Another Low Tier Merging Game
Sorry excuse of a merging game. I play so many of them and it’s ridiculous to see how long it takes a generator to reset after you finish using them. There is no balance at all to this game and they make it impossible to make room on the board because they always give you useless generators you have to merge up. Nothing like the advertisements for this game where you’re on a food truck and have to chop up ingredients and serve them. They will say it is for a previous in-game event and that they apologize for the confusion but they are well aware of what they’re advertising. You basically have to do in-app purchases to progress at a steady pace and I would recommend any other merging game over this, lol.
Doesn’t allow you to shut off the tutorial
This app is ridiculous, treats you like your a moron does not allow you to shut off the very annoying and unnecessary tutorial won’t let you go anything but follow the finger. It’s not playing a game for entertainment it’s a forced set of steps
High advise getting about any other app over this one.

Vulgar Ads
My 7 year old son likes to play this game with me and the ads that pop up are so outlandishly inappropriate for what I consider a kids game. It’s all wolf romance novels and the latest ad talks about how “big creatures are gonna f* you to prepare you for your mate, your mate will be there watching because that’s his thing”. What the actual heck.
Not like the add
Not like the add at all. Very disappointing
So disappointed
There used to be all kinds of freebies that made the game enjoyable. They were all recently taken away. I’ve played this game for a long time and used to really enjoy it. Makes me so sad that the game has taken a turn for the worse.
Fun but not worth the price
I really enjoy this game but, I have spent $50 in the last week to play. The developers seem to be really greedy! My energy credits run down way too fast because you only get the items you need every 5+ clicks or so. On top of that you have to get several items that can take forever and just burn all those credits. You only have so many clicks and then you have to wait 30+ minutes to get anymore unless you buy the gems. When you don’t buy any energy you get one every 90 seconds up to 100, you don’t get that when playing on the purchased energy. I have never had to pay to play so quickly on any other games I pay for. I just think it’s a waste of money to run out so quickly. Unfortunately, I won’t be playing this one anymore.
Overall fun
This game is colorful and very fun. I have spent a lot of time playing and even spent money. My only complaint is I see that their support doesn’t respond. I accidentally sold something needed for progression when cleaning up the board and haven’t received any response to emails or even an acknowledgment they received my email. It’s really unfortunate since i really do enjoy playing this game! I made it up to level 60 and can’t move further now.
Was great for a week
I started playing this because I found it on my kashkick app. I loved it and was very addicted to it. I got up to level 45 pretty quickly within a week, but then it became absolutely ridiculous. The items that you needed to come up with four items needed different levels of the same item you needed for the next menu item. So you could spend all your energy and all your coins on one thing trying to get it. Level 44 was my last completed level and it will be my last plate level.
Do not download this game
I’m about to uninstall this game for the last eight weeks every time I play for seven consecutive days I get to the seventh day and it gives me 100 energy it does not put it with my energy so basically it takes it right back. I have tried to contact them about this and have not heard anything back. I am very frustrated.
