Lots of different activities keeps you engaged. However, it is too pricey and the energy builds way too slow. And if you want to do the activities, you have to have energy. As fun as it is, the cost a lone is why I am thinking about leaving this game. ### 3/5 — Good in beginning *2026-08-17* 1. This game is pretty good in beginning, but as it progresses, need several days to finish one task(ex: need 500 energy to finish a Lv10 item) 2. Asks you to pay everywhere, many “deals”, no end to paying. The further you play the game, it becomes very hard to process. I would only give it a 3 star because it was good in the beginning and I used to enjoy it. **Developer response:** We value your experience greatly. Your feedback has been shared with our team for further improvement. ### 4/5 — Beautiful merging *2026-08-15, version 1.12.57* Of all the merge games, this is the most beautiful, elegant, refined one. All the merging elements are a pleasure to see over and over (not like others that have endless toilet paper). The story is interesting although it takes a while to understand what’s going on and to remember all the names. All in all, the best merge game of all that I’ve tried. Beware how easy it is to spend money here. Most addictive. ### 3/5 — Game is becoming more and more difficult impossible to complete a chapter *2026-08-12, version 1.12.57* Game just feel harder all of a sudden why is that once I completed collected previous cat marks and my board is almost completely full with a bunch of different stuffs, the new ones asks for different ones or even more difficult items to merge and they barely give any reward? Please fix that. ### 2/5 — unable to log in after new update *2026-08-11* Keep saying URLsessiontask fail with error, was able to log in again but then fail again. Getting frustrated **Developer response:** We’ve received your report. Please share more details via customer support to help us fix it faster. ### 3/5 — Được mà tối ngày loading *2026-08-10, version 1.12.57* Game thì vui đấy nhưng càng ngày càng chậm và bị lỗi tối ngày reload. Hơn nữa cấp càng cao càng khó chơi vì cũng chỉ có từng đó energy nhưng vật phẩm nâng nhiệm vụ lại ở mức 10-12 :) ### 2/5 — Please stop using genAI *2026-08-09, version 1.12.57* The game is fun to play during downtime. However, I noticed a huge uptick in generative AI usage for in-game art. This greatly disincentivizes me from spending any further money on the game. Please don't take cheap shortcuts that give a bad and lazy look. I would like to enjoy the art created by real artists.. ### 4/5 — Fun story and lovely items *2026-08-09, version 1.12.57* Aside from more ads that push their own microsales (hence 4 stars) Otherwise, I’m thoroughly enjoying the story and love the items chosen for merging. ### 4/5 — Good……. But *2026-08-06, version 1.12.55* Good game but I don’t like how long it can take for things to recharge my main problem though is how quickly you run out of that energy bar and spending money isn’t an option for me so it takes a while to wait but I do love the designing part of the Teahouse. ### 5/5 — I adore this game! *2026-08-02, version 1.12.55* I don’t usually leave reviews but I felt this game deserved it! I love how long you can play for even if it’s an energy based game. I love the plot and the romance-able options (since they all are unique). I also adore the designs of the area and characters. This definitely is my favorite merge game I’ve ever played, and I’ve played a lot of them. 10/10 recommend!!! ❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — Almost perfect! *2026-08-02* First off, I want to start with my immense love for the game. Character designs are beautiful, story is thought out and captivating. The choices to renovate your teahouse are always beautiful and I love that we can choose between multiple! The merge aspect is very fun too, and I really enjoy the events! BUT I do wish we got more gems and coins. Let me elaborate, in the start of the game you can play for hours as you get plenty of gems and coins making it easy enough to progress. But once you get further in, the amount you get dwindles down as does the playtime, leaving about 15ish minutes of gameplay, which is quite annoying and disheartening. Especially when I use all the ads I can, take advantage and make strategic moves it can only allow for another 5 minutes of gameplay at most. Overall, I think this game is lovely and truly a gem among free games, and arguably the best merge style game I’ve played yet! But I wish we got more coins and gems. Thank you for creating such a fun game and I cannot wait for the next update!! 💗 **Developer response:** We really appreciate your love and feedback! Your support inspires us to keep moving forward. ### 5/5 — Fun time killer *2026-08-01, version 1.12.55* Fun little merge game ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Spam *2026-08-18, version 1.12.57* Can’t even play it it doesn’t even download ### 1/5 — Can’t Play It *2026-08-15, version 1.12.57* I was excited to try this game out. After the tutorial I went to settings to change a few things. It freezes the game. So,etc es it kicks me off after being froze for a minute, sometimes I need to hit the home button a few times and force it to shut down. I have also had to hit the power button and go dark because it wouldn’t let me turn it off. Didn’t even get a chance to play really. Even uninstalling and reinstalling it did not help. ### 1/5 — Standard mobile game nonsense *2026-08-14* Shocking no one, the ads are an absolute lie. I was promised saving a sexy red haired guy from ninjas with epic cut scenes. Instead, after over 90 chapters of just talking sprites with only the barest of animations I meet a round fluff ball begging for roast chicken. That’s it. According to Reddit the human version sort of like the guy from all the promos does show up in like 20 more chapters. But it’s not worth it. Unless you’re willing to pour an ungodly amount of money into this thing, your progress will slow to an absolute crawl. I’m okay spending some money, but you have to drop at least $5 every single day, at an absolute minimum, to make any progress. Without it you just don’t have enough energy to complete orders in a reasonable amount of time. And prices have increased dramatically. To get the bonus column on events, it was like $6. Reasonable and I paid it several times. Now it’s $16 and the rewards aren’t even worth the $6. Oh and when you do drop money, you get maybe 10 minutes out of it before you’re right back to the slow crawl. AND your luck magically vanishes when you haven’t spent money super recently **Developer response:** We’re sorry to disappoint you. Your feedback has been noted, and we’ll work on improving things. Thank you for your patience. ### 1/5 — Lost all my data *2026-08-13, version 1.12.57* You lost all my data and there is no way to contact you to ### 1/5 — AI Slop *2026-08-12, version 1.12.57* I get ads for this game in other games and they use generative AI for every single ad! What’s worse is that it’s never the same one, they use generative AI for so many different ads it’s awful. ### 1/5 — Abusive disgusting ads *2026-08-05* This game shows ads including spousal abuse, attempted murder, and a woman trying to hang herself. It is absolutely disgusting and the people making it should be ashamed of themselves. **Developer response:** We value your experience greatly. Your feedback has been shared with our team for further improvement. ### 1/5 — 돈 쓰지 마셈. ㄹㅇ 환불받고 싶어짐 *2026-08-03* 6자리 돌파한지 꽤 됐는데 과금하면 할수록 이득이 없음. 아이템에 비해 가격 비싸지기만 하고 얼음 하루에 안 나오는 때도 많고 광고는 없어진지 오래됨. 미션은 계속 어려워지기만 해서 하루에 못하는 경우도 생김. 현질했는데도 고양이 미션 3개중에 1개도 완성 못 하는 거 보고서 진짜 정떨어져서 월정액? 긁어놨고 보석 많이 남아있는데도 걍 삭제해버림. 퍼즐게임 중에 이렇게까지 과금 유도하는 게임도 없을듯. 차라리 섭종해서 환불이나 해줬음 좋겠음. 매번 개선하겠다 불편끼쳐드려 죄송하다 이런 답글 달고서 변하는 게 없음. 전체환불 마렵다 진짜 **Developer response:** 유저님의 경험을 매우 중시하고 있습니다. 불편을 드려 죄송하며, 전달해 주신 의견은 관련 부서에 즉시 전달하여 확인하도록 하겠습니다. ### 1/5 — Fun but………. *2026-07-31* So while it lasts it is ok. Monetization of movement is a real thing. Then when you are burnt out and delete the app. Charges start showing up for purchases you did not make ……….. so give this app a miss **Developer response:** We’re sorry to disappoint you. Your feedback has been noted, and we’ll work on improving things. Thank you for your patience. ### 1/5 — Confused *2026-07-29, version 1.12.55* I played what I thought was this game during an ad break on another game I play. I thought it looked cool, but now that I have played it it’s nothing like the game I played during the ad. What is the point of making a fake gameplay for an ad?? I don’t get it ### 1/5 — Stop AI *2026-07-23, version 1.12.55* Stop using AI. Do better for our planet. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Actually Interesting *2026-08-19* By far the best merging game out there, would recommend to anyone!✨😆 Has a really interesting plot, constant updates and challenges and very good pacing, the balance between merging and reading chapters is absolute perfection! It really differs it from any other game I’ve seen 🦊💗 Only growing points is on the art, I the game may soon work with real artists along with historical search and improve a few things like “Vulpes” clothing design etc. (Also, more customization for the Teahouse) Ps: IT GENUINELY HAS NO ADS!!! 🤩🤩🤩 (insane!!!💗✨) **Developer response:** We really appreciate your love and feedback! Your support inspires us to keep moving forward. ### 5/5 — Delightful! *2026-08-16, version 1.12.57* Graphics, music, and storyline are unsurpassed in merge games! I’ve played so many merge games where I’ve had to mute the music or skip over the storyline to enjoy the merge. Not here! You won’t be disappointed, it’s superior! ### 5/5 — Aboutttttt *2026-08-14* Tooooooooo Playyyyyyy **Developer response:** Thank you for the 5-star review! We’ll keep improving and bringing you more fun experiences. Enjoy your time! ### 5/5 — Really nice *2026-08-13, version 1.12.57* Really fun game, actually is how advertised, story is fun and interesting, animation is really cute ### 5/5 — Yasss *2026-08-12* To obsess with merging everything to the point of I run out on energy I get upset **Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your thoughts! We truly value your feedback and will keep enhancing the experience. ### 5/5 — The story has me hooked *2026-08-11, version 1.12.57* The game is super cute, I’m a huge fan of the visuals personally. But I’m HIGHLY invested in the story. I love this game. ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-08-06, version 1.12.55* This is an amazing game- so fun and what a great story! Half the ads I’ve seen have NOTHING to do with what gameplay actually is… I don’t really get it, since the actual game is way better than what the ads show. Downloaded this game, it’s incredible I have a bug to report- the latest chapter doesn’t show up in English 😣 ### 5/5 — Finally no ads!!! *2026-08-06, version 1.12.55* I appreciate this game so much. Finally no darn ads unless I willing want something more. I’m so tired of other games lying about what type of game they are and “no ads” BS just to force ads on me after a couple of levels. I will continue to spend money on this game occasionally to thank the dev for not being jerks. ### 5/5 — Best Merge Game Thus Far *2026-08-03, version 1.12.55* This game’s aesthetic is amazing, everything from merge item pieces on the board to the characters, plus the story’s plot is interesting :D One of the best casual games I’ve come across ### 5/5 — Pretty good *2026-08-03, version 1.12.55* The story is a lot better than I thought it would be for a merge game, and the merge chains are so cute! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
