The monetization model of the game is largely praised for its lack of intrusive ads and paywalls, allowing players to enjoy the game without mandatory purchases or constant interruptions. While there are optional ads that can be watched for rewards, many users appreciate the ability to play extensively without spending money or dealing with energy limits. However, some players have noted the presence of expensive micropayment options and occasional annoying ads that detract from the overall experience.
“No ads, no pressure to purchase anything, actions don't require 'energy', you can spend hours playing if you want.”
“Lovely game, no ads, well made and well balanced - highly recommend.”
“No ads, no energy to refill, and while I have spent some money to support the devs, it's not necessary.”
“There are no forced ads, no 'prize' ads, but it does have rather expensive micropayment chests and annoying 'refer-a-friend' spots that can't be unblocked any other way.”
“Only downloaded to give a 1 star review for the most obnoxious ads I've seen recently, including opening the play store page in the middle of the ad without user input, and then when you close it making you sit through it all over again, as well as multiple countdowns and taps to finish.”
“Overall I love this game but I need to invite a person to unlock something that is so annoying and really disappointing... if I need to see ads sure I can but if I need to invite a person I would rather not unlock that thing...”

“This is an awesome merge game I would recommend, but there's one slight flaw with it: the graphics are awful. Not sure what went wrong, but everything is so fuzzy and I don't think there's a way to adjust it.”

Overall, the gameplay is described as cute and visually appealing, with smooth mechanics and relaxing music. However, players express frustration with the potential for soft locks, limited progression options, and the need for real-life friends to participate. While some appreciate the lack of aggressive monetization and frequent updates, others feel that the gameplay can become stagnant and repetitive over time.
“Smooth gameplay, relaxing music, and good progression.”
“Cute creatures & calm & enjoyable gameplay!”
“Beautiful pieces, good gameplay (especially as a common merge player), and playing without a commercial interrupting me constantly, amazing play.”
“With no option to get rid of them except earning special tokens (which are scarce unless you buy them), the board fills quickly with no room for gameplay.”
“The gameplay is cute and has a plot, but it becomes slow and plodding, and it's possible to soft lock your progress by making a poor choice because you didn't know you'd need something later.”
“Had potential, but the gameplay is frustrating because the animals and floaty people are constantly hovering or sitting on top of items on the board, and I can't see what's there.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessively tedious, with some merge chains and resource balancing issues contributing to the frustration. While the game is enjoyable initially, the repetitive nature of grinding can lead to a loss of charm and motivation, especially when progress feels stagnant. Additionally, the requirement for friends to unlock certain features adds to the grind.
“Some merge chains are unbelievably tedious, and there are balance issues in terms of resources versus quest requirements. It also requires friends to join to unlock minor tiles.”
“This game is very grindy.”
“It was so fun at first, but it gets tedious after a while.”
