updating to say.... Ever Merge is nearly identical, and far superior to this game. I'm sure I'll still play this one. But, not nearly as often. Free to download... but too expensive to play. You can't really win much of anything without spending money. especially on the side events. There is little to no way to make sufficient progress with those unless you pay for energy. the main land is the same set up but allows a *little more* opportunity to earn energy without paying money.

The game is great, been playing for years, however the 3 star is for certain side events that require you to gain an item (key, toy, ect) but it doesn't give you what you need to continue the event. The current one going on, for example, the merge 2 game, doesn't give you what you need to succeed and move onto the next level. There are a few others similar, but other than that, the game is great to play.

It has no major issues although the maps sometimes lag or jump around causing merge mistakes. There's also an excess of pop-up adverts for in-game items and recurring game play tutorials. I find these features very irritating and given that I play games like this for relaxation, it's definitely not a winner for me. Beyond that, it's cute, does not require purchase of in game items to be playable or enjoyable, and runs relatively smoothly.
