Deleted items I created
I was well on my way to creating the highest level beverage item today and I had created a punch fountain and I’ve gotten almost up to creating two more of those coconut drinks. On my way to creating another punch fountain and I shut the app and came back about an hour and a half later and all of my progress had been deleted. In fact I had merged a punch bowl. That was one of those ones that you start off with on the board that you have to grab another of the same item and merge it to release it and that’s how I got the punch fountain and currently that Punchbowl is now the way it was when the board was brand new. It’s like this game eats your progress so you can’t succeed unless you pay money for tokens seems like a scam.

Don’t listen to the bots this game is rip off
Like most app games this is token based but instead of having daily token lump sum you have a hourly one where tokens are capped at hourly limit. the hourly token collection is only enough for few moves even on lowest level. Long story short you have to collect every hour or pay to have any meaningful game play. Part of rewards app program so I have otherwise I’d delete this trash.

It’s really good!
A lot better than others
Do I love the game
I like it but is do not now how to get my money
Cute but crashing
It was cute to try, but as all reviews mention there was a series of pop ups to close (about 10). I got used to that but now it just crashes and I can’t play at all. Oh well. Bye!
Could be better
There are 7 pop ups every time you open the game and it uses energy 3 at a time, which means you can burn through it pretty quickly.
Not working
Yhe app just stopped working. I have deleted it and restarted the game my phone.
Not As Advertised
While the game’s storyline is cute the advertisements are very misleading. Secondly the amount of pop ups when you open the game (at least 12 on my last play) are so obnoxious it makes me not want to even bother opening the app let alone hand over money.
Unable to load up
Fun game but the game has stalled and I am unable to load it up now. Please help and fix the problem.
Events are messed up
Update: well now I only have 6 things to click out of to play but now none of the gameplay events are working one says if I do all these tasks I get something the other is the event where I merge certain items. I have the items and I keep getting more and they are just doing nothing on my game because I don’t have the event for it. But fear not the rest of the pops are to buy stuff. Is this how we are punished for saying something? Take away our free events?
I like the game I like the way you can stack up energy and not be missing out on getting the hourly energy but just to click that button to get energy or get on and play I have to click an x on tons of pop up screens trying to make me buy something. I counted it just now and it was 11 times I had to click on an x just to get to the game. It’s really annoying and does not make me want to buy anything

Waste of Time
The forced minigames (up to 8 at a time, ongoing) deplete your energy reserves making it impossible to progress through the main challenges and story. Cute graphics, but a deceptive waste of time.
Pushes pay to play

A refreshing change
The game itself is pretty standard but the story is interesting. It’s nice to see a game with LGBTQ people as the focus. If I have a complaint it’s the amount of pop ups when you open the game. Eight of them for in game events, two for top up reminders. Since the energy tops up so frequently it can be off putting.

Pop ups
It’s nice that there are no forced ads, but why do I have to click through literally 11 pop ups every single time I open the game. It’s so annoying, it makes me not want to open it and collect my coins half of the time.
Amazing Game
Fun great game to play while making money!!!
Good game
I like this game is really good
Too many events happen at one time.
Logging in and getting started takes a while because you have to close 5+ pop up windows for events before you can start in the game.
Then the events are a part of the game play whether you join them or not.
It’s a real hassle.

Rien de gay...
Le jeu est un simple match 3 entre sandwiches et maillots de bain. Rien à voir avec la pub totalement mensongère : rien de gay ni de près ni de loin.
Bref sans intérêt.

HORRIBLE GAME DESIGN
I wanted to love this game SO bad, but the longer I play, the more it feels like the entire game is designed to frustrate you into spending real money.
The coin system is absolutely ridiculous. You barely earn any coins through normal gameplay, and there are almost no meaningful ways to get more unless you level up, buy them, or sit through multiple ads just to get something like 20 coins. And the amount of pop-up ads constantly being thrown at you makes it even worse.
Yes, you can technically earn coins by completing merge requests, but even that system feels completely unbalanced. The requests will have you trying to create items at level 9, 10, 11, or even 12, which takes FOREVER, just for the reward to be around 100 coins. Meanwhile, every single time you tap the merge bag to generate an item, it costs 3 coins. THREE. So by the time you’ve spent hundreds of coins trying to create the high-level item they’re requesting, the tiny reward doesn’t even come close to making up for what you spent creating it. You’re basically losing coins just by playing the game the way it’s intended to be played.
And that’s my biggest issue: what exactly are we supposed to do when we run out of coins?
There’s no real side game to grind for coins. No meaningful daily activities. No power-ups that help you progress. No alternate gameplay that lets you build your resources back up. Nothing. You’re basically left with the options of waiting, watching several ads for a laughably small amount of coins, leveling up whenever you finally manage to do that, or pulling out your wallet.
The game could actually be REALLY fun if the economy were balanced better. Give us daily coin challenges. Give us mini-games. Give us login bonuses. Give us power-ups. Let us earn a reasonable amount of coins from requests. Make the merge bag cost 1 coin instead of 3. Give us SOMETHING that makes it feel like progressing is based on actually playing the game instead of constantly being pushed toward buying coins.
I understand free games need to make money. I don’t expect everything to be handed to players for free. But there’s a difference between offering optional purchases and designing the entire gameplay loop around constantly draining a resource that players have almost no reasonable way to replenish.
At this point, it doesn’t even feel like I’m playing a merge game. It feels like I’m playing “How Long Can You Survive Before You Run Out of Coins?”
I really wanted to like Merge Cruise because the concept is cute and I actually enjoy the merging part, but the coin system completely ruins it. Unless they add more ways to earn coins, increase the rewards, lower the cost of generating items, or add more actual gameplay, I can’t recommend it. Right now it just feels like a game built around getting you invested enough to eventually pay for coins.

Wonderful, but greedy
I was thrilled to play an LGBTQ focused game and the story and puzzles are wonderful. But, after the initial set of levels, the game time drastically decreases unless you continually pay to play. I tend to prefer to splurge occasionally when I’m really having fun, but it’s heavily skewed to force you to pay to make progress.
