    The graphics of the game have received overwhelmingly positive feedback, with many users praising their beauty, cuteness, and vibrant colors. Players appreciate the detailed artwork and the overall aesthetic appeal, often comparing it favorably to similar games like Merge Dragons.

  • monetization
    324 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the high cost of in-app purchases and the aggressive push for microtransactions. While some appreciate the option to watch ads for rewards, others feel that the game becomes nearly unplayable without spending money, leading to a perception of it being a cash grab. Overall, players desire a more balanced approach, with some advocating for the ability to earn premium currency through ads rather than relying solely on costly purchases.

    • “Kudos for being able to gain progress at a steady pace without requiring users to make in-game purchases like other merge games.”
    • “A pretty enjoyable game and although it does have in-app purchases, it doesn't punish you for not buying.”
    • “No ads, and possible to enjoy without purchasing anything if you are patient.”
    • “The cost of the in-app purchases is probably the highest of any game I've ever played.”
    • “Extremely manipulative tactics to convince you to spend way too much money on in-app purchases to make progress, especially during events.”
    • “The monetization is so in-your-face that it barely feels like a game.”
  • story
    188 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is generally appreciated for its charm and cute graphics, but many players find it repetitive and frustrating due to the heavy reliance on premium currency (gems) for quest progression. Users express dissatisfaction with quests that require spending gems, which are difficult to earn without real money, leading to a slow and often stalled gameplay experience. While the storyline has potential, the execution is hindered by excessive monetization and a lack of engaging content, making it feel like a pay-to-win scenario.

    • “I love the super cute animation and the story the game goes along with.”
    • “Such a great and relaxing game recommend this one 100% I enjoy playing in the garden and the map quests with relaxing puzzles and challenges along the way.”
    • “Love the graphic and game story.”
    • “The story is slow-paced, but that's fine; I wish they'd expand the point storage used for playing the story.”
    • “There's a storyline too, but it's broken and you can't progress in it.”
    • “The gems thing is ridiculous; eventually, you'll get quests that force you to unlock chests using gems or skip quests using, guess what, more gems.”
  • stability
    169 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability has been a significant concern among users, with frequent reports of freezing, crashing, and lagging during gameplay. Many players express frustration over losing progress and items due to these glitches, particularly after updates. While some users note improvements, the overall sentiment indicates that the game remains plagued by stability issues that detract from the overall experience.

    • “No glitches, no stalls like similar games.”
    • “Game runs great.”
    • “Amazing! The game is awesome, no glitches, lags, or anything. It's a great game!”
    • “But lately it completely freezes in a level and then makes you repay to continue the level it kicks you from.”
    • “When I first downloaded this game it worked like a dream, but after I close it the first time and try to open it again later, it always freezes at the loading screen and I can't get in at all no matter how many times I try.”
    • “I would give this game 5 stars but it freezes quite a bit and that can get annoying especially when you're trying to merge.”
  • gameplay
    159 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally described as fun, addictive, and visually appealing, with a mix of simplistic mechanics and engaging challenges. However, many players express frustration with the "pay-to-wait" mechanics, which significantly limit playtime and progression without spending money. While the core gameplay is enjoyable, the reliance on in-game purchases and slow energy regeneration detracts from the overall experience for many users.

    • “Based on gameplay alone, this would be a solid 5/5 game.”
    • “I love the gameplay and how simplistic yet challenging it can be.”
    • “The gameplay is fun, and the graphics are lovely; I especially love the garden gameplay, it's a lot of fun, I highly recommend.”
    • “I really want to like this game, but the 'pay-to-wait' mechanics are absolutely awful and there's very little you can do at a time.”
    • “Gameplay is throttled so hard unless you pay for premium currency.”
    • “The game is boring; there's really nothing to do. You get 5 minutes of gameplay, then that's it because you have to wait for your life to refill. I don't recommend it.”
  • grinding
    64 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The grinding aspect of the game is widely criticized for being excessively tedious and time-consuming, often requiring significant real-money investment to progress effectively. Players report that while the game can be enjoyable, the slow pace and repetitive nature of grinding detract from the overall experience, making it feel more like a chore than a fun activity. Many users express frustration with event requirements and the lack of satisfying rewards, leading to a sense of burnout and dissatisfaction.

    • “The progress to unlock land in my garden has been ridiculously tedious.”
    • “The game is enjoyable but it costs too much to play without being tedious.”
    • “What ruins it and makes it tedious is the level of bubbles you have to collect and how quickly 10 and 500 power clearance jumps up to 5000 and it takes the speed and fun out of the game.”
  • music
    27 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is widely praised for its relaxing and cheerful qualities, enhancing the overall experience with a magical and soothing atmosphere. Many players appreciate the vibrant visuals that accompany the music, although some express a desire for the music to continue playing during certain gameplay moments.

    • “Such a satisfying game with wonderful music and colorful design.”
    • “The music is divine and relaxing.”
    • “I love the bright colors and relaxing music.”
    • “The music won't play anymore and now I can't get my stylus to drag elements in the game.”
    • “I love this game but it won't let me listen to my music.”

  • optimization
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

  • emotional
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players express a mix of emotions while engaging with the game, ranging from joy and fun to frustration and disappointment. The game's wholesome nature is appreciated, but certain events can evoke strong feelings, such as sadness over missed opportunities, highlighting the emotional investment players have in their experiences. Overall, the emotional responses are tied closely to gameplay mechanics and event limitations.

    • “And I failed; I was so mad I cried.”
    • “The love is in the air event was horrible. I cried for 10 minutes because it was only 2 days long. I really wanted the prize, but I was 300 roses away, and then it was 256 gems or something. Great job, creator; you are mean.”
    • “It doesn't take too much concentration to play. It's just an easy, fun, wholesome game that you will love!”

  • replayability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users express frustration with the replayability of the game, suggesting that events could be more engaging if they were structured like challenges. The high requirements for completing events, such as healing large amounts of land, are seen as discouraging and detract from the overall enjoyment and replay value.

    • “Make the events more playable. If we merge correctly, we can have more creatures. I can never finish the events; the last part requires 15,000 and 50,000 to heal land... that is just mean.”
    • “The lack of variety in gameplay makes it hard to want to replay the game. Once you've seen everything, there's not much incentive to go back.”
    • “After completing the main storyline, I found there was little to draw me back. The side quests felt repetitive and uninspired.”
  • character development
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Character development is praised for its engaging execution and appealing designs, particularly highlighting the unique character of the peacat, which has left players eager for more.

    • “I love how the character development plays out, especially the designs like the peacat. I hope to discover more!”
