The ad rewards make you watch a long ad and then ends up freezing right at the end and the only way out is to forfeit the rewards and quit out.
not offline
i still stuck at the " refreshing the inventory " T^T
I had the same issue as other players where I had been playing for months then an update forced me to reinstall the app. after that, all progress was lost, account was lost, and was told even purchase history wouldn't allow for account recovery. was really disappointed and couldnt recover $ purchases that happened days before the issue. ** in response to the creators comment. when the issue occurred, customer service and Google were contacted and I was told I was SOL, even with proof.
The max energy started at 170, it was lowered to 150, and now it's 100? Clearly all you want from your players is to give you money for energy and no gifting a cat isn't going to make up for all the bad changes that have been made to this game
Just way too many limitations. First of all it is based on limited energy that has to recharge over time or be bought. That alone is tolerable enough. But on top of that there are item generators that are time locked. You have to pay or watch an advertisement to be able to skip the time. More space in the inventory also has to be bought. And then there is gacha wich seems hard to get a hold of tickets for. So those things combined are just too restricting for me.
basically changed the whole game in the last up date. I like the first game I was playing this second one is annoying AF.
Update removed previously earned bag slots,max energy, and mats; made progression harder and less rewarding.
The game just had a massive overhaul and changed all its unique systems into the systems of every copy and past merge game out there. 0 out of 10. I'm bummed. It's lost just about most of its uniqueness.
Disgusting amount of insentivising to pay, it seems like the game keeps bringing new systems just to have more and more ways of monetising the game. I haven't even been playing for a full week and I already feel like I'm drowning in different deals and offers. The art style is cute but gameplay is just another merging game just with elements of gacha added on top
it's cute but i didn't play for a while a had a lot of process with the cats and soup collection cats and stations stuff but I update to play again and suddenly it's a completely different merge game and if I wanted that I wouldn't play a cats and soup game which was a unpleasant suprise
I was so excited for this game but honestly very disappointed. misleading, thought we're gonna make magic potions or something but this is just another merge game.
I hope we can play it offline
this is a average game 🥲
I loved it until the newest update today. It changed the entire game. Uninstalling now 😥
This used to be an amazing game when it first came out. But they have changed the board. It has made it less challenging and boring. Im really freaking sad. It's terrible!
