Gorgeous game!
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.

I love the game specially these combing games my favvv waiting for y’all to add new things 😍
Waiting
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.
cute game but has some bugs
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
needs new update
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
Over too soon
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!
Addictive !!!
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!!!
Great
Love this game it’s pretty awesome
Cute and relaxing:)
Absolutely love the game I hope to see more like this in the future:)
Privacy concerns!
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.

Love it
Voll süß!
Kann gar nicht verstehen, dass nicht mehr Leute das Spiel spielen.
best game ever.
i searched since i was 12 for a game this good, normally when i find a game i get bored in 1 week. now its been months and i haven’t gotten bored yet and i think that speaks volumes. thank you merge cartoon creators. you are one of a kind
Игра супер
Единственна игра за последнее время, в которую хочется заходить постоянно. Была очень рада, когда увидела обновление с более сбалансированными миссиями, но по итогу вышло не совсем так. Единственное, что не нравится в игре так это застревания на миссиях, где приходится очень долго крафтить, у меня сейчас 6 активных заданий с сложным крафтом и это выматывает, порой хочется забросить, когда приходится несколько дней делать бесконечно одно и то же, чтобы скрафтить один предмет :(
Надеюсь, что разработчики сделают чуть меньше сложного крафта, а так все супер :)
Успехов команде!

Обожаю эту игру
Просто вау. Играю не первый месяц и это единственная мобильная игра, которая настолько меня затянула 💓
Adorable and fun
A great, simple merge game. Very cute art style and it’s very fun to clear debris and restore the village. Although the board is relatively small, it’s easy to keep it organized and clear up space. There’s not too many production blocks and it’s fairly easy to buy more storage space.
love it but please make it quicker
such a good and fun game the cartoon autumn style is amazing and so cute but it takes so long to play again you play for a minuite and have to wait another 30 to play again i woudk even watch adverts to skip it but there so option sadly x
Love but please add more events and levels
To the developers, this is one of my favorite games and my favorite merge game by far, it’s popular to others as well and I think it would be a smart decision to increase the amount of levels and use more events. Please add more to the game
Finished the goals
Love this game. Played all consistently and I think I beat all the areas they currently have open. The mini-game with the wolf is fun I’m the mean time.
:)
i love this game. i love that when i get bored of something i can open my phone up and look at cute cartoons and play a little game. i love that i can’t play forever and it reminds me to do actually productive things. i love this game!!!
