Stuck in a loop

Midas merge
Fun but over priced. You barely get gems! Plus you never get jackpot spins.
Ew
Used to be great until they went full AI nonsense
Player beware
THIS GAME WILL ROB YOU!!!! I wanted a $9.99 play and they charged me $33.85 .. I haven’t gotten my money back yet..
AI slop
Stop using AI.
Used to love it.
So disappointed in the game design. I understand chance and I understand making people work for a game, but someone to the game getting items I haven’t seen in the two years I’ve been playing, to invite someone to the game and have them have to play 10 levels to unlock one character and not even get it? I don’t see the draw any longer. I really liked the game, but it won’t be one I pick up any more. Really disappointing.
Zero.
The high review is from bots. Please don’t download. It is a scam.
Ai slop
Thought it was cute at first. I was willing to look past the hoards of in app purchases, up until the ai. Can’t support you as an artist, do better.
Liar
I have this game on the big iPad. There’s nothing like the poor person thing. There are such stupid liars a different game style and it’s about merging and there’s no sense blah blah blah. Do not get this game please it is so annoying and stupid. Hey, guess what? I’m deleting it on my other device sorry developer response You can’t undo it😡😡😡😡😡😡😡🤬🤬😡😡🤬😡😡
Garbage game
I only played this for the cash rewards offered on another app and this didn’t pay out. It is way too tedious to be enjoyable without getting paid for it.
Worst ads ever
Deleting this game due to your latest ads
Glitchy and freezes
I used to LOVE this game. Since mid December, the game glitches and freezes after a few minutes. It even freezes my entire phone. It seemed to be getting better, and then the latest update made it so much worse
Not playing again
The game was fun. But, I’m not here to just talk about this game. That new game about savanna wildlife merging? That one you used AI for the art, claiming that you were low on funds? You could hire real artists. You don’t need a million dollars to hire just one. Enough being dramatic though, I need to get to the point. I’ve used this game as an escape from reality (just like other people) to have fun and spend time. But since I saw those horrible ads for your new game, I’m keeping my distance. AI steals jobs. You can use AI for worldbuilding and inspiration, maybe generating images for fun, but using their products to save money? You have crossed the line. Way. Too. Far.
Loved this game but…
Fun and easy time killer. I love it! But lately it freezes and my whole phone is frozen. I have to do an almost shut down to get out if the game. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and still freezing. Please fix!!!
Today my phone froze for about 5 minutes and nothing was bringing it back. Uninstalling for good now before my phone is permanently messed up!

Update the app
Not letting me play. Update the update on the app.
You can invite friends and won’t receive anything!
I invited a friend they downloaded the game and are still playing. I never received the gems and the stump still hasn’t unlocked. I reached out to the help center and they responded with a lagging issue which is not the problem. The form makes you put and issue and there’s only two options. Please take the time to read inquiries properly and you would have seen that I even provided the Id referral code that was sent to my friend.
Midas merge
I got the app Midas merge and it’s sooooooooooooooooo boring
The slots mechanic ruins it
I really do enjoy this game. The principle is exactly what I want from a land-based merging game: grinding and organizing, cute little critters, bonus events, all of it. But I absolutely can NOT stand the slot machine mechanic. It ruins the whole experience of the game, especially since it's
mentioned nowhere that it's a pivotal part of collecting resources. I'd give it five stars with a "would rate six if I could!" title if it weren't for that. do the developers have even a shred of shame?

Let’s not be greedy
This was and could be a great game. I’ve gotten well into the levels and it’s entertaining and engaging to a point. BUT. The money-grubbing is over the top. I’m running out of room to store my items because I don’t have enough in-game currency to open chests for rewards. But the only way I’ve found to even approach having enough is to spend actual dollars. It’s excessive. To the point that I’m not interested in playing anymore. I’m not against having to grind to earn currency, but there’s no way to manage how many chests you earn vs the space to keep them vs having enough currency to open them. The money-grubbing is overt and disgusting. I was willing to spend some money to progress in the game, but on my own terms, and for fun, not out of necessity to move forward in the game. I genuinely don’t think I can keep up with the number of chests I earn vs how much actual money it would cost to open them and free up space in the game. I’m really disappointed. You had a good game. Do better.
Crashing non stop
I love this game. It’s a great way to relax or relieve anxiety, but lately the game completely freezes the phone. You can’t shut it off and you have to wait for the game to crash before being able to do anything on the phone
Game keeps crashing
I absolutely love this game and have been playing it for a while, it truly is addictive! BUT when the IOS 26 update came out the game CONSTANTLY crashes every few minutes. I do not want to stop playing but it’s impossible to play when it freezes up your phone for minutes and kicks you out all the time. PLEASE fix this, very disappointing.
