Hello Everyone! I'm here to share my Pigg Life (Smartphone Edition) Review! The Apps title is どこでもピグライフ, which means Anywhere Pigg Life! I was really excited to read the article stating that they are accepting up to 50,000 members to begin playing the mobile version of Pigg Life! I'm assuming they will be accepting more players as the days pass because the servers were already working at maximum capacity when I signed on in the wee hours of the morning.
Phone Specs
LG LUCID
1.2GHz Dual Core Processor
ANDROID [Gingerbread]
4G LTE Network
*Used app on WIFI and carrier network
Notes before starting
*Don't use the Ameba App to access the game. You must use your browser
*Don't use private browser on the iPad. You must turn it off
*Recommends: Android 2.3+, Iphone (4, 4s) Safari iOS5, Ipad 2 Safari iOS5
Alright, I opened the browser and followed the link to begin Pigg Life! I was really excited until the screen appeared to be "loading" or frozen and stayed that way for 5 minutes. I got fed up waiting and decided to just refresh the page. That seemed to do the trick because the next time, it loaded up immediately.
The first thing I noticed was that my Pigg Life character was nowhere in sight. Also, unlike the video I showed to you earlier...you can no longer be signed in on both the mobile app version and PC version at the same time.
Speaking of nowhere in sight, your garden is hidden as well. You have the option of loading only the specific plots that you want to harvest/plant on. I'm sure your battery will thank you! However, as convenient as this may seem...it didn't seem to help. It could just be my processor, network or overloaded servers, but everything was moving at snails pace for me. Scroll was lagging and harvest/planting took a while to complete their tasks.
I decided to move to Ms. Emily's garden. I enjoy the fact that I can easily water plants without waiting for my Pigg Life Character to run over to the crops. However, since you can't see the entire garden, you'll have to load the individual land plots and in my case, since I can't remember the layout to many of my visitors gardens, I practically end up loading the entire garden before I find something to water. :(
You can also use the table and eat the food just like in the PC version.
You can't chat though and you will probably also notice there is no travel option. So, you can't go to any of the forests or market places and buy ingredients. But, you can use the shop catalog. There is also no chat option, which makes sense because you can't see any Pigg characters.
Overall, my favorite aspects of the App is how everything is condensed and I can harvest and plant super fast! I can't really judge the app because it's the first day of it's release and I'm sure the servers are overloaded but I will still rate it.
My rating for this app is a 4 out of 5. The 4 is due to its slowness when compared to how the game loads and plays in the Puffin Browser. All in all, I think it's awesome that they released an App version so soon and it's true to the PC version--unlike the Pigg fishing App :(-- . There also seems to be aspects of the mobile version that I'd like to see implemented in the Pc version.
If you want to try out the game here is the LINK! Happy Gardening!
