![]() This led to parents entering their password for one reason or another and then handing their device off to their kids who would fire up Smurfs’ Village and click away recklessly buying Smurfberries.Īpple was not very pleased with Beeline over the uproar of angry customers, and it turns out that the government wasn’t very pleased with Apple’s in-app purchasing system either, and launched an investigation into how that system works this past February. Part of the problem was the loose way that Beeline had implemented the IAP functionality, and the other part of the problem was that Apple’s own iTunes account system would keep users logged in for up to 15 minutes after entering a password and making a purchase in a game. The IAP system in Smurfs’ Village allowed you to make multiple purchases with just a few clicks, and in the weeks following the game’s release Apple had a huge number of requests for refunds by parents whose younger children had accidentally bought hundreds of dollars of Smurfberries in the game. The IAP currency didn’t just suck the joy out of the game, though, but also sucked the money out of many unhappy parents’ bank accounts. Crops would wither and die if you weren’t constantly attentive of them and purchasing the IAP Smurfberry currency was basically required to obtain some of the cooler items in the game. Unfortunately, the freemium aspect sucked a lot of the joy out of the Smurfs’ Village. We actually quite liked Smurfs’ Village in our review, noting that it did incredible fan-service to fans of The Smurfs and had gorgeous Retina Display graphics that brought everything to life. It was a Farmville-like freemium sim game that was themed after the popular 3-apple high blue folk many of us remember from our childhood. If you would like to permanently move your Cloud Save and Smurf ID from one platform to another (Android to iOS etc.), then you will need to submit a ticket with the Customer Support Team.You may recall back in November when Beeline Interactive (formerly Capcom Mobile) released Smurfs’ Village into the App Store. Doing this will result in a "Platform Mismatch" error. For example, this means you cannot create the ID on an iOS device, and then use it to log in to an Android device and recover your Cloud Save. Please note: Your Smurf ID can only be linked to one platform at a time. If everything is correct, choose yes to recover the Cloud Save. On the Cloud Save Menu, tap on the Load button to preview the Cloud Save. Once again make sure you are logged into your Smurf ID account, and then press the Cloud Save Button. When you are ready to transfer your progress to your new device, open Smurfs' Village on your other device and go to the Menu > Settings Tab > My Account. If it does, then your progress should now be backed up to our Smurf ID Cloud Servers. Confirm that it shows the last save was just made on the current date and time. Make sure you are signed into/logged into your Smurf ID, and that the Autosave Option is on (Green). To create a backup of or transfer the village that you are currently using, go to the Menu > Settings Tab > My Account > Cloud Save. Follow the steps shown on your screen, and once you are registered, you can begin the process. If you do not have a Smurf ID, you can register for one by going into the Smurfs’ Village Menu > Settings > My Account > Smurf ID Login. This is done using our Smurf ID system on iOS, Android, and Amazon Kindle devices. We do offer Cloud Save backups to safeguard your data and allow you to transfer your progress between devices. ![]()
