Gossip Harbor®: Merge & Story 12+

Some mistakes but overall a fun game.

This game was pretty fun to play. What surprised me the most was that it didn’t have many add. It’s very detailed and the story is very interesting.😁👍 HOWEVER it seems that the energy runs out VERY VERY quickly each ingredient takes 1 energy and I usually depend on energy potions so I get a little of energy. Each energy potion is just 40 for me and what’s enough for a whole day is 200+ so I can’t serve that many people meaning that I can’t continue the story and I have to wait a while to recharge my energy and since I’m impatient (one of my weaknesses) I can’t really handle the waiting since I need 200+ I have to wait 200+ minutes which is 3 hours I get really stressed and since this is one of my main games right now (in fact my only one) I don’t know what to do and I can’t install more games because my storage is low. 😭Overall A VERY FUN GAME!! 🤩🤌 just needs a tiny bit to become perfect. All I’m asking for is more energy for 1 minutes at least 3 is enough. ☺️🫰

Addicting but hard to advance without spending money

First off, the ads for Gossip Harbor are NOT consistent with the game. But nonetheless, Gossip Harbor is an incredibly addicting and low stress game. But as you advance in the game, it gets harder and harder to continue without spending money. You use “energy” to match items which build up to the final item that the customer is asking for. You can only accumulate a maximum of 100 energy, and you get 1 energy every 2 minutes. So it takes 200 minutes (over 3 hours) to accumulate all that. As you level up, the items become more “complicated.” For example, you need two cups of tea to make a glass of iced tea. You need two glasses of iced tea to make a mason jar of iced tea. And you need two mason jars of iced tea to make the final pitcher of iced tea. That means you need 40 energy to make the pitcher. But some items require more iterations, so you would need easily 200 or more energy. You can’t move forward in the game until you make enough customer items for coins. So then there are packs you can pay for energy and jewels (which buy you energy or items so you don’t need to use energy). The packs are usually between $1-4, so not much at first. But you can easily spend a large amount in a week depending on how impatient you are.

Fun game

Pros: The game is fun and simple to play. No advertisements other than the ones you chose to watch to gain elements to advance/level up.

Cons: it takes a while to gain coins to complete the events to level up once you’re a h a certain level. The experience points should match so what to how many coins it took to get there. I.e. 190 coins only gives you 19 experience points. It took a lot to get those coins and you get nothing in return. Also, it takes forever to build up the generators and there is no where to store what is given to you without using diamonds and the amount needed for one storage place is insane. I would consider changing this or make it a prize to win a space every now and then. Also, the board is a little small. Consider adding two more rows. Winning the prizes to build the generators up takes a little long too. I know you can purchase in the game but if took less time I think people would be more inclined to buy. The energy runs out too fast trying to complete the orders. I think that ties into how and what the generators make at each level.

All in all it’s a great time killer. Minor changes and you will gain more players and fans!
