However in the past few months, I’ve noticed more and more pop ups trying to get you to buy stuff. It gets annoying when you’re playing and it pops up. You accidentally click on the amount and have to exit quickly before it charges you. ### 3/5 — Too many pop ups *2026-07-09, version 7.8.0* Not ads, well kind of ads, pay to play pop ups come up every single time you open this app. Then, after closing at least 10 pop ups about buying stuff you get into the pop ups for game play. So you spend the first 5mns of playing just closing pop ups. It’s so annoying I’m deleting the game because I’m here to play, not close pop ups! ### 3/5 — Lots of glitches *2026-06-27* On multiple occasions extra challenges just disappear before I’ve been able to complete them. Time did not run out, I completed a level and the challenge just wasn’t there anymore. This makes it difficult to collect all the cards. I’ve also had challenges appear that were already complete and the rewards were collected before I even began playing. Sometimes items from challenges I completed previously appear out of nowhere. I’ve submitted feedback on multiple occasions but nobody has responded and the issues persist. ### 4/5 — Good game but…. *2026-06-01* I love this game but I don’t love that I’ve sent an email and got no reply when I purchased the SVIP pass and did not receive what was promised. I had already purchased early the VIP pass and decided to upgrade because it said I would get like 300 energy and 300 or more o gems plus several points to get more, but all I got was extra chances to to get more things, and with only two days left till it expires there is very little chance I will earn them with out the extra help so to me the money was wasted and since you don’t want to reply to me I will be deleting your game! ### 2/5 — Last update ruined game *2026-05-14, version 7.7.0* Random closing. The ads don’t play life for rewards and the game within The game is not working properly. ### 4/5 — Pop Ups *2026-02-15, version 7.2.0* I enjoy merge games, and the game play in this one. My frustration comes when I first open the game, sitting thru all the pop ups about battle passes and mini games. I understand they are helpful, but when you’ve been playing a while there should be an option to skip as the rules are always the same. Detailing every step takes forever and then I don’t want to play. ### 2/5 — Bug booster de générateur *2026-02-15* Je joue depuis quelques mois ce jeu. Je suis au niveau 114. Mon booster de générateur était au niveau 4. Depuis quelques semaines il est bloqué au niveau 2. J’ai écris un mail pour signaler ce bug et on ne m’a jamais répondue. Ce bug rend le jeu très fastidieux. ### 3/5 — Okay Merge Game *2026-02-12, version 7.2.0* I used to play more often but you can’t boost to 4x anymore even with over 300 lives. Makes it frustrating that you have to merge so many times. ### 2/5 — Update *2026-02-10, version 7.2.0* Took away the multiplier, took away the fun. ### 4/5 — Issue after update *2026-02-05, version 7.2.0* Just like many others, I updated my game and now I can no longer use up to 4x multiplier… ### 2/5 — Was great but…… *2026-02-04, version 7.2.0* Since the new update you can’t change the generator boost to x4 even though I have almost 600 energy ### 2/5 — Wth *2026-02-03, version 7.2.0* This game was fun. I’ve been playing for a while. I’m going to delete it if it’s not back the way it was. It gave you an option to click on 1 to 4 but now it’s only 1 or 2. I want the option of 4 or I’m done. ### 3/5 — My bonuses disappear *2026-02-02, version 7.2.0* My multiplier just disappeared. I went from 4 to 2. Don’t like losing my power ups and bonuses. ### 2/5 — Was great… until the latest February Update *2026-02-02, version 7.2.0* I started playing this game for cash but ended up liking it so I continued to play it. Every single day, I played this game. A couple weeks ago I reached the end and had to wait for an update. No big deal, but this latest update reverted progress by at least half. Things that I worked to get to top levels can now only generate at 2x instead of 4. I feel like I’m wasting my time so now I don’t even want to play anymore. Over to Disney solitaire I guess… ### 2/5 — New update *2026-02-01, version 7.2.0* Now the multiplying option doesn’t work correctly and gives you low graded items. Now I have to wait twice as long to complete orders due to the set back. I’ve been playing this game for quite awhile and my level is 133, it’s maxed out and I’ve been waiting for new updates. This by far has lost my interest, it’s almost like all my game play and time has been a waste since I feel like I’m playing at level 10 again. ### 2/5 — Ballad of Time inside game *2026-01-23, version 7.1.0* The rewards inside ballot of time when you tap on them or not allowing you to collect I have a picture if you’d like me to send a screenshot ### 3/5 — Idk what they’re doing anymore *2026-01-16* I’ve played this game for a very long time and enjoyed it while it was good. Spent money and now it’s just odd. The stories have ended so now I’m just collecting coins despite having a new update with no ability to win more batteries or items buy reaching coin goals. The characters don’t text anymore and give you opportunities to win gems like before. I see some new things they’ve tried but there’s just not enough. I’m not spending anymore money because honestly what’s the point ### 3/5 — County story merge & cooking *2026-01-03, version 6.8.0* I play this game more than any other game I have on my phone and there’s over 30+ games on my phone but I’m so close to deleting it because it’s freezing taking energy diamonds not giving out correct payouts say I have 1d2h left on an event but I can’t enter the event now it’s just stuck on one screen I have exit out and retried several times still not working so I’m about to uninstall it ### 3/5 — フリーズして出来なくなった *2026-01-03, version 6.8.0* 一年位ちょこちょこ毎日していたのにここ4日位前から開いて本日の報酬とか迄は動くが終わったイベの報酬受け取る際にフリーズして全くできなくなっている どーにかしてほしい ### 3/5 — ストーリーが楽しい＆翻訳について *2025-12-29, version 6.8.0* キャラクターやストーリーが面白くて気になって楽しくマージしてましたが、進むにつれどんどん翻訳がひどくなっていきますので注意です。今レベル75ですがまともに訳せてないところが所々出てきて困ってきます。英語になってたり韓国語になったりするとこが出てくるのが多くなってきて話の流れがあまりわからなくなってきます。今もう辞めてしまうかどうか悩みながらプレイしています(*_*) 主人公のセリフの選択肢を選べるという発想は面白いです！マージゲーム自体もとても楽しいしミニゲームのマージも楽しくて好きです。キャラクターのフィオナ大好きです。アイリーナとフィオナの組み合わせとても可愛いです。ニコールも好き！ストーリーの謎も面白くて気になるけどアイリーナの恋愛ストーリーも可愛くて気になります。キャラクターやストーリーやスチルが好きだったのでアプデで見返せる場所が出来た時はとても嬉しかったです。翻訳をもう少し頑張って欲しいと願ってしまいます。 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Instead of getting better over time, it’s gotten worse *2026-07-27, version 7.8.0* I’ve been a loyal player since 2024 and this game has been awful lately. It’s completely pay to play, and the number of glitches in the game are horrendous. I’ve had purchases refunded because I never got what was paid for and customer support no longer replies to emails. Game play is constantly interrupted by pop ups so you can buy items as opposed to being able to get them organically. The actual story is never updated anymore. Definitely do not recommend. ### 1/5 — App no longer has support *2026-05-15, version 7.7.0* Was a great game and when anything broke they responded to emails within 24 hours and immediately fixed the break. App keeps getting screwy and support doesn’t respond. You can’t finish the weekly challenge because it’s missing parts so even if you spend money, you’ve got extra stuff you merged but nothing to use it on to get the final prize set. Their FB account last updated in 2024 and the last time ingame fix messages came was January 2025. Don’t bother downloading. ### 1/5 — AI slop *2026-04-24, version 7.7.0* AI art with exceptionally bizarre facial expressions. Dialogue is borderline nonsensical, the AI can write sentences but is very bad at conversations. It was so weird it was funny for a while, but not too long. ### 1/5 — I’ve played this game since 2024 but now they’re getting greedy. *2026-02-19* It used to be a fun game but now they just keep increasing prices and decreasing what you get. Also the most irritating thing is that you used to be able to play 4x the energy and now they removed the option randomly 2 weeks ago. I like being able to play at my pace and 4x is perfect. I’m level 133 and I’ve had that ability for a long time. I loved this game but they’ve gotten too greedy. I used to put in a decent amount of money and now I can no longer play. I have been trying to get in contact with someone for 2 weeks but nothing. ### 1/5 — What happened to generators *2026-02-05, version 7.2.0* Not sure how to contact anyone associated with the game but would love to know why the generators went down to 2x from 4x. Really deflated my excitement for the game and with no heads up or explanation. ### 1/5 — Stealing money now *2026-01-09, version 6.9.0* I purchased the VIP Pass for the puzzle event and didn’t receive any of the rewards for levels 1-9 on the pass side. Customer service is nonexistent or non-responsive at this point. Refund my money or give me what I purchased. ### 1/5 — the greed 🙃 *2026-01-07, version 6.9.0* they changed the generators now they have 40+ minutes timer to wait to use it again 🙄 not just that, but a few others small inconvenient changes too because of the greed for money, to encourage players to spend and honestly? don’t believe this greedy tactics will get you a single extra penny. will be uninstalling ### 1/5 — 환불해주세요 이게뭔가요? *2025-12-30, version 6.8.0* 4400원으로 에너지를 충전했는데 왜23900원이 결제가 되는거죠? 지금껏 계속 돈을 내고 이용하는 고객으로써 정말 화가나고 황당하네요 장난하나요? 빨리환불해주세요 ### 1/5 — Не работает *2025-12-22, version 6.7.0* Что произошло с игрой? Не могу в нее войти, пишет проблема в интернете, но интернет хорошо работает. В настройках разрешение к сотовым данным есть и версия игры установлена последняя, помогите разобраться 🙏 ### 1/5 — НЕ ЗАЙТИ В игру!!! *2025-12-21, version 6.7.0* Здравствуйте, игра пишет, что интернета нет, но у меня все с ним нормально! Что делать?! Как связаться с тех поддержкой???? Не могу зайти уже вторые сутки, переустановка не помогла!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Bug *2026-01-03, version 6.8.0* Oyun sabahtan beri açılmıyor çözün ### 5/5 — 好好玩 *2025-12-28, version 6.8.0* 好好玩 ### 5/5 — Jogo viciante *2025-11-29* Amo de paixão , vício total ### 5/5 — Любимая игра! *2025-10-17, version 6.2.0* Очень нравится!!! ### 5/5 — 你 *2025-08-09, version 5.8.0* 很好玩 ### 5/5 — Great *2025-07-17, version 5.6.0* Really like this game, quick to build up from the base level you need right up to the high level, takes me ages on some games and it's just so frustrating. Also really good that the recharges are nice and quick. On others you can be left with nothing to do but haven't found that with this one at the moment. Keep up the good work please. ### 5/5 — 💓 *2025-07-05, version 5.6.0* สนุกดีค่ะ เพลินๆ ### 5/5 — I need update!!!!!!!!! *2025-07-01, version 5.5.0* New chapter pls. Im stuck ### 5/5 — Fun *2025-06-30, version 5.5.0* Love this game!!!! ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-04-21, version 5.0.1* I love this game. All the different challenges and weekly things that happen. The dialogue is great too but easily skipped if you’re not interested. I did however finish the dialogue a couple weeks ago and it keeps saying coming soon.
