## What is Merchant Mike?

► SOLVE PUZZLES AND BUILD YOUR BUSINESS

Join adorably coiffed Merchant Mike and his cute corgi Milo as the pair struggle to make their way in business. Master increasingly difficult matching puzzles to earn coins and gems, then spend them on expanding and upgrading Mike’s business ventures. Start by selling street food in the park, build your own little fun fair, then move on to food truck and gift shop empires in this colorful and entertaining triple-tile match game with added entrepreneurial flare.

► INGENIOUS AND ENTERPRISING

• The perfect match: Master hundreds of levels of unique matching puzzles. Can you keep making triple matches from the pile without blocking your board? It gets harder as the levels progress, and each level consists of three unique stages that you’ll need to complete to get your rewards.

• The perks of doing business: Before each stage, choose from three free perks, which are either boosters to help you match tiles and complete the stage – including extra lives, boomerangs that undo your last move, and dice to shuffle all tiles – or extra gems and coins to add to your rewards at the end of the level. You can also choose the Feeling Lucky perk, which can give you regular rewards, special premium rewards, or even negative rewards – are you ready to make a risky investment?

• See it through to the end: The perks go into your backpack for safe keeping until you need them, or you complete the level. Rewards accumulate over the three stages of each level but watch out: if you lose a stage then all the contents of your backpack are gone!

• Invest in success: Take your rewards from completing levels and spend them to build Mike’s little business empire. Each location in the game has 15 different items to unlock for gems, and each item has three colorful upgrades, one of which is available for gems, the second for coins, and the third for completing special challenge levels. Upgrade all items to at least one-star level to unlock the next delightful location, then follow Mike and Milo to the next chapter in their entrepreneurial adventure.

• Very important player: Buy a VIP pass to get unique additional perks in the game, including the magnifying glass, which lets you see behind the Feeling Lucky perk, so you know what you’re getting yourself into.

### 1/5 — World two is so hard I cannot beat it😡🤬🥵

*2024-03-17, version 1.0.6*

😡🤬🥵

### 3/5 — Good game. Could be better

*2024-02-04, version 1.0.6*

Overall the game itself has good mechanics and is pretty fun. There is a TON of ads if you don’t buy the ad pass and after every ad the game would freeze. My biggest complaint about the game is that I have to purchase an item and then purchase the very basic decor level for that item. The first decor should be free with the gems I’m using to purchase the item initially.

### 3/5 — When

*2023-03-20, version 1.0.6*

When are you opening the buffet section

### 1/5 — Forced ads

*2022-09-25, version 1.0.5*

If you're okay with forced ads have fun with it.

### 1/5 — You can get stuck

*2022-09-19, version 1.0.5*

I was stuck on one puzzle for a long time and there is no passive way to earn coins, once you’re out you’re out. The only way to get coins is to pay and times are tough I can’t afford that

### 1/5 — Had to delete.

*2022-09-17, version 1.0.5*

I can’t handle ads,ads, ads. There is an ad after every single level. I enjoy the game, but zero patience for that. I’m sorry.

### 1/5 — All ads 😫

*2022-08-15, version 1.0.4*

I feel like this game would be a lot more fun if you weren’t constantly interrupted by ads! It feels like every time I click something, another ad plays and it gets old really fast. I understand having ads in a game, but maybe just to get extra bonuses or things like that, not at every turn.

### 4/5 — Good

*2022-08-12*

Nice game and a nice twist on the regular tile matching games but it doesn’t seem to want to let me unlock the third upgrade for each task item in the varying lands, that’s the only thing preventing me giving you 5 stars as it is otherwise perfect
