DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DOWNLOAD, UNLESS YOU PLAN TO SPEND SOME $$ ON THE GAME...I did the math and...For 1 FREE energy to generate to your gameplay, it takes 2mins...Keep in mind that your FREE energy is capped to only 100 energies...and at 2mins per FREE energy to regenerate, it'll take 3hours and 20mins to fill 100 energies of FREE play...AND THAT'S NO WHERE TO BEING ENOUGH TO MAKES BASIC LEVEL ITEMS...So you either wait another 3hrs and 20mins for the next 100 energies, or YOU HAVE TO BUY IT...👎
this is NOT the game in the adds bro
fake ads when u enter the game it's not the same as u saw in the ads..cursed to whom who created the fake ada just to promote this game
Not helpful customer service
nothing like the ads. nothing wrong with the game it self, but not what I wanted. especially misleading when the "owner" assures us in the ad that the game we see is what we'll get but it's not. very misleading!
the gzme is good buf cost money for extra energy
i haven't played the game, but I have to keep watching ads saying, "gossip harbour is that game!" or "this game is completely free with 0 ads!" I suffer with anxiety, ADHD and autism. and games like this makes me feel anxious and uncomfortable 😣😣. I would not recommend downloading unless you like in app purchases and loads of ads! waist of money and time! just rediculous.. games like this should be reported 🤬🤬
It showed a particular game and is now showing a total different game after I have already installed it.
False advertising. 🤷
I no longer receive the free ads because i made a purchase. They completely vanished. I would really want them back.
not what the ads show
nothing like the ad
Nothing like the ad.
Even when a game says it's free, no ads, and not falsly advertising, it still is? Just give me the game I was interested in!!
a SCAM game, bc the gameplay/storyline doesn't match up with the ads they show. (homeless mother w her dirty daughter). in reality it's just some pick me who thinks she's the most heartbroken fragile chick named Quinn who got her restaurant food poisoned by someone. no homeless wreck nothing. to save your time, it's just a typical merging game who needs annoying energy that takes decades to fill up. During events, u're js competing w bots that's designed to win, unless u spend billion energy
this game is basically like the other games like it's still not even close to the adds because it's like a bakery game insted of the saving the family there are some part that I even date say close but it's not the game don't get fooled
NOT like what the ads depicted!
False advertisement
You Privacy contract is not acceptable. I understand there is some information you require, but this seems beyond just having the ability to play your game. You shouldn't need all of what you are expressing in your policy. However, I appreciate you being forthcoming letting the public know of your ability once accept is hit. Sadly, this is not something I agree to. Therefore, if you have any of my information, please delete it because I did opened your game where it asks you to accept
After requesting an opportunity to watch ads to not pay money and watch ads for energy boost the developer did it. That was pretty cool, Thank you. At risk of not sounding grateful the 15 lightning bolts per ad makes it at least 24 to 25 ads to watch to do the 400 coffee cups I need for one drink to serve an only make 40 coins. The chorus cost 150 & most the time its not to fix anything its just the neverending story.
this game has every annoying thing just like every other game except the ads.
This is not the same game at all as shown in the ads. I'm betting they could get sued for false advertising. For a merger game, it's undoubtedly good, but that's not what I wanted when I downloaded it after seeing the ads.
Not what is advertised . so boring. no direction of game
nothing like the previews and ads
Starts off fun, but as you progress you can't get anywhere without spending a ton of money.
Makin lama butuh pake duit terus untuk enjoy mainnya. Segera cari game lain aja.
the only thing thats the same as th adds is the fact you merge things, the story isn't even the same and it has unnecessary adds
more fake ads not the real game.
I am so tired of all of the ads for this game. I will not be playing games that show destitute women and children in pain and close to death.
False advertisement
this is the second time you people are debiting my money without giving me what am I paying for . I paid for gems and energy I was debited for the purchase but it was credited and I paid again and was still debited ... this game is becoming annoying ... please check your system and restore my purchase
After 10 minutes of play, I uninstalled this game. Just like Matching Story and Township, this is a pay to play game, which is fine and understandable, BUT, when you can only play a few short minutes before running out of energy and said energy takes a long time to replenish, the game then becomes a money grab. No thank you, I'll pass
Nothing like the ads
fake ads
Cute game, but the further I get the more energy and merging to get the orders. Got too costly, uninstalled 🙄
Ads are now very intrusive as they either don't have a timer or the timer doesn't work
Hard to complete missions when energy takes forever to renew. dont get anything as in prizes when missions end. Just hard to merge things when you have to wait forever and it also doesnt give you all your items. when it says tou have 1 energy left you really dont
way too many ads, plus I have to watch the annoying ads to get a measly 15 energy boost. 2 rating, not recommending
run out of energy fast, not enough tokens for the little games
