Sinon j’adore l’application ### 3/5 — Where’s an update?? *2024-03-11, version 1.36.460* Why hasn’t there been an update in months?? It’s become really boring because it’s the same tasks over and over again. ### 2/5 — Game *2024-01-27, version 1.36.460* OK here’s the suggestion maybe you should let the player. Play the game on their own. having the stupid hand or finger however you wanna put it show you and tell you how to play the entire game is obnoxious and it’s not fun to play the game, so please take the hand away and don’t force us to play that way.. we know how to tap the thing we know how to do the things so let the player play instead of telling you how to play the whole game. It would be a lot better game if that wasn’t there. ### 4/5 — When is it going to update?? *2023-12-04* It’s a fun game but it hasn’t been updated with new levels so it’s getting kind of boring and you can’t really go anywhere. ### 3/5 — Ads *2023-07-31, version 1.35.450* Ads problems ### 1/5 — Stupid ads *2023-06-10, version 1.35.450* Don’t bother there are too many pop up ads. I don’t mind if I can get an item by watching an ad but these ones just pop up randomly and I’m so sick of games that do this just let us know before we download it, give us a choice. ### 3/5 — Running out of energy *2023-05-13, version 1.35.450* Doesn’t give much energy, ads don’t give much either. Please sort game out. Thanks ### 3/5 — Too many ads *2023-03-26, version 1.35.450* I love this game but unfortunately will delete because it has too many ads. If I had the option to watch them for extra stuff that would be different but right after a move it just comes on. Don’t like that. Thanks ### 1/5 — ´ *2023-01-25, version 1.35.450* Les pubs incessantes sont vraiment très pénibles. Je vais très certainement désinstaller l application. ### 1/5 — Ads *2023-01-21, version 1.35.450* pop up ads every few min… ### 1/5 — SLOW *2023-01-11, version 1.35.450* Try to get new items. It takes very long time to get needed pieces. Can be frustrating. ### 2/5 — Won’t update *2022-12-09, version 1.35.450* I’ve been waiting for close to 2 weeks for part of the game to update. Really enjoy the game but if it doesn’t update soon I’ll have to delete it . If it’s fixed I’ll change my rating ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Riverside *2025-12-15, version 1.36.460* I used to love this game but it seems like it has gotten to the point that you have to play every minute to be able to get what you need. It sucks ### 1/5 — Aesthetically lacking *2025-12-01, version 1.36.460* The makeover the tennis not really that satisfying. Quickly lost interest ### 1/5 — Stalled *2025-10-11, version 1.36.460* Frustrated. It won’t let me level up past 70.

It is no longer fun to play. Their game algorithm is to keep throwing things into the mix with little space to spare for it. It’s become annoying to play. One makes only baby steps in progress. It’s a snooze fest. ### 1/5 — Update *2023-11-27, version 1.36.460* Update the game absolutely useless if ya can’t go no higher than level 70 ### 1/5 — Ads *2023-07-07, version 1.35.450* Force plays ads doesn’t even ask permission absolutely not , immediately uninstalled ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It ok game I like it so much thank you my son got me this game we play together on different device *2026-05-06, version 1.36.460* I have played so many merge games but this one is the best thank you ### 5/5 — Riverside merge Built a city *2025-06-09, version 1.36.460* I love the game very much ### 5/5 — Need update please *2023-07-31, version 1.35.450* I’ve gone as far as I can go level wise but I know there is more I’m stuck at level 70 and can’t really do anything else right now.
