  • story26 mentions

    The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with many users expressing disappointment over the disparity between advertised features and the actual experience. While some players enjoy the merge mechanics and puzzle elements, others feel misled by the marketing, as the core gameplay primarily revolves around farming mechanics rather than the advertised puzzles. Additionally, concerns about energy limitations and frequent interruptions from ads further detract from the overall enjoyment.

    • “I was afraid this game was not going to be fun and not like advertised, but playing it was actually enjoyable. I liked the merge mechanic, and the more you unlock, the more puzzles you unlock as well. The color puzzle is like a side feature, but I like both. The only downside is the low energy; why does everything have to be energy-based? I could be hooked and play for hours if not for the energy limitation, which is unfortunate.”

    • “Just started playing, and the gameplay has been smooth and easy to play so far.”

    • “If you were so confident in your 'wide variety of gameplay features and elements' you'd actually showcase it instead of hiding it behind 10% of the game that people want to play.”
    • “Fake advertising should be seen as scamming; what you see advertised is only a small part of gameplay.”
