I have ADHD and love games that are colorful, stimulating and are constantly working towards a goal. This game is everything I’ve ever wanted in a merge game!! And let me tell you, I’ve tried them all. The animations are crisp, the graphics are vibrant and it is constantly be updating once or twice monthly to keep it fun and fresh. They also host fun seasonal events! I feel like this game is one of the greatest because you can play this everyday without getting bored or NEEDING to pay to play to have fun. I have never spent a single penny on this game and have the best time logging in every day for my rewards and free energy chests! I have chosen to put 4/5 stars because the only issue I consistently run into, is that I am always desperate g waiting for a new chapter to be released. They release maybe 1 chapter of the story per month. While waiting for a new chapter, I still play the game and fulfill orders. This means that I will easily rack up $30k in game coin and once they do FINALLY release a chapter, I’m done with it in 10 minutes because the game keeps routing me back to the Home Screen to keep completing the chapter until it’s finished. It’s an endless loop. Overall, my favorite merge game ever, but like everything it isn’t perfect. But maybe the developers did not consider the fact that they would have obsessive neurodivergent people playing everyday. Or else maybe they’d be releasing a new chapter every week lol.

I absolutely love playing this game but I liked it better when we could watch videos to get free energy. And when 11 am comes around and everything resets I noticed a few days ago when you could get 25 energies to watch a video when the time reset it was gone. I feel like this game just wants you to spend money. I refuse to keep spending money on this game. I'm not going to play it anymore because it takes to long to finish a order if you run out of energy and have to wait for it to replenish or buy energy not everyone can afford to keep putting money in this game. Y'all gotta do better!!!

I genuinely love this game. This may be my favorite out of all the merge games that I download (and inevitably delete). I love that I haven’t gotten bored of it. I do have a couple of complaints:- the in app purchases don’t go too far. I feel as though the amount of money that I spend in the app does not match what I get out of the game play. - most importantly, I get so many coins and participate (and complete) so many of the side quests/mini games and then quickly run out of tasks. There was an update recently with more tasks and I spaced them out over about a week. Once I got to 21 more tasks left, i completed one and then the other 20 disappeared! I was disappointed because I like completing the tasks and they give you gifts to keep playing the game. I can at least understand if I had finished a stage in the game but the room that I’m currently working on isn’t even finished. It’s a bit frustrating to have to wait months and months for more updates, especially when it will only allow me to compete a number of tasks when I have enough coins for way more. Admittedly, I do play the game for the merge (mostly, about 75%) but fun kind of bored of having to wait for updates and not even being able to compete a room/stage. I hope this changes soon.

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words and thoughtful feedback! We're truly honored to be your favorite merge game, and nothing makes us happier than hearing you haven't gotten bored playing.Regarding the tasks that disappeared - this can sometimes happen when an event (like a Culinary Peak) ends or refreshes, which may automatically clear its associated tasks. We understand how frustrating it is to lose progress, especially when you enjoy completing them. Could you email us at gossipstreet@linkdesks.com with more details (like which specific tasks vanished and when)? We'd love to investigate personally.We also truly appreciate your honesty about the in-app purchases and content pacing. Our team is constantly working on improving value and delivering more substantial updates more frequently. We've noted your suggestions and will share them directly with the development team.Your passion for the game is truly inspiring, and we sincerely hope to win back your full satisfaction with our future improvements.

Disappointed with recent changes…

This has been one of my favorite mobile games for a while. I’m level 120-something, Chapter 23 or 24, and I’ve never had an issue supporting the devs with small purchases here and there (as recently as today even, before I saw the change that inspired this). The art is great, the stories are fun, and overall it is/was super enjoyable. But lately some changes made to the game have made it so much less “friendly” to the point where I am losing interest in a game I’ve put so much time in. The two biggest red flags were the changes made to the daily missions section, which make it significantly harder to achieve, and the “star shop” getting INSANELY devalued, and removing energy from the packages. Really, really disappointing from a team that HAD created such a user friendly game and made it so hostile. I certainly won’t be purchasing anything moving forward unless they go back to their old ways, and I regret financially supporting this team in the past.

Hi there, thank you for being such a dedicated player and for supporting us along the way — it truly means a lot. I'm sorry the recent changes have made the game feel less friendly. Regarding the star shop, the rework came alongside the addition of a joker card that can be exchanged for any star-level card and new card packs for each star level, so the exchange requirements were adjusted accordingly. We've noted your feedback on the daily missions and packages as well, and it's been shared with our dev team.
