  • monetization
    304 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating the option to watch ads for energy and bonuses, but expressing frustration over recent updates that have significantly limited ad availability. While some users enjoy the lack of forced ads and the ability to choose when to watch them, others feel that the game has shifted towards a pay-to-play model, making it difficult to progress without spending real money. Overall, the balance between optional ads and in-app purchases has become a contentious issue, with many players calling for the return of more ad opportunities to enhance gameplay.

    • “I love merge cooking as a game, no ads unless you want to watch them for rewards, offline gameplay and just such a great fun game especially compared to other merging games.”
    • “Great game, nice graphics, no ads unless you want double rewards, fun to play.”
    • “Love this game! Coming from the USA , I have spent money on it but you don't have to! No ads.”
    • “The only negative is the massive amount of buy this bundle ads.”
    • “Removed almost all ads for extra energy/daily items etc so now it is heavily pay to play if you want to get anywhere.”
    • “This game would be much more fun if there was an option for more energy without spending real money; otherwise, it comes off as a blatant cash grab.”
  • gameplay
    37 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally described as fun and engaging, particularly with the introduction of a cooking mechanic that adds a fresh twist, though it often feels like just another timer in the core loop. Players appreciate the variety of events and mechanics, but many express frustration over energy limitations and intrusive pop-ups that disrupt the experience. Overall, while the gameplay has solid elements, issues like monetization and user interface detract from its potential enjoyment.

    • “I really enjoy the gameplay of this.”
    • “The gameplay is smooth and the cooking element adds a nice twist.”
    • “I love merge cooking as a game, no ads unless you want to watch them for rewards, offline gameplay and just such a great fun game especially compared to other merging games.”
    • “They are just too stingy with the energy; you barely get 5 minutes of gameplay.”
    • “The game is executed poorly, which is a shame because the concept and gameplay is generally solid.”
    • “Not only is this game not at all like it's advertised, it also gets very hard and very pointless after less than three days of gameplay.”
  • graphics
    25 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game receive mixed reviews, with many players praising the cute and engaging visuals that enhance the overall experience. While some find the graphics to be plain or basic, others appreciate their charm and the game's aesthetic appeal.

  • story
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its lack of depth and engagement, with many players noting that it feels disconnected from the gameplay. While the game features a casual merge mechanic and various side quests, it lacks a compelling narrative to enhance the experience, leading some to wish for a more integrated storyline. Overall, players find the gameplay enjoyable but feel that the absence of a meaningful story detracts from the overall experience.

    • “My favorite part is designing and rebuilding, aside from reading the story.”
    • “Super cool game! I just started playing it today; everything is smooth, with a good story, good graphics, and easy gameplay. No annoying ads that pop up every tick.”
    • “The game is creative and interesting, with many quests and gifts to offer, giving such a fresh feeling.”
    • “The only thing I'd change is to make an actual storyline to go along with the upgrades.”
    • “It's pretty much like every other merge game, except this one doesn't have a story to hook you in.”
    • “The story of being dumped has nothing to do with the gameplay either.”
  • music
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's music system has received significant criticism for its tendency to mute any background music players when launched, disrupting the user's listening experience. Additionally, players find the in-game music repetitive and grating, leading to frustration. Overall, while the music aspect detracts from the experience, it does not overshadow the game's overall appeal.

    • “The app doesn't necessitate sound, so let me listen to my music!”
    • “One of the few problems is it stops playing any background music or noise.”
    • “Would be five stars rating, but a few little annoyances build up to make it not as good as it could be (stops your music when you load it, lots of item bubbles show up and if you need that space you just have to wait, some general waiting times seem too long) but overall I think this is the best merge game I've literally ever seen.”
    • “My only real complaint is that, unlike every other app or game I have, this one somehow mutes my music that I have streaming when I open it.”
    • “It also stops any music or anything you're listening to after every ad, every pop-up, even if the game is muted.”
    • “The music also gets very repetitive very quickly, and it grates.”
  • stability
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The stability of the game has been widely criticized, with users reporting frequent glitches, crashes, and freezing issues, particularly after updates or during in-game purchases. Many players express frustration over having to uninstall and reinstall the game to resolve these problems, which significantly detracts from their overall enjoyment.

    • “I really wanted to like this game, but there are multiple glitches, including when you make purchases.”
    • “I loved this game when I first started playing, but now, whenever I try to play it, it just freezes and crashes. It's starting to get annoying.”
    • “I so love playing this game; however, every time I update it, it freezes. It's happened twice now where I eventually have to uninstall the game and download it again, but then it freezes when I choose my old game on my device. I'm so disappointed.”
  • grinding
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and potentially off-putting, with some expressing frustration over the repetitive nature of fulfilling increasingly difficult customer orders. While those who enjoy grind-heavy gameplay may find it fun, many users feel that the game becomes a chore, requiring excessive time and energy to progress. Overall, the grinding can lead to a sense of boredom and may drive some players to consider uninstalling the game.

    • “I spent a little money on this, but no more, and at this rate I will probably uninstall it because it is going to get too tedious and boring.”
    • “However, the orders get harder and grindy.”
    • “If you're into merge games, this one has about two days of gameplay before the only thing you can do is fulfill customer orders that are so high level it is just grinding and waiting over the course of days to have enough 'energy points' to generate the numerous low-level items required to reach an 8x doubling scale, that's over 500 low-level items to reach 8.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “The game's story left me in tears; I felt a deep connection to the characters and their struggles.”
    • “I was overwhelmed with nostalgia and sadness as I navigated through the memories of the protagonist.”
