Why can I not collect acorns from my beetles
Plus I paid for two white roses and they disappeared
I think those Achievements are hard to get unless you have a lot of patience or willing to buy coins. I’m on level 15 now lets see how far I can go spending $0.
On a side note galaxy guy is impossible to beat unless you buy the slow downs. -__- [Posted from the 1800PocketPC app]
I can get past the Freemium nature of this title, but this game is seriously glitchy, especially as you level up. Once you get the Great Decorator achievement (or just have a lot of decorations in your village) the screen starts to go black randomly as you swipe and pinch in and out. Putting items in “storage” — which there is no way to access once you decide to put something there, by the way — will fix this issue, but it shouldn’t be a problem in the first place.
Also, around level 13 or so, everyone in the WP7 market place (including me) have been complaining about how events like the Stinkbugs, Lady Bugs, and Ant Lions stop spawning all together, which makes it impossible to get two of the achievements for the game as well as multiple quests in the game. The Leaderboards don’t work and there are a lot of social aspects that are available in Android and iOS versions of the game that aren’t in the WP7 release.
I don’t care about waiting for things to “harvest” or that there is a pay-to-play aspect to the game — although I wouldn’t suggest it as a game for kids who might be likely to purchase Microsoft Points off their parent’s gamertag without understanding that that means — because it’s easy enough to level up without having to purchase coins or acorns at all. I check in maybe three times a day, spend two minutes doing what I can, then exit and move on with my life.
When starting the missions, come out of the game and set your clock forward on the phone. Go back to the game ;o)
How on Earth does a game that is “a waste of your time and bandwidth” get a 3/5 AVERAGE score?
BestWP7Games’s style guide reserves 2/5 and 1/5 for games that are glitchy (in the former) and utterly broken (in the latter) – for all its flaws I literally couldn’t give Bug Village a lower score due to it, well, actually working. I just have to hope that people read more than just the number!
Interesting scoring system, thanks for responding.
And I do agree the Bug Village is really bad.
I have no interest in even trying these stupid freemium games. The only thing that caught my attention for this article was the title and I wanted to see just had disappointing the experience was.
wiper you got a new fan.
An excellent review my friend. Unlike some of the review sites where all xbox live games are always 5/5 stars
- Coin info is saved inside the game file, which allows to add an arbitrary amount of money on an unlocked phone.
- Game time relies on the system time. Therefore it’s possible to adjust time and instead of waiting 48h, we wait 2 minutes.
- Game save -If I’m not mistaken, for Microsoft Points you buy things that become the player’s property. Games, avatar extras, are buoght forever. Here, no matter how many coins I buy, how many items I unlock, how much I spend on accelerating time, it’s sufficient to uninstall the game (phone change, system change, hard reset, misbehaving game) and everything will be lost, that is, real money paid on Microsoft Points.
Yep this is “cynical” games.

Is anyone else having the black screen issue? I can see menu items, but the entire board is black! Maybe I have too many piles and ant houses? I’ve contacted GLU but haven’t heard a word…
Oh man! I really really hope they have a way to block those in game purchases or this game will have to go… My 7 yr old cousin gets my phone every now and again and plays games and I don’t want him accidentally buying the in game items… [Posted from the 1800PocketPC app]
I think this will just be the start of freemium titles on Windows Phone. Many games adopt this model over the paid model these days
Its freemium and that my friends is crap
One note. This is not free, it is freemium. It has in app purchases (using xbox points)
willen

10 gold = 160mp
30 gold = 400mp
65 gold = 800mp
100 gold = 1200mp
140 gold = 1600mp
1000 acorns = 160mp
3000 acorns = 400mp
6500 acorns = 800mp
10000 acorns = 1200mp

Does anyone know if i can start a job then leave the game on and come back to have the work completed ?
the work will not complete whilst the game is not in the foreground.
only whilst the game is onscreen can the timers count down.
If you close the game the timer does in fact continue.
If you setup a 6hour job and leave the app closed, time still ticks on.
Does the time keep running when I close the game ?
no, it does not.
to test yourself, turn on screensaver, then wait a few minutes, return and the time on the clock remains the same
correction: time does in fact continue, as long as the game is closed.
if its in the background the timer freezes.
FREE XBOX Live game .. Woo hoo!
