Don’t Waste Your Money
First, the advertisement shows something where you have merge the items by sending it down what looks like a bowling lane. But that’s not what the game looks like. It’s a square grid and you have to merge the like items together. That part really didn’t bother me too much. But it’s the point where you only get 100 energy and it’s not enough to get you where you need to be. You end up having to pay for more energy and it’s very easy to sync a lot of money into this game. Once you merge it stops you because you need more energy and to get more energy, you have to buy it because the side games do not provide enough energy and you have to use that same energy in the side games. The side games don’t give you much rewards. You feel like you’re in a constant state of “I need to spend money to get ahead”. But the higher up in the levels you go the harder it gets and the more money you’ll probably have to pump into the game. Also, it’s designed so that you have to put money into it constantly, and if you’re the type of person who says, “oh, I’ll continue with this game because I’ve put so much money into it so far” then that’s where they have you. Don’t fall for the sunk cost fallacy and don’t waste your time money or energy in this game. The side games also look different, but they are the same game with new wallpaper. And you’re still gonna be spending money, time, and energy into something that doesn’t last very long game-wise.
False advertising
This game is nothing like the ads. It’s so interesting that the majority of the low star reviews say this and the app responds that they are sorry, but does absolutely nothing to remedy it.
Beware! No refunds no matter what!!
This game is fun but it does glitch occasionally. If it glitches when you make an exchange of gems for energy, they will not replace those gems. Customer service will argue with you until you give up. They won’t admit to glitches, they respond as if the app is perfect, and will not compensate you in any way. I won’t be spending a dime on the in app purchases anymore. Worst customer service I have ever experienced!!!!
Fake ads
Game is not as in ads or pictures
Fraud
False advertising. The game is not the game advertised. This should be taken down and the publisher band for acting in bad faith.
Not as advertised
The sliding table game in the ads is not part of the app. The app is just board based merging.
Misleading
Downloaded and played. Content was not like the add. Was hoping for a slide merge game as advertised but instead was a merge board.
Poor customer service
Had an issue that customer service refused to make right. Just kept messaging back how I wasn’t understanding how it worked. Sent screen shots and proof but they refused to give me the rewards I paid for. Quitting game.
Never ending scam
For the love of all things good, do not play this game. If you do, don’t spend your money. This game.never.ends.
You get into the swing of merging items and quickly you are out of “energy”. You finish a task and bam another pops up. So many side quests requiring energy bolts. The items popping out are random and the ones you need the most will show up far and few.
All designed to waste energy bolts so you’d buy more but get this, the price for the bolts change! You can use gems to buy them and then the amount of gems needed goes up! Now you’re buying gems for more bolts! lol It gets harder and more expensive as you level up. No pay off no reward. Save yourself.
On top of all that, it’s not even the same game as advertised. Total bait and switch. If that doesn’t tell you enough, I don’t know what will. Uninstalled immediately.

Disappointed
Wanted to play launch but the games forces you to complete all the other areas first. I didn’t want to merge shrimp bowls.
Genuinely one of the WORST merging games
Sorry excuse of another terrible merging game. Absolutely not balanced at all. I’m at level 35, and somehow only have 2,000 gold coins but somehow have 46 BOXES OF TOOLS? how does that make any sense at all? game is just sensory overload. god forbid you open the app it’s just 5 promotions of in game purchases. They know their advertisements are nothing like the game and basically lie and say you will see them in subsequent levels when that’s not even true at all. All events and minigames are merging. 100 energy every 4 hours will not help you finish even one order. Events and minigames are a waste of time you just get card packs (dumbest thing I’ve ever seen) and maybe 10-20 things of energy if you’re lucky. Been stuck with the same generators and high level orders for no reason. Insane that I only have 2,000 coins with 46 boxes of tools. That’s enough to upgrade at least half the map but hey, these random Chinese gaming companies will just try you to make in-game purchases whenever possible.
Not the game that's advertised
Came up on this game as an ad after a level of another game. It looked as though you had to match different things and they got bigger and changed into other items and you had to clear the level before they all got to the end of the line. This is NOT that game.
Nothing like what they have you play on practice
I hate when I play a game that comes up as a sample, like it, download it and it’s not anything like what the sample was. Delete!!
Don’t trust the 5 star reviews
The developers offered people gems in exchange for leaving 5 star reviews so you can’t trust those reviews. The developers have destroyed this game. Lots of bugs. They’ve made it impossible to play without spending money. I don’t recommend this game.
Misleading Ad
The game is nothing like it was advertised
False advertising
Not the same as the in-game ads.
Where is the game in the advertisement?
What a bait and switch.. I only wanted to play the sliding drinks game and not the grid but after downloading that’s only what I get and can’t play the sliding game unless back in an advertisement. 1 star until they make the sliding drinks game available.
Sucks
Deleted my old game after I spent money on it. Want my money back
Misleading
I download the game because of the juice merge but it’s different
Bait and switch
Played this game on an ad and decided to downloaded because I enjoyed what I was playing on the ad, however, the game you play is VASTLY different than what is in the ad. If you are looking at this because of the ad, just know what you’re downloading is not what’s in the ad. It’s a scam.
Forget the good stuff
They showed a preview of sliding drinks like shuffle board (see first picture in the App Store) and it’s not even actually part of the game anymore. Completely false advertising. The game instead is boring drag and sort based on energy and isn’t fun what so ever. Hard pass…
Need help
I was playing this game on my tablet but my tablet died. I loaded it on my iPhone but I can’t find how to bring up the progress point that I had on my tablet, I don’t want to start over and loose my investment of time and money.
Lame
Not the game that was advertised. No drink launcher. This game is a very definition of a lame waste of time game.
Not close to what the game is
The game in the Ad isn’t close to real game play. Don’t waste your time, you’ll be disappointed.
False Advertising
The game is nothing like the ad! It showed sliding drinks to merge which I liked. It’s nothing like that. I’ll now be deleting it.
Not the same!
Not the same game that's advertised. I tried playing it for a while anyways and it's SO repetitive. You have to merge the same things 2,000 times before you get to the item that is needed. 😵💫 Lol!
WTH??
I just got it and the first thing came up but it doesn’t even tell you what to do!!!! Numbers and squares and…..WTH?!!!! What am I supposed to do with them??!!!!
Bologna!
Not the game that is advertised! I hate that!
Not the game that’s advertised
Saw this game on an add and was completely different from what it actually is. So annoying when they do that.
Deceiving Ad
The game I played in the advertisement was really fun, so I installed it. Then it was just another (not even remotely like the ad) boring merge game designed to waste time taking forever to reach goals and then turning into a pay to play like all other games. Uninstalled.
What game is this?
The game on the demo has a board you slide drinks on. Haven’t seen that at all.
Not the same game as advertised
This is not the same game that is advertised

Misleading
I rather liked the ad with the sliding drinks. Not at all interested in the grid version.
Tasty travels
Only going to give this game a two. love playing the game but it just like all the other games it takes forever to reach your goal and the rewards are trash as to what you your time and what you have to use to get there or you have to pay to play or you can’t get the same rewards you can only get so far then you have to pay or you go no further I probably delete the game soon on that reason alone, but if you made a way for the players that can’t pay or choose not too to reach the same goal in other ways that done take forever that would be a start.
Thanks for getting back with me, but no I will leave my review as is for now until I see some changes to the game as to how the same players that can’t pay or don’t pay to play as much as others players but can still reach the same goals and or rewards by other means within a reasonable time frame and realistic to achieve
Ok here we go you ask me if I wanted to update my review so yes I will I’ve dropped it down to a one ( 1 ) only because it is fun to play but only if you are willing to spend a lot of money the rewards stink all of them compared to the amount of energy/ lighting bolts or whatever you call them and the time it takes merge items you have used everything you have then you wait and you get a little more then they’re gone and you wait again it’s a vicious cycle then I realized this game is just like monopoly 😳 so I have spent all I’m going to on it and when the 900 plus energy is gone I will be to will delete the game and enjoy my time else where

What are the rules
Game opens but no play or interaction. Locked
False advertising!
I found this game via an ad on another game. You had to slide drinks to merge them. That part of the game is no longer available yet it is still advertised including on the App Store!!! Also, way too many other games going on simultaneously.
Not the game advertised.
The game that I played in the ad for this was actually interesting. Sliding drinks together, but the actual game was some boring match game. I don’t understand why they make an ad more fun than the actual game
This game is not what the ad presented it as.
The ad for this game involves “slinging” drinks at other drinks. It allows you to play and it’s really fun, so I got this app.
Then I went to play and discovered the game I p,ayec in the ad is nowhere in this app. very disappointed. Promptly deleted it.

Fake
I bought this because it was advertised as a game of sliding cocktails - looked fun. Once downloaded it was completely different, and NO FUN! no sliding cocktails. Fake. BAIT AND SWITCH.
Do Not Spend Money
What playing in this app? I was offered a bonus for extra energy in order to complete a specific task. I paid for the extra energy and complete completed the task and was my reward. This is the part that really bothers me. I reached out to the app and told them what happened. To send a screenshot of the completed task ,so I did. For three days after that, they continued to send me messages but still have not given me my rewards. I asked for a refund of my money and they refuse that as well.
Fake
Nothing like the add I saw at all
Miss leading
They advertise something and give something else..!! Waste of time.
Wow! Like being in Math class again…
Impressive! They managed to take all of the boring, repetitive, dull tasks usually found in these types of games, rolled it together, cut out all of the more fun aspects, and this was what popped out! Having trouble sleeping at night? Just open this game up and try to fill a single order! Imagine combining hundreds of times just to fill one order!! What fun!
Not the same
The ad and the game are totally different
False advertisement
False advertisement. This game is nothing like the ad
Hours to refill energy, impossible repetitive pointless tasks
You’ll have to wait for hours to fill the energy points .. after that in less than 5. Minutes you’ll be out of energy and you’ll have to wait again
Repetitive pointless tasks
Impossible to achieve tasks
If by any chance you hit the target, you’ll start again from the beginning

Zero Stars
The Ad is FAKE. This is just another stupid merge game. I can see this being stimulating for toddlers but that’s about it
false advertisement
not the same as the ad.
Garbage bait and switch
They have a fun game in the ad. Why bait and switch to a garbage match game? I really don’t understand their logic.
