### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-08-20*

Great game you win more energy than other merge games and extras are cheaper, I’ve deleted the others and just plat this one

### 1/5 — False advertising

*2026-08-20*

Not the game shown in the ad :(

### 1/5 — False advertising

*2026-08-20*

The promotional ad that made me download the app is nothing like the game, it’s actually really random, boring and slow and I lost interest around level 14. The fact that you advertise a game that is nothing like the actual game is deceitful and wasted my time.

### 5/5 — no ads

*2026-08-20*

fun with no ads! except for the occasional pop-up that advertises its own services, which i'm fine with. and that blonde chef dude is hot. satisfying gameplay as well!

### 3/5 — Gutes Spiel

*2026-08-19*

Es ist ein gutes Spiel, was auch Spaß macht. Aber ich finde es schade, dass keine Werbung angeboten wird. Man ist gezwungen lange zu warten bis sich die Energie wieder sammelt oder man bezahlt.

### 5/5 — Grande merci 🤩

*2026-08-19*

C’est très amusant 🤩

### 4/5 — Love it

*2026-08-19*

Fun game, need more ways to win free energy so I can play longer.

### 5/5 — 好玩的合成游戏

*2026-08-19, version 1.46.0*

在中国合成玩游戏的天

### 5/5 — Fun game!

*2026-08-19, version 1.46.0*

It’s very fun and exciting!

### 3/5 — Addictive game it is

*2026-08-19*

Been playing this game all day lately. Best part is that it has no in between app and can be played offline too. But sometimes I have to wait very long for the energy to be full and for the trays to get full. You must reduce the time of it. 
Thanks 
Hoping for a quick solution
