In Gardenscapes, all the powerups you create are bombs. Homescpaes has more traditional match-three powerups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I slightly like the Homescapes system more as I am more used to playing match-three games this way. But the Gardenscapes system is fun as well but for different reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"956\" src=\"https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/homescapes_level_85-1024x956.jpg\" alt=\"The Homescapes level start screen.\" class=\"wp-image-1897\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/homescapes_level_85-1024x956.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/homescapes_level_85-300x280.jpg 300w, https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/homescapes_level_85-768x717.jpg 768w, https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/homescapes_level_85.jpg 1388w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Screenshot of <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.playrix.homescapes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Homescapes<\/a> Android game.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Homescapes_Feels_Faster_Paced\"><\/span>Homescapes Feels Faster Paced<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Homescapes feels slightly more active than Gardenscapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"About_the_Story_in_Homescapes\"><\/span>About the Story in Homescapes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The story is about the same as well. But for some reason, I like the story in Homescapes slightly more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I suppose I find the idea of Austin helping his parents more interesting this time around. I can relate to this story more as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Austin comes home to find his parents want to sell their mansion. They think the cost to maintain and\/or fix the house is too high. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His parents (presumably) want to move to a smaller house or rent. Austin would rather help them fix up the house than sell it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The story of the game is how you go from each section of the house and renovate it.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"609\" src=\"https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/homescapes_tasks-1024x609.jpg\" alt=\"The Homesacpes task screen.

I think this game looks slightly better than Gardenscapes and I like the new art style.

You can buy coins to use to get powerups, boosters, extra lives, and to continue levels.\" class=\"wp-image-1901\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/homescapes_store-1024x611.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/homescapes_store-300x179.jpg 300w, https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/homescapes_store-768x458.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Screenshot of <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.playrix.homescapes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Homescapes<\/a> Android game.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_This_Game_Fair_for_People_Who_Dont_Spend_Money\"><\/span>Is This Game Fair for People Who Don&#8217;t Spend Money?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a fair game. I have not felt a need to buy anything. Even on hard levels, I was able to win what I got for free. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if you have a hard time with the game, you might run out of these free resources and be stuck on hard levels for a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Does_This_Game_Annoy_You\"><\/span>How Does This Game Annoy You?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_Need_to_Wait_for_Extra_Lives\"><\/span>You Need to Wait for Extra Lives<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The game makes you wait for extra lives. This is frustrating because some levels are very hard to beat. This is a huge buzzkill and makes me want to play other games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This extra lives system is very outdated, and I wish developers would stop using this type of system. This is wishful thinking, though, as many developers use it and not using is the exception.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"280\" height=\"280\" src=\"https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/annoyed_fox.png\" alt=\"Angry AndroidGamingFox\" class=\"wp-image-155\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/annoyed_fox.png 280w, https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/annoyed_fox-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/annoyed_fox-80x80.png 80w, https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/annoyed_fox-200x200.png 200w, https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/annoyed_fox-75x75.png 75w, https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/annoyed_fox-50x50.png 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 280px) 100vw, 280px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Some_of_the_Tasks_Seem_like_a_List_of_Chores\"><\/span>Some of the Tasks Seem like a List of Chores<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The game makes you spend stars on the tiniest of tasks.
