I don’t really care, still like it. Only I’d really appreciate it if someone tells me how I can take back the use of 3 crafting cauldron slots out of 4 that are available to me, but unusable. They are stuck, items to craft have been put into, but remain inactive. I even deleted the app and reinstalled it, still no use. Somebody, pls? ### 4/5 — Good game, just needs tweaking *2023-02-23* Downloaded this recently and I’m addicted! Who knew merge games could be so much fun? Overall it’s great, but I have a few issues. The most important one is a bug I’ve encountered where I can’t sell things to customers despite having the item crafted and in my inventory. The sell button is there, but pressing it does nothing. I’m not sure what to do to solve this. My other note is that I’d quite like more character customisation options. The character models are lovely to look at, but they’re all so similar. New unlockable fur patterns, outfits, hair, ect. would be awesome =] I’m a fan of your games and am excited to see where this one goes! <3 **Developer response:** Thank you for the amazing review 💖 We’re terribly sorry to hear you’ve run into this issue ❤ It seems like your cash inventory is full, try spending some of that cash on furniture upgrades in your shop and you will soon be able to sell once more! 💰 We hope to add more options soon ⭐ ### 3/5 — Good game, some issues *2023-01-24* I’d love to give this game 5 stars but I’ve only played this game for around half an hour. Alchimerge has an adorable design and aesthetic to it but there is one section that has halted any continuation. Leandra is giving a backpack to the player but once your inventory backpack screen pops up there is absolutely nothing you can do, I hope this issue gets fixed soon. **Developer response:** So happy to hear you are enjoying the game ❤ Oh no, that is an unfortunate bug to run into! Reach out to us and we'll help you resolve this: support@pocappstudios.com 💌 ### 4/5 — Really nice but *2023-01-07* This game is really nice and I love how it looks. Thing is, after a while a glitch happens where I can’t sell items or potions to people. I have the stuff and the sell button is there, but it doesn’t work when I push it. I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling the app, and then rebooting my device but it still doesn’t work. It’s ONLY the sell button. The discount, propose, refuse, chat and surcharge buttons all work and everything else in the game works, it’s just that. **Developer response:** Hey Dawn 👋 Thank you for the lovely review! ⭐ We’re terribly sorry to hear you’ve run into this issue ❤ It seems like your cash inventory is full, try spending some of that cash on furniture upgrades in your shop and you will soon be able to sell once more! 💰 ### 3/5 — Keine Redeem Codes möglich *2022-12-21* Eigentlich gutes Spiel, aber ich kann keine Redeem Codes einlösen auch wenn sie nicht abgelaufen sind. **Developer response:** So happy to hear you enjoy the game 🥳 Perhaps your cash inventory is full, try spending some cash on upgrading your furniture perhaps and you'll be able to sell again 😄 Have a Happy Holidays and keep an eye on your in-game mailbox for more updates 💌 ### 3/5 — With overhauls come bugs *2022-12-02* Was a fun game but since the recent upgrade/overhaul it costs more energy to get less items, there’s more levels of merging to get the assets to a level where you can harvest them, and I’m getting told repeatedly to buy more bookshelves and upgrade them even though I only have 2 items that get stored on bookshelves and one of them I can’t even claim because I don’t have enough storage? **Developer response:** Hey Spidertwist 👋 Thank you so much for this review and feedback ⭐ We're currently working on the game's balance, more updates to this are coming to hang in there! There is a bug with the bookcases, restarting your game is a quick fix for this. A bugfix update solving this is on its way but may be slightly delayed due to Christmas! 🎅 Have a Happy Holiday and stay tuned for updates and information in your Mailbox 💌 ### 4/5 — Great game....just can’t use the gems *2022-11-26, version 1.3.1* LOVE this game, but I have plenty of gems and the game will NOT let me use any in the store. Really frustrating. Everything else is awesome. ### 4/5 — Much better *2022-10-29* This last update fixed my issues. The only thing I wish is that I could watch unlimited ads for energy. **Developer response:** Hello 👋 We're terribly sorry that you are experiencing this ❤ please reach out to us and we'll help you resolve this immidietly! You can find our support email in the title screen or in your settings, you can also join our Discord server and reach out directly to our support Dev Ellinor 💌 Edit: That is a great suggestion, we'll look into it! 📋✍ ### 4/5 — Игра оставляет желать лучшего :< *2022-09-16* Не тоесть она в плане текстур шедевральная и гемплей не плохой. Но есть одно но: Очень мало одежды для редактора профиля (нету не худи или какой-либо другой одежды) ну тоесть очень мало. Баги практически везде, брать тот же пример когда пытаешь спилить деревья и пни. Просто жмёшь по сто раз и не происходит ничего. Ещё бывает когда там предлагается бесплатная энергия из подарка, и когда ты уже выбрал подарок а потом жмёшь на крестик, и ты не можешь выйти оттуда если только не перезайти. Вывод: Игра забагованная мало всего и нужно доработать. Я думаю что разработчики превратят её в наилучшую свою новую игру, ибо там есть отсылки который были к прошлым играм от них. ENG: Мasterpiece in terms of textures and the gameplay is not bad. But there is problem: 1. Very few clothes for the profile editor (no hoodies or any other clothes) well, that is, very few. 2. Bugs are almost everywhere, take the same example when you try to cut down trees and stumps. You just press a hundred times and nothing happens. It also happens when they offer free energy from a gift, and when you have already chosen a gift and then you click on the cross, and you can’t get out of there unless you re-enter. Conclusion: The game is bugged a little and needs to be finalized. I think that the developers will turn it into their best new game, because there are references that were to past games from them. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the great review and feedback! ⭐⭐ 1. The character customization is getting a makeover! Hang in there 😄 2. Many of the bugs you mention should have been fixed in the latest update! As we are making changes to the early game right now some players who've gotten past the tutorial may experience a few more bugs than new players. We're almost done with this which means the bugs should be less! 🥰 ### 3/5 — Good, but has some troubles. *2022-09-16* I really enjoy the game, and I find it fairly easy to progress. However, once I hit the second part of the game that has the nomad tents and sunberries, I found that some of the obstacles would get ‘stuck’, where it wouldn’t allow me to put a worker on it. It’s mostly happened to the orange trees, but it will also happen to the wood shrine obstacles once that area is unlocked. I read on here that joining the game’s Discord server would help people find active in-game alliances, but it would add to the QoL if there were easier ways to find one. Otherwise, I’d give it a look-see. No pressures for IAPs or ads jumping down your throat. It’s a good time! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the amazing review! ⭐ Very strange that you cannot send workers to your trees 🤔 We'd love to help you with that! Reach out to us here if you're still experiencing this struggles: support@pocappstudios.com 💌 Right now Discord is the best option to find an alliance that fits you, however, we have a big update coming to the alliances planned! Hang tight! 😄 ### 2/5 — There’s a glitch with the game(specifically the module option) *2022-09-12, version 1.2.1* Every time I open it, it acts like I still had materials even though I don’t have enough and keeps trying to force me to put down a tile pretty much soft locking me in there until I exit out and restart the game ### 4/5 — Глюки, баги и компания *2022-09-08* Игра интересная, но зверски забагованная. И каждый патч только добавляет баги. Хотя бы дайте построить Уютный домик - на предпоследнем этапе строительства пропадает возможность дальнейшего объединения - игра считает его последним. У меня уже десяток этих гребаных домиков, которые ни объединить нельзя, ни на платформу выставить. **Developer response:** We had a few bad bugs around the time of your review 😔 We're terribly sorry about this and did send out some gems and VIP mice to compensate for this to all players! 🐭 In the latest update, we added some explanation for this 🥳 All house components collected after you've finished a mansion can be added to the mansion in order to level it up! Hope this information helped ❤ ### 2/5 — Killer bug *2022-09-08, version 1.2* It was cute. I got to level 6, until I found a game killing bug. Every time I log off & log back on it subtracts like 10-20 energy. I got on when my energy was capped at 84/84. I did some things to get rid of energy & when I looked up it was at -10/84. I was confused and switched to my shop to sell stuff, came back to the island & it was around -25/84. So at this point I’m thinking it’s a visual glitch, so I restart the game. Get back on at it’s at around -50/84. I got back off & left the game for like 10minutes, got back on & now it’s at -100/84. It needs to be fixed lol ### 4/5 — Fun *2022-08-19, version 1.1.5* This is a simple but fun game that has kept my interest longer than I thought it would. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Refund me ! *2025-12-26* I bought Islands twice for €9,99. I was charged but I never received the island unlock. I emailed costumer support and no one replied. Don’t download this game - it’s a scam !!! ### 1/5 — Scam/Glitch *2025-01-28* Bought the starter island + material pack and got charged on my card but i didnt get the island or the materials ### 1/5 — Terrible game. *2024-06-27, version 1.7.4* Just ✨T E R R I B L E✨ ### 1/5 — The chat is broken *2023-11-27, version 1.7.4* There is no chat button, but there was before. I think it’s been like this for a month or two now. I don’t know why, just please fix it. ### 1/5 — iPad froze *2023-08-05, version 1.7.3* The game made my iPad freeze for a solid 5 minutes before my iPad would respond to anything. ### 1/5 — Stopped working after last update *2023-03-29* It’s no longer working… something went wrong (21) Tried restarting. Just keep getting the same error message ### 1/5 — They took away the energy boxes! *2023-01-17* I really enjoyed getting to choose the box of extra energy, and have built up quite a bit so I can play longer if I feel like it. Guess what the update took away? Yes, no more free energy if you are full up already. Since it will be taking forever to make the house for the next section even with good amounts of energy that used to be available, I am not sure how much longer I will be playing. I am not a big fan of being pressured to spend real money on a game this simple. **Developer response:** Hey Csasa 👋 We're terribly sorry to hear you feel this way ❤ You cannot stack free energy anymore unfortunately but you can stack energy if you purchase it with gold ⭐ Please let us know what we can do to make your experience in AlchiMerge better! 💬 You can reach us directly here: support@pocappstudios.com ### 1/5 — Does not load. *2022-08-17, version 1.1.5* Never gets past authorizing, with the number 14 in the top right. ### 1/5 — Full of bugs, crashes, eats battery life and glitches *2022-06-23* This game is too full of glitches, bugs, crashes, eating of battery life, poor explanation on how to use one part of the game and restarts. No option to report the issues. Tried the way developers want it done. No way to write up any of the issues. (Only get message: Done reading this, check out other channels). ( tech savvy people could most likely do it the way developers intended, but those who struggle from disabilities will become frustrated and upset.) **Developer response:** Hi there! 👋 We're so sorry you experienced troubles with the game!

Also the tutorial for daily chest menus keeps showing up over and over. Overall don’t play it until they fix it. **Developer response:** Hello 👋 We’re terribly sorry to hear you’ve run into this issue ❤ It seems like your cash inventory is full, try spending some of that cash on furniture upgrades in your shop and you will soon be able to sell once more! 💰 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game! *2026-08-30* I’ve been playing your other game, Castle Cats, since middle school, my biggest issue with that game recently has been the ads. This game doesn’t have that issue at all! The ads seem to be 100% optional, which is what i’d love to see in castle cats. I had to completely stop playing the other game due to how constant the unwanted ads were, I’d love to see more games like this instead. I love how the shop energy is able to be upgraded, if I had any criticism it would be to make the merge energy the same, where you can upgrade the total amount. Castle Cats could use the advertisement approach this game offers, where they’re only available to speed things up or provide a boost in materials. ### 5/5 — Fun Idle Merge Game *2024-12-01* I’ve had Alchimerge for about a week now and I’m enjoying it so far. I like having a store to run and crafting different items for customers. Sometimes I run out of energy fairly quickly, but it’s a bit necessary for me otherwise I’d end up playing this game all day and I need a hard limit lol. I tend to get bored of merge games fairly quickly because it starts to take too long to advance after a certain point, but having the store to run on the side while merging items helps it not feel so boring. The style is cute and I like having a character to customize (and the store too) as well! Great time waster game to check in on here and there throughout the day. One bug I would like to point out however, is the item and crafting menus at times refuse to open. I will tap the menu open, and it’ll immediately close over and over again. It’s very minor and goes away after restarting the app, but it happens often enough it’s worth mentioning. ### 5/5 — Different, but fun. *2023-03-05* I wasn’t expecting much at first. But as I kept merging, selling, expanding. I am quite fond of this game! Definitely one I will either keep long term or forever more. **Developer response:** Thanks for the amazing review! 🌸 We hope you can have a lovely time in AlchiMerge! ### 5/5 — Great game! Great support! *2022-10-25* So, my game bugged out a little bit because of a past data issue I believe. And the team was so nice when helping me sort it out! I would 100% recommend this game and I support the developers and such so much! The gameplay is cute and interesting, so 10/10 would recommend **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the lovely review ❤ Have an amazing time on the Vortex Isles! 🌸 ### 5/5 — FURRIES *2022-09-18, version 1.2.2* I joined the game and immediately it let me choose a race so I can technically become a furry!!! I love the way the game plays out it’s very smooth, but I'm hooked on the furry thing. ### 5/5 — Amazing new update *2022-09-07, version 1.2* I’ve enjoyed this game but it’s had some flaws. Well those flaws were all eradicated with this new update. Amazing game. ### 5/5 — Super fun game *2022-08-17, version 1.1.5* I love this game so much I think it has a ton of potential please add more customization options and other stuff please!! 💖💖💖 ### 5/5 — Pretty great game *2022-07-27* I’m always uneasy when downloading games that don’t have many reviews, however I do not regret downloading this one. There is plenty of resources to be entertained for a while. I love the multiple mechanics of the game. Also it’s great to have a free game that doesn’t bombard you with ads constantly. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the awesome review! Have a great time in AlchiMerge 🍑🎉 ### 5/5 — Fun game *2022-07-12* I’ve played quite a few merge games and I really like this one it isn’t just endless merging it has a story and a shop which is very cool and fun. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the lovely review! 😍💖 ### 5/5 — ITS SO GOOD *2022-07-10, version 1.1.3* I love this game, honestly- I really wish I could give a higher star rating! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
