★★★★★ "Not a bad game really. The recipes are unique and not boring. My only issues are it takes over an hour for a recipe to "cook". Your board fills up quickly with generator parts. I currently have 4/7 rows full of generators right now. That's …" - Valarie Steadman

GG.it seems to stall pass lvl 80.I go on all time to try to maximise energy regen and the free+25 ad breaks,who seem to disappear.you spend more than 10 gems on 100energy(next 100energy is 20gems.and then free 25energy ads stop)there was a bunch of free basket inventory UNLOCKED at certain lvl milestones,but that stops.Theres a WHEEL event that PROMISES GREATREWARDS OFFERS 1 FREE SPIN, always ends at the same 30-40speedups.done it 4 times(4 free spins at the start of 4 "seasons".scam. 🚫=💰
game not as advertised. advertised as a match puzzle
good
stars remain the same. a year later and it seems so pointless. it takes almost 2 or 3 days to complete all of the orders. and the task list seems pointless after a while. I'm on the Japanese restaurants, and spend more time on one order than I do playing the entire game. what is the point!?
Hello Support, I need help recovering my Merge Cooking account. I played for over a year and spent money on the game. After changing phones, my progress was lost and my account restarted at level 1. I tried logging in with Facebook and Google, but my progress did not restore. please note that I do not have access to the old phone. I emailed on 25 and 29 April with no response. Please assist me in restoring my account. Kindly let me know what info you need from me. Thank you.
horrible,
I joined because of an ad. false advertisement, its nothing like what was portrayed in the ad
setelah pembelian yang lain harus beli juga
absolutely in no way related to the ad
can't stand when you have various levels of the same generator, absolutely no need for this. useless and confusing. could be a nice game. uninstalled.
Might raise the review if the problem ever gets fixed. It's a great way to kill time but I'm so sick of the fact that I lose progress almost every time I close the app. I'll make matches until I'm out of energy and get close to my end goal of a certain level of item, close out and wait for more energy, only to open back up to see that item is levels lower than it was when I closed it. Do better
Not a bad game really. The recipes are unique and not boring. My only issues are it takes over an hour for a recipe to "cook". Your board fills up quickly with generator parts. I currently have 4/7 rows full of generators right now. That's excessive. so, not much room for ingredients. you can purchase more slots, but really? The other issue I have is each recipe is a lot, so it could potentially take you over a day or 2 just to complete 1 recipe and you have 8 to complete so.. that's excessive.
After all of my gems are gone, I think i'm moving on to a different game. At this point it is not worth continuing to play. I had hoped that as you progress and level up, your energy regeneration would also increase, but it does not. I just used over 500 energy (spent 60 gems) and still did not get what I needed to make ONE drink. this far into the game there is no progressing without spending crazy amounts of money. ingredients cost wayyy to many gems in the shop.
dont like nothing exciting.
to many ads and freezes to much
this app is fun, but it requires way too much money to play. every time you renew energy, the cost to renew the same amount of energy doubles, then triples. It's a total scam. 👎👎👎👎👎
I agree with most of the other players of this game. The amount of energy needed to merge and fulfill orders, does not match the energy amount. It runs out quick and replenishes real slow, specially with some of the orders requiring quite a bit of it. and the generators? They don't help much with regenerating anything. I'm thinking the amount of energy you start with has to be increased when you reach a certain level to match the energy required to complete orders.
boring It was a struggle to keep playing . finally I couldn't take it and deleted.
This is a fun game but it is VERY aggressive with trying to get you to pay to play. There are constant pop-ups encouraging you to buy things and the game is clearly designed to limit your game play when you won't. There is no clear explanation anywhere regarding how long generators take to recharge or how many items a generator at a certain level will make before it needs to recharge. It seems arbitrary and based on what items you need at the time. It gets frustrating and unenjoyable very fast.
