I’ve never had this issue before where the chests do not give the corresponding materials for the building I’m currently working on. Hope they fix this, as there isn’t even an email or website I can contact. 有点烦 ### 5/5 — This game is very very worth a try so far. *2024-03-10, version 3.4.1* I just recently downloaded this game about 3 days ago so I am giving a short review for now. I will update again in a month or two. From the start this game is not at all like merge games I have tried thus far and I have played a lot and deleted a lot because they all want u to pay for something almost immediately. Most of the time it the start off of ads. This does not seem to have that. Where there is ads all the time every few minutes. The only ads I see are the ones that I choose to want to watch for something that is worth it to get a bit farther in the game. I don’t see the annoyance of needing to buy something to get father in the game. So far this is a game I can give 5 stars to and actually say I really do love thus far. Like I said I will be back in a month or two to give u the real low down on it. So far so great! ### 3/5 — Pretty good game! *2024-02-23, version 3.3.3* It’s a good game it just makes me feel like I’m playing a rip off Ever merge because a lot of things are similar but nonetheless it is still a great app!!💕 ### 5/5 — Super dieci lode *2024-01-12, version 3.3.2* Super fantastico e lo consiglio vivamente agli altri utenti anche per lingua italiana ### 5/5 — Perfect 👌🏻 *2024-01-03, version 3.3.2* It’s so fun and friendshipy ### 5/5 — Merge aminals *2023-10-11, version 3.2.8* very fun puzzle match game ### 3/5 — Keep loosing my progress *2023-09-16, version 3.2.8* I love this game but sadly there have been multiple times when I have lost the progress I have made. This hasn’t just happened once but 3 times now. It’s really frustrating as I can spend an hour on the game in the afternoon and by evening it’s all gone back. I unlock animals and land then they are locked again. I don’t want to delete it as I love the graphics and game play but I’m now getting annoyed as I’m just wasting my time. Please help ### 5/5 — Love this game! *2023-06-25, version 3.2.8* The only issue I have with this game is that there hasn’t been any new space added to the main game in some time. I have an unreasonable amount of magic balls (to open new space) and I can’t get rid of them either. ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2023-06-09, version 3.2.8* It’s the best game I have ever played on the iPad I love it!!!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Love it *2023-02-03, version 3.1.2* This game is awesome 👏 ### 5/5 — Love this game *2022-11-16, version 3.0.1* One of my favorites merge games. One question! Will there be new lands added? I’ve completed the game and hoping there will be more. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — RIGGED *2024-05-27, version 3.4.2* This game is beyond rigged; it’s carnival rigged, Vegas as in the “house always wins” rigs which is really sad when it comes to game play! I play games for fun, stress reduction and simple challenges when appropriate but not to have my intelligence insulted. I have approached this game’s events from every angle, including being foolish enough to spend money (NEVER AGAIN) and yet it is impossible to successfully complete an event. At some point I will simply delete the game and move on. ### 1/5 — Insecure Developer? *2024-04-09* While this game is mildly entertaining, it only goes so far especially when it appears the developer is so insecure they refuse to allow the players a win under any circumstances! And actually we not even talking about a win here; there is no possibility of completing an event because the game is rigged! Read some psychology!!! Positive reinforcement is a REAL THING!!! Let players achieve their goals and they will come back! When it’s so obviously rigged it becomes a “why bother” scenario. There are many more fun and rewarding games to plays that don’t make me feel like a chump! After all I’m doing this for a challenging little brain break from my work day and I want it to be FUN. ### 1/5 — Ads *2023-12-19, version 3.3.1* WAY too many ads that take WAY too long. I am deleting. Was spending more time watching ads then playing. ### 1/5 — Lack of creativity? *2023-07-25* Overall I love playing this game, it’s the events that irk me! I wonder if the designers lack creativity which does not seem to be the case as there are three separate events already, yet no matter what you cannot even come close to winning. Do they think we will lose interest if we win? Are they unable to create new events? I even spent money on an event just to see if that would tip the scales in my favor; the game actually stopped , timed me out-so I could not win. The house is rigged which is just a lack of creativity all around boo boo boo! ### 1/5 — RIPOFF *2023-07-14* This game has been a favorite of mine for so long and honestly I do enjoy this app BUT what I do not understand is if the game itself is flawed or the designer is just GREEDY AND RUDE? I finally got so tired of NEVER being able to complete an event, not once, not EVER, that I broke down and spent money. I spent $15 which would have ensured me completing the event but NO because the IT STOPPED! It stalled out, it’s stuck and will not open so the time will run out so they JUST TOOK MY MONEY AND ARE GIVING ME NOTHING IN RETURN! Well that will not work for me! I am disputing the charge with Apple and Capital One. It’s not about winning but it is about fair play and this is NOT FAIR PLAY ITS A RIP OFF AND ITS DISGUSTING! ### 1/5 — I made a purchase a few minutes ago and it didn’t give them to me *2023-07-11, version 3.2.8* Why didn’t I get the purchase today around 5 minutes ago and I didn’t get it but I paid for it, was 9.99 plus taxes and the total was 10.46 please help me with this please or give me a refund! Thank you Jeanne Geiling ### 1/5 — App not working *2023-06-15, version 3.2.8* My game isn’t working ### 1/5 — Merge animals *2023-04-13, version 3.1.2* Unhappy. Can’t get support. It’s in Chinese. Haven’t been able to play for about 3 weeks. Either it comes up with the screen that has the blue bar showing and goes no further or it comes up with the level (31) I’m playing, but it is frozen. Nothing moves and nothing works. I love all my Unity games. Play them daily. Still able to play the old version of Merge Animals, but I liked the new one also. Is there anyone out there that can help? Thank you ### 1/5 — Tech *2022-06-15, version 2.9.6* Wish there was a way to reset the game. ### 1/5 — Scooby *2022-04-19, version 2.9.6* Definitely a game for 3 yr olds ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — how did you make the witch *2025-10-07, version 3.4.2* she looks cool ### 5/5 — Animal time *2025-09-24, version 3.4.2* Fun and 🦃🦃🐁🐀🐇🦌🦩🦡🐕🕊️🐿️🐶🐧animals ### 5/5 — Splendid *2025-08-14, version 3.4.2* It is so good it doesn’t have adverts and your saving animals ### 5/5 — Need a refund!! *2025-05-16, version 3.4.2* I bought some bundles yesterday and advances 4 levels. Today I logged in and all the progress was gone along with the bundles I bought. I cant get ahold of customer support to report it. Please be careful with this game. This was going to be a five star review until that happened. Almost 50.00 dollars gone. ### 5/5 — Fast perfekt! *2025-03-03, version 3.4.2* Gleich vorab: Ich schaue beim arbeiten & putzen gerne Werbevideos um Extra-Items in Spielen zu bekommen. Auch hier funktioniert das super! Im Vergleich zu anderen, ähnlichen Spielen in diesem Format, ist das hier definitiv mein Favorit! Es gibt eigentlich immer etwas zu tun und dauert auch definitiv länger um es durchzuspielen. Es ist außerdem ziemlich F2P freundlich mit der zusätzlichen Möglichkeit Energie, Nahrung & andere diverse Ingame-Items durch Werbung zu erhalten. Die Nahrung wird benötigt, um Ingame-Währung und „Powerbälle“ zu erhalten. Die Ingame-Währung kann man anschließend wieder in alles mögliche umwandeln. Die Merge-Reihen sind auch nicht zu lang, sodass alles ziemlich übersichtlich gestaltet ist, was ich persönlich super finde! Außerdem gibt es keine nervigen Tiere, die dir andauernd hinterherrennen und dich nerven, was in MergeMidas oder anderen ähnlichen Spielen oft leider der Fall ist… ### 5/5 — Christmas game that started Dec 18 *2024-12-19, version 3.4.2* The game doesn’t work. I have collected so many candy canes and the app gets stuck ### 5/5 — Coal? *2024-09-27, version 3.4.2* What happens once you complete the main island? ### 5/5 — Merge Animal’s *2024-07-09, version 3.4.2* I love the game very much ### 5/5 — Love *2024-05-23, version 3.4.2* Love this game! Im addicted. Ps if this game ever becomes a crypto game I’d totally support! It would be amazing ### 5/5 — Charming & cozy *2024-03-20, version 3.4.1* I am so obsessed with this app My job has been really tiring lately and this game is so relaxing. The artwork is beautiful and the ads are not overbearing. If someone is reading this, I would love another treasure island 🏴‍☠️😋 Also when can I expect another mini game? I don’t usually review things but I came to see if y’all have more apps --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
