### 5/5 — Gorgeous game!

*2026-03-16, version 1.5.5*

This game is so cute, cozy, fun, and relaxing. My favorite  of this type of game.

I wrote the first review of this game, and I ended up coming back. To my absolute delight, all the issues were fixed, and the game is easy to understand and the board is so pretty. 

Just a suggestion: I think this game would have way more downloads with a punchier thumbnail image in the App Store and a better name. The thumbnail doesn’t stand out among other apps when you are scrolling through. The image is too small to see what it is, and as much as I love the look of the cottage in the game, this image isn’t standing out. Like, keep it beautiful, but more noticeable in the search results.

I suggest the name “Merge Cottage” or “Cottagecore Merge: Renovate Cottage and Gardens” or similar. Cottage style aka cottagecore is popular and more descriptive of what this is. Cartoon is too generic and the name didn’t draw me in. I only found this game because I dig deep in the App Store to find these hidden gems lol.

I actually played through a good while ago, but the App Store was broken and I couldn’t leave a review, so sorry for the delay!

This game is so precious. Thank you for the enjoyment I got playing it ❤️


PREVIOUS REVIEW:

Beautiful, but too complicated

There is so much potential in this game. The little cottage/land you are renovating is so adorable and the concept is great. 

 However, the matching board part of the game is way too complicated. It’s too hard to figure out what items come from which bucket. Some are color coded, but others aren’t. Too many different pieces coming from too many types of buckets. The items that come out aren’t necessarily related to each other. It’s too hard to figure out which bucket makes what item, especially if there’s a secondary bucket like first making seed bags then making flowers. Then some buckets are too similar. Like, there are the seed bags that make flowers, but then there’s also a tree that gives off seeds that does what exactly?? And just too many types of items overall, especially to start out with. Usually games start with a few buckets and then add more later, so you can figure out what they do without being overwhelmed. I’ve played other similar games and never felt they were too complicated. I currently play Longleaf Valley, and they’ve done a good job of making the board comprehensible if you want an example of what I’m talking about. 

 And also, while the cottage part of the game is pretty and light, the matching board is drab and dark. I just found I didn’t enjoy spending time on the matching board, which is most of the game. I’ve personally stopped playing after a few days because although I love the cottage part, I just dislike the matching part (usually my favorite part of the game). Still, I’ll rate it 5 stars because there is huge potential and it looks like this game is new with few reviews so I want to leave a good rating for the first written review to encourage you. I would absolutely love to love this game and I’ll keep it and check back in periodically.

### 4/5 — Kurd

*2025-04-21*

I love the game specially these combing games my favvv waiting for y’all to add new things 😍

### 3/5 — Waiting

*2025-02-16*

Cute game, but you have to wait to long for everything, definitely not “stress free”. I would like it better if I could actually play the game and not spend most of my time waiting.

### 3/5 — cute game but has some bugs

*2024-09-27*

i love this game, wish there was an easier way to get energy instead of waiting… the option to watch ads to get energy doesnt work. it just shows a black screen. please fix this, and maybe lesson the waiting time to watch more ads. i’ve tried many times to watch an ad and its always a black screen

### 5/5 — needs new update

*2024-09-14*

i finished this game a long time ago, probably close to 2 years. i still play it every day because of the apple event, but it’s been getting boring just doing that. i love the fact that it has no ads!!! easily best part of the game

### 5/5 — Over too soon

*2024-07-14, version 1.4.2*

I’ve really enjoyed playing this game for a while, but it seems that I’ve now finished it? I finished the 3rd pigs house and there’s nothing else left to do :( Would love the developers to work on further gameplay as this has been a really enjoyable game!

### 5/5 — Addictive !!!

*2024-03-24*

I just downloaded this game and another one from the same game developer and I got to say this one is amazing!!! I love the design the animations and the music. It’s all great!!!

### 5/5 — Great

*2024-01-30, version 1.3.5*

Love this game it’s pretty awesome

### 5/5 — Cute and relaxing:)

*2023-12-14, version 1.3.4*

Absolutely love the game I hope to see more like this in the future:)

### 1/5 — Privacy concerns!

*2023-12-02*

So, this game looked really cute and fun, as a way to unwind from long and stressful days. But then I looked at the privacy policy before I opened it. This is copied directly from the developer’s privacy policy: 
“Phone permission

Used for accessing a host of typical features associated with telephony. This enables, for instance, read-only access to the “phone state”, which means it enables access to the phone number of the device, current mobile network information, or the status of any ongoing calls.“

I’m sorry, but no reason is given for this information being needed, let alone a legitimate one. Combine this with the fact that they will share your info with third parties for “legitimate reasons,” (they totally promise!) and I’m out. Make your money from in app purchases, ads, and premium version upgrades. I do not need more spam and nonsense in my life.

**Developer response:** We do not access or collect data such as phone numbers, mobile network information, or call status without the consent of our customers. On the iOS system, it is also not possible to collect such information without consent. Our privacy policy is publicly available at https://www.1gramgames.com/policy/privacy.html.
