I am kinda addicted to it. Even though it freezes once and a while I just exit and get back in. I am still a beginner , but as I said FUNNNN. Get this game please! ### 4/5 — Good quick game, pretty simple *2025-07-06* I find I enjoy this as not so much a game but like a fidget spinner, where I pull out my phone and play this for like a minute or two. It doesn’t require much thought and it does not seem to end. I’m up to 800% bonus coins, not sure if it keeps going but I’m fine with that. ### 4/5 — It’s okay? *2025-01-12* It’s not like I don’t like it… it’s just that I miss the old Gem Merge because I had a love hate relationship with it but I still experienced it when I was a kid and then finding out it was shut down as sad… but this only filled my heart only a little not like the old one, but it isn’t that bad… ### 3/5 — Sad *2024-11-27* YALL. This is so sad the original was shut down. This one is just lifeless. BUT. I never deleted the original game, so I just reloaded it onto my home screen, and when it was opened, it had an announcement that the game was shut down. But all I had to do was click X and I could play again! All my previous data and progress was still there and I can keep building. ### 3/5 — Cool *2024-09-04, version 1.0* A rip off to the original merge Jen and low quality. Still enjoyable ### 3/5 — the updated it *2024-07-18* I MISS THE OLD VERSION😔 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Nah bro *2026-08-22* This just sucks. The old version was so good but this is trash ### 1/5 — Horrific Ad Problem *2026-07-09* The game has a built in brake system for each populated piece and every move you make, which is problematic. However--It is compounded by the fact you are forced to watch excessively long ads that are a few minutes in length every other move. You cant even hit the setting button without being forced to watch a 2-3 minute ad. This game exemplifies exactly whats wrong with mobile games. ### 1/5 — Glitch *2025-06-20* There is no getting pass the purple gem waste of time ### 1/5 — Keeps freezing *2024-12-27* Dude i extremely miss the old merge gems that was actually pretty fun i had good progress on the game but this version just feels bad its not like the old one and the big problem is that sometimes the game doesnt let you press anything and just sits there, so what you need to do is reload the app. If you do that everytime, it can work right? Wrong, because one time i tried to do it and it refused to work. I literally just downloaded the app but i guess its my fault i didnt see the reviews and ratings Please fix the bug its very annoying ### 2/5 — Fix the crate system *2026-07-05* I try spam it the crates to speed it up and my game completely freezes, so I have to restart it, fix ur game ### 2/5 — The old version> *2024-09-26* Okay what the flip skibidi happened to the old version ??😭 this one is not visually pleasing like the other one and js doesn’t give off the same vibe. I miss the old version I was so addicted to it ### 2/5 — Eh *2024-08-29* First of all I miss the old version of this game, the visuals in this one aren't particularly interesting. More importantly though I've been encountering a glitch where every few minutes my screen freezes and won't let me tap until I reload the app. Very annoying ### 3/5 — Good but *2025-08-10, version 1.0* This game is good but the only reason why it’s a 3 is bc the data resets when I close the app and re open it overall grate game. Needs more updates though. ### 3/5 — This is a downgrade but still kinda fun *2025-05-09* I started the game it was fun though I miss the old one. And I had just got the 6th gem it showed me a finger and told me to tap the box and it also wouldn’t let me and the automatic 1 tap per second froze but it was fun while it lasted so I hope none of y’all encounter this glitch ### 3/5 — Fine recreation *2025-02-22* It’s not the original, but it suffices Edit: this game has a rebirth system where you get 50% more money, which is nice, but after the second rebirth i must of progressed too quickly and am literally softlocked, my entire plot is full of unique gems and i cannot do anything If it is updated to where you can delete gems or something for prevention of this, I’ll return my review to 5 stars, but for now it’s literally unplayable ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good *2026-01-07* Good game deserves 5 star ### 5/5 — Good game *2025-12-26* It's a good game for fun and passing time. ### 5/5 — Fantastic game, hope to see updates and developments *2025-08-03* Really neat, really straightforward, the gems designs are good. You should add like an index, with the names of gems and ores which have been discovered and also maybe their short descriptions. Also maybe add a mechanic where at big level milestones like 10, 25, make the default tap box drop the second tier ore, or do that in a form of upgrade with money. This takes me back to the gem merge game we had a few years back, and I really hope to see this game grows and eventually develops its own charm. Till then I am here for it everyday. ### 5/5 — Best game ever! *2025-03-29* This game is my life, i love every new gem is a new experience and stepping stone in my life, or should i say gem 🤣hahahahahaha im so funny. Anyways, love the game it will change your life! ### 5/5 — Merge Jewels *2025-02-21, version 1.0* This game is sooo fun I beg anyone to try thissss ### 5/5 — Fine recreation *2025-02-19* It’s not the original, but it suffices ### 5/5 — I love merge jewels it brings back so many memories 🥹 *2025-02-01* Five stars ⭐️ ### 5/5 — They should update *2025-01-19, version 1.0* They really should update the game because we want this to continue and not like what happened to merge gems where they got shutdown so please update your game ### 5/5 — Underrated *2024-10-16* Just started playing this since merge gems got deleted, I don’t know how there’s only 5 reviews! This game is such good quality and I’ve experienced no bugs ### 4/5 — Review *2026-01-10, version 1.1.2* Very good game with too many adds --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
