But there’s so many ads and pop ups I don’t really get to play. ### 2/5 — So. Many. Ads. *2026-09-04, version 1.0.0* I tried this game from another app, and usually I like to give a game a thorough go before deciding if/when to spend money on it. I made it to level 8 before giving up. Ads are popping up every few seconds to minutes, play time is so short, and it’s not worth the hassle to give it an honest go - and not worth paying to remove ads to see if there’s anything worth interacting with on the game. A big disappointment. ### 2/5 — Ads are disruptive *2026-09-03* The ads are disruptive to the gameplay loop, making the game nearly unplayable without paying to remove them. It’s obviously common to have ads in games like this, but the timing and constant flood of them makes this game a hard pass when there are a thousand others exactly like it without disruptive advertisements ### 2/5 — Too many Ads *2026-09-02, version 1.0.0* I like the game just too many ads. ### 2/5 — Too too many ads *2026-08-29, version 1.0.0* For every 10 to 30 seconds of play, you get a 15 secondto 2 minute ad. That is no exaggeration. Just too, too many ads to make this what would be an enjoyable game enjoyable. I know ads help pay for the game, but there’s so many that people get frustrated and decide not to play the game and delete it. Just post ads less frequently so we can at least finish a level without seeing multiple ads. You have removed all the fun ### 3/5 — Game on *2026-08-26, version 1.0.0* I like it but I think we should be able to get a little more points for the hits after matchups with the different products. Good game ### 3/5 — Ads are ridiculous *2026-08-24, version 1.0.0* Due to having a paid “remove ads” option they make the ads as annoying as possible to get people to be fed up and pay to remove them. I appreciate games that only have ads if you want additional features vs this one that pops up an ad constantly in the middle of game play. It takes away from getting even a small chance of enjoying playing the game unless you want to pay them. ### 3/5 — Too many pop up ads! *2026-08-23, version 1.0.0* Too many pop up ads during the play. I don’t mind ads between levels but popping up constantly is annoying ### 4/5 — Ads *2026-08-23, version 1.0.0* Too many Ads make you not want to play ### 1/5 — Ads ads and more ads *2026-08-23, version 1.0.0* Don’t download this game. ### 1/5 — Ads Are Unreal *2026-08-23, version 1.0.0* The ads in this game are freaking unreal. Big pass ### 3/5 — Too many ads! *2026-08-23, version 1.0.0* You can’t play the game for more than 20 seconds without an ad popping up. Fun game otherwise ### 1/5 — Mega *2026-08-22, version 1.0.0* Too many ads between the merging ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2026-08-21, version 1.0.0* This game gives you ads every minute, you can’t play at all. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ads are disruptive *2026-09-09, version 1.1.0* The ads are disruptive to the gameplay loop, making the game nearly unplayable without paying to remove them. It’s obviously common to have ads in games like this, but the timing and constant flood of them makes this game a hard pass when there are a thousand others exactly like it without disruptive advertisements. I would understand ads when passing a level or finishing a makeover, or to speed up progress (renewing generators, popping bubbles). Also, had to update my review to 1* because when I went to watch an ad voluntarily to renew a generator, it said “loading.” Also a common feature in these games that you sometimes have to wait for more advancement ads; why this lowers the rating of this game particularly is the gameplay loop breaking ads have no such cooldown. Immediately after being told to wait to watch an ad; one of their ads popped up and interrupted the game. May have to report the app to Apple because it is clearly not meant to be a game but an ad platform for Kalshi. Furthermore, the contact options and developer website are laughable with absolutely no content except links to ToS, Privacy Policy, and an email link. Quite suspicious ### 1/5 — Obnoxious *2026-09-03, version 1.0.0* The most obnoxious of all merge games I’ve played. Ads pop up constantly and without warning. If you enjoyed having a computer virus in the 90s then you’ll love this game. ### 1/5 — DO NOT INSTALL, WAYYY TOO MANY ADS *2026-09-01, version 1.0.0* Every single time you finish an order there’s an ad or every 30 seconds to a minute there’s an ad. SO ANNOYING ### 1/5 — Unplayable *2026-08-29, version 1.0.0* This is the first and only review I’ve ever given a game, but it was so amazingly frustrating I had to delete it immediately. I get ads are a part of these types of games but 5 or more ads per level is egregious. You can’t move two pieces around without an ad popping up. Impossible to complete levels in any sense of a timely manner. Ridiculous. ### 1/5 — Ads ads ads! *2026-08-27, version 1.0.0* I reckon I get more ads than actual gameplay. $9.99 to actually play the game without being disrupted every minute is absurd. Bit of a shame. ### 1/5 — Ads are relentless *2026-08-26, version 1.0.0* I get an ad for every four merges I make. About every 20 seconds of playtime, you have to watch a 30 second ad that will exit the app into your browser as well. You watch more ads than you play. ### 1/5 — Too many adds *2026-08-26, version 1.0.0* Too many adds ### 1/5 — ADS *2026-08-25, version 1.0.0* An ad every five seconds. Unplayable trash. ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-08-23, version 1.0.0* Would have been a great game but far too many ads to be enjoyable ### 1/5 — Way too many ads *2026-08-23, version 1.0.0* An ad every couple of plays ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great fun! *2026-09-08, version 1.1.0* Really great game, engaging enough to keep you going. No lagginess and works really well! ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-08-31, version 1.0.0* Fun merging game! ### 5/5 — Good game! *2026-08-30, version 1.0.0* Fun to play. Can see it being a very playable game! ### 5/5 — Great *2026-08-29, version 1.0.0* Great game ### 5/5 — Fun game *2026-08-25, version 1.0.0* I really enjoy this game ### 5/5 — Cool Game *2026-08-18, version 1.0.0* Easy simple game that you can play time and time again 😌 ### 5/5 — Enjoyfulll *2026-08-11, version 1.0.0* You will love the different types of food and other things you can make. ### 5/5 — To many ads *2026-08-10* Can't do more then 5 minutes without have a minute long ad playing. Very annoying ### 5/5 — New for me *2026-08-03, version 1.0.0* Very stimulating ### 4/5 — Game is fun hate being forced to do in game challenges *2026-09-05, version 1.0.0* I enjoy these types of games but I hate that when it comes to the in-game challenges you cannot exit out of them like other games when you open the game. I would exit out then all of a sudden dude pops up and basically says go here. Then tells me to go here and then do this. Which is the same for every in game challenge and then I can exit out and go make my orders. I get it’s part of the game but the in-game challenges are a little pushy and too frequent for me. Other than that the game is enjoyable --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
