Favorite merge game

I have tried a ton of cooking merge-style games. This one has become my favorite! I love the clear graphics and cartoon style, it’s not clunky and challenges are satisfying. If I had to give any feedback at all, it would be to incorporate a few things I’ve seen in other games: 1) take the equipment sounds off the continuous loop, so that you don’t have to click another item on the board to stop it, 2) when you have a lot of excess energy, allowing for an optional booster to get higher value pieces for more energy spent, and 3) not showing the finished versions of the restaurants before completing renovations. It makes the remodels more satisfying when you only see the finished product after doing the work. I 100% recommend the game, but these few things would make gameplay near perfect. Thanks for the consideration!!

It's too bad that this game could be a lot of fun but unfortunately the matches are way too repetitive and keep you circling back over and over to finally reach a match but that isn't even the real negative about this game. I have had only 1 match to go and have attempted to come back after the energy times out within just about a minute and only creating about 5 to 6 items each time so unless you pay your way out you will be stuck for days attempting to get that last match. It becomes a real waste of time and for sure NOT fun anymore when the only way to continue for even just a short duration is pay to play. It just feels like extortion. I have paid but after acouole times seeing the way this operates I refuse to pay just to make a few more moves. With that said I would recommend finding another match game. This one is just too greedy and you can find many other options that are not as extreme as this one!Update: response from developer was positive and sincere. They are looking to improve the game so that other options are available than having to purchase your way through. I look forward to giving more stars when they do. The game is fun and although it’s a pain not getting very far very fast without making purchases I am still playing it because I really like the game. I appreciate the developers response and look forward to them following through with some changes to give this game 5 stars!

It’s pointless

Playing this game was good to start . The issue comes in in to when you have to upgrade to get the ingredients on different levels it should be a way to make more energy faster . Why do I have to wait 30 min to an hour for my energy to charge up just to only be able to get half of the things I need to get one or the two things I have to make to get the ingredient I need to make the dish . I don’t want to have to spend money to play games all the time . It don’t make sense. At all it definitely needs to be more ways to make energy outside of buying it ..maybe turn ingredients you don’t need on the table into energy,make a game to build energy out side of the ones you have which only lets to get coins . You get coins faster than energy to actually play the game . I was thinking of deleting it but I said maybe as you go up higher it does let you get more energy but it doesn’t it the same 100 when you actually need 400 to make one of an ingredient you need smh it’s considered a waste of time to me

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such detailed and thoughtful feedback with us. We truly appreciate players who care deeply enough about the game to offer constructive suggestions.We completely understand your frustration regarding the energy system. You are absolutely right that the current energy regeneration rate can make the gameplay feel restrictive, especially when you need a large amount of energy to craft specific ingredients.Your ideas are incredibly valuable. We have specifically noted down your brilliant suggestions, including introducing new mini-games designed to reward players with energy instead of just coins, and adjusting the energy cap to better match the demands of higher-level crafting. I have forwarded these points directly to our development and design teams.Also, regarding your idea about turning ingredients into energy, we actually have a similar feature in the game! You can use the "Sell Ingredients" function to convert unused ingredients into energy. However, we completely agree with you that this feature might not be obvious enough, and we will definitely share your feedback to make this function more accessible to all players.Thank you again for your honesty and for giving us the chance to improve. We hope you will continue to share your thoughts with us as we work on future updates.

Annoying hand

I like the game but, I am on level 55 and there is a hand that keeps telling me what to do and its so annoying, I’ve turned of hints and I’m far past the tutorial so idk why it keeps popping up. I’ve played almost every merge game on the App Store and I like this one but energy is definitely a problem I only get like 2 min of gameplay every now and again and the higher the level, the more complicated the orders get. This causes me to take days to finish orders. Also every time I level up I should get 100 energy the prizes in this game are bad and doesn’t help at all and the good prizes are behind a pay wall🫤.This game is like flambé but I actually like this one better. I hope for better updates for this game!Reply to developer- As I stated in my original review I was in level 55 way past level 7 and the hand/glove is still there. Now I am on level 65 and it is still an issue. Its makes me not want to play anymore as it tells me what to do. Might delete 🫤
