I have installed the app, deleted it and installed it again to no avail. when I open the game it does not fully load no matter how long I wait. too bad, as it looked like fun.

Nothing like the adverts and has the cheek to advertise as "no fake ads" and "no false gameplay". Don't waste your time.
almost unplayable... the length of both sides of the screen quickly filled with events and "deals" awful
STOP WITH THE 10 POP UPS EVERY TIME YOU OPEN THE GAME YOU GUYS ARE INSUFFERABLE
Do NOT waste your time!! I installed the game after seeing the ad which stated that players would receive a FREE $100 in-game package; THE AD LIED!!! I'm so sick and tired of these games saying one thing in their ads, then they don't keep their word!! I'd be VERY leery about the 5* ratings due to how they don't have a problem LYING! If you installed the game, after seeing their ad, with the hope of getting a FREE $100 package, uninstall it immediately. Google needs to delete these LYING GAMES!
nothing like the ad
Playing for 25 days and have barely broke even (Freecash rewards vs in-app purchases). Next reward is only $32 and I won't make it without spending more. Way too little bang for your buck for a convoluted story line and glitchy game experience.
Another game that's nothing like the ad or images. Advertised as a slide match game and gives you that for 30 seconds then switches up. unacceptable.
So expensive.... when I am at 8 boost it should ALWAYS be a higher item.... or after I've spent so much money on "packages" or diamonds.
O jogo é péssimo! Chega um momento que é impossível você jogar sem pagar algum dinheiro.
it started out fun. I used to merge drinks while waiting on my energy to grow. the merge of drinks is no longer on the game. I tried support to ask and they want me to suggest something new for the game. I spend alot less tome in the game now
irritated that a the game you choose isn't actually the game that is downloaded. This isn't the game advertised
Doesn't stay open for longer then a few seconds
not into this demonic drama, thought it was just merging drinks together but no it has soap opera bs in it. didn't even get into playing and installed because I'm not into this demonic nonsense.
another merge game that wants you to spend crazy amounts of money to progress. you run out of energy in like 30 seconds. zzzzz
The ad said that without the internet works, infinite energies. But it doesn't. Cheated. I delete it.
Constantly crashing... suggesting that I contact you through the app when it's constantly crashing isn't really helpful. tried restarting and all the usual fixes producing no change. app stays up for about 30 seconds no matter what you do...
The game doesn't match what was advertised on Instagram.
why isn't the game available offline?
I can't even load the game. Reboots, reinstalls, killing the app doesn't make a difference. Sad.
All good with graphics and what what. You get 100 energy bars. cannot go far at all with it. you need to purchase from the game to get somewhere and I am not going to do it again sorry. play time less than 5 mins. Going to delete sorry
Developers are trying hard to loot the money by making the game difficult and reduce the prizes😂. What a shame. Totally GARBAGE. You can't complete the cards set until you pay the real money. Now the master bank needs to buy a VIP pass to get it. I have more than 20 master banks but I have to pay to collect them. You can't complete a single order in 24 hours. It becomes more difficult now and you can't enjoy it without PAYING. PAY TO WIN. USELESS. UNINSTALL IT.
I downloaded this game on a Galaxy A16 and it won't open. it just shows a spinning icon at the game splash screen.
seems like they trick you to download the app. by making it look like its something else.
this app is not working starting it will be working well but after sometime it would be not working properly so, dont install it and don't waste ur time and wifi on this type of games.....👎
boring game
i can't open the app anymore
Game never actually starts, just an hourglass spinning. Uninstalled, reinstalled, checked for updates...nothing worked.
I liked it until it automatically makes me use either four or eight times the energy when I don't want to. I have not figured out the way to deactivate this feature. it automatically starts itself whenever I get over a certain energy level. edit: it NEVER turns off, even if I'm under 100 units of energy. seems like this may be a bug needing to be fixed? per the pop up, it should only activate over a certain number.
the worst money grabbing game ever. this is horrible after u pass lvl 100 u cannot progress without killing your wallet. the devs are greedy dark holes ,u can barely do 1 order in a day. u want gems for energy haha good one . u have 100 energy which depletes in 30 seconds. the events are impossible to do. do yourself a favor don.t install . u hit the paywall around lvl 20 i was a retard trying to give this game a chance and got to lvl 150. DON.T BE ME , DON.T WASTE TIME ON THIS
I honestly don't have an opinion of the game play. Mostly because I never got to play. The app kicks me out after the second merge in the tutorial. I have tried several times to play. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the game twice. Still, the second merge in the tutorial and boom game just gone! Like I had never even opened it. I would report it in the game, but I can not even get to a point to be able to try that. Waste of time. Edit: I can not reach the in-game help option.
app opened itself and started downloading in background, so I have automatically unistalled it, will never trust an app that does that.
why would you put an add on a video streaming platform to click and collect 5000 free energy when its not real, so disappointing to see this kind of behaviour from developers. I wish I could upload the screenshot of the ad 😡😡😡. Fake and misleading behaviour! I used to like this game a lot before this....
Game won't even load. No matter what avenue I open it from it still sits on the loading screen for several minutes and then crashes.
still will not open and how am I going to use the in game help center, if your game will not open and tells me leave and come back, uninstalling your game, please fix your game,looks like it might be fun to play, I see more comments telling you the same as I am telling you, fix your GAME!!!
after you get to level 30, it converts the "trucks" tools to your backpack, so it says. the tools just disappear. waste of time. I dont even want to give 1 star.
over 100 energy to complete 1 order of 1 item?? no thanks. that's how they make their money.
Editing my review because I got 11 pop ups before just entering the game this morning, before doing anything. I counted. Not only is the original issue still happening, but twice this week I have even lost out on those little star bonus item things because I've been interrupted by pop-ups and forced into a different screen. This game is so full of event pop-ups that you cannot opt out of that it just makes it too frustrating to play anymore! :(
the ad system for this game is broken. over and over I try to watch an ad to boost energy but the game just restarts after the ad without awarding the promised energy. uninstalling today.
had to keep buying energy. the reviews said endless energy! I was deceived and I don't like it. the game looked fun and interesting but I am not gonna spend 8.00 dollars for no energy I spent 2.99 twice and got very little energy..deleting this game and I want my money back!!!!!!
downloaded the app from their ad but didn't get $100 free game props
I play this game on my phone and was rapt to see its available to play on my desktop so I downloaded it but ESET said it contains a red threat which it removed and then after installing it, a pop up message said something about an android emulator and refused to open so I've uninstalled it. Disappointed.
good and fun. but very expensive. it can be played only in short time because the price to buy energy and prolong the game is very expensive. not recommended to play in long term. you have to spend too much money to buy energy. so if you looking for a game to play in long time, no need to bother to download
I got a new device since my other one was not working properly and you cannot save your progress from one device to the next. how to start all over again. should be able to pick up game progress where you left off.
okay
4/16/26 UPDATE: STILL NOT BEING AWARDED ENERGY after Watching Ads! The game crashes after you back out of the Google Play pop up screens!!! Rip off game, wants 12.99$ for a boost. LAME
the game is exactly like any other merge game. which is fine but of course the advertisement lied. there is not unlimited energy. you can not continuously play through all levels.
very slowly evolution
nice story. but too many events to complete at same timing with limited life span. end up it becomes too boring n make it not interesting at all
