★★★★★ "AI Slop. The gameplay is fun and pretty well balanced but the art is all AI slop. Very inconsistent style, poor rendering of characters, incorrect anatomy, etc. If they actually make real art for this game I would come back in a heartbeat." - Reese Z.

★★★★★ "Uninstalled immediately. Game was fun for about 5 seconds….until the aggressive merge hints could not be disabled. There is a setting to turn merge hints off, but it doesn’t change anything. Wanted to like this game but this is a total dealbreaker, sorry." - iamrobotique

AI Slop

fraud
this game keeps taking my money without me purchasing anything. i haven’t played this in a long time and they just took my money.
Log in now impossible
Been playing and paying (gladly) but then I got logged out and I couldn’t get back in without giving up sensitive information. Felt hacky so even though I loved the storyline and the gorgeous graphics, I am officially taping out on this one.
AI Art is so BAD
The whole opening is just bad AI art, it’s so off putting you can’t see past anything else.
Do not let this game company on the AppStore
This game is teach people doing badly things and it is criminal game
AI ruined it
I thought it was good until I saw AI
Won’t open
I can’t even play because it won’t load fully. It opens and then never loads the game just load screen
Boooo ai
I really don't appreciate the use of AI a with some of the art!!! It's completely unnecessary when there's perfectly good models for the characters you could reuse!!!!! I like the game but actually pay an Artist!!!
AI Slop
Could have been an interesting spin on the typical merge story, but most of cutscenes and the upgrades to the tea house uses ai.
AI Generated
For an app whose advertising brags about 100+ artists working on it, you’d think they wouldn’t need to use AI so sloppy it’s obvious from the second stage. When they replace their database of uncompensated artists’ work with actual quality from paid artists, maybe I’ll come back.
Unable to access app
I am frustrated . I’ve contacted support for the full week and still cannot access the app. It’s the same problem every time and yet it takes so long for you to resolve? Have to delete the app
Crashing
I enjoyed what little I managed. Crashing when loading, crashing when selecting settings, not recognizing touch input, too many issues. Cute graphics and concept from what I could see.wish it was stable.
Game locks up non stop.
I really enjoy the storyline and fixing up the Tea house. But I am extremely frustrated with the constant lockups. I have to close and restart over and over. The truly sad issue is I cannot even go into Settings. Instant lockup. I had hoped to find a way to open a help ticket. Nope. I would pay for the beginner packs but no way while the game is so buggy. I hope they fix the issues as the game shows so much promise.
Wish it gave more power ups to play
Nice game just wish it gave more power ups to play for free without having to buy a bunch
AI Slop
I wanted to like this game but the majority of the art is ai generated. Incredibly disappointing and has ruined the game
Areas of improvement
The general outline of the game is rather solid and decent. But the tutorial was vague, ads pop up way too often, and the gifts from the dev team are VERY stingy. The merging part of the game is also way too time consuming. The stories we get with the coins are shorter than cicada’s life. NOT TO EVEN MENTION the cutscenes and some characters are just AI SLOP. This game has potential to be a decent game but as of now, it’s a 3/10.
