How much would you attribute to logic puzzling fun and how much for addiction to a incremental, time-spent based reward system.

It wasn’t a puzzle type of game at all. I just meant you could play it casually or take it more seriously. Most of the serious players had maxed all event builder items, pets, storage. They were proud of their efforts and displayed it for all to see. (You could visit your friends islands and help them out on dives etc) The graphics are stunning. All the thought that had gone into the little details was brilliant. Even your pets look up at you through your screen and each one has at least 3 animations. They would interact with different items just for them. The characters in the game all had storylines and you built up reputation with them unlocking new recipes for the mills. I also think the story lines made it more time consuming to add new levels as there was so much thought behind it. Island space was a big issue with players. There was so much you could do to decorate and never enough room with the pets constantly been added to the game. In all it’s time there was only 1 land expansion. Maybe this was due to high level of graphics? I for one bought a new iPad in 2017 just to play PB so it ran smoother. I know as the game progressed some couldn’t run it on their tablets. But as with all games, as they improve we have to upgrade. PCs, consoles, tablets. I maybe naive but I hope someone can take this game and keep it running. That would be a bonus! If they don’t then I’m slowly coming to terms with another gaming love been over.

  I feel with you, still you should accept that it is addictive nevertheless. Let's start by spending some time with each other instead? ;) I am certainly NOT going to look for another distraction, as I have cursed the game at times for being all so sweet - and it is/was....! ;)
