Please add new levels ### 3/5 — I love the game but *2022-04-20, version 1.3.0* I love this game but the recently added ads are blocking the game so I have to stop playing it until the ads are removed or relocated ### 2/5 — Almost perfect! *2022-03-31* I love playing this game when I can’t actually be camping, but I don’t like that my energy doesn’t recharge unless the game is open. Not sure who can actually leave their phone on one game all night, but it has been 24 hours since I last played and still no energy. **Developer response:** Thank you very much for your feedback. We are sorry for this. We have fixed the automatic response energy. In the latest version, the problem has been fixed when the network is normal. At the same time, we are also honored to inform you that we have updated some new content, and the difficulty and experience have also been optimized. ### 3/5 — Game ends at level 76 *2022-03-21, version 1.3.0* Good game. Paid to remove ads. Finished camps, there's a locked area..guessing that's for nothing. Level 76 is the top level. You can't do anything after. Don't pay to remove ads. Game isn't very long. Not worth $7. ### 3/5 — Just nothing after you complete the level *2022-03-16* I like the game but i can’t go further on the level I’m just stuck. The other level says lock but how do u get to that. Nice game just need new levels. ### 2/5 — Update please *2022-02-28, version 1.3.0* Love the game! But need more levels! I have finished as far as I can go! Update with more levels please! ### 3/5 — After day 76 *2022-02-18, version 1.3.0* I finished the game? I have completed the 4 season and got to the end of day 76 is that the game? I can still play but no more things to buy with my suns? ### 3/5 — Won’t load *2022-01-16, version 1.2.7* It won’t even get past the loading screen ### 3/5 — Can’t get to next level *2021-12-29* I actually really liked this game but I get to a certain level and it won’t let me progress. I’ve tried deleting and replaying but the same thing happened. Please help! **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Please tell us at which level did you encounter this problem? Are there no tasks present?  Your specific reply is very important to us so that we can accurately find the reason and repair it. ### 2/5 — Good game but there are issues *2021-12-27, version 1.2.6* This game is fun, but your energy don’t refill unless you’re online, I was having fun but it is ridiculous that I have to be in the game for energy to refill. ### 2/5 — Energy *2021-12-27* I don’t usually leave reviews. I know that free games are just that free, and I don’t expect them to be wonderful. I downloaded this thinking I would really like it, and so far I have, but I don’t like the fact that the energy does not refill if you don’t have the app open. And even if you leave it open to try to build some energy, my phone will go to sleep. So I still don’t get any energy! I will give it a few more days and hope it is fixed. Otherwise it is getting deleted. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We have fixed this problem in the latest version. You can update to try it. ### 2/5 — Energy *2021-12-26, version 1.2.6* Energy is not replenishing after running out. This happened after the recent fix ### 2/5 — Energy Issue *2021-12-26* The game itself is fairly similar to other merge games, but my biggest issue is that the energy only recharges while the game is open. So closing the game to come back later when the energy is full isn’t possible. ### 2/5 — Energy and wheel *2021-12-26, version 1.2.6* I didn’t play for 2 days. My energy never refilled and my wheel was sat to “free spin in 23 hours 59 mins”. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t recharge *2021-12-26* I actually enjoy this game because it’s quick and straightforward. With that being said my energy does not recharge since the update. I purposely didn’t play for 2 days and I’m still at 1 energy… **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We are repairing it and will update it as soon as possible. ### 3/5 — Welp, that update made it worse… *2021-12-25* Thank you for adding new content and fixing the huge level 13/14 issue. Unfortunately, now energy doesn’t refill unless you have the game open. If it weren’t a huge battery drain, I’d consider it, but we shouldn’t have to jump through hoops to get energy when the previous version refilled over time regardless of whether or not the game was open or active. Could you please also add a support feature that’s easily found in the game so we can let you know when there are issues instead of having to leave less than stellar reviews? Y’all are doing great trying to accommodate your players. Thank you for that. **Developer response:** We have received your feedback. We will repair and deal with the problem of natural energy recovery as soon as possible ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bugs *2022-01-12, version 1.2.7* Every time I get a good amount of progress, the app stops opening and I have to delete and reinstall. I’ve lost all my progress twice. ### 1/5 — Rip Off *2021-12-29* I paid for no ads and when clearing off some unused apps I accidentally deleted this app. I downloaded it again and clicked restore purchases, but it wouldn’t. I said screw it and paid again for no ads. I got the purchase successful message, the money was taken (again) from my bank, but I’m still getting ads. So I basically paid 8 bucks to be frustrated to the point of deleting this app and never using any other app by this creator. Also, give people an option to turn off music but keep game sounds! **Developer response:** We are very sorry to make you encounter such a situation. After purchasing No ADS, do interstitial ads and banner ads still exist? Your specific feedback is very important to our subsequent repair work.  We will fix the problem as soon as possible. ### 1/5 — Energy doesn’t refill when you leave app *2021-12-26, version 1.2.6* I love this game but when I come back to play the energy is still empty kind of annoying please fix this issue ### 1/5 — Energy issue *2021-12-25, version 1.2.6* There’s an issue where the energy does not regenerate unless you have the app open. This is frustrating and makes the game not worth my time. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2021-12-25, version 1.2.6* Can’t play the game. Energy never renews. I’ve been on 0 energy since last night. It should be fully refreshed in that time. the game was fun before they broke it. ### 1/5 — Energy isn’t recharging if not in game *2021-12-24, version 1.2.6* Makes it impossible to play ### 1/5 — Needs a lot of work *2021-12-24* This is your basic merge game. Very simple too. So that being said the game says I need to level up to get a quest. Well how do I do that? Buy coins? Sell everything I merge? It’s been days and I can’t level up I need so many coins. I’m deleting for this reason only. I wanna play not stress. I don’t recommend. ### 1/5 — Terrible app. *2021-12-21, version 1.2.3* This app is garbage ### 1/5 — fun game.. but.. *2021-12-19, version 1.2.3* So i recently downloaded this.. the game is very glitchy.. the bubbles that pop up on the board get stuck there.. and the campsite u build.. theres a black screen with the “made with unity” logo on it and wont go away.. its such a cute game just wish they would fix it ### 1/5 — Ads, ads, ads *2021-12-11* I love merge games and I have almost all of the merge games available in the store. This is, by far, the worst when it comes to ads. I liked the game itself but I deleted and will not redownload because the amount of ads in this game is absolutely preposterous. Every couple moves, an ad will pop up and play, and you can’t skip. Most of the merge games have ads, but this one doesn’t even allow you to get much play in before you’re inundated with yet another ad. It’s just ad after ad after ad. Not worth the download, play ANY of the other merge games. None are as bad as this one when it comes to ads, but Merge Mansion is my favorite. **Developer response:** Thank you very much for your feedback. We have adjusted the frequency of advertising and we have also added many new content. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Outstanding Game but… *2022-06-22* I wish it had more than just the seasonal camps. I’ve finished but continue to play hoping for more. And what about the locked tab in the Collections area? Please make more!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 ### 5/5 — Great game *2022-06-19* Why can’t I get past day 76? Love this game, but frustrated that I can not go any further in the game. ### 5/5 — Asking *2022-05-08, version 1.3.0* No ads please ### 5/5 — Merge camping *2022-01-24, version 1.2.9* I have always been a match three fan I wish you could come out with a app for match three I love the icons that you have to merge thank you karen ### 5/5 — Enjoying the game! *2021-12-10* Just started playing this game and I love it. The ads are not nearly as bad as other merging games. I’m on day/level 8 & I’m happy with it so far! **Developer response:** Thank you for your comment, and we apologize for it. In the latest version, we have fixed the problem of not being able to continue, and we have added a lot of game content. ### 4/5 — Love the game but *2022-02-16* I’ve had a glitch for weeks now. I have a grated out cake that I’d need to merge with but it’s a terminal merge so therefore I can’t remove it from my game board. ### 4/5 — Needs fixed *2022-02-15* Hi I love this game got one question the cake in the game went grey and I can’t move it off the game can’t merge it say it at it makes so just sits there. Ok the next thing that going on is at the bottom where you can sell items or what go put the items u want to save there is ads over it and you can’t get rid of it I exit the game wait and come back it not on there then it comes back help that the only annoying parts but I love the game ### 4/5 — Love the game BUT! *2022-02-12* This game is great no complaints here except you recently added ads at the bottom of the screen while the player merges items! I understand ads are necessary when making games free for everyone and I don’t mind but it blocks the info on the items you merge, selling items and it blocks most of the button to go back to the campsite! I have to stop playing for a while until this is hopefully resolved. Thank you for reading, I can’t wait to continue playing again! ### 4/5 — Won’t load anymore *2022-01-02, version 1.2.7* The game won’t go past the loading stage ### 4/5 — Bugs *2021-12-25* I seen you updated the game recently to add some new features and fix some bugs. Apparently it created a whole new bug where the energy isn't reloading anymore while you’re off the game. Other than that solid game. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We are repairing it and will update it as soon as possible. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
