★★★★★ "Money Hungry. The most money hungry game I've ever played. Every step of the way there is some pay wall flashed in my face to progress. If you don't spend money then you're completely stuck. If I could give it 0 stars I would." - LtTofu

New additional ads are BS
I have always loved this app but recently when you were trying to get more energy for playing on it, they give you one ad to watch and you do your taps and then there’s a brand new ad that had nothing to do with the first. They never did this before and if it continues, I am more than happy to delete because F this stuff. Company is just being greedy
won’t let me past the second merge
can’t even get past the second task because the game keeps glitching
Money Hungry
The most money hungry game I've ever played. Every step of the way there is some pay wall flashed in my face to progress. If you don't spend money then you're completely stuck. If I could give it 0 stars I would.
？？
Why can't I get in? The new copy keeps jumping to appsrore! I have updated it!
New event
The new event is not working
???
What happened in the most recent update? I’m spending 4x energy for 1x items! Please fix it!!!!
Gets old
No real challenges. Goal is just to get you to spend!
If I had baIIIIIz I’d cutum 0fF
You cannot contact customer service why why do you ask because they make so much money they don’t give a you know what lol
Landscape sucks
Give us the option to play the game vertical/portrait, count me in. Until then, hard pass.
Unfair trading system
Pro: good graphic, good gameplay
Con: I am about to uninstall the game as the trading system is unfair. I played and paid almost $40 usd to play a mini-game as I want to get unicorn-like animal. However, the game asked me to pick a pet. I thought it is to be given as an additional price if I win. But, no.. it replaced the unicorn!!!!! Another thing is that the exchange system for the power to play is changed according to your money. If you have 40 coins, maybe it could exchange for 10 power. If you do have 80, it could give you just 10 power as well. You have more, the cost will rise to match your wealth!

Boooooo
I hated it. It’s sooooo much going on. The game overwhelmed me. Every time I felt like I was making progress, the game jumped to another task or another island or something else. It was just doing way too much and I’m adhd so that’s saying a lot!
I mean, if you don’t have a life…
It’s beyond pointless. There is so so so much junk crowding the screen asking you to buy buy buy! It started trying to get me to buy stuff within 2 mins of starting the game. It was crazy. But they have different islands with more merging and it’s just too much. It’s too much. You spend hours doing basically nothing. And the cost to do things!! Lolol That’s why they try to sell you so much stuff. It’s 25 energy to one action. You get 85 or so energy that regenerates over time. This game is so ridiculous!! I wouldn’t bother if I were you… but maybe you’re that bored.
Cool game
It is so addicting and challenging! But they will make you think you’re going to finish a set and all of a sudden you get 2 out of the item you’re building instead of 6. So beware they take away your ability to win without buying more power.
It could be great
I can’t figure out how so many reviewers say they play for a long time. I empty the energy in 5 minutes. Seems to me it’s pay to play. Or watch an ad. I like the story but not enough to dish out $$ to play longer than a few minutes at a time.
Game
I wish I could give you guys more than one star or more than two stars but you guys seem to not know how to just leave your players alone and just let us play unless we ask for help . In the extra game when you’re playing the game, I would like to play the game on my own not have to go to the next scene and they come back and collect my reward. I want to collect my reward when I’m on that scene and then go. You guys need to stop being pushy and you need to stop playing it for us. It takes the fun out of playing the game.😢 you guys gotta do better quit playing it for us. We don’t need babysitters..
