Scam!!!!! ### 3/5 — Bug *2026-03-28, version 19.0* App not opening ### 3/5 — Too many ads *2025-08-08, version 17.0* Enjoy the game but having an ad after every match/merge is extreme. For this reason I will be deleting this game ### 2/5 — Merge cake *2025-03-25, version 15.0* Way to many ads. 3 ads in first 2 min of playing ### 4/5 — Can’t move pass level 23 *2025-03-14, version 15.0* I love this game. Unfortunately I’m not able to move pass level 23 due to the item I need, I have no information on it. ### 2/5 — Bugs *2025-03-09, version 15.0* I can’t collect my gems. Please fix. ### 3/5 — 強制広告が多すぎてストレス *2025-03-04, version 15.0* ゲーム自体はそれなりにスムーズで楽しいですが、他のマージゲームにはない強制広告が頻繁に流れてきて正直ストレスです。プレイの流れを遮られるので集中して楽しめません。 ### 4/5 — Adorable! Calming yet addictive too. *2025-02-26, version 15.0* I’d easily suggest this for young kids to the elderly. ### 1/5 — 広告数がひどすき *2025-02-15, version 14.0* ゲームより広告見ている時間の方が長い やめます。 ### 2/5 — Merge cake design game *2025-02-09, version 14.0* To many adds do want us play or watch adds smh ### 2/5 — Ads *2025-01-27, version 14.0* Too many ads ! Having ads isn’t an issue but my word it seems every time you touch the screen I see another advertisement. Come on for the sake of sanity please cut back. More people will play and spend more time playing it they didn’t have to watch advertisements so often. I would give you a higher rating as well. ### 1/5 — Mer *2025-01-25, version 14.0* The game seems to be not working properly it wants a meal to be filled with something that can’t be made I’ve tried everything and nothing makes the item ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2025-01-04, version 14.0* I’m a huge fan of merge games, but this one has a lot of ads that can be really annoying. And it’s tough to refill your energy without waiting a long time or spending money, which is different from other merge games. I will be deleting. ### 2/5 — Way too many adverts *2024-12-28, version 12.0* I have played several of these merge games and this one has way more adverts than the others, also not many opportunities to increase energy without paying for it. Will be deleting it unfortunately. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bad game don’t waste time on it *2026-06-13, version 19.0* This game is terrible.
