### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-03-15, version 0.10.31*

Amazing

### 1/5 — Barely Works

*2025-01-29*

Good game, I would enjoy it but the idle time does not work. I bought +5 hours for diamonds I earned, so I should get 9 hours of idle income. Yet when I get on I only get barely an hour of income. For context, 6 hours of income for me is 200 trillion, yet when I was idle for over 4 hours and get on, I only received 9 trillion. Obviously that is wrong. The ads also barely work, the gifts that spawn give you three options, but even when I want the second option, it does not work. It automatically gives you the first option no matter which button you press. If they fix these problems then it may turn out to be a great game!

### 4/5 — Voluntary Ads Do Not Work

*2024-09-16*

I enjoy this idler, but the ads do not allow me to claim the reward or end the ad to return to the app - leveling up, I’m forced to pay gems. Daily gem vault collection, cannot claim gems or complete ad. I’m using an iPad Pro. It’s frustrating to want to extend boosts, level up, claim gems from the Gem Vault, but they all have the same behavior. I have to close the app out and then reopen it - with no benefit/reward of watching the ad.

### 3/5 — Its fun but be weary

*2024-09-10*

So i started out loving this game, i still do but there are a few problems with it, so there are options to watch ads for bigger bonuses or little presents right? Well when you buy the no ads option (supposed to auto give you the boost when you click watch ads) it stopped giving the present boxes all together, and stopped offering the big rewards for boost, so it almost feels like i Didnt pay to remove the ads to get the boost like i did, it feels more like i just payed to get the high boost stuff away completely :/ which hurts your game more than helps, the second problem i found was when it came to the diamond vault, you’re supposed to get one diamond added to the vault for every 25 merges, well i noticed i was doing a-lot of merging and my diamonds weren't going up much, so i waited till i got my next diamond then started counting how many merges it would take, it takes 50 merges not 25, so your doing twice the work than what’s advertised. All together tho, fun game but definitely could use some improvements, which i hope it will get but im kind of doubting it will since people have been complaining for 4yrs

### 1/5 — Upgrade bubble useless

*2024-08-30, version 0.10.31*

Upgrade bubble doesn’t go away when you see the available upgrades. I want to play how I want and having a bubble constantly there when I choose not to have a certain upgrade means I have to keep checking to see if ones I actually want are available. Also the icon makes it seem like there is more to the game than just a merge game - there isn’t. It’s just merging blocks to make completely random blocks. Not good, honestly.

### 5/5 — Xavian

### 5/5 — Love it

*2022-12-27*

I love this game so much! :) :) :) :).

I rate it a five because it’s kind of Roblox

### 5/5 — I love this game

*2022-04-12, version 0.10.31*

I have played loads of merge games before, but for some reason, Mergecraft never got boring like the others. I have played this game for probably about a year now and it is genuinely one of my favourite games of all time. I completed the game this morning and part of me feels proud and accomplished but a part of me feels sad that my journey with this game has come to an end, I’ve fully prestiged all of the realms and today I unlocked the 124th block Amber. I have showed this game to my sister and my girlfriend and they both love it as well. Hopefully the game gets more blocks added in the future so I can continue playing and the game can continue to grow. Thank you so much.

### 5/5 — This is a magical remedy

*2021-08-10, version 0.10.3*

incredible game i play it every day. cured my covid.

### 4/5 — Great game but..

*2021-02-01, version 0.10.2*

Its a great game, although my only issue with it is at times the app would crash and delete some progress. Plz fix :D
