Limits, credits, locked features3%

5 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ You get 100 tokens at a time… so I can't even clear one thing out….
★★★★★ And the price keeps increasing, the items take more and more energy to produce, so the more you play the more you need to pay to play.
★★★★★ And of course they lie and say I received my purchases when I definitely sent all of the screenshots that it was taken and I didn't get my credit

  • Can't spend no more… wish they could make it user friendly 1★, Oct 11, 2026
  • Love the game, on level 286 however, its so hard to level up after a while, and the energy is so expensive, i wish one of the rewards in the picture book or something like that was infinite energy for 15-30 minutes or… 4★, Sep 17, 2026
  • I wish we csn watch ads for more moves to do. 5★, Sep 7, 2026
  • I wish I could enjoy this game more because I really would like to but, each level is not only too long but too repetitious and you don't feel like you are ever going to get to the next level. 4★, Aug 10, 2026
  • The game is entertaining but when you need an item the merger gives what you don't need and takes hours or days to get that one item. 3★, Jul 26, 2026
  • The main item generators are producing way too many different objects so when you need a specific one, you've used up all your energy plus any extra you've won or paid for and still are no where close to having created… 4★, Jul 26, 2026
  • I wish they were a little more generous with the in game energy and other tokens instead of pushing towards in game purchases. 5★, Jul 25, 2026

Fun Game

I am really enjoying this game! It’s very cute!

★★★★★Oct 19, 2026
Not as advertised

I downloaded the game based on an add, and the game was not what was advertised. Very frustrating

★★★★★Oct 19, 2026
You ruined a great game

I’ve played this game since it opened. I finally deleted it because the game got overrun with AI slop. The stories stopped making sense, the photo albums became random nonsense, the events became repetitive and intrusive. The ads for the game turned into the same lies that every mobile app that doesn’t trust their gameplay uses and the purchase options got equally intrusive. This game that used to have a heart turned into just another unplayable empty app. It used to be the best merge game on the market. I was heartbroken honestly; I deeply cared about this game and its story and characters. I used to play it multiple times every day; it was my go-to in the morning and before bed and whenever I had free time. But this game is just not what it used to be when it opened. I wish you guys would do better. I know you have the capacity. This is just sad

★★★★★Oct 18, 2026
False Advertising + Too Costly

Update: False Advertising * I love this game. It’s my favorite merge game and I’ve tried a dozen or so. The graphics are not too jarring; it updates frequently with new events and is very satisfying. * However, to really have fun you have to spend a ton of money. It’s insane. I was spending $40 a day for a time. I had to stop playing to prevent financial ruin. * Update: They advertise that if you download the game you’ll get $100 in in-app purchases. They shouldn’t get away with false advertising.
