I am hopelessly hooked on this game…if you like merge games, you will like this one. There is always something new to conquer and while it definitely gets harder as you go along, and spending money is something you will need to do to progress more quickly, there are a number of reasonable offers that keep the spending more manageable. Here are some things I learned along the way: merging coins, gems, and keys make no difference - also true when you only need an amount of wood or bricks rather than the high level object to build - the cumulative value of merged items is the same as the sum of its parts. So just collect the low level items when you get them. The only exception to this is when you use stars to complete a merge, but there aren’t enough stars to really make a huge difference. Some of the side quests are there to just separate you from your money - be sure you need the prizes offered or you will just empty your till of energy.

If you come into this game expecting the ring twist game shown in the previews and ads you will be disappointed.This is a merge style game that is Alice in Wonderland themed. As someone who likes merge style games and has played quite a few, this is one of the better ones. There are plenty of fun side things (like the cooking and aspect) that keep it from getting too repetitive and doesn’t automatically merge stuff you put next to each other giving you more control over where you put stuff and less time spent worrying about it or making mistakes. Also the absence of any ads you don’t opt into is a wonderful change of pace.However there are things that prevent this from being five stars. The beginning tutorial is a PAIN to get through. There are like three pointless text bubbles every single time you do something and it makes getting through the beginning irritating. The other is the layout. There is just a LOT going on there are six promotion boxes to click on and the entire outline of the game it full of clickable boxes. It is kind of overwhelming to look at especially with the apps art style which is already pretty detailed. Neither of these make the game unplayable, but it would be more pleasant without them.

While I understand the purpose of the limited time events is to provide additional revenue for the developer, as well as enjoyment for the end-user, having them run for longer seems would benefit all parties. By giving the end-users the opportunity to progress further and possibly complete them, it would increase the likelihood that end-users would spend some money to complete them, especially if they are close to completing the event. When an end-user is only able to complete a fraction of the event, they are much less likely to spend any money in order to complete it. I’ve seen and experienced this method in other emerge games, and personally spend quite a bit of money in them. Your events are too short to make it worth my while in spending money. Also the limited offers to purchase bonus items (boosts, energy, etc.) should have lower prices to encourage users to purchase them. As previously mentioned, I spent quite a bit of money in other merge games, but your prices are higher, so I’ve only made a few purchases.Otherwise, this is a great game that I enjoy spending a lot of time in!

I have been playing this game for a while now, wanted to give it a fair shake and I can honestly say overall it’s a fun game. However, as others have mentioned if you a downloading it for the ring portion, that does not last long…it is sort of a mini game. I love that the gameplay is continuously changing week after week with these extra side adventures!The Cons…I do not think you can fully enjoy this game without spending money. I don’t particularly mind spending some money on a game I am enjoying, but this game’s in app pop ups are borderline ridiculous and I haven’t been able to turn them off. Moreover, the further you get into the game, the more expensive it gets! A new Adventure Island just launched and as I am working thru it one of the tasks requires me to pick 72 flowers, each flower takes 85 energy to pull…that’s over 6,000 energy just for one PART of one task!! Oh and you are only given 75 energy a day…you would think the answer would be to buy more energy with coins, however if you refill a couple times, then the coins required to refill your energy begins to double and triple!! If it wasn’t so expensive, this would be a 5 star game hands down!!!
