Lazy Meow City: Merge & Cats

Very fun and addicting, and it’s really the only game on my phone that I play. But it’s almost impossible to stay interested in the game since it takes SO LONG to earn more “plays”. I’ve advanced so far into the game that it can take me all day long just to fill one order. Very frustrating.

This game allows you 100 energy max earned from waiting. Which takes 200 minutes. This amount of energy tends to get used within literally a few minutes. To get more gameplay you have to watch ads (which is capped at a few per day), win more energy which is quite rare and typically very little, or pay for more. This results in a very frustrating user experience. This game really punishes you if you want to play for a long time all at once. I’m an adult who can’t play this game for five minutes dozens of times I have to work. So when I do want to come home and play I want to be able to for 30 some minutes and it just really isn’t possible. I enjoy the game but the amount of free playing you can do is so little it feels like the developers do not care about the user. 200 minutes of waiting for five minutes of gameplay is ridiculous and frankly the worst value I have ever seen in a waiting based game. The amount of stored energy you can get needs to be majorly upped to probably about 500, so if you play when you wake up or after work you have an actual amount of gameplay you can do. Asking users to pay so much all the time to do anything is so disrespectful to your user base. I have never had a mobile game try and nickel and dime me as much as this game. Not sure where all of these positive reviews came from. They look like they all were from before this game was officially released and I am assuming didn’t ask users to pay so often.
