### 4/5 — Good

*2026-09-07, version 2.12.1730*

I enjoy this game and play often however the amount of pop up in app purchase cues at the start of the game are getting ridiculous. You can’t play until you get through them all which is detracting from simply enjoying the game can be up to 10-15 pop ups at a time

### 3/5 — The energy

*2026-09-07, version 2.12.1730*

it takes so much energy to complete orders once u get to level 30+ and now i have to wait 10+ hours to do 1 hour because u get 1 energy every 2 minutes so for 100 energy is every 3 hour and 20 minutes and that doesn’t even cover a 3rd of the order, if the developers could raise the cap or make it recharge faster then it would be better but right now it just looks like a cash grab with how many pop ups come up and with how little energy you actually get

### 3/5 — Board full. Inventory full

*2026-09-06, version 2.12.1730*

Can progress from level 32 as board and inventory is full. Please help

### 2/5 — Fun until it cheats

*2026-09-06, version 2.12.1730*

This game is a fun and addictive merging game, however, there’s been quite a few times where I’ve been cheated out of rewards and with the biggest, most recent one being today I am no longer playing this game. As I was working for quite a while towards merging items to one of the last in the category to get 2 starfish (because when you get 12 starfish, it throws a bunch of free pieces on the board) I got so close and ran out of energy so I purchased one of their packages to get more energy, and as soon as I made the purchase, the starfish disappeared on the one that I was working on. All the other rewards that I’ve been cheated out of have been in the side game, where you move through the forest expecting to get a certain reward at certain points and then once you get it, it vanishes.

### 3/5 — Too many pop ups

*2026-09-06, version 2.12.1730*

This game is fun once you get past all the notification that you have to click away when you first open the app. I usually have to close about 10-12 popups each time I start the game. With this weekends Labor Day events I literally had to click away at least 20 pop ups notifying me of different challenges, events, and awards. It has become completely ridiculous.

### 3/5 — You can’t enjoy this game without money

*2026-09-06, version 2.12.1721*

This game is definitely addictive, but I would not recommend it. Once you reach the higher levels, it becomes very difficult to enjoy or make meaningful progress without spending money.

Energy refills extremely slowly. When you run out, you can either watch an ad for a very small amount of energy or spend money purchasing diamonds to get more. At that point, it essentially becomes a pay-to-play game.

The most frustrating part is the item production system. The algorithm seems intentionally designed to make the items you actually need harder to obtain. I have gone through 100 energy multiple times using the same producer without receiving the item I needed. Meanwhile, it continues producing items that are not useful for completing my current orders.

This creates a cycle where you burn through your energy, make very little progress, and are then encouraged to spend money to continue playing. What starts as a fun game eventually feels more like a system designed to push purchases than reward gameplay.

Play at your own risk. It can be entertaining, but once you reach the higher levels, expect slow progress, frustrating item drops, and constant pressure to spend money.

### 3/5 — Fun Game

*2026-09-05, version 2.12.1721*

Fun game.. but have to go thru 3-8 pop ups for energy, ect  before playing the game is annoying. Used to pop into the game and play a few rounds.. now after all of the pop ups .. don’t really want to play as much since it takes so long to go thru the adds. Other than that a fun game

### 3/5 — basically have to spend money

*2026-09-05, version 2.12.1721*

would be more fun if you could play in ten minute intervals rather than play for two minutes and then be bombarded with ways to spend money to get more energy

### 4/5 — Probably the best merge game

*2026-09-05, version 2.12.1721*

Love your game!! I’ve tried many merge games and honestly I prefer this one the most. I just absolutely miss the mystery/detective side quests (such as the New York one, not sure how to describe them). I do like the current ones, but the mystery ones just had something to them. Please bring them back!!! I haven’t seen them in a while :(

### 4/5 — Not my type but great

*2026-09-05, version 2.12.1721*

It’s a great merge game but merging isn’t really my style. I would recommend this app best out of all the merging games. If you like merging, download this!🤗

### 3/5 — Pay to Play

*2026-09-04, version 2.12.1721*

I like this game but there are a few issues that cause me to play less and less
The latest update enhances the pay to play experience. It is harder to get the daily treasure that I looked forward to because it gave me more energy without paying. You burn through energy quickly. The side quests are fun but unattainable to complete unless you pay. To add, there is an ad around every corner and it’s difficult to X out of them. Attempting to X out of the ad leads to just clickbait. Plus the ads play with volume which makes it difficult to play without alerting people around that you are playing a game.

### 3/5 — Crashes a lot, suddenly closed

*2026-09-04, version 2.12.1721*

After I have updated the game, I got too many crashes, game suddenly closes and got back to Home Screen for no reason, IPad is last version, please solve that, ty.

### 4/5 — Game is great

*2026-09-03, version 2.12.1721*

I don’t even spend money on games, but I do on this one. One thing I have to say is if the ads to get energy are not fixed, I will be deleting this game. That’s annoying asf. But overall fun game, I just need my energy fr. That’s the whole point of the game. Give me my owed energy, 5 stars.

### 4/5 — Fun but frustrating

*2026-09-03, version 2.12.1721*

Love this game but the sheer amount of pop ups when you open the game is absolutely ridiculous. Trying to quickly use up your accumulated energy is near impossible when you spend the first 5 minutes after opening the game closing pop ups! Why can there just be a notification tab once the game is open to look at in your own time and allow me to quickly use up my energy. The ads take over your audio player too, so if you are listening to music or a video in the background it sometimes closes it and replaces it with the ad audio. So even when the ad is closed it’s still playing in the background. You then have to come out of the app and go close and re open your audio app. Soo frustrating. On a few occasions it has just kept the ad audio playing over the game after the ads closed so now I have a mix of my music and the ad audio lol. There is some very dodgy coding in this app. It gives you free 25 energy when theres an update so you don’t get the energy as you’re forced to update and the energy isn’t added afterwards. Randomly popping up pop ups whilst playing too multiple times is soo annoying! The game is very fun and I love playing it daily but it does get very annoying with all the pop ups

### 4/5 — Absolutely love this game.

*2026-09-03, version 2.12.1721*

I spend a lot of free time on this game, it’s very addicting! I just wish they would reduce the pop ups as it feels overbearing when you’re just opening the app. Another thing is, I wish I had an option to either partake or not partake in some of the challenge. Some challenges you have to do and won’t get a break until you win a round. Other than those two things, a really fun game.

### 2/5 — Used to be fun

*2026-09-02, version 2.12.1721*

Game can be addictive and fun but you have to spend money.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Please stop

*2026-09-06, version 2.12.1730*

Stop the pop up windows, far too many, very off putting, I might delete because there are just far too many

### 1/5 — Recent changes

*2026-09-06, version 2.12.1730*

The recent updates have impacted duplicate rates, trading dynamics, and overall progression. Used to be a fun game to play, now it’s just stressful. I don’t recommend.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-09-05, version 2.12.1721*

I dislike how it was tracking completed levels for money then when it time for the big cash deposit they act like they not tracking my completed missions i don’t understand why they waste people time thinking it okay

### 1/5 — Problem with deleting account

*2026-09-05, version 2.12.1721*

I do not recommend this game. The process of deleting it is a nightmare. Usually, games allow you to delete your account and data, but this one forces you to provide an email address and then asks for a lot of additional information instead of simply deleting the account as stated in the form. What's more, you can only communicate via email, and only with an AI. The game itself is designed to push you into making as many purchases as possible; otherwise, your progress is painfully slow.

### 1/5 — Bad Optimization

*2026-09-04, version 2.12.1721*

Here’s the thing: I was enjoying this game. I was enjoying it a lot. HOWEVER the game does not read clicks well. It would glitch and spend the freemium currency I earned on things I was no where near clicking. Wtf. There is no way to undo a purchase like this. So, hundreds of gems gone due to glitching. I should have a screen come up to use my gems, but clicking in the corner where the X appears, and still spend the gems not just once, but MULTIPLE TIMES on a screen that allows one purchase. And this happened several times to me. I’ll run out what I have, but then I’m done. I’m not playing this anymore. Spend any money and it gets wasted on these stupid glitches. 

Don’t get your hopes up. I’ve played other games like this that haven’t ever had that happen.

### 1/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD

*2026-09-04, version 2.12.1721*

THIS IS A SCAM!!! WAS CHARGED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE NOT EVEN USING MY PHONE AND DID NOT RECIEVE A REFUND!!

### 1/5 — Total scam

*2026-09-03, version 2.12.1721*

I spent well over $100 on energy packs and still couldn’t finish the jungle part. Turn back now. Do not waste your time or money on this. It is an absolute SCAM and completely dishonest and greedy.

### 1/5 — Dishonest and disappointing

*2026-09-03, version 2.12.1721*

Game is ok but they advertised on fetch you would get bonuses and cash. Which in the beginning I got. Until they owed me $70 for the last task. They ghosted me. Fetch was of no help.

### 1/5 — Update goes nowhere

*2026-09-02, version 2.12.1721*

Ticked off

### 1/5 — Another game ruined by greed

*2026-09-02, version 2.12.1721*

These developers chose greed over consumer enjoyment.  
They get paid and they get exposure from so many of us playing the game but it’s not enough.  They want more money so they’ll ruin your experience by making you have to either spend money or wait a long time to play.  
These kind of greedy developers ruin so many potentially good games.  They choose afew extra pennys over a legacy of more people playing their game. 
We need more developers that are in it for the love of the consumer. Not these greedy ones.  Very disappointing on a game that had potential.
