I like playing cute little games to take a break. I really like this game. There is a ton of upgrades, research, events and of course merging. The ads ruin this game. It should be an easy 5 star game but ads pop up randomly. I will be in the middle of trying to do something and an ad pops up. Many times you will have to watch back to back ads over and over just to play the game or to activate required bonuses, which I am fine with. It’s the random ads you don’t get a choice to watch that is overwhelming. Please work on decreasing the ads and give players the choice to watch the random ads. Thank you ### 3/5 — Too many ads *2020-04-25, version 1.15* Ever few minutes I play this game there are ads playing, even when I’m doing something. ### 4/5 — Would be 5 * but *2019-09-29, version 1.01* I can turn the music off but every ten seconds there’s an ad and the music is back on. I’m almost ready to uninstall over the music. That needs to be fixed otherwise it’s a really fun game and I don’t mind the ad frequency but the fact that the settings don’t stay after ads is really annoying and tedious :( ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Obnoxious Ads and Pop-ups *2020-12-07, version 1.16* ADS! RATE US!! MORE ADS!! HEY DO YOU WANNA WATCH AN AD??? WATCH AN AD! RATE US AND WATCH AND AD! This game is super cute and would be so much fun to play if it weren’t for the amount of rapid-fire pop-ups demanding that you watch an ad to upgrade an item, get extra money, speed up production, etc, followed up by demands for ratings every five minutes. Not even exaggerating here, I spend more time escaping from ads and rating requests than I do on actual gameplay. You want a rating? Here it is. You have a great game with a cute concept that sets itself apart from all the countless other merge games out there, and you’re ruining it with a suppressive fire of ads and pop-ups. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2020-11-04, version 1.16* Maybe cut back on the Ads a bit! Watching so many videos takes a way from how fun the game actually is. The cute shops are adorable. ### 1/5 — Cute game but *2020-07-07, version 1.16* It’s cute and fun but the only way to rid yourself of the to frequent ads is to pay way to much money on a recurring weekly basis. ### 1/5 — Do not recommend *2020-05-10, version 1.15* The art style is cute but full of force watching adds!! ### 1/5 — Paid for VIP lost all progress! *2020-04-28, version 1.15* Paid for the VIP worked for a few days now ads are back and it’s asking me To join VIP when I’m already a member. Reinstalled game and lost all progress mostly paid for! ### 1/5 — I’ll rate higher when you stop begging *2020-04-09, version 1.11* I hadn’t had a proper chance to play, but you keep begging to be rated so here ya go. ### 1/5 — The new update deleted all my progress *2019-09-27, version 1.01* After the new update the game is buggy beyond understandable, not only it deleted everything I have had, it doesn’t even show the contents properly(just grid and gray shapes). In short it’s not playable. ### 1/5 — Buggy and disappointed *2019-06-13, version 1.0* I’ve been playing this game for almost a week and the only reason I still have t download was to finish fixing up the room. The main game is frustrating. From having inaccurate experience counter (making it impossible to tell when I will level up) to crashing constantly when I watch an add to get bonus crates and then be disappointed when I load it up again and the crates are gone. There is supposed to be an offline revenue system but for the past few days I have been getting NOTHING when I log in. Extremely buggy and frustrating after the first day of playing. ### 1/5 — Deleted! *2019-06-07, version 1.0* Everything was fine until I accidentally clicked the deleted! Everything was gone! I don’t understand why they have that option! So annoying! Can’t even get all back! ### 2/5 — Interesting, but frustrating *2019-06-08, version 1.0* Game has lots of potential, BUT, playing on I pad, when clicking on bonus Eiffel Tower, tap to close is right over the watch video, so it’s impossible to get any extras. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Unity *2022-05-24, version 1.16* Xxxooo ### 5/5 — Update? *2020-05-19, version 1.15* Will there be another update soon? I reached the level 40 building and there are no more merges after that. ### 5/5 — Such a fun game! *2020-04-21, version 1.15* Love this game so much it’s so simple for new idle games ### 5/5 — Love this *2020-04-21, version 1.15* This game is super there is ads but it’s worth it I love it but the only thing I would change would be get more boxes faster ### 5/5 — Cute game! *2020-04-11, version 1.11* It’s such a cute and simple game, and I don’t mind the ads for gems at all! My one tiny complaint is how difficult it gets to earn the hammers the higher level you get. Unless there’s a way I’m not aware of, but it’s not a huge thing. It’s still a fun way to spend a little downtime. ### 5/5 — Please update *2019-06-14, version 1.0* This is a really cute game but it needs to be updated to fix the flaws. ### 4/5 — Pretty fun!! ;)) *2020-07-03, version 1.16* This game is good for when your bored and you want to pass time, or when you don't have any network connection!! However, I do have some complaints. There are way too many ads that pop up right in he middle of nowhere. Hammers are really hard to get to renovate your hotel rooms. You always get the same person picked for the invitation to your room. The entry things are way to hard where you tap the money and get money, but you only get 15 seconds and that's way too hard. I would raise it to a 5 star ⭐️ review if you can fix those problems please 😄 ### 4/5 — Great game, stuck on Floor 4 *2020-06-10, version 1.16* This is a great game overall, there are a good amount of ads but they do provide diamonds each time it opens. I finished the mansion all the way to Floor 4, but it won’t let me move on to Floor 5. Is there any way to fix this problem? ### 4/5 — Please help? *2020-06-09, version 1.16* I really like this game, but a few days ago when I finished the 4th floor of the building it hasn’t allowed me to unlock the 5th floor. I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong or if it’s a bug. Please fix ### 4/5 — Awesome Game but.... *2020-04-08, version 1.11* It’s an awesome game, but way too many ads. I don’t mind a few. But it’s a lot. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
