I'm torn on this game. Positives: cute, fun visually, satisfying to merge, lots of variation in events. Negatives: Slow progress at certain point, difficult to unlock event rewards, deceptive pop ups, spending $ doesn't guarantee success unlike other merge games, energy goes fast If you're looking for a cute 10-20 min a day time waster, this is a good one. If you like merge games but want more engagement and fair play, I'd look elsewhere.

I enjoy the game, but please be fair with cards and other events. If cards pack was 4 stars, then inside must 4 stars cards. Not one 4s, and the other 1 or 2s. As it's already hard collecting energy, u make it harder to fulfill the event as well..unbelievable. I spend money as well to play this but it's like telling me i need to spend more just to finish the event, ridiculous. Make it fair. It's hard to collect the cards, to get the card pack itself.

All you guys out there who plan on playing this game be well aware not to make any purchases because once you make it (like I did just one single time) everything will go downhill. I am truly disappointed because the basic settings have completely changed after this. I have lost all the perks and bonuses as well as an ability to gain any additional energy through advertising. Consequently, I have lost my entire progress! In short, I am truly pissed! ????????????

The game is pretty fun, and the characters and story are charming. It's pretty easy to go through the main story free-to-play if you're patient and play casually, but it's pretty much impossible to complete the side events without spending money. Still, the events give out pretty decent rewards even if you can't finish them.

I've been playing for a few months and I love the game. Only thing I don't like is that it take 4 energy for one click on a item. It makes it harder and longer to achieve goals without spending actual money. 100 energy goes way to fast when it takes away 4 each time. I get to play it about minutes every couple hours. Kinda waste of time but I'm hoping something will change soon.

Not what the ads lead you to believe, but it's fun. I don't like that you get energy u0026 run out quickly by merging, then have to use your Rubys to buy more energy (or real money), because there's really no way to earn energy in the game. Once in a great while you'll find something that gives you energy bottles, but if you don't merge them several times to the highest piece, you get hardly any points u0026 it's a waste, so save your energy bottles until you can merge them up to the big green ones.

Really like the game. Would be better if the rewards were updated since dishes were upgraded, if some of the mini games lasted a little longer, and if the card were easier to get. Also the coins and badges should be increased on some of the upgraded dishes. Takes a very long time to advance in the game if your not spending money.

The story and design is really cute. Much better than those merge games where all the buildings are tiny and you look at them from high above (If that makes sense). Only complaint is that you don't get rewarded enough without paying. I can only play for like 10 minutes at a time most of the time before I'm out of energy. The game Seaside Escape is much better in that sense (but the story and design isn't nearly as cute). Still it will be in my rotation for a while I'm sure!

I've been playing this game for a little over a year now, though it had nothingntondo with the ads, and they steal ideas from other apps for minigames and events, I am enjoying the game overall. It isn't the best game out there but it's Definitely not the worse. The prices of Ingame purchases are reasonably and there isn't any bugs. So I will say it's worth the 5 stars for being a solid game

The story line is awful and the main character is an idiot, who's friends are just as dumb and immoral as her, but if you don't pay attention to that, you can at least waste your time in the mini games spamming merge items until you may or may not get the item you need with a laughably low number of turns before you run out. unless you buy a pack or two, which is of course what they want.

Pretty fun. Wish energy didn't run out so fast. And the prizes used to be better when I first started playing. Now with the energy chests I only get like 2 small bottles of energy and like 1 or 2 coins. Also it's impossible to get the cards so I don't even bother with them. I play constantly but still barely finish some of the prizes and others I don't even have a chance. It's very frustrating but there aren't any ads so that's nice.

I've played this game for a while now! Currently about level 73. I've spent money here and there when money allows and it always makes the game last way longer. I've always loved the graphics and the way you can customize and organize everything! Pretty much a staple on every phone. Would definitely recommend if you like a good story, sorting, matching, time management and a fun way to pass the time here and there.

It a good game honestly but there's no way you can play it in the long run without paying anything, the 100 energy barely serve one person and 2 minutes per 1 energy is absurd. The demand of the recipe becomes harder and making it is impossible with random things coming out of the spawn ingredients. Sometime with things you don't even need wasting the little energy you have. I really like the game but i hope when you level up and the ingredients become harder they should give you more energy.

The game is nice but once you put any money in (in my case 1$ after almost a year of being f2p) they take away 60% of rewards you can get for watching ads, in hopes of extracting more money from you. They say ads are randomly assigned, but this is a problem I've seen on the forums as well as having it myself. Ads aren't 'randomly assigned', there is an algorithm behind it designed to maximize profit, and once you buy something once the algorithm takes away 70% of rewards for watching ads.

This game had potential, but it wears out. The story doesn't ever get anywhere, and I'm really tired of it. It's an okay merge game, but the ratio between actually playing and waiting to replenish energy is frustrating. Today when playing another game, I saw an ad for this game, that told me that "this game is actually like the ad". IT IS NOT. IT HAS NONE OF THE ELEMENTS IN THE AD and no one can convince me otherwise. Seeing this ad today made me uninstall the app.

It's entertaining. It's nothing like the ads/pictures where they are out in the cold and have to make terrible choices. It's a merge game with a story that is pretty boring about a woman fixing up a "restaurant" that looks more like a resort. By the time she figures out the story were all going to be old and won't remember anything. Lol

Base game is fun but it is too agressive too early on monetization, limited to 100 energy (takes a little over 3 hours to recharge) required to build multiple 512/1024 energy items to advance. So it can easily amount to roughly 30 hours worth of energy in 10 sessions just to finish 1 order. This was the case after playing for 1 day.

It's a fun way game. But it uses energy to do tasks. When you run out, oh well, gotta wait unless you want to spend real money. Because of this, I never finish the extra games, I run out of energy and have to wait until it refills, and by then, the extra game is over. Still a relaxing game if you don't care about getting extra prizes.

The game is okay, but the energy regeneration and value of money packs is terrible. You run out of energy and there are not many ways to generate more, and the smallest packs cost about five dollars but only give you a small amount of energy and gems. Their occasional deals are okay but honestly it's just really poor value for money. I am usually happy to spend money on games as I feel that supporting developers is important, but this game does not offer enough value.

Would give a higher rating if it weren't so painfully clear that this game is so heavily pushing its users to make a purchase. Needing 'energy' to create items, the amount of times something has to be merged to complete an 'order', the events and unachievable goals w/o purchasing, the pushing of the 'packages', etc. I could go on. I only play because I find the dialogue surprisingly well written and I'm hooked. I can't wait to finish and delete. You can have in-app purchases w/o being scummy.
