I enjoy this game. It’s cute, it’s fun, & the characters are quite diverse. That said, I’ve passed 100 days in the game & am at level 88/89. It’s been taking me all day to fill one order even with the pass & its added benefits. I don’t get my free energy anymore, which is […]

Im at level 102 after a long break (yrs), it has changed a lot but not in the ways that really matter. the energy regen is still at 100. you have the choice to merge items at up to 4x the starting level of the item. so that’s literally 25 times you get to press […]

It’s truly fun, the story lines are entertaining and it kept me engaged for about 5 days, but takes WAY too long for your energy to add up and the items take WAY too much energy to produce. There’s not enough options to earn extra energy, like watching ads. There needs to be a separate […]

Really cute game but costly! If you are not willing to sink alot of money into this game, you will get to play about 5 minutes. Then you run out of energy and it takes forever to come back. It only regenerates 100 energy every 200 minutes or so. And most of the coins you […]

I really liked playing the game, but its a money sucker! over 3k in less than a month. (my own fault) but if you dont spend money you can only play for about 1 minute a day. also as you go up in levels, it costs more coins to buy things, and you get less […]

This game is very addictive. The bad part is waiting for things to recharge. I don’t care for waiting. I wish there were more free opportunities to get energy and a little more free storage. It takes time to build energy, so some quest are not possible to finish without spending. I can’t afford to […]

I enjoy the game a lot. I would rate it higher, but it seems its too expensive to play now. I used to have the ability to watch ads for energy, until the game noticed I was watching and that option disappeared. I spend money on the “deals” that come up but once you have […]

I’ve played a lot of merge games and this is probably my favorite. The artstyle is cute, the items aren’t too painstaking to make once you get a ways into the game, although it can progress slowly at the beginning. The events are fun, creative, and engaging (except the pirate event where you compete against […]

Overall it’s a fun merge game, but I absolutely HATE how it’s impossible to complete any of the events without (presumably) dropping a ton of money on the game. I tried it with this last vday event to see if I could make it work, and set alarms throughout the day to log in and […]

Update: They claim ads are random. Check the subreddit, everyone there agrees the ads for bonuses went away after they spent money, myself included. –Like this game quite a bit. Absolutely nothing like the weird ads. Warning, if you put ANY money into this game you can no longer watch ads for bonuses. Also it’s […]

The ads claim that they aren’t lying like every other ad and that what is shown is the actual gameplay, but it’s yet another lie. The game is nothing like the ads other than that you do merge things to make progress in the story. If you like merge games, then it’s fine enough, but […]

Design of it would be a 4*. The advertising for it was definitely misscomunicated. You really don’t do any of the survival puzzles it kept showing.I’ve been playing for 2 months now, and I haven’t been able to complete any of the side quests because they don’t give you enough energy to last through making […]

It starts off fun but gets slow fast. It takes way too much energy to make your merge items. I am at lvl 17 and cant do much. The energy takes forever to refill, and their really isn’t any way to get more unless you spend real $$$. And you get very little coins to […]

I would give this game 5 stars if it were based on game play alone. I love the game, but the fact that once you’re a higher level it takes days to fill orders is insane. And the side quests are impossible. I have even paid for several things and still have trouble. the fact […]

It’s a major pay to play/win when it comes down to the races and events both against “other people” and on general. Repetitive orders that require way too much energy to make. I usually drop some money when it’s a good game to help support the devs, and I’m not saying it isn’t – but […]

This MIGHT be a great game except that the creators dont increase your energy to correlate with the increased amounts needed as you reach higher levels. The orders become more complex and it becomes impossible to do anything on 100 energy. So you can play an average of about 3 minutes and have to stop […]

why can’t game ad producers show actual game play in the ads… this is a “fill the order” type game, with a story line that doesn’t even match the ad. Actual game play is ok, but never enough “energy” to create higher level items, plus the inability to create tea or fries when you need […]

requires too much money to enjoy. if you do not spend money, the game is sooooo slow and almost not enjoyable for more than 10 minutes at a time every 4 hours. it takes hours for your energy to turn back to full. but the more you play the MORE energy is required to complete […]

Honestly, it’s a fun, somewhat mindless game at first. However, as you progress, the orders often take more and more energy, but you’re still limited to the 100 energy max, and it takes 2 minutes to refill 1 energy. It ends up becoming cumbersome to continue. Maybe if they were to increase the max energy […]

I enjoy the game. However, you can only get your energies refreshed to 100. Unless you win or purchase energy. And the majority of the stuff that you have to make will take most of that. I don’t think they thought clearly about that. And when you level up this is the first game that […]
