And the game with the mole is broken, we’re making 0 damage but we also win the price. Hope that the creator will add other gnomes. ### 2/5 — Upgrade problems? *2019-07-27, version 1.2.2* This is really a fun game. I bought the VIP package and barrel upgrades. The problem is that when you buy the upgrades, you are stuck with any remaining lower level gnome. If you upgrade the barrels to level 2, and you have a remaining level 1, the option of buying another level 1 is taken away. There is no merge for that lone guy, and you can’t trash any gnomes you don’t need. The gnome just takes up a valuable space. Very troubling. I’m canceling my VIP. ### 4/5 — Реклама игры в этой же игре *2018-11-04, version 1.1.6* Первая же реклама была этой же игры . Нет ну я понимаю что за рекламу им платят но кто вам заплатил за рекламу этой игры в ней же ? А так игра крутая . ### 2/5 — Could be better *2018-09-24, version 1.1.4* A few times I have gone to open my game and all my gnomes except for one have disappeared, and my cash amount dropped by half, was not impressed ### 3/5 — Ok, but limited replay value *2018-08-10, version 1.1.3* Bugs below are fixed, but what do you do when you get to the final gnome? 1) The app crashes when merging two of the Copper Field gnome. 2) Once the cost of a gnome exceeds roughly 2.3 billion, the purchase does not work even if you have enough coins. ### 3/5 — Glitches/bugs... *2018-07-23, version 1.1.1* Been playing for a couple weeks. Yesterday I didn’t have my whole board and now I cannot buy the gnomes I have enough money for. Level 22 and still going... for now. ### 2/5 — Keeps crashing!!! *2018-07-22, version 1.1.1* Doesn’t let me get past the cop fusion!!!! ### 4/5 — Great Game *2018-07-21, version 1.1.1* I was playing for awhile and I got to the Cop Gnome and I got two of them but when merging them together my app crashed and it happens every time I merge them. ### 2/5 — Quite Glitchy But Fun *2018-07-20, version 1.1.1* I was having fun with this, enough to make the $5 intro IAP worth it to me. After a while though it started falling apart. First it wouldn’t let me purchase gnomes, then took away many existing gnomes and about half of my available slots. Pretty disappointing, regretting the purchase now. ### 5/5 — 👌 *2018-07-15, version 1.1.1* Очень забавная и крутая игра! ### 2/5 — Cash grab *2018-07-15, version 1.1.1* It costs actual money to upgrade anything in the game and every time there is a new gnome it brings up the iOS share menu EVERY TIME. Waste of time. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Games and fun. *2019-10-10, version 1.2.2* Okay. ### 1/5 — Daily prizes broken *2019-07-18, version 1.2.2* This is a fun time waster, but it keeps resetting me back to day one, week one on the daily prizes, despite opening it every day. Also the whack a mole mini game just says 0 above the moles when I whack them and then stops working. ### 1/5 — Disappointed to say the least *2019-05-25, version 1.2.2* I bought the level 5 upgrade. It was listed at 1.99. I tapped it and it said purchase for 3.99. Ok, whatever, bought it anyway. Didn’t get my upgrade. So not only did I pay DOUBLE what was advertised, you’ve taken my money without giving me what i paid for. False advertising and theft. Fix. This. NOW ### 1/5 — Вылетает *2019-01-15, version 1.2.1* При входе в приложение сразу вылетает. Даже не знаю норм игра или нет ### 1/5 — Needs to be fixed. *2018-07-28, version 1.1.1* I have paid for things within the app and it has completely crashed this week and I can’t do anything. Promised an update by Thursday and nothing. Needs to fixed Immediately. ### 1/5 — 😡 *2018-07-26, version 1.1.1* It stopped working it won’t let me buy any gnomes with my coins and all my spots are filled so I can’t play at all! I paid for this game please fix it already!! ### 1/5 — It’s crashing all the time... *2018-07-20, version 1.1.1* I’ve unlocked all the gnomes up to copper fields. When I try to merge two coppers together the game crashes. Also I noticed that my game board only has 16 slots available to hold characters. I’m at lvl 21 and should have a bigger board. I’m very Disappointed if this the way the progression is going into lvl 21 making the board smaller. I’m assuming it’s a glitch in the version of the game but until this gets fixed my rating will stay at one star. It was a fun game up until this point. Also I’m not able to buy gnomes that cost over 1.0b game gold. Is there a cap? Anyway, until problems get fixed I’m not changing my review. ### 1/5 — Not worth your time. *2018-07-15, version 1.1.1* Was decent for the first 20 minutes, but this is just another easy cash grab game for them to get as much money as possible with repetitive boring “gameplay”. ### 1/5 — Blatant Copy *2018-07-15, version 1.1.1* This is just a re-skin of merge town, come up with an original game. ### 1/5 — No path to upgrade to faster progress *2018-07-15, version 1.1.1* I hate Pay to win and this game has no barrel upgrade path other then pay real money to get any sense of progress ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Addictive game. *2021-11-13, version 1.2.2* This game has taken over my life. My husband and children can no longer communicate with me. There is just gnomes and more gnomes…. ### 5/5 — Merge gnomes *2019-05-25, version 1.2.2* I love this game ### 5/5 — The best game *2019-05-11, version 1.2.2* Thank you for making this game. ### 5/5 — Awesome game! *2019-01-03, version 1.1.9* Best merging game I’ve ever played! ### 5/5 — I love it *2018-08-31, version 1.1.4* This game is amazing ### 5/5 — Fun game. *2018-08-27, version 1.1.4* Fun game, looking forward for new updates and futures.
