  • story
    1,203 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in the game is described as intriguing but frustratingly slow to progress, with many players feeling that it lacks depth and coherence. While some enjoy the light narrative and character interactions, others criticize the game for its misleading advertisements that promise a more engaging storyline than what is delivered. Overall, the gameplay mechanics overshadow the story, leading to a sense of tedium as players often find themselves grinding for items without significant narrative advancement.

    • “The storyline is intriguing, just gives enough to keep you guessing, at one point it seemed like endless grinding, but now with more areas open, it does not feel like work, as I can work on getting multiple items for multiple tasks.”
    • “I like the story line that goes with gathering the items needed to fix the mansion.”
    • “The story is interesting, I love mysteries and old houses.”
    • “The plot is somehow both nonsensical and nonexistent, so definitely don't come for that.”
    • “The story progresses very slowly that you even forget there was one.”
    • “The story line is so slow also.. I've been playing for about 6 months and on level 35 and about done messing with this game.”
  • monetization
    646 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization model of the game is generally well-received, with many players appreciating the absence of intrusive ads and the option to play without feeling pressured to make in-app purchases. However, some users express frustration over the slow progression and energy recharge times, suggesting that they would prefer the option to watch ads for rewards instead of relying solely on paid purchases. Overall, while the lack of ads is a significant positive, the game's pacing and reliance on in-app purchases for faster progress are common points of contention.

    • “It's great that you have no ads, and the game structure seems pretty solid.”
    • “No ads, and it's entirely possible to play this game without any in-app purchases!”
    • “I love it; no advertisements to get your goods. It needs hard work, and that makes it more addictive.”
    • “The ads are misleading and suggest a much more engaging game than what is actually delivered.”
    • “The game is nothing like the ads; it feels like a cash grab with unrealistic timers and heavy reliance on in-app purchases.”
    • “Despite the charming ads, the gameplay is slow and lacks the excitement that was promised, making it a frustrating experience.”
  • gameplay
    235 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Gameplay in this game is characterized by a simple merging mechanic that many find satisfying, but it is often hindered by slow progression and restrictive energy systems that limit playtime. While some players appreciate the lack of ads and the game's graphics, the frequent need to wait for resources and the linear quest structure can lead to frustration and a sense of stagnation. Overall, while the core gameplay is enjoyable for some, the pacing and monetization strategies detract from the experience for many players.

    • “The gameplay is the main star of the game; making objects grow in level by merging them together is satisfying, and so is discovering new items that produce things to merge together.”
    • “I've been playing for more than a year and a half and enjoy the gameplay, events, and daily quests.”
    • “The gameplay loop is satisfying; you have a sense of progress as you make your way through the areas of the mansion.”
    • “The gameplay is very linear; you usually have one area open with one or two quests available.”
    • “The gameplay is extremely repetitive and boring.”
    • “The game has both an energy system to make you wait and time-based items to make you wait - the core gameplay is not even worth coming back to, as it lacks any challenge and is quite tedious.”
  • graphics
    220 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the graphics of the game are widely praised for their clarity, colorfulness, and charming art style, contributing to an enjoyable visual experience. Many players appreciate the beautiful and cute graphics, although some express dissatisfaction with recent updates that altered the art style or caused performance issues. While the visuals are generally considered a strong point, concerns about gameplay pacing and progression often overshadow the positive feedback on graphics.

    • “The graphics are amazing.”
    • “I love the graphics, the story line, and the extra games.”
    • “The graphics are cute, and it's well made...but it's sooooo boring.”
    • “If you can throttle a Snapdragon 888 with this level of graphics, you are doing something wrong.”
    • “The game/graphics itself seems like an old platform kind of thing.”
    • “Interesting game, annoying updates, very careless updates often affecting the shop section, graphics more refined but different artist style makes the graphics look ugly.”
  • grinding
    135 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The reviews indicate that while the game starts off engaging, it quickly becomes tedious and grind-heavy, especially at higher levels where players often find themselves stuck grinding for experience points and items. Many users express frustration with the slow progression and repetitive tasks, leading to a sense of boredom and a desire to uninstall. Despite these criticisms, some players still find enjoyment in the gameplay, particularly in the early stages, but acknowledge that the grinding aspect can detract significantly from the overall experience.

    • “One of the best games so far. It may be repetitive at some points, but it's not tedious. You need to manage all items to complete the tasks. It also doesn't have ads, which is a huge deal because every developer now adds some ads. They clearly value their gamers. P.S. I hope the game is offline though.”
    • “This part of the game is a grindfest, a tedious chore.”
    • “The game is fun, but grindy, and earning coins has become near impossible without spending money, which I imagine would be hard for new players.”
    • “After level 17 or so it becomes really grindy, where you combine things just for the XP and not tasks.”
  • stability
    135 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The stability of the game has significantly deteriorated following recent updates, with numerous users reporting frequent freezes, crashes, and unresponsive screens during gameplay. Many players express frustration over the inability to load the game past certain percentages, while others mention that glitches often lead to accidental item consumption and repeated actions. Overall, the game's stability issues have rendered it nearly unplayable for a substantial number of users, overshadowing its otherwise enjoyable aspects.

    • “No glitches or anything tech-related.”
    • “I'm still new and no glitches so far.”
    • “There have been no glitches or problems so far.”
    • “However, since the September update, it hasn't opened on my phone (Google Pixel 6); it just freezes up and crashes.”
    • “Been playing this game since it was released and I have loved the game from day one, but the reason I have given it 1 star is because every update that is released makes the game worse with glitches and major issues from crashing or freezing up. Now with the newest update on 9/14/2022, it has gotten so much worse that I can't even load into the game; it loads to 33% and then I get an error message.”
    • “I loved this game, but ever since the last download, it freezes and lags so much that I can barely play it.”
  • humor
    27 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is a standout feature, with many players praising the hilarious ads and funny dialogue that enhance the overall charm and enjoyment. While some users find the story cheesy or frustrating at times, the comedic elements and quirky character personalities contribute to a lighthearted experience. However, there are mixed feelings about the game's updates affecting its humor and playability, leading to some dissatisfaction among players.

    • “The ads are hilarious, which was why I downloaded the game in the first place, but I kept playing it because of its charm.”

    • “I'm so pissed it's not funny.”
  • music
    25 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with many praising its calming and relaxing qualities, while others find it repetitive or even depressing for the game's context. Some players appreciate the new tracks and the overall pleasant background music, but there are calls for more variety and a more upbeat tone to match the gameplay. Overall, the music contributes positively to the game's atmosphere, though it may not appeal to everyone.

    • “The music is relaxing, the story is interesting.”
    • “I love the beautiful music.”
    • “The latest music in the game is amazing as well.”
    • “I love a good merge game, but this one takes too long. Also, why is the music so depressing? I have headphones in, and I'm imagining being a depressed girl trying my very hardest to fix my granny's mansion. I should be having happy, uplifting music, not some weird, depressing stuff.”
    • “No music, barely anything to do, and while the illustrated art is nice, the in-game assets are boring and don't completely match them.”
    • “But I wish there was a selective amount of soundtrack, as the chill one just goes over and over repeatedly.”
  • optimization
    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, user feedback on optimization is mixed; while some players report significant improvements in performance and smooth gameplay following the latest update, others experience severe lag, overheating, and crashes, particularly on older devices.

    • “Since the last update, performance is poor.”
  • replayability
    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, players express frustration with the game's replayability, citing issues such as limited playable content, non-replayable story events, and obstacles like bubble items that hinder progress. While some appreciate the addition of events and resources like wikis that enhance gameplay, many feel that the lack of new levels and the inability to replay completed events diminish long-term engagement. Improvements in storage and upgrade options are also suggested to enhance the overall playability.

    • “I feel like they've done a lot of work to make it more playable and more fun to play.”
    • “Don't have to pay to play, no forced ads, the events are replayable and it's got pleasant music.”
    • “Addition of events makes the game much more playable.”
    • “I am at what I would consider 'max' level - where I reach a point there are no more playable areas, and it's literally a few days and a new area has been created/completed and sent out as an app update.”
    • “The story events are no longer replayable once the ultimate goal is completed.”
    • “Edit: been maxed out on level 40, as someone who's never spent money on this game, it's a bit disappointing that the last 3 updates have all been holiday events and not more playable levels for the house.”
  • emotional
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players express a mix of emotional engagement and frustration with the game, highlighting its enjoyable story and mechanics while also experiencing heartbreak due to technical issues that reset their progress.

    • “It's honestly downright annoying and heartbreaking because this is one of the nicest merge games I've played in quite a while.”
    • “I enjoy the silly story, simple mechanics, and the space management being mildly infuriating is a good litmus for my mental/emotional well-being.”
    • “However, it locked me out at level 29 and said I needed to download the new version. When I did, it had me back at level 1... I seriously want to cry.”
  • character development
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Character development in the game features unique and individual progression options, which players appreciate, particularly in the merging aspect. However, some users find the character design to be unattractive, though this does not significantly detract from their overall enjoyment of the gameplay.

    • “RPG, individual unique character development.”
    • “I like the merging part and character design.”
    • “Also, the character design is a little ugly, but I don't play this game for the plot, so it doesn't bother me much.”
