Not sure why they stopped having mini quests and events in the game ### 2/5 — What Happened? *2026-05-06, version 2.6.7* This matching game is/was really good to play. Recently it lost the mini games and rewards that have always been there. I’ve had this game for a long time and all the sudden it all the extras were gone.. ### 4/5 — For a while the only game I have is the *2026-04-10, version 2.6.7* Are the people in your life that you are ### 2/5 — 95% of the time there is an issue *2025-10-05* For several weeks it was you can’t claim the daily prize twice. Particularly the 7th day one that has 50 moves. This week it’s the dream journey side game with 21 hours left and you can’t play anymore. I can only assume next week will contain another issue. ### 2/5 — Disappointing *2025-07-12* This game was fun in the beginning but now it’s just a mess. When new events come out it often shows as me completed them already so I can’t even do the event and get rewards. If support actually response then I have lost time to complete the event and get rewards. Then I was a little excited about the last two little mini games they added which one was a dragon event… it was really great until I learned as u are watching a video to get more bombs the dragon is still moving so you lose either way. The one now with you placing items in the room where it goes is difficult bc while your trying to place the item in the room the background is moving as well. Don’t get me started on how impossible you have made it to finish the fishing event. Saved up so much energy just to make sure I can complete it yet the last three days of the event I only need to finish one fish and you make sure I kept getting the same fish. I love this keep but I am just a bout done. ### 2/5 — Needs an update *2025-07-03* Every time I click on the pencil and notepad bc I earned enough coins, the game gets stuck. Just about every time I click on the twenty free lives, nothing happens. Seems to be more and more bugs that need fixing as the game goes on. ### 2/5 — Liz *2025-06-28, version 2.5.3* Just downloaded this game and already has frozen twice! ### 3/5 — Награды *2025-06-06* Постоянно играю, очень нравится все в целом, но раздражает то, что нельзя получить награду за рекламу. Зависает и крутится загрузка, в итоге ничего. ### 2/5 — Story cards and seasons *2025-05-16* You get all these cards (purple ones) to add to the next season and it takes for ever for it to populate. I have like 8 of them just sitting there waiting. Takes up room on my board. Don’t make the cards available if it’s going to take forever to start and be able to use them. ### 3/5 — pretty gfx *2025-05-10, version 2.5.0* was looking for a merge game with more food options but this is pretty other than that 🤍 ### 3/5 — Ежедневная награда не берется *2025-04-15* Зависает на награде, не забирается Приходится выходить из приложения Но при заходе заново уже её нет ### 2/5 — Extra games…joke *2025-04-08* The extra games, for example the Egyptian escape right now, requires orders completed that let you get axes. I have five orders on the board. I have zero chance of getting an axe bc it’s not available for those orders. Why even have that game, if you’re not giving the player even a chance to win anything. Makes no sense. ### 3/5 — game glitch *2025-03-28, version 2.4.8* the game was addicting i’m a level 25 but for some reason the dockyard generator for the boats says it’s recharging for 20175 days which is insane if anyone knows how to fix please help ### 4/5 — Fun game but…. *2024-12-09* There is room for improvement, the biggest is the inconsistency in the dialogue for the story line. For starters some things get lost in translation and don’t make sense, second some of the dialogue is assigned to the wrong character when speaking. Recently they referred to a character by the wrong name (Phil instead of Faye) so that adds to the confusion. I’m still unclear on the main character, Haley, back story. Second, I’d like to see liked items in the storage grouped together by type. Developer would do well to reference Merge Mansion for this and others ways ti improve game play. ### 4/5 — Love it but…. *2024-11-11* I love this game. Im constantly playing and enjoying. But it’s been couple of days that my album disappeared and I don’t know what to do with all the pictures the game giving me. Pls help me 😉 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Dead end *2026-07-13* Game was decent when I started playing but now I’m at level 68 and it’s stalled out . No new areas no new events. Absolutely nothing to keep me motivated to play this game consistently.I’ve updated it several times and nothing has changed so I don’t know what bugs they have supposedly fixed. ### 1/5 — Не грузится *2026-03-05* После обновления не грузится ### 1/5 — 95% of the time there is an issue *2025-10-09, version 2.5.9* For several weeks it was you can’t claim the daily prize twice. Particularly the 7th day one that has 50 moves. By the way…STILL AN ISSUE This week it’s the dream journey side game with 21 hours left and you can’t play anymore. I can only assume next week will contain another issue. This week it’s the cannons quit shooting on the color dragon side game. ### 1/5 — Перестала работать *2025-07-04* Игра перестала запускаться. Экран загрузки доходит до 100, висит и выдает ошибку ### 1/5 — Customer service *2025-06-17* Have had issues and tonight game froze and wasn’t working at all. I wasn’t sure if was on my end so deleted and reinstalled. Game was still down. When it did come back up I was restarting from square one! Very unsatisfactory! And customer service doesn’t even answer so what’s the use in contacting them! ### 1/5 — Disgusting *2025-01-05* The game is not advertised as what it actually is, when seeing all the ads it shows one part of it that you think would be the main game and it’s not, it’s a small mini game within the game. Along with the mini game having 2 names for each person to represent their cards. You’re labeled as “flag” as your cards are all different flags and the opponent is labeled as “food” while all their cards are different DOGS. absolutely disgusting. ### 1/5 — Groan deleted after 1min VERY TINY worst merge game *2024-12-10* dialouge too long SO TINY and i have good eyes ### 1/5 — So disappointed *2024-10-14* Have had no issues and enjoy the game. I had a issue with this last update messing up one of the events. I emailed twice and never received a response. Now the event is over and I am screwed out of all the event rewards not to mention the money I spent for the event. I am very sad and disappointed. ### 1/5 — Ugh *2024-08-30, version 2.1.1* The amount of pop ups for events and stuff to buy is ridiculous. Can’t even log in and start playing. I stopped counting at 12 pop ups this morning and just deleted it. Waste of time. ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2024-07-20, version 2.0.9* This was a game I was playing daily. I was enjoying it. Now it says no network connection. I tried all the things and still nothing. I am not the only person with this issue. Time to delete the game, boo on the developers not fixing the issue. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — F off and get out my face I am a *2026-04-05, version 2.6.6* But the government said the government ### 5/5 — What happened?? *2026-04-01* Love love love this game. Sometimes more than I'm willing to admit. But for the last day and a half I haven't been able to get on. It just keeps saying lost connection. Pls help!! ### 5/5 — Fun and relaxing game! *2025-10-30* So far, game is fun and you don’t have to buy anything. I hope it stays that way! ### 5/5 — Не все предметы появляются в заданиях. Недочет *2025-09-17* Все награды за рекламу только с впн. ### 5/5 — My favorite *2025-03-28* If they ever adding anything I’ve enjoyed it’s been the Emerald castle! I’ll have to say this is the most fun game I play and I play many!!!! ### 5/5 — Enjoyable *2024-12-01* Fun little game. I like that you can watch ads to get more energy. ### 5/5 — Okra *2024-10-27, version 2.1.4* Really enjoyable game ### 5/5 — Great game only one thing *2024-10-22* I love this game great designs for all the cards you can collect! It’s easy to get lives and not have to pay for it. I don’t think I’ve had any ads, I’m on level 16. I would say, one time, I got about 3,870 rewards from a side game with maps and it was timed so I let all my gems and such build up to that amount. I had to click it all individually to accept- so I clicked 3,870 over the course of a couple days to accept close to 4 thousand gems. I’m excited to get that much, don’t get me wrong! It would be cool to have a collect all choice for instances like that. Other than that I really enjoy all aspect of this game :) ### 5/5 — Needs better updates *2024-06-01* Really love this game, it is fun and cute with great events and rewards but I miss the choice of decorations and the latest story updates have not been in English. I realize you are trying to provide timely updates, but what is the point if they don’t meet the previous quality of the game. Still giving 5 stars because even despite the story updates, I play every day and it is my favorite game. That’s how much I love it. I barely need the story at this point. But seriously please bring back decorating choices. ### 5/5 — Great game! *2024-03-30* I have played many match 2 games and I have enjoyed this one more than most. Sometimes the dialogue is a little weird but it seems like a translation issue. I really like the mini games and events as well! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
