Lots of merge fun

No ads! In game purchases if you want but no king dying or little girl eating food dropped in the snow. Just merge and earn diamonds and coins.

Fun game, but bugs! Wouldn’t spend money on it

Fun game, but constant items for sale get in the way. And when you win special chests, you never get them! No matter how much you look on your island, they are gone. Not worth it.

The game is fun but it keeps freezing up especially when there big moves. Many times it froze when I tried to make a big move forcing me to make small moves and use up my lives. Not cool

Nice Variety

I really enjoy this game. I like the combination of things to do and they give a lot of rewards. You can play for a good amount of time, especially if you keep passing the boards and join a team. You don’t have to spend money to keep playing.

Disgusting, Disturbing

Just the ads alone fr this “game” are anything but entertaining. Not only are they disgusting, they’re quite disturbing. A really gross, mean and most likely drunk man is berating little children and his wife also looks abused. If you think that makes for entertainment, you need to run as fast as you can and get help!

Great game

saw the mini stories and thought love this - they stopped... also they updated it and you could collect treasures from others gardens and it helped with building your own things up - that stopped with the last update.. some levels are toooo hard to do without buying gems .. I absolutely loved this game but now prob a year in that I played everyday, even just to get the gems and treasures and claim the daily freebies but they have stopped it all such a shame

Fun game but I’d had it for less than a day and it crashes within the first few minutes every time. Often can’t even get through one game without the crash and then starting over.

I like this game

I have enjoyed this game for sometime now, but all of sudden I am opening chests with items I already completed the highest level and my rewards keep repeating. Even the daily items you can purchase are the same every day. It’s getting frustrating to keep playing the game.

Fun but you will end up buying

This is a fun game but after a quick start you really have to make purchases to get further in the game, which is kind of disappointing. It stalls the game and eventually you don’t play as much. Good effects though and very creative

Mellie and Harry

I feel that the better I thought I was performing, the more it seemed rigged to have me purchase diamonds. So seeing reviews where someone didn’t have to purchase diamonds means I’m a bad player (could be) or it’s rigged. It was a fun game but I no longer enjoy (anxiety vs enjoyment) because I shouldn’t have to spend so much to play. I earned so many coins and could barely use them, so these rewards were basically useless.

It is a fun game but……

I do find the game to be fun however, if you’re looking for the woman with the children that you’re trying to do all this stuff to save if you can find them good luck because I’ve looked all over this thing and I cannot find them anywhere. We still keep and play the game because I do like the concept of the game, but yeah, they always say we don’t lie about it. It’s actually there it’s not.

★★★★☆ United States · v1.72.01 · 18 Aug 2026

Gets too difficult

I appreciate that this game is free with zero ads, but I’ve reached level 500 and it just seems the last 100 or so levels have been the same level of difficulty. The levels are too similar and it feels you’re playing the same level over and over. I’m still on the first piece of “land” to build up, and I cannot imagine how hard the levels get once you get to the next portion of world. They do this purposely so you’ll use all of your gems to pass these difficult levels, and have to actually purchase more gems with your own money to continue playing.

Just a money grab

Fun to play at first when the algorithm allows you to win games. At the higher levels, you will play the same board 20 or more times unless you spend money. I would rather watch a short ad than be stressed out by something that is supposed to be fun. Each update makes it harder to get rewards, and the developers have admitted that they don’t give the same options to everyone. If I had known all of this upfront, I would have deleted this game early on.

Enjoyable but has become a real cash cow now.

This game was an enjoyable game to play and had plenty to keep your interest. Sadly with each upgrade you are making the game more and more difficult to beat levels in order to make you spend cash. I know that if you keep playing a level enough times you can eventually beat it but it makes the game more frustrating than enjoyable. I would happily spend cash in this game if I was enjoying it but it’s become far less enjoyable so I will stop spending my cash just to get a few levels along. As soon as what you bought runs out (which is extremely fast) you get nowhere in the game again. In order to enjoy the game you must continually spend real cash at an alarming rate. I once gave this game 5 stars but I’ve dropped to three now due to the greed of the developers. Another great game ruined by greed. Don’t developers realise that being virtually forced to spend cash will make people refuse to do so, whereas keeping the game enjoyable will actually make people happier to spend cash along the way? UPDATE***** Further down the road and now the developers have removed the only thing that made this game reasonably enjoyable simply to force you into buying your way through the game. I have been playing since the game started but with each update they are making the game harder and harder to play and less and less enjoyable. I have now reached a point where I resent spending cash on the game and will probably end up deleting it. Nothing buy GREED.

Used to love it…not so much anymore

Maybe if you’re just starting the game now, you might enjoy it. But changes made in last couple weeks are not for me. I had been happy the game added a new section so that there were two areas to play. But now they freebies from friends are gone. There is an increased “cost” for items as well. I spent a good amount of money over the last year and had no issue with it. I really enjoyed the adventure. I was drawn in.

Mostly fun game

This is a fun game, but it does not have all the stuff that it shows on the ads. My biggest issue and concern with this game is that when you order the sweet sale that they have every weekend for $2.99 it either doesn’t go through and you get billed for it anyway or you get billed multiple times for a game add-on you can only purchase once. You rarely get refunded. It happens almost every other weekend that I play and then I request a refund sometimes I get it back other times they refuse. Seems like they’re stealing from you. Don’t know if it’s the game or Apple or both. You kinda need to purchase stuff to move up in the game. It’s disappointing because it is a really fun game, but they have made it harder to close out things in the game without the help to create wonders.

Do not load!

This is another game that looks interesting in the ad. Then you load it and it's nothing like what was shown. WORSE THAN THAT it traps you in the game mode. You cannot exit. If you try to close it, you scroll in the map. Settings and every other option doesn't have an exit. I finally got to a point where I could open it in a browser and then we able to closer it. Do not even try it.
