Merge Inn - Tasty Match Puzzle 4+

I like it

It’s cute and dynamic, well-done.
To the developers: the event that just ended was for me what really made the game. Timed unlimited energy at predictable intervals is genius because it adds a whole new layer of strategy, you have this constant incentive to prepare for those bonuses, clear space, plan in advance etc. and you get to really enjoy the side jobs, especially the one with levels. I really hope you make it a permanent feature or bring back the event
Also I don’t fully understand the logic of increasing cost of energy that fast. It makes buying gems to extend gameplay pointless because the gems are priced the same but the gem cost of energy rapidly declines the more you play. Why not just keep it at 10? 100 energy goes by fast, especially with side jobs

Very fun game but two things drive me nuts

I started playing this game maybe around 1-2 months ago and it’s been a fun game so far. Made it to level 23 and this is the the merge game so far I’ve played that is super generous with energy (or you can use the ads to speed up an item). I had almost 1k energy once! There is always a side job to do so there is something to do while items charge up in the main game. The characters are fun and it’s funny to see what they like to order in each level!

The downsides in the game is that when an item is out of charges, you can’t view the item stat or sell it (for some reason) because it is replaced with the character that asks to charge up the game. And this doesn’t go away until it is charged up again. And the big downside is that I accidentally bought the treasure box twice in the shop. That’s 300 gems down the drain on an item I never wanted that keeps moving around when I open the shop for the day. I could’ve have 400+ gems right now. I wish there was a warning that asks if I’m sure I want to buy it so I don’t waste so many gems. So now I got rid of all my gems and I’ll never save them up again.

Other than those two issues, this would be the perfect merge game.

Fun game, annoying currency ratios

The game is very fun and well made. The merges are interesting and there are always new items and side events that keep me engaged with the game. I don’t regret downloading it.

The only real downside is the most common one that affects most games I own: the in-game currencies. Energy is used up quickly and the only ways to get more other are waiting for it to recharge, watching videos every two minutes, or spending real money. I’m not spending real money on game currency, so when I get tired of ads, I just quit the game and come back to it later. Most things that don’t cost real money use diamonds, which are earned very slowly and can be spent very quickly. Game coins are easy to earn, but there isn’t much you can do with them as few things can be bought with coins. I have nearly 3000 game coins now, and nothing much to spend them on. So, anyway, the ratios of currency and energy are quite irritating and reduce game play for me.

However, this is a common game problem with iPad games! Most game developers seem to think that if they make the game currency ratios as annoying as possible, that they will somehow seduce me to use real money to buy more of the in-game currency. Sorry, not happening! I have better things to spend my real money on. All your annoying ratios do is to make me play your game less than I otherwise would!

Apart from the currency annoyances, it’s a great game and I really enjoy playing it.
