It’s a bit confusing to understand which image to tap on for particular products. ### 4/5 — Ok but *2026-06-15, version 2.1* When will the clubs become active? ### 4/5 — Recent bugs *2026-05-07, version 2.0* I love this game but the latest update (May 2026) has messed up something with the ad reward system. If I watch an ad for energy, or to get double prizes it does not give me the reward any more. ### 1/5 — Buggy *2026-03-30, version 1.11* Ever since I updated the game it hasn’t let me play. It constantly says I need to connect to the internet when I clearly have connection. ### 2/5 — Issue getting connected *2026-03-30, version 1.11* Ever since you did the update I can’t even get on the game. It keeps saying there is no internet connection ### 1/5 — Lots of glitches *2026-03-29, version 1.11* I was prompted to update the game. Once i did i am unable to play as it keeps saying i need to connect to the internet. I am connected as i am able to play other games. Of course this game had a promotion to get more points . Now i cannot as i am unable to play the game. Pretty discouraging after playing for days. ### 2/5 — Glitched after update! *2026-03-29, version 1.11* I was having fun playing and had put money into it and there was an update and now the game says I’m not connected to the internet. Which is funny since every other game and app I have is connected. So I guess I lose all the progress and money I put in!!! ### 2/5 — Barely can play *2026-03-26, version 1.10* The items run out so quick that makes the game not worth playing I couldn’t even get into it good enough before it put the timer on which is too long might I add smh gave it a chance but i have to delete ### 1/5 — Ads don’t work and you lose the reward *2026-03-25, version 1.10* Rookie mistakes ### 4/5 — Level 100 is max *2026-03-22, version 1.10* I can’t complete level 100 due to there is no level upper than 100 ### 1/5 — You guys stole the money I earned in the game *2026-03-05, version 1.9* I went to buy a dish before the timer ran out you all took the money but didn’t give me my fish ### 1/5 — Sucks *2026-03-03, version 1.9* This game sucks unless you like watching ads ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — do not waste your time *2026-06-01, version 2.1* this is the worst game i have ever played in my entire life. absolutely no point to it and no reward factor whatsoever. anyone who plays this and feels relaxed must have actual issues because i seriously do not know how you can play a game of this fashion and not get either angry or just down right depressed. ### 1/5 — Can’t not recommend enough *2026-05-30, version 2.1* Forced ads makes the game extremely unappealing. There are plenty of games where the devs aren’t that greedy so it’s much more worth to play which is a shame since the theme of the game is good but still not worth the hassle ### 1/5 — Игра не открывается *2026-05-19* Совсем не открывается **Developer response:** To help us investigate the issue you are experiencing, please contact our Support team via the game Settings menu or via support@originalgames.io. We will work on finding a solution for you! ### 1/5 — Scam & false ads for in-game cash…Continuously updated… read below *2026-05-19, version 2.0* 05/18 - developers don’t respond. Don’t give them your free data, make them pay for you for it. Devs are blissfully unaware of merge game competition. Also, I’m bored. Two of the same item for the same order is boring. Spawners produce 3-4 items before timing out for recharge even after not playing overnight. Events are useless. They drain your regular energy; plenty of other apps that have event energy to play. This is a rookie mistake. They still haven’t updated the “watch an ad to skip wait time”. If I watch an ad to skip the time it should skip ALL time for the spawner, not 30 seconds + 27 more ads to recharge the spawner. You’re punished for not putting money in but when you DO put money in, devs restrict you from spending IN-GAME CASH THAT YOU PURCHASED VIA APP STORE. In-game cash allows you to purchase moves/energy when “ads run out”. Devs set it up that at a certain point, you cannot spend in-game cash anymore and the ONLY option to play on is to spend real cash for moves. Ads don’t run out it’s another funnel to spend money. Just close the app, wait a couple hours and go back. 05/12 - 1 review visible and it’s 1 star…RED FLAG. This review was originally visible and now it’s gone. I screenshot my reviews before :D hide my reviews all you want. I’ve got your back, boo. Update 05/02 - already received my refund from Apple. SO DEVELOPERS ARE WRONG TO HAVE PLAYERS FORCED TO SPEND MONEY. I reported your game as fraud because you claim to be able to purchase in-game cash, I purchased a $5 bundle with moves AND IN-GAME CASH … which I did to obtain a $40 FreeCash reward… and then I was restricted from using the in-game cash I PAID FOR. You were reported and I was refunded. Update 05/01 - already reported to Apple. I’ve reached level 40. Now there is NO OPTION to use the in-game cash to purchase moves OR to watch a voluntary ad. I AM BEING FORCED TO PUT REAL MONEY IN TO PLAY. Reviews are fake. ### 1/5 — Apple refunded my purchase - not even worth it for FreeCash Rewards. Y’all Fd around and LOST *2026-05-03, version 1.12* 1 review visible and it’s 1 star…RED FLAG. This review was originally visible and now it’s gone.

Entirely unoriginal, not even worth doing it on an offerwall. Save yourself the brain damage. ### 1/5 — wish u people wud realize that there is a possibility that theyre collecting ur user data to sell it *2026-04-17, version 1.12* I’m not even on the app for 3min before it gets closed because I have to wait for spawners to recharge. You’d keep me on the app much longer if spawners didn’t longer than move regen. Rookie mistakes that will not get you money, your app gets deleted :) The spawners have to recharge 54 times to complete ONE order. $60 to speed up the waiting time on the spawner is ridiculous. If I watch the ad, speed the timer up, I shouldn’t have to STILL pay after watching an ad. ### 1/5 — Worst merge game ever *2026-04-14, version 1.12* It takes forever to do anything because every utensil you click about 6 times and it’s time to wait for the timer to refresh the item you watch the ads to skip the waiting but yeah it only removed 1/10 of the times so it’s shockingly bad ### 1/5 — More waiting than playing *2026-04-05, version 1.11* I can’t even watch ads to skip the load time of parts. Watched 4 ads to get it for free and yet both goes at it, it never even touched on the cooldown timer. Enjoy your pocket change from my 4 ads. ### 1/5 — Honestly? boring *2026-04-05, version 1.11* I’m not even on the app for 3min before it gets closed because I have to wait for spawners to recharge.

Highly recommend for an after work/school game to turn your brain off. ### 5/5 — Very fun and relaxing *2026-03-22, version 1.10* I like this game as it’s very chill and relaxing though I feel like I could try and make the coins worth a bit more because there’s nothing much you can buy with them. ### 5/5 — Love this game! *2026-03-21, version 1.10* Such a good game for distracting the mind for a little laid back fun! ### 5/5 — Big blue *2026-03-14, version 1.9* Not bad game to pass the time ### 5/5 — 😊 *2026-03-09, version 1.9* Really enjoyed the game a lot of fun!! ### 5/5 — very great *2026-02-07, version 1.7* When anxiety is bad i play this and it helps very much ! ### 5/5 — Great *2025-09-27* Great game! I really like it ### 4/5 — Ordinary merge game *2026-08-24, version 2.4* I haven’t had to watch any ads like the other reviews are saying. The only time is if I choose to get more energy. One ad gets you 25 energy. And you can watch another ad once a day to get another energy capsule. Doesn’t really matter though. By the time you get extra energy, the generators (item spawners) have a wait time and needs to recharge which is the most annoying part about any merge game I’ve played. Not really any end goal. There isn’t a side game you are aiming to complete once you complete levels. You are literally only merging. You can earn cash rarely and coins often. There is absolutely 0 points to all the coins you earn. There is essentially nothing in the item store you can spend them on. You need the cash for that which is hard to accumulate. All and all, it’s definitely not in my top merge games but it’s alright. Update the store so you can use those worthless coins because I have thousands --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
