### 5/5 — Updates please!

*2024-10-31*

I love this game.   By far the best merge puzzle ever.    Please make more like this!

### 5/5 — Really fun game… however

*2024-06-06*

This is the type of game thats really entertaining, however its easy to lose track of the day while playing.   So play it, but be careful not to lose track of time.

### 4/5 — Please fix the tournament bug

*2023-12-02, version 1.21*

Some of us still play this game, is really helpful with stress relief but the frozen board bug in the tournament is making it hard to not stress.

### 5/5 — One of the Best

*2023-03-11*

I’ve owned this game for many years and played through it several times. There are no other games quite like it - I’m always looking for another match 3 with this depth and playability. If you like thinking a bit more strategically than the “candy crush” type games, this is the game for you. Love it!

### 5/5 — Love this game

*2022-12-13*

This game is just amazing, every-time i play it i feel more full-filled, download it right now

### 4/5 — Highly addicting

*2022-09-26*

Can’t believe this game never got more popular. 
There are definitely some issues and nothing screws you up more than the sausage trio but I can’t stop playing this game.

### 5/5 — 10/10 would recommend

*2022-04-27*

I have been playin this game for around 6 years. Making finished products to sell to the NPCs is a great mechanic and keeps me coming back. This game already has a lot of content and is clearly a finished product but,  It would be nice if the game was updated to fill in the rest of the screen. Still trying to discover how to make all the legendary weapons, made one on accident and have been workin towards completing the set ever sense. 10/10 would recommend

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2022-01-28*

Addicting, tricky enough and I like the humor :)

### 5/5 — Finally doing this.

*2020-09-20*

I've had this game for several years and thought it wouldn't be on the App Store by now, but I was shocked to find out that it was not only still here, but also only had 73 reviews! Honestly, I couldn't recommend this game more. It's stayed fun for several years, and though I don't play it as frequently as I used to, it's one of the games that has stayed on my iPad the longest. I love this game so much.

### 1/5 — I really did like this game but ..

*2020-03-31*

It says it’s 9 years and up.  I think parents should know that if you were to read some of the comments that’s the characters speak it’s filthy foul language I wouldn’t want my child reading very disappointed.
