Summary

Homescapes is all about helping the main character, Austin, renovate his parent's mansions. He starts to miss home and moves back in with his parents, Olivia and William, who tell him that they are planning to sell the mansion because it's in bad condition. Not only do they talk about the renovations costing too much, but they also point out that their ages won't allow them to do the work themselves. Austin tries to convince his parents to change their mind and tells them that he'll work as a butler to afford the renovations. The player needs to collect stars during gameplay, which is what's used to unlock the various renovations. As players get farther into the story, they learn more about Austin's parents and details of his childhood.

This game is very similar to others out there and you have to clear boards by matching 3 or more of the same item. You'll have a limited number of moves and you'll need to try and clear the board before you run out. As you beat levels, you'll start leveling up and getting more powerups that are designed to help you win. You can also earn powerups by combining a certain number of items. For example, you'll get a disco ball if you match 5 or more in one line and you'll get a rocket by matching 4 in one line.

Gameplay

When you first start playing, you'll get put onto a tutorial board. This level will teach you how to play the game and show you what you need to do to get more powerups. Each level will show you how many moves you have and any goals you need to reach will be on top. For example, one level might require you to get a certain number of items, while another might require you to use a certain number of specific powerups. You can get these powerups by using your in-game coins or earning them as you continue leveling up.

There might be levels where you make more than 1 powerup as you're playing through. If they happen to be next to each other, you can swipe them and they'll combine to give more powerful plays. For instance, 2 rockets will clear 1 column and 1 row, while 2 rainbow balls will clear the entire board. If you still have moves and haven't reached the goal, the board will refill and you can continue playing. There are many different events that will give players a chance at getting exclusive rewards. An example would be once you get to a certain level, you'll unlock a story that revolves around Austin's cat falling in love with another cat and you'll need to beat special levels to finish the mission.

Final Review

If you're a big fan of other popular matching games, then Homescapes is a great option. You can have fun clearing the boards and working towards collecting stars to help Austin make the renovations to his parents mansion. You have plenty of options for different powerups and you can enjoy playing in many different locations. When considering the pros and cons, it's safe to say that this game is worth it. It's a great way to pass the time and keep yourself entertained, as well as giving you a sense of accomplishment as you go through the game and make the renovations.
