It’s easy to earn thousands of stars to decorate bur useless unless you have building supplies. I’ve been stuck for a week now and it’s becoming ridiculous. The packs are way overpriced compared to other well established merge games and so I have no intention of buying any. I would have uninstalled this days ago if I wasn’t testing it through an online app. ### 3/5 — Serious bottle neck issue at lvl.15 on *2026-07-01, version 1.32* There has to be another way besides a once a day hour long challenge for the dog and the weekly hard challenge there’s no other way besides PAYing to get more tool kits. Y’all please? At lvl 15 at least one order besides the hard challenges could be a tool kit order 😭 so that players will stay interested ### 1/5 — Don’t bother playing *2026-06-21, version 1.32* If you’re playing on app that pays you to complete goals. Don’t waste your time. I’ve caught this game not giving experience points for completing tasks so many times that it’s ridiculous. As you progress it becomes ridiculous to amount needed to level up one level. Games a cash grab. For the amount of time you have to spend playing it, it’s not worth the little reward. You will never reach the higher level paying completions. It gives you 2-3 points for completing task while needing almost 900 points to complete level 16 only. The in games they want you to compete in are a joke with joke prizes. Games a -1 star ### 2/5 — 屋根瓦不足 *2026-06-21* マージは楽しく、お題クリアで星はどんどん貯まるのに、装飾パーツ(特に屋根瓦)が全く足りず全然進めません。イベントか課金でしか手に入らないみたいで... 無課金のポイ活でしたがLv18の案件も時間オーバーでクリア出来ませんでした。マージ系のポイ活でこんなに進まないのは初めてです。時間の無駄なのでオススメしません。 ### 2/5 — Not fun after level 12 *2026-06-05, version 1.31* This game was fun in beginning but after level 12 they send you no building supplies I’ve even bought stuff from this game and have over 1000 star and can’t renovate for 2 levels fix this please ### 2/5 — Fun early - chore after a while *2026-05-18, version 1.30* I won’t go into detail about what others have said that’s all true - progress stalls early on due to needing building materials that never come; events are I satisfy my and too hard; Way too many items and not enough variety in what customers ask for. I will however say this: WHY IN THE WORLD DOES THE GAME ALLOW YOU TO DELETE FACTORIES?!? By mistake I deleted the one that makes tools and that’s all customers ever want. I’m so over this lackluster game. ### 2/5 — Definitely a game you have to spend money to progress *2026-05-12, version 1.30* Got to level 12. Can’t get past without spending money. Game gives you occasional “lucky” pieces that fill up your board so you can’t progress. ### 3/5 — I liked this game at first *2026-05-05, version 1.30* At first I really liked the game. Now I have 1350 stars and I’ve been stuck on level 13 forever. It doesn’t matter how many stars you get because it gets to the point you need materials and they are impossible to get ### 1/5 — 強制購入画面 *2026-04-05* 「最後のチャンス」と言う文言とともにパス購入画面がポップアップ表示されてゲームが出来なくなりました。 右上の×アイコンを押すと「もう一度見る」「次回にする」のみ表示されて、もう一度見るを押すと最後のチャンス画面に戻り延々とループ、次回にするは押せない（反応しない） この表示から消すことも移動することも出来ません。 ### 3/5 — Bought some thing in the game and didn’t receive what I paid for *2026-04-03, version 1.27* Bought some thing in the game and didn’t receive what I paid for. Twice .How do I go about getting a refund or getting what I purchased? ### 1/5 — Urgent *2026-04-02* They are asking for things i don’t have and to many like 3 ceremics level 11 and 4 level 7 beehive when i don’t have the maker machine which produces them and whyy are you asking for me this much and i know this one easy but 5 final level gloves like what one time you ask for 4 shell bracelets of level 5 and 6 four of each am i your enemy like for reall whyyy ### 3/5 — Progress stalls *2026-03-21, version 1.27* This game is enjoyable up until you hit the point of level 18 or just before. You fulfill orders but the stars are no use if you dont have the materials and therefore you get stuck for days to weeks on the same ‘room’ with no ability to progress unless you pay to play. The pass also does not last a full month and the time is not specified. A fun game for a few levels but peaks before level 18 and becomes an slog ### 3/5 — Bought some thing in the game and didn’t receive what I paid for *2026-03-18, version 1.27* Bought some thing in the game and didn’t receive what I paid for… How do I go about getting a refund or getting what I purchased? ### 1/5 — Get out your cash *2026-03-11, version 1.27* You can play about 5 minutes before this game starts gouging you for cash. Made it to level 5 and said f this ### 1/5 — Won’t load since iOS update *2026-03-07, version 1.26* Two devices, four different connections and it just tells me my connection is poor. It’s not. It was fine until iOS updated so clearly the app needs an update too. Shame as I was quite enjoying it. ### 1/5 — 起動できない *2026-03-07* 突然、接続が不安定ですと表示され、全然ゲーム画面に入れなくなった。再起動しても、SIMカードをやり直してもダメ。 他のブラウザやアプリは問題なく使えるし、接続できるのに、このアプリだけがダメ。 最新バージョンだし、意味がわからない…。 サーバーの問題だとしても、もう10時間くらい経ってるけど…。 どうすればいいのだろうか。 ### 1/5 — 게임이 네트워크 문제로 안됨 *2026-03-07* 아니 pass까지 구입해서 미션달성해 하나포인트 받는재미로 하는데 게임이 안되면 pass 구입 한거 환불해줘야 하는거 아닌가? 미션도 pass 기한도 30일기준인데 이딴식으로 안되면 어쩌자는거냐고!!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — どういうこと？？？ *2026-08-20* 初めて半日しか経っていないのに 「部屋をリノベーションしてレベルアップすると、さらにタスクが解放されます」と表示されている なのにリノベするための星がない その星を得るためにはタスクを進めなければならない タスクが解放されるにはリノベをしないといけない なのにリノベするための星がない その星を得るためにはタスクを進めなければならない タスクが解放されるにはリノベをしないといけない なのにリノベするための星がない … … … 堂々巡り？もう進められない？どういうことなんでしょう… 追記 次の日また開いてみた。リノベするための星の数が調整されていたようですが、まだ足りません。明らかにおかしい。 そもそもリノベに必要な星の数と、タスクでゲットできる星の数をとんとんにすれば良い話では？ それか、タスク以外の方法でリノベするための星を得られるようにするか。マージをすればする程リノベするための星が出てくるとか。 ### 1/5 — イベント終わってもキャンディ残留 *2026-08-10* 2日前にキャンディイベントが終わった筈だがキャンディが消えず、削除ボタン欄も空白になっており削除できず。 再起動してもダメ。最新アプデはない。 別のイベントが始まり当該イベントアイコンもは消えてる。 種類が異なるのでマージもできず盤を圧迫。進ませない為にわざと置いてるのではと疑うレベル。何とかなりませんか ### 1/5 — 課金は絶対しない方がいい。16ぐらいから進まなくなる *2026-07-26* ・16付近で手持ちにないアイテムから生成しなければならないタスクがでてくる（猫の家?）。 ・他のタスクも出てこないためレベル上げに時間がかかる。 ・みなさんおっしゃっているように資材がイベントからしか手に入らず、黄色い星だけが8000も無駄にたまる（消費できないため）。インテリアの模様替えをやらなくても進めるが時間がかかる。 ・工場からアイテムを生成する際に操作されていて、偏りがある（どこかで「操作はしていません」と返信を見たが100パーされている。それまでは貝殻なんてほぼ出ないのに7つ続けて出たり。おかげでエナジーだけ無駄に消費してアイテム生成できない） ・デイリーボーナスが17から更新されない ・ビンゴのイベントで達成してももらえてない報酬がある気がする ・右上、セールのアイコンがデカすぎてタスクが見えない ・日本語の句読点の配置が間違っている。文字幅の真ん中に「ヽ⚪︎」ではなく、文字幅の下部に「、。」をおくべき。 ### 1/5 — Sorry I spent money on this one!! *2026-07-24, version 1.33* So sorry ### 1/5 — つまらん *2026-07-23* ポイ活のためにダウンロードしましたが、ゲームバランスが悪すぎて面白くないので早々に削除しました。 他にもマージゲームやっていますが、このゲームは思うようにタスクを進められないし、画面表示のデザイン(配置等)も悪く、イラストも可愛くないのでやってても楽しくないです。 ### 1/5 — Too difficult *2026-07-19, version 1.33* I played this game for money and I spent a few dollars to get to the goal on time but it’s not worth it they got it too difficult! This the 2nd time trying it and not playing it again. ### 1/5 — Games meh *2026-07-12, version 1.33* It was fun till I got stuck on level 15 because it won’t let me get any of the material I need, I need certain boxes you can’t get unless you pay for that and even then you may still be stuck on that level. I have so many stars and the only way I can level up is by getting xp on the game board honestly just delete it not worth it. I’m sure there are better merging games out there ### 1/5 — Задание Tapjoy *2026-07-11, version 1.33* Я ИГРАЛ ПРОСТО НЕИМОВЕРНОЕ КОЛ-ВО ВРЕМЕНИ ВОТ В ЭТУ ХУ@&Ю НАКОПИЛ 45 ЛВЛ И ВМЕСТО ГЕМОВ МЕНЯ ПОСЛАЛИ КУДА ПОДАЛЬШЕ ПОТОМ НАПИСАЛ В ПОДДЕРЖКУ И ТАМ НИЧЕГО НЕ СДЕЛАЛИ С ЭТИМ Я В ШОКЕ 🤬 ### 1/5 — quite disappointing *2026-07-01, version 1.32* i thought this game would be fun to play. started out that way, but goodness did that feeling tank quickly. the producers take forever to recharge, and you have no idea how long it actually takes because there's no timer. some of the producers only give out six items before needing to charge again. it's almost impossible to get necessary building items to progress in the game. i have over 4,000 stars which are basically useless, because i don't have the tape that's needed to build. very frustrating. what's more frustrating is that they rarely give items needed to merge to upgrade the producers, or even just giving items needed to make the producer in the first place. i have a customer waiting (at least three days) for an item that cannot be made because i don't have the producer to make the item. makes no sense. ### 1/5 — Fun Til its Not *2026-06-29, version 1.32* You need building materials this game does not give you any advantage to get the building materials that you need to progress into further levels. If you collect a multitude of stars, it helps further you along, but takes a long time. There’s no reason I should have over 6000 stars and can’t move forward with them because I’m not giving any green box materials that are needed to move forward ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 5stars *2026-08-02, version 1.33* I am a really fan of this game company but i need the devlopers of the game to devlope my account and boost my level to 30 pls and ill share this game to youtubers to share your game to many ppl pls boost muy level ### 5/5 — Игра безумно крутое *2026-02-11* !! ### 5/5 — ) *2026-02-09* Игра прикольная,я люблю такие,но у меня вопрос,как привязать прогресс игры к телефону?если я ее удалю и снова скачаю,прогресс не восстановится я это точно знаю,потому что уже делала,обычно на айфонах автоматически привязывается к Айклауду,как то можно это исправить,я собираюсь телефон поменять,и хотелось бы сохранить прогресс ### 5/5 — лучшая игра *2026-01-26* Самая крутая игра! ### 5/5 — Reply *2026-01-22, version 1.25* Thankkss for sending that cat bed ### 5/5 — Very good game *2025-12-03* Very good renovation game **Developer response:** Thank you for playing the game and taking the time to share your thoughts. ✨ We are working hard to bring a better game experience to players and make the game more excellent.
