Decent Concept but just an Ad Mine
A lot of things work well - it’s a straightforward merge game that avoids some of the annoying tendencies of similar games in a way that puts it head and shoulders above them. Doesn’t get caught up with annoying “story” nonsense or pointless mini games. Smooth performance with level breaks that do a good job of appropriately punctuating the monotony. The kind of game you could happily play forever.
Where it fails, as with so many of Popcore’s games, is ad frequency. I respect the need for devs to put ads in games so they can develop and maintain their content, I do, but the ad breaks are so frequent that you spend more time watching the screen than you do playing the actual game. Even with the ad-free purchase (attractively priced, don’t get me wrong) they expend so much effort trying to force you into the “optional” ads with pop-up pages and timed tile-blockers that the frustration soon overwhelms the enjoyment.
Given the current state of mobile gaming, it’s not exactly surprising that this game ends up too annoying to be worth it, I guess I just wish the developers had more professional pride in their product.Show lessNPointer
Annoying in game pop ups
Constantly having to click out of pop up ads for using in game currency to buy bonuses is really tedious and frustrating as well as having to constantly avoid tapping the crate that you have to watch and ad to get, it is always there and if you tap it an ad pops up, no confirmation screen even. As well as the “bonus” items that pop up when you level items up that cost in game currency.
Also it just ends? Every word is the exact same so you’re doing the exact same thing every time you work through the world levels, so I see no reason why it should just stop at 7. And why 7?Show lessSilvos77
Fun!
This game scratches an itch in my brain I didn’t know I had. It’s well worth the one-time fee to get rid of ads, and it has frequent events to keep things interesting. Just one note: I think there is a bug in the events that makes it so only the event-specific items spawn from the red button, which means you have to watch a ton of ads to open enough special purple boxes to give materials to all the NPCs asking for them. I hope that can get fixed soon! Thanks for the fun game!Show lessSabanist
