It’s made a good game bad *2024-04-28* Why are the generators giving at level 7 and 8 giving me things I get from a level 1 generator constantly? Is it so I use more energy so I have to buy more? Also why are there so many ads now? Even before I start the game. This update has had me drop my review from 4 stars to 2 stars. And that’s a shame cause I really like this game. ### 3/5 — Ads *2024-04-11* Way to many ads in this game…it’s good if ads don’t annoy you!! ### 4/5 — Good game *2024-02-02* Good game but too many bubbles and not enough space on merging table ### 2/5 — Bored *2024-01-22* I’ve just started playing and I’m bored . I play a few of these games. It’s taking so long to charge my first 2 items I’m bored of waiting ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2023-10-27* I gave this game over 2 months. Overall this game is stagnant. It’s storyline is to regenerate areas but at a basic style. Use your cash to upgrade the area parts with options to change colours to suit you, could do with some way of making it worthwhile, which leads me to the cash grab. The game consistently produces bubbles, for purchase obviously, but in a way that is excessive, you have a space spare, fill it with a bubble, which you have to either purchase or wait for some time to collect the cash. Got 3/4 spaces, merge an item all places on board full, you guessed it, with bubbles. It makes an infuriating amount of bubbles that makes the game boring, to a point of around 1 bubble to about every 1.3 of energy used. Generators, some of them, require huge amounts of resources to create only to produce 5/6 items and then disappears and you have to do it again, you can see how higher items this way would be excessively expensive in resources. Many merge games I have played and still play, this being the only one I have reviewed because it is unbearably tedious and frustrating when all you want to do is spend 5 mins pooping and playing. The bubbles take around 1-2 mins to pop and by then you’re wiping your own. Played in aeroplane mode and still huge amount of pop ups for purchases… inventory full, buy this. Board full, but this etc etc ### 3/5 — Rate *2023-09-25* Enjoying it so far ### 4/5 — super *2023-09-14* Merci6pour ### 3/5 — It’s ok *2023-08-23* I agreed with another poster, too many ads. I understand there must be ads but there must be balance. If you’re going to interrupt often, you need to have a game that’s worth waiting for. ### 2/5 — 強制的に広告が始まる *2023-08-17* ゲーム自体は楽しめそうなのに勝手に広告が再生され頻度も多く嫌気がさしてやめました。 ### 3/5 — Fun … but *2023-08-13* After downloading I only got to play for about 20 mins and all my energy was gone and everything was refilling so I couldn’t play…… on the off occasion I get to play I want to , not wait for a refrigerator to refill …. Game could be fun ….. ### 5/5 — Fun *2023-08-05* I enjoy playing it so far. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 너무 지루함 *2025-06-18* 거미줄처진것들는 대체 언제 나올까 똑같은 병합만 해야하니 너무너무너무 자루하고 거미줄처진것들은 나오지도 않고 답답해 미침 ### 1/5 — Es gibt bessere *2023-12-01* Absolut bescheuertes Spiel. Die Quellen können nicht beschleunigt werden. Es gibt entschieden bessere Spiele. ### 1/5 — Ads *2023-08-20* Way too many ads.. deleting ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2023-08-16* Fun game, but way too many ads. There are other similar games available without the forced ads, so will be deleting this one. ### 1/5 — Sad *2023-08-09* I downloaded this game and it will not let me open it to play!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Game review *2023-08-04* Game concept is enjoyable and I know you need ads to keep game free but there are way too many ads. Feel like I’m playing ads not the game and you put things in the bubbles way too much which has taken away the enjoyment and I have deleted game ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2023-07-16* Way to many ads fix it or I’m taking it off my phone and iPad ### 2/5 — 消える筈の無い物なのに *2026-02-19* アイテムを生成してたらLv6の本棚が消えた。体力の回復量は何処よりも早いけど製造する物が消失するのは困る。 ### 2/5 — The ads *2024-11-17* This game is fun but the constant ads get really annoying and make me not want to continue playing this game. If the ads could be cut down significantly then this would be more fun to play ### 2/5 — Good game too many ads *2024-08-29* Enjoy the game but ads every two moves ruins it ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Merge madness Happy cook *2025-05-24* I love the game very much ### 5/5 — Merge maddness *2025-04-13* I love this game ### 5/5 — Love it *2024-05-03* I love this game that’s all ### 5/5 — Good game *2024-04-21* Fun to play and very addictive ### 5/5 — Pain *2024-04-14* This game is so addictive ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2024-04-13* It is super fun and the game is actually what it says is ### 5/5 — Good *2024-03-16* Enjoying playing ### 5/5 — Merge Madness *2023-09-11* This game is addictive ### 5/5 — Love it *2023-08-29* So far just started the game but I love it ### 5/5 — Great game. *2023-08-14* Feel free to try ;) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
