Happy Street Review: A Street I'd Live On

It's been months since I landed on Happy Street, a universal app by Godzilab, fun place for adults and children alike. The primary goal of the game is to build and create your own happy town.

According to Godzilab: "You can discover a world where everybody is happy, create happy village, complete quests, craft items and discover Billy, Pepin and Zoe in a funny and fresh adventure.." 

When it comes to addictive building games, Happy Street for me is the best I've ever played. The first thing I adore in this game is its graphics. I came across this app after finding for a game which has good graphics because ya' know I am one of those OC peeps and I am very particular with the graphic display in terms of picking for a good app. I find this one, very clean, colorful and pleasant to the eye. The animation is delightful.


It was released on August 1st, 2012 for iOS and Android. It can be downloaded from the App Store or the Play Store. It is what is known as a freemium game - it is free to download, but if you want to accelerate your progress in the game, you may need to make in-app purchases. Build and upgrade shops and homes to create your town. Add decorative items and floors . Craft items to upgrade your buildings and complete quests. Visit the forest, mountain, and cave to cook, sculpt, and gather items. 

Happy Street is a freemium app, which means that by going farther down this street requires my commitment to making in-app purchases. In-app purchases will allow you to continue building a happy village. A neat social feature may appeal to those looking for this type of interaction and play. Despite of its simplicity, it's very easy to learn to play but you need a lot of patience to reach the higher levels. Sometimes the game may be a little slow especially when you seldom visit the game.

Did I mention that this game also has wicked and humurous side? There are certain adult humours which you can see as you play along. Upon writing this, I am now in level 32 looking forward to level 35 because when you pass out that level there are a lot more buildings that you can unlock.

You need gold coins to buy buildings and upgrade them. As you build houses, you acquire inhabitants.

Here's Zoe for a new quest.

There's a lucky spin game where you have a chance to win flooz (premium currency).

I am not usually a huge fan of in-app purchases, and I don’t prefer freemium games for my own personal use, but the stylized playfulness and attractive sound design and graphics are highly tempting. I can see the appeal of gamers to continue their journey down this dusty, mocha-colored road.

Happy Street is aptly titled. I get a light and giggly feeling as I listen to Pepin and Billy’s forested giggles and punchy quipping. Godzilab’s new app is pure and decadent pleasure. The fluff I see on my iPhone screen is the achingly sweet, pastel, and crystallized cotton candy of kiddie carnivals that melts on the tip of my tongue when it meets me.

You can go to the forest to plant trees, flowers, mushrooms, and catch fishes! You can even collect water in the water mill and acquire stone in the sacred rock. You can find Nyok's house to cook ingredients needed to build houses and buildings.

In the mountain you'll find Sopica, a sheep and the studio where you can craft materials that uses iron and stones. The excavation site is also located in the mountain.

In the cave you'll find Darthy and collect iron and glowing mushrooms.

And look there's a beach coming soon!

As a software tester, I have noticed some bugs but kudos for the developers of the game for their timely updates.

This is their latest update as of June 2013 (v 1.8.0) - Summer theme!

There were times when I get sick to it, but most of the time it suck up my spare time. Everything about this game for me is cute, really. The whole thing is fun to interact with. Meanwhile, I’ll trip the light fantastic in my patchy hot air balloon and ride the fields and forests to and through Happy Street.

Happy Street is definitely a street I'd live on.
