wheel of fortune is... that there is no trick
Really? Well yes, that clear and simple. Like you, I have tried all kinds of combinations, calculations and times of the day. Does not matter. The creators of the game don't let you hit that Jackpot. They will decide when to give it. And it usually happens every so often.
Choose the place for the explosion well
When exploding a rocket, a bomb or, even better, dynamite, take a good look at which square you do it in so that it reaches more things that interest you. Each one has a set number of explosive range tiles. So you are interested in calculating well in which square it is best to exploit it to break as many obstacles as possible.
The same applies if you are going to put two or more explosives together and create a chain of explosions. Study the scope well to get the most out of the action.
Accept suggested moves… or not
When you don't touch the screen for a while in the middle of a game, Gardenscapes recommends a possible move by flashing the cells that you can move. A bit stressful, by the way, because maybe you're just calculating the next move. Well then, don't get carried away by that suggestion That recommendation is not always the best. Rather it seems that in most cases it is a random one of all that can be done.
Park your phone and you'll pass the level
If you're stuck in a level that you can't progress through, try letting time pass without playing again. It almost always works. You let 24 or 48 hours pass. And when you play that level again that seemed impossible to you, miraculously they make it so easy for you that you manage to pass it.
Let's not fool ourselves. The objective of the creators of Gardenscapes is that you spend as many hours as possible hooked on the game. And for this they know that having you stuck in the same level for a while increases the chances, not only of getting more hooked, but above all that you end up spending money (real) to pass the happy level once and for all. Well, you have to be patient here Don't fall into the trap. Quit the game and don't open it again for a day or two.
You will see how miraculously when you pass that abstinence period (your mental he alth will thank you by the way), the level goes to the first or second with relative ease.
