Travel Town - Merge Adventure Game Reviews

Fun but EXPENSIVE and RIGGED >:(. PLEASE READ: save yourself a lot of time and money. The game is enjoyable to an extent. I’m embarrassed to say I have spent well over $300 on TT (which I NEVER do for an app). But I couldn’t advance unless I bought a package and now I'm starting to realize it’s a waste. One item needed for orders takes all of my energy, items keep disappearing, including diamonds. But what really annoys me is the card packs. And this is the honest truth…. I opened 20+ packs in a row and they were all dupes except for one…ONE!!!! Even XL & SUPER packs. I wish I could show screenshots here bc I’ve been documenting everything ever since I noticed the unfairness of this game. It’s a huge let down esp considering the amount of money I’ve put into it. Don’t think I’ll be playing much longer. ON A BETTER NOTE….I came to realize there are much cheaper merge games out there. Better story lines, cheaper packages, all under $10. It’s more fun playing an affordable game, where you can advance fairly. Travel Town is basically a money pit. The developers seem greedy. $30 for a package that gets sucked up making just a couple items and card packs that only release one every so often is a huge disadvantage. Do better.

Don’t be a victim like me!!!!. It’s the first time to leave my review for the app. I agree with that this game is fun and addictive. I’ve been paying a small amount for playing a game, but im not willing to buy an item over twice per game or big items. That means that im really confident the transaction should be so obvious. First few times were good. At some point, the notifications for buying item transactions had become so strange. The bill showed two or three different transactions at the same time. I thought previous transaction can be included in the same bill. However, Im pretty sure it was wrong since I didn’t buy items sequentially in a short time. I claimed few days later it happened, but my claims were rejected. Today, I tried to change my payment method on purpose with apple cash which has only $10 of balance. I attempted to buy one item of $7.99. It was denied BECAUSE they charged two transactions of $1.99 and $7.99 at the same time. So, the balance is not sufficient to pay both. Unluckily, you got the fraudulent transaction of $1.99 that I haven’t tried and received. Although I haven’t got the item for $7.99 that I was willing to buy, but I can catch the moment that my money was stolen. I have claimed the transactions that I got stolen so far. Hopefully today’s transaction would be a proof and helpful for the investigation.

One of the best games I’ve ever played!. I discovered this game because it was apart of a offers page. I wanted to get this SHEIN $750 dollar reward card. But it told me I had to complete 12 offers before I could get it. This was one of the games I downloaded it told me I had to reach level 7. It’s almost level 12 and honestly I was hooked the first 5 minutes of playing! It was quite funny because I didn’t care anymore about that offers page. I had found a one of the most fun games ever and that’s what I was happy about. You can play this game for hours and be entertained. You will be upset when your energy runs out. But you can watch a few ads to gain more energy. It’s kinda of a good thing for you to take a break and let the energy build up again. You can buy more energy but it’s really not necessary. So this game so so fun. I could play it for hours. I highly recommend it. I even shared on my Facebook. It’s rare for me to share games like that but I was like this game is real special. So yes this is the type of game you will wanna keep playing again and again.

Great overall. This game has quickly become my favorite one to play. However, there are a few things that have been bothering me. It is obvious that you save up coins in order to upgrade buildings, which get more expensive the further you get into the game. There have now been TWO instances where I have spent 5,000 coins to buy a new building but there is nothing there and says “upgrades coming soon”. I’m sorry but if it isn’t ready to be played, don’t give the option to buy the building. 5000 coins is a lot and could’ve gone to one of my other buildings and actually progressed it, instead I am out the coins and can’t do anything to further my level without waiting 2-3 days to get that amount of coins back. It really is frustrating and is something that should be taken into account. Like I said, this has become one of my favorite games as it is satisfying and fun to merge items and create new ones, along with excelling your town. These are just a few things that should be thought through for the players sake.

Was great until…. I spent a pretty penny on this game ($200+ USD.) What I noticed is that the daily challenges for events give you either a 3 star or 4 star card pack, which usually won’t give any new cards after the 5th one you open. The chest only containing 2 star or 3 star card packs isn’t beneficial for progression in the events. Having several duplicates is irritating, especially since I can only give out 2 per day, and by the time I finish with the daily tasks I have already gotten 2+ duplicates. You can’t usually get golden cards, and having to pay for packs just to get a chance at getting them is annoying. Not being able to trade them is even more so, as I have gotten duplicates of the golden cards. Making card packs more expensive has turned me off on purchasing any. It has gotten harder to progress in the game itself as everything takes longer to complete. The coins is not the issue, but rather the toolbox. In the beginning, you could get 2-3 toolboxes, however now it’s only 1-2. If it takes more energy to complete, I think it should give more (ie 4-5 toolboxes). I’m hoping that the next update will bring some big improvements.

Fun game but takes a while. I’ve been playing this game a couple days, and I generally really like it. It’s simple, fun, not too time consuming. However, once you get to a certain level, it becomes a lot harder to advance without spending real money on the game. The energy cost to get the items you need is very high, you’re not likely to actually get the items you need when clicking on the suppliers, so then it can take days to fulfill some of the orders, which means you’re not getting enough coins or building materials, which then makes it days before you can upgrade buildings and advance levels. I wish there was a way to get coins/materials without fulfilling orders - like a daily login bonus or something. I also wish the energy cap was higher than 100 so you could get more from recharging - like a cap of 200 or something. The last thing would be to make the special purchase packages less expensive. I’d be more inclined to actually spend money if they were $4-5 because I like the game, but I’m not spending $14-17 just to get 1300 energy. Considering how much energy it takes to fulfill some of the higher level orders, that’s really not that much.

Blue Gems!. Hello developers. Getting straight to the point. Either the recharge time needs to be lowered or give more opportunities to gain blue gems to buy energy. The shop is useless to me because i never have blue gems to spend. Why cant things in the shop be bought with smileys instead? Certain orders take entirely too long to fulfill. This drives you to have to try to merge other items in the meantime which quickly fills the board with items you cant sell because theyre needed. With each source at least give enough items to make half the order. Also when leveling up the energy level should rise. 100 is not alot of energy when your whole top row is a source object. The seashells and silverware takes forever! In closing, dont take this as a negative review. Love the game and latest update. Not asking for a simplified game but more of a balance. I play daily every chance i get. But make it worth my effort . I shouldnt be merging for weeks to get one high level food item. Its pointless to use the whole 100 energy to try and get one high leveled food item thats still not completed after using the next 100 after waiting on a recharge. Work with me please. Im level 24 and only have 4 areas unlocked. Come on!

Needs major changes and update is more expensive - bring back bubbles turning to energy. The newer update made it much harder to get energy. Before the extra drops were bubbles that turned into energy when unpopped, now they are coin. I have over $300k in coin but have almost no room on my board, and cannot move forward in the game because I need more energy to merge. At level 136 it takes weeks or months to get enough resources to build and move forward. Changing the way we received energy was a huge mistake, now I am stuck at this level and is no longer fun. I use to pay money for gems when energy was in the bubbles, because it meant I could play awhile. Now I barely play and refuse to spend any money on this game now. I’ve tried a few times since the changes with the bubbles, and not worth. Shame the game had to be so greedy. You went from someone spending money weekly to never again because of your greed. Also, all the storage slots are all used by useless generators. So all that time and money spent getting full storage is wasted by 70% of it being occupied by generators I have not been asked to use in months. Ridiculous.

Enjoyable. This game is fun and it has no ads unless you choose to watch adds for extra energy or to pop bubbles. I gave it 3 instead of 5 because some orders require more than 100 energy to complete and it takes days to finish unless you’re buying more energy. At first, there is the option to use diamonds for energy but it keeps increasing the price which seems kind of unfair. I am personally not a fan of the trading cards. I wish there was a way we can opt out of getting them “reward” and instead get more tool boxes/bags or energy. Or maybe I just don’t care about it because I am not connected to a community to trade. But besides that, its definitely enjoyable. I am glad they have a feature to remove the chats. I wasn’t in it for the story. I am only playing because I like matching the items and seeing what comes next. I will not that I am a fairly new player so I an still haven’t gotten past level 20 but I am starting to get a little burnt out over having to create items to create other items but rarely gives you the items you need so you have to recreate the item once it runs out. I’ve just been skipping those orders unless they offer tool boxes/bags since they’re the only way to advance certain levels.

Has potential.... I, like many others, had my progress reset with The Update. I thought it was fun at first, there were new resources to get, and it was much easier to get the higher level item spawners compared to before. The idea of having building materials was also interesting. However, they completely nerfed the drop rate of higher level items from the spawners. For example, previously, at a level 7-8 sand bucket, you could occasionally spawn max level sand castles and starfish. Now, you can only spawn level 3 castles and shells, max. Same with the picnic basket, and I imagine every other spawner. The devs claim that this new update will smooth the progression, so you don't have to be stuck on a level for days. That's not the case. Orders are MUCH higher level, asking for items at the end of the merge chain, and you have to spend days grinding for orders and building supplies. Do I think this is a ploy to get players to spend more money? Probably. Bad move, devs. I want to give them the benefit of the doubt, so I'll keep the game until the next update comes out. Maybe this new version just needs to be balanced better. I think the devs should've just made a sequel, tbh, instead of resetting long-time players.

Addicted! - Update. UPDATE: I'm on level 33 and I'm beginning to enjoy the game less. The orders are only for the higher items that take forever to get so I'm constantly out of lives in a matter of minutes and I barely get to fulfill any orders. I ended up having to spend $8 to beat the side quest in time and that's annoying. There are some producers and items that don't even get used anymore which is annoying because they're taking up board space. I don't want to sell the items in case I will need them and I don't have my full storage for producers yet. Not sure how it determines when you get a new space to store a producer? Also, the cost of new storage places for items goes up with each one you get which is ridiculous. I just feel like the game doesn't allow you to ever have enough energy. It caps it at 100 when you're not active (dislike) and it takes soooo much energy when merging to get the higher items. And you only get 1 every 2 minutes!? Come on. So frustrating. I feel like there could be a better balance so the game is still challenging but also still fun to play. It's sad because I was seriously loving this game and now I feel like I probably won't be playing for much longer unless the developers make some changes. :( ORIGINAL POST: I don't usually leave reviews, especially for games, but this game is so addicting! I love it. And I love the short little side quests that happen every now and then.

I’m done. Update: I was trying to give the benefit of the doubt, but I can’t waste my time anymore. I can’t get the items I need to level up and the rest of the time it takes me forever to get the items to get tool chests. This isn’t fun anymore it’s become like a job. Thanks for the pointless updates that don’t help. The other day I finally complete a task that gave me 6 large toolboxes….I still wasn’t able to update any of the 5 outstanding buildings I have. I’m done. I loved this game. However I don’t think I can continue. I play the challenges to get toolboxes and meet the daily goal every day. Yet I still don’t get the parts I need to level up. The algorithm is not fair based on the needs you have. I have a million brick walls and yet zero wallpapers. This needs a better update and with all the tasks I complete I should have another option of leveling up. It’s frustrating to work towards so,etching for so long just to be disappointed. What is the point of an update with new buildings if I can’t even get to the buildings I have!! Also completely blocked from leveling up. I was a beta user and in half the time was a higher level than I am now after the reset. The tool boxes are way too random and don’t give what I need. I’ve been waiting on a plug for at least a month. I’m over this.

Great game but that update though. This is my favorite game. I pretty regularly come back about every three hours - after my energy had replenished sometimes sooner with the auto producers. I have even spent some of my own money on it. This new update though. I am so disappointed. A lot of the previous producers that I had competed are no longer completed and as I am completing them…again it’s not for any new content. It’s for an item that I had previously achieved but the makeup of the producer has changed so it nullifies my progress. I just feel jipped and it’s annoying to go back to complete something that I’ve already completed. Also now when you reach the max level - it no longer gives an option for an auto buy. I really loved that and it helped clear off my board. An idea for the developers - give an option for orders to decline like 3 in a day and then any more declined would require a gem purchase. Also I would like the trading group to be in app. I still enjoy the game and will keep playing but I am much less motivated to log on and I am still disappointed and will continue to be bummed out until I have finally backtracked and made progress that I already did.

I used to love this game. I used to really enjoy this game. Then the daily challenges became unattainable unless you play the game alllllllllll day or pay loads of money to continue adding energy. I don’t even want to play it anymore. The goals are just too hard and I liked that I could still make the goal and get my orders done casually throughout the day. Now I can’t even do one. Why should I even bother playing if there is no reward? Also, the fossil that you get an order for at the beginning is also unattainable. I’ve done everything I can to look for it and still nothing. I am on level 27 and got the order for the fossil on level 1 or 2. I also can’t find any more maps to continue merging my treasure maps. I haven’t seen a treasure map since like level 10 or 11, so they are just taking up space that I don’t have. AND you merge the suppliers that spit items out which should give you higher leveled items more frequently, but 99% of the items that come out are level 1 items, even though the supplier is at max level. So again, what is even the point if it is this hard and no reward? I tried it, I loved it. They changed the game and I gave it a shot, but I don’t enjoy it anymore. It feels more like a chore now so I will be deleting it.

Energy pop ups. I like the game enough but they have a pop up where it gives you an option to use gems for energy... the issue is this pops up once you run out so if you are tap, tap, tapping to spawn items quickly it will pop up and its too easy to tap it the second it pops up and bam, gems are gone. when if you see it pop up you get 25 free energy for watching adds which is an option at the bottom. They need to give you an option to confirm because this has happened more times than I can count. I also agree with the previous commenter about using way too much energy on items. Some items that you need to spawn the higher level items have taken me 2 days to get to because they rarely spawn the items you need, and I mean very rarely. There are ones that take spawning and merging till you get to another spawning point and that point/item only spawns so many before it breaks down... so I will have spawned the temporary ones and several times in a row I wont even get one fragment that I need, I understand that its meant to be more difficult but 2 days is excessive and I play quite often throughout the day, even purchasing packs at times. It's simply ridiculous!

Impossible.. Fun game sure but this game is impossible to get anywhere without spending money. So just know that before you download and start playing. The 100 regenerating moves do not increase (not that I’ve found) as you advance. Most games I’ve played your moves or lives etc, increase as you advance. Not this one. Even if you spend money, you can not complete your daily challenges or orders at a decent pace. I’ve seen player’s messages where they’ve contacted the developers about this and they send a big long message but first thing mentioned, is BUYING stuff. A for effort but F for execution. ** I came back to my review after reading other reviews and it seems, we all have the same complaints. Maybe some things to consider @ the developers. :) Ps.. let’s not even get started on the “new look.” The stationary has all completely changed and new things are added. All of that would not have been so bad if, it was done before I got to it. I was used to merging books and pens and now we have castles and dragons and desk. Just weird and I’ve heard that was done to multiple producers. Annoying.

Almost Perfect. This game is great. Other merge games I've tried are either too slow, or impossible to play without spending money. There's obviously effort being put into this game, it's not something made for a quick buck. There's no interruption ads, though there are many popup prompts for purchases. The pace you can move at isn't too fast or slow. I've had the game for about 3 weeks and I'm on level 28. My main problem with this game, is the energy system. I know there's meant to be some idle features on this game, but this is too much. It takes almost 4 hours to get full energy. I feel like I never actually get to play the game because I'm constantly waiting for the game to let me play. And there's hardly any others ways to get it without spending money. $4 for only 200 energy? That's not worth it at all. I wish there was a way to eliminate the energy feature, so I can actually play the game for more than 3 minutes at a time. I'd be willing to pay for that, it would be like playing a full version of the game. I just wish there was less waiting for the game and more actually ppaying the game.

Very cheaty. Update: developers do not listen to their players! It should not take 2 minutes to gain energy! This is ridiculous and a waste of time. It is a pay to play game 100%. There is absolutely no way to gain energy unless you’re paying real money. I’m deleting and never downloading again. This game was fun the first three levels and then turned very cheaty very fast. It never gives you what you need. It takes forever to build up energy. There is absolutely zero way to earn energy unless you spend diamonds or real money. You can’t upgrade buildings without building material but you can’t get the material because you can’t get the items or even move the customers around. I’ve had the game for 2 days and it’s absolutely annoying that you can’t get anywhere in this game unless you spend money! Have you seen this economy??? No one is willing to spend their hard earn income on a game. Now if you gave us more ways to earn energy or did it like some other games where you can give others energy it would be great! Also why do you need WiFi with this game?? The only reason I gave 2 stars is because there are no adds. So thank you for that. But this game needs serious work with the players in mind. You could always go look at Royal match or Lilly’s garden for ways to improve the game. Thanks for reading.

Frustrating. This game would be so fun if it weren’t pretty much impossible to fill orders without spending actual real money. Their algorithm seems to be set to give you the items you don’t need when trying to fill an order. At first I thought this was just in my head but it keeps happening so that I use all of my energy and I have filled my board with items I don’t need. Then, when I delete some of those items to make space on my board, suddenly I get a customer that is ordering the very things I deleted. It is incredibly frustrating. The events are impossible to complete and can be somewhat confusing. They make it so you get super close to winning the event but in the end you either end up paying money to get more energy or you lose the event. Some people still lose after purchasing. Don’t even get me started on the cards. I will get lots of cards on any given day, none of which will be what I need to complete sets and win prizes. I will sit with being one away from completing a set on like 3 or 4 sets, get 10 cards and they’re all cards I already have. This game is impossible. Beautiful, vibrant graphics though. Takes too much of my time for me to never win anything. Will probably end up deleting it along with so many other players on this game.

Needs undo button or confirmation button. Generally I love this game and have been playing for a long time, have developed my own strategies in how to maximize my energy and time and resources. The one big issue here is that with other merge games, there is a temporary undo option or at least a “did you mean to purchase this”? confirmation check for things that cost a lot of resources, especially with the amount of interaction with the game, it’s very easy to accidentally graze over a button and delete an essential item or buy something you didn’t mean to with coins and or gems you have been saving for something else. And sometimes that is an accidental double click. This is the third time I have went to buy a energy chest for 24 gems and it gave me 2 chests and took 72 gems from me that I have been collecting and working on all month to build up. I did not want that and did not need it and was saving it for other items in the shop that I really need. this can really mess up progress and can be a huge detriment to retaining players for this game.

Has potential but mostly just frustrating. I enjoyed a lot of aspects of this game, but the ratio of “energy” to items is severely lopsided. You will get maybe a minute or two of free play on a very limited board before waiting 2 minutes for 1 single energy that is used to produce one low level product that comes from a producer item (that also takes up space on the board) that pops out multiple strands of items. So if you’re trying to make a salad, you’ll get sushi and desserts. And then the second you merge up the sushi cause you are out of space, the next thing the game will request is the sushi that you just merged that took 3 days of play just to make…it’s SUPER frustrating. I ended up deleting the game after a week because the rate of play to wait and frustration was not worth it. The town that you’re “building” doesn’t progress quickly at all. It will be days before you can do the next step unless you’re spending TONS of money. Most games offer in-app purchases for $1-5 but this wants $7.99 for the opportunity to have another 10 minutes of play…I don’t know who would actually spend money on this thing.

Loved game in the beginning but now not so much. I have played this game since July and it’s have been INVESTED mentally and financially. In the beginning it was much easier to complete the tasks and if you wanted to continue playing just to play then you could pay for gems and energy. Now recently I realized that the tasks are now almost unattainable unless you spend money everyday. Which shouldn’t be. The album for example there is no reason that I gave so many multiples of cards over and over again I can’t get to complete the entire album within the time of I am investing my time into the game. Then there are the tasks to get coins to complete challenges there is no reassign it takes 100 energies to come half way to completing one. then the only way is to wait to get energy or watch the adds and you can only do that 4 times in a day so that isn’t even a lot and to get to another 100 it takes almost 3 hours. It starting to be a turn off. Which makes me sad because i truly enjoyed playing

LOVE THIS GAME. I’ve been wanting to write this review for awhile but I never write reviews, especially for games. Anyway this game is awesome it’s very user friendly. It is one of very few games that you don’t have to spend any money on to progress, you just have to be patient. When I started playing the energy went up to 200 but even after it changed to 100 I didn’t feel cheated. The developers are VERY RESPONSIVE. Every Time I had an issue with the game they responded and I received compensation in the game for any glitches. I couldn’t believe it! Unfortunately I have to delete the game for personal reasons. (If the developers come up with a way to skip level 67 let me know!!) I love the trading group! Communicating with people all over the world.. I use a translator so I can talk to them in their language, so fun! It makes me sad reading comments on FB of people commiserating about a stupid little things. This game is fun and addictive just like it should be. I’m going to miss it but maybe I’ll start it again from the beginning! One note .. maybe this is just my experience but the last update seemed to make the images smaller Please Change It Back, smaller looks weird :-)

Addictive — that’s my issue — the game has plenty of its own. A good game. Fun to play, but gets expensive bc it’s very addictive and you don’t get enough energy to keep playing. Has a few big glitchy issues — items sometimes become invisible but are still there. That’s obviously a big problem. Second, for the past week I’ve had this happen increasingly more often: the game loads to 36% but stops there. Need to remove game and reinstall! My info repopulates but still… I think it has something to do with Facebook or term agreements. Something that is not connecting properly. Oh! And Facebook connection gets kicked off EVERY time I close the app so I have to reconnect every time I reopen (you get gifts from friends — cards that are part of a collection that when completed give a reward). And this is not bc I’ve reinstalled, I’m talking about the times when it opens normally. So 3 issues, actually, but I’ve kept playing so far…. You know, it’s such a polished game that I do wonder how this can keep happening. Do they get a kick back every time someone links fb 😆? It’s just weird.

Waste of time. Starts off fun, a little confusing about exactly how to create certain items. Further along, it becomes impossible to get the items you need to level up unless you wait hours for your energy to accumulate (1 every 2 minutes??) and then you blow through it and still don’t end up with anything you need. What’s more is I was doing this game through a get-paid-to program and it just wasn’t tracking any of my progress even though I allowed tracking and was hitting the milestones. I filed a ticket with the advertiser, including screen shots to prove when I installed the app and to show what levels I had reached, and they basically said oh that’s too bad, here’s 30 cents for your hours of trouble, there’s nothing else we can do for you. So I deleted the game and will never go back. Don’t waste your time especially if you’re supposed to be compensated for playing. Edit: the developers replied to my review with a vague response that makes me sound like I don’t know what I’m talking about. I didn’t say the game pays out real money, I said the advertiser that they allow to put their game on a get-paid-to app was essentially useless when my earnings were not tracked.

Disheartening. The original game presented a charming and enjoyable matching experience. However, the recent update has significantly altered the game's mechanics, making the completion of orders and challenges considerably more difficult without incurring real money expenditures. Production orders are now generated irrespective of the producer's retirement status, rendering the retirement storage feature obsolete. Additionally, auto-producers are now rendered ineffective unless they are fully merged. The updated Terms and Conditions stipulate that users are prohibited from exploiting or disclosing exploits within the game. It is unreasonable to hold players accountable and compel them to remain silent regarding functional oversights inherent in the game—responsibility for such issues lies squarely with the developers. This game modification appears to target a minority who enjoyed playing within the bounds of the game's rules, without engaging in cheating or hacking, and in doing so, it unduly penalizes the majority of the player base. This change seems to be driven by a desire to increase profits rather than enhance user experience. I was content to support the game and play it in my own manner; however, attributing fault to players for exploiting a loophole that is both technically and legally permissible is profoundly disheartening.

New “update” royally screwed me. Very rarely do I spend money on mobile games.. but my wife turned me onto this one, and we play it together. I spent a decent amount of money over the last few months. I’m what the console gaming community refers to as a “completionist”. I like to unlock everything. After all my time playing every single day, I unlocked the second to last sticker on a large set. THOUSANDS of energy used, only to get an update and see that they highly minimized and removed all the things I worked for. I decided go let it go.. until just now. Again, spent HUNDREDS of energy to complete an order that only popped up just yesterday. I was ONE sticker away from completing the order, to get a large coin prize, to unlock another station in town.. logged back in just now, to find that order has disappeared, and I have nothing to use my hard saved items on. I have other orders still hovering up top, that have been there for days and days.. yet the one I was working towards, disappears as soon as I almost complete it? This game is designed for money to be spent.. I get that. But when I DO spend that money, I’d appreciate it at least being fair 😠

Disappointing, don’t bother. TLDR: Fun and addictive, they did well. But don’t bother, you can’t play and achieve things in a reasonable amount of time without spending money. That, coupled with the prices of the packages, makes it absolutely ridiculous to continue to support the game. You could play for free, like many people do, and just achieve things over days or weeks or not at all… or you can pay $30+ like some people do, and achieve things over days or weeks or not at all… 🤷🏿‍♀️ or, finally, you can come to your senses and realize there are apps out there that want your money AND want you to enjoy and continue to play. I DELETED THE APP! Yesterday, I bought 4,000 energy and was only able to complete 10 of the 20+ daily tasks. YES, 4,000 energy spent to only achieve HALF the daily tasks. Lmbo… I provided feedback a while ago about the cost to complete basic things. That was the final straw for me. And to the developers, you could respond with your usual, ‘we’re sorry for your bad experience and we’ll take your feedback into consideration when making improvements,’ but what if you actually improved our experience?? What if you made appropriate changes that enhanced UX and turned these 1 star reviews into 5 star reviews, and significantly reduced churn?? Just a thought.

Good concept, terrible execution. Just like the other reviewers experiences, I found this game fun and engaging at first but it quickly gets bogged down with impossible tasks and almost zero direction to progress forward. The game starts well, briskly moving through tasks, but without any direction at all, the board becomes over assorted with items that are useless rendering it impossible to advance. I see reviewers here that are ten to fifteen levels beyond me saying the very same thing, so obviously this is a persistent theme no matter your level of experience. Those reviewers are hardier than myself. I won’t be playing that long to find out I don’t like the game, I already know. The way items are produced, stopping just one item short of what you need to complete a task, is a clear effort to force the players hand into making in app purchases. This leads me to believe the developers main intention was not to make a game so engaging you’d want to spend money to enhance your experience, but rather a pretty brazen money grab before the player realizes the game isn’t worth their time, much less their money. Pretty graphics and greed don’t make a fun game. It all seems rather sloppy to me.

Could be better if ….. Love the game. Easy to get addicted too. However, as the levels get bigger more coins are needed to purchase property and it’s harder to fill the customer’s order. The customer will order items that require a lot of energy and only pay 370 coins but you need 12,000 to purchase the next property. It only gives you 100 max energy at a time. So you have to purchase more if you want to keep playing or wait about 200 minutes (3 hours and 20 minutes) to just to get 100 energies. However, any item over level 7 requires more than 126 energies. So you are either waiting or paying for more coins. I’ve paid for more coins and you can easily use them quickly if you want to keep playing all day… so before you play consider these things. Developers, give us more than 100 energies as the levels get higher and stop making it take more than 3 hours to get full energy. It’s annoying and makes me want to stop playing. However, I feel I’ve invested so much money already and I’m only on level 40 😩. A huge rip off .

Overall great!. I really like this game. It is simple and fun. There are natural slow-down mechanisms designed to get you to spend money, but they aren’t very bad and don’t interrupt the game in a way that detracts from it, in my opinion. However, I can’t give it five stars due to a specific problem. At the top of the game there are 4-5 community members with orders you need to fulfill. These orders tend to be the most important way of moving forward / making progress in the town. But early on one of the orders is for a fossil. And this fossil is basically impossible to get! And there is no way to dismiss / move on from that order. So I’m basically down to 3 orders for the rest of the game instead of 4. I did write to the app developer about the fossil, and they impressively responded rather quickly. But the way they said to try to get it is ineffective (I’ve clicked the relevant thing 500 times, so I did give it a chance) and for some reason the joker (which is supposed to merge with *anything*) won’t merge here either. So: overall very happy with the game. Don’t like this one thing that is detracting from my experience.

Used to like it a lot. Thie game started off really fun and I really enjoy it especially considering theres little to no ads interrupting everything. It takes so much time and energy now to actually accomplish anything and even if I use gems to replenish my energy half the time it gives me things I don't need. My board has become so full and overwhelming that I can barely tell what I have on it anymore. And random stacks of cookies now? What am I supposed to do with these? I have resorted to selling them which only gives me like 2 energy. Selling high quality items barely gives you anything. And im now stuck on trying to get enough coins and building materials. I'm pretty far along but thats because I give a lot of time between to build up energy. And also the daily challenges are near impossible, you would have you spend basically 24/7 on the game to get all of them considering it asks you to collect coins most of the time. I also hate the tile/pottery thing, takes so much energy to use it and it never gives you want you want. This game is based on luck now. Stop adding random stuff and cluttering everything. If we complete one of the producers and max everything out in it we should be able to put it away indefinitely so there's more space, allow easier daily tasks, make maxed out items worth more. And get rid of the useless items that build up.

Good game but could be better. I love this game it’s really addicting the only problem is the amount of energy they give you, or should I say lack there of. I find it that I’m only able to complete one order before my energy runs out and most of the time the reward from said order isn’t even comparable to the energy used to get the item. I don’t want to constantly have to spend gems to get more energy and I’m not putting real money into a free game thus making it not free. I get the point of things being blocked by paywalls, developers gotta make money, but I’m really close to giving up on this game because it’s no longer becoming fun. I don’t even write reviews often but I felt like I should voice my issues. I think that if the devs made some changes with the way energy is given (like instead of one energy every minute it could be shortened to 30 seconds?) I don’t know I just feel like I’m more often waiting for my energy to be restored than actually playing the game which causes me to switch to other games and forget about this one for a bit…

Great game - has flaws.. I would literally play this game all day long if it wasn't for the ridiculously fast rate at which you run out of energy and then everything is behind a pay wall or ads. I don't mind watching the ads but after 3, the option disappears and you're left with spending real money as your only option. For now, I'm game to wait until my energy refills and come back to play again but I keep wondering how long before I get annoyed enough to stop. I've spent some real money on the game but overall really try to avoid doing that so I feel I'll be done with it sooner than later. I agree with some of the other reviews that talk about how difficult it becomes to make higher level items once you reach a certain level and how maxed out creator items rarely give you what you actually need. These two things lead to a very crowded and overwhelming board which makes it a little less fun and more anxiety-producing. I think it's a great game and is definitely super fun and addicting but just wish I could play longer without running out of energy and/or having to spend actual money to play for more than 5min.

Annoyed. The further along I get into this game, the longer I find myself just waiting. The board fills up with different items that make other items, then side items. Some create duplicate balloons you can pop by watching and ad or spending jewels. If you don’t want the balloon item, it’ll eventually pop and turn into coins usually. But it takes FOREVER for these bubbles to pop. I’ve waited about 2 minutes for one to pop because I had no more room on the board and needed to cash in the coins to create more space, but I had to wait. The orders keep getting more expensive and harder, but they hardly pay you out anything. Game inflation, man. So, so frustrating. I know I’m reaching the end of playing this game, because even to play it throughout the day, it’s almost impossible to do without spending REAL money, and I’ve spent way more on this game than I have any other game ever…. Because I had to in order to keep playing. If I don’t spend money, it’ll take almost a full day just to fill one order. So yeah, almost done with this unless the orders are a little bit more accessible to fill or the rewards were bigger for the GIANT order I just filled. Make the boards bigger too, as players get further in the game. Or the inventory. Idk. Just seems like I can’t be the only one feeling this way.

Not player friendly. I’ve played this game from the beginning. It has interesting characters and a neat town story. But it has progressively gotten to be a source of frustration instead of a fun distraction. Daily challenges are unachievable using the meager energy they give you and they’re stingy with diamonds, coins and opportunities to get free energy. Then they added collections of stickers. They suggest you trade but you have to have Facebook to be in a group to try get trades and then you gift the item and hope the other person does too. It should be set up as an exchange and you should be able to negotiate within the game itself. If that’s not hard enough, you can only do two per day and you can’t trade gold cards. They started a new collection with all those restrictions but are running it for a month less. It’s not fun to play if you never have a chance to win or progress. Expecting us to pay to be successful is gross and has me looking at other games. I used to really enjoy playing this game but I won’t miss the greediness it’s become.

The newest update is terrible !. I’ve been playing this game for more than a couple of months and really got hooked to it. I like it so much I actually bought energy & gems for this game. I was on Level 51!! I wasn’t even done with all of the unlocking of the buildings. When I updated the newest version June 2021. They put me back to level 1!! Yes you guys gave me a lot of Gems back , but it didn’t last too long & I needed them for energy #newupdate! Why this update?? so this app update has new and exciting different things?? It’s actually harder to level up now. Yes you have new things, but in order to build houses you also Now need more “🙂” smiley faces & supplies in the game verse before where only needed game coins. On top Of that you waste more energy with this new upgrade. So after this I’m on level 17 and I’m struggling, it’s not that fun anymore. Sorry to say I lost interest in this game and now will delete. I’m very disappointed & sad this game is no longer my favorite. The makers got too carried away in this update making it harder for us “Gamers” . When I mean harder you have to spend more $$ on gems and energy to level up!! It’s not worth it!! I love Merge games this is app was in my Top 5!! Not anymore!!

Fun game, but. I have been playing this game for over a year, almost every day. I really enjoy it and all the side challenges. I especially love the islands. The graphics are really cute. If I could, I would play for hours, but sadly, 100 energy points only lasts me about three minutes of play. Then I watch the ads to get the extra 25 points. That gives me another five minutes, and then if I don’t have enough diamonds to buy more energy after watching the ads, I can’t play anymore until I wait and wait to get one energy point every two minutes. Also, I very rarely ever win a side challenge (because I never have enough energy or diamonds) and it ends before I can win. I also very rarely ever complete all the daily tasks because I have no energy or diamonds to buy energy or items. It would be better to start each day with 500 energy points and unlimited opportunities to watch ads to get extra energy, or even shorten the time from two minutes to 30 seconds to earn an energy point. Because for people like me who really like the game but am unable to purchase energy or diamonds, it would mean I could play more than just a few minutes at a time.

Money Racket. This game is a complete money racket! You can try for an entire month to collect enough cards in order to win prizes, and instead of actually awarding those cards to you, they will give you multiples of the same card so it becomes impossible for you to get the compete set! And every time you pay for an upgrade or pay for extras, you can guarantee they will just give you replacements of the same items you already have. Also, I counted that it took over 250 energy bolts just to keep rolling the dice until you get an item that will award you coins or other freebies. For example, the boat icon pumps out like five different items. So if you get some thing that requires 10th in line of said item, you will be playing forever and spending lots of money just to roll the dice and attempt to get that item. With you only getting 100 bolts a day for free, it is COMPLETELY not worth it, especially considering the fact that most games reward you for playing with freebies more frequently. Nothing on this site is free. You have to pay for every last item that you get and the new update is horrible. Take my word for it, play another merge game. There are many that aren’t scams! I could own Xbox in the amount of dollars I’ve had to spend just to get to a basic level. Deleting as we speak.

Bubbles - Energy. I think this is a very nice game. I enjoy quite a bit everything this far. As of right now I only have 2 gripes. 1. when you run out of energy it costs you 10 gems to refill, the issue is that gems are hard to get (I understand that the company have to make money by selling packages, but allow the opportunity to earn more gems a bit more quickly). Also, why don’t you start small with how much gems energy costs, say instead of starting at 10 gems start at 5 and do increments of 5 thereafter, that would be more reasonable and will allow the opportunity to buy packages. 2. thereafter bubbles when you either combine 2 items or get it while pumping an item are fine, what is annoying is the fact that you either watch a video to get the item or pay with gems, either I have no problem, but if I don’t need that bubble item I have to wait 2-3 minutes for the bubble to pop, meanwhile that bubble is taking space that I need. If you can have the option to just pop the bubble and get the one coin or one gem you give that would be awesome. Otherwise, very entertaining game!

Do not play. Screw this game! You know there isn’t even a history for the trading group? So people get to lies and not hold up their end of the deal! It’s absolutely ridiculous! I have been playing this game for about 3 to 4 months and honestly everything was great until they introduced card trading which is done through Facebook so my Facebook account got hacked three separate times trying to trade cards with people in order to complete things. Ultimately, they should’ve just made an engraving trading option, even a battle option where we could mix-and-match to see who can clear a random board faster or get more points. I really hope that somebody in the game development sees my review and makes the changes to get away from having Facebook friends to trade with. It’s fine it’s decently paste. If you get impatient, you will spend money on the game. Most of the offers are pretty good less than five dollars and get you a good hour or two of gameplay. My other suggestion is to allow the idle gaining of the energy to go beyond 100. I feel like when somebody wakes up in the morning if they had 3 to 400 energy they might be more compelled to play during the day and this would probably increase their profits.

Used to be fun, now it’s a scam. When I started playing TT, it was fun. Kind of fed into digital hoarding and hit that feel good for earning achievements. Some strategy went into it, but over all it was mindless and fun. I have spent way too much money and time playing this game and gotten far. I’ve watched many people in various FB groups fall out of love with this game because it takes more and more $ to see real advancement in the game. That bummed me out too but I always believed in spending some in-game money to help support game makers who give me this fun experience. My issue really has come with their latest sets of updates. They keep changing the icons and way producers produce. I spent so much time and energy competing collections but it was for nothing. They updated their producers and took away items in 8 different collections - some that took me months! When I wrote to TT about this, their answer was that those items no longer exist so they can’t return them to me. Gave me 100 energy as compensation… that doesn’t even come close, such an insult. It just makes me not want to play anymore, why should I when all of my progress will be constantly removed for a new “update”. No thank you. Delete.

Made for suckers. Bravo Travel Town. I’ve never played a game that has sucked me in so much that I actually fell for buying bonus packs. Every time I did, I thought to myself, “You are an idiot!” And that is exactly who this game is made for. Suckers. It’s addicting and just when you are sucked into the depths of the game, you run out of energy and need more, so you buy a pack of whatever the sale of the day is thinking you are going to get that bonus, but it’s never there. The card packs we are working on this month are ridiculous. I could have taken a vacation on what I’ve spent on “deals” to earn cards and for weeks I haven’t gotten a single useful card. I have had four incomplete pages for almost three weeks and the side game of the “St. Patty’s Day/Easter” album will be over in 3 days. Well done you for stringing me along to get me to spend so much. I can’t imagine how much other people have spent who have completed the gold albums!! I will be deleting this game. Spending so much and having nothing to show for it but an empty bank account is less than fun. It gets me the “Moron of the Year” award. I should stick to crosswords where at least I use some brain power.

Too many generators. Minor update: to give credit where it’s due, a lot of people were talking about how the generators were clogging up our inventory, and they went and added in a special generator inventory which freed up a lot of space. So, great move. Still weird they have so many (and don’t even use all of the parts within them - unless we revisit them way later) but, hey, small victories They keep adding new ones and you have to store away the old ones. And there is no way to get inventory slots with the basic currency like in EVERY OTHER GAME OF THIS TYPE. It’s still a good merge game though. However, these few things will keep it from being better than some of the others in the genre. But yea, someone else mentioned either adding a generator tab for storage, or, you know… stop adding a million generators/have future orders use the old generators. Of course, I’m sure it’s like this to con you into spending more money to add storage slots. I won’t fall for that, but I will keep playing until it becomes too much of a hassle (at this time I’m level 63 and it’s still manageable). Updated from 3 to 2 after multiple changes to make playing free even less friendly.

Updates= less energy/rewards. I used to like this game because it gave you the opportunity of playing a while with the chests and energy it would give you constantly. It was fun until major updates that happened since 2022 were there’s barely any chests given (unless you pay), barely any energy is given, and NOW in a recent update you can’t even level up and you only give half of the energy (out of 100) you used to give???? Like how do you expect people at higher levels/harder levels (I’m level 56 so I think I have played enough to know) to WANT to play if there’s barely any motivation/rewards/energy you give? Ofc UNLESS YOU PAY..its almost like it’s being forced without telling you to do it. It’s kind of disappointing because I loved this game not bc it was easy but bc the rewards kept me playing…now it’s either I wait hours to play or pay. I don’t know if after this update I want to keep playing. My last straw was this latest update of only getting 50 energy after leveling up. That was the ONLY time you could get a decent chance to keep playing. It should’ve at least stayed the same as before to keep players motivated. Such a disappointment.

Functionality Malfunction. This game is fun! I am an adult (even if I don’t like “adulting” sometimes) and I love to match up to fill orders and upgrade buildings, but every now and then recently, I get the option to play an ad to pop a bubble for a match piece to something, like I was trying to get the other half to the sewing station so I could make the Stitched Panel to complete another order, and the ad button didn’t work! It was a dud! I moved the bubble and it disappeared, leaving the bubble with only the option to spend gems to pop, and me with one less gem than what was required to pop! I’m not spending anymore money on this game, but I’ll make you all (the developers) some money by watching ads if the functionality always worked! To boot, the buttons at the bottom of my app didn’t work either, so I did a hard restart of the app to restore that functionality, but the ad button didn’t reappear. I’d give more stars, but don’t block me like that when it’s already hard enough at higher levels! I’m level 49, almost 50 and it is hard getting the stuff together to upgrade building and earn XP to level up! To bring it around, I might have gotten the money to get the next upgrade and earn enough XP, if only I’d have been able to watch an ad (which I despise but will watch to earn stuff) to get that second half of the sewing station!

Love the game & Support Team BUT going broke!. I found this game while sick, depressed and having anxiety. It was amazing how much it helped me! I really can’t explain why it worked when so many other things did not. I even told my doctor! The graphics are great, the main game is engaging and there are side games and events that keep things busy and interesting. I have had many questions, some technical issues…and I have frequently written to Support. The Support Team is wonderful, caring and empathetic! Love them! I have never bought in app purchases in games before but slowly started in this game since it was really helping me. Aside from the game you are able to trade cards from the card albums with other players and I have had interactions with players in many foreign countries, now with a pen pal friendship with a player in Belize…I am in the USA. Anxiety is now a way of life in my country and so I find great escape and comfort playing Travel Town and look forward to playing every day. I am told some folks only use the free energy you can get to play but that has not been my experience. I justified my spending as it was good for my health and cheaper than more therapy…but I have spent so much now it is really embarrassing and not sustainable on my income! I wish the game was more affordable to play long term. It has been great but expensive!

Great game!. I started playing this game because it was the only one I have found that is anything like Merge Mansion, but it has turned out to be much better, and the storyline is actually interesting in this one (a little weak, but still interesting). I honestly don’t understand why some reviewers are complaining that it is a money grab and impossible to play after a few levels or so. I am level 34 and have not been stuck unable to advance anywhere and I have not had to spend a dime. The only issue is the fossil quest - I eventually gave up on it and googled it, and found out that it drops from the lower level beach bucket. As your beach bucket gets to be higher levels, the chance of it dropping go down drastically. So it took a very long time to get it from my maxed bucket - be sure to get it before you level the beach bucket. Otherwise it is a great game that I have as much fun with now as I did 34 levels ago, and I will probably be still be playing it for a lot longer.

Love it but also don’t…. I love the story line and all of the different generators - it’s less boring because of that. I also really like that you can store some of your lesser used generators so they don’t take up space, and that the building supplies don’t cost energy to free them from the tool boxes. However, for many of the generators you get maybe one special item for every maybe 15-20 regular items, so when a customer asks for higher level special item, it takes many cycles of energy to get it. It’s probably quite literally impossible to complete all daily tasks without spending gems and/or real money. Opportunities to collect gems are sparse. Finally, customers rarely, if ever ask for lesser-valued items once you have a given generator more developed/completed. Except for newly discovered generators, the customers only ask for high level items. Ultimately it is the energy expense of order fulfillment that will cause me to delete this game, I just haven’t…yet. I understand that these developers need the players to spend real money in order for the developers to make money, but when they make it this much of a hassle to progress that I delete the game, what did they really gain?

Great game, horrible customer service. I love this game but it’s getting to the harder levels and I just like to play to relax so when it gets harder it’s less fun for me. Due to that I figured I’d just restart however to do that I have to delete the account. I sent the request, sent mthe pictures and they tell me it will be done according to the policies and such which is fine. I check two days later and redownload it to see if I can start over but I can’t so I email to get an update and they tell me it will be done according to their policies. I look for the policies and previous emails to see if they gave me a timeframe and they didn’t. I ask for them to clarify or even direct me where I can find the information and they respond by saying it will be done according to their policies. I then ask again trying to clarify my question and same response. I understand things take time, I just wanted a general idea or something but they have given the exact same sentence 3 times in a row as if I’m not talking to a real person and I’m not even asking a difficult question. The lack of care to answer a simple question or just say I can’t give you a timeframe is just frustrating.

Utterly Frustrated. I recently started playing this game and enjoyed it until the Halloween update the other day. Now it keeps freezing and takes forever to items merged to their maximum even if I spend actual money to buy more gem and energy packs, it seems me that this recent update has put so much into generating and rewarding album cards for swapping than it does the smooth operation of the game. I prefer my apps bug free, I’ve got plenty of space in my iPad where I play this game and I don’t have apps on in the background so it’s not a question of congested app cache.

Love it but there’s 1 issue. I’m level 49 I love this game and it’s deserving of 5 starts but I’m starting to think it’s impossible for me the get the letters, I’ve spent well over 10,000 energy on the bucket and I haven’t got a single letter, this issue is bugging me because I’ve had the mystery fossil task on my screen since the start and haven’t been able to complete it, also I think a more even drop of materials needs to be sorted, there are certain materials I’m struggling to get whilst having too many of the other ones Absolutely adore this game although these things are bringing it down and that’s why I’ve given it a 4 star

I hate this game. So frustrating playing games when you never have enough energy points and you either have to wait 3-4 hours or buy it yourself. Like it’s just another in-app micro-purchase game and you barely get enough even if you spend your own money. Like this game is not worth paying at all. It gets super boring when you don’t have any energy left and keep having to wait every time just to progress a little bit and then wait again because you’re out of energy and then finally be able to progress some more. Like you lose the rush and the sense of momentum completely. Would not recommend. There are better games out there.

Nice Game, but.... This is a fun little game, with nice graphics that keep the player engaged. The first time you play, you’ll get plenty of play time and energy, but this will decrease considerably with subsequent play sessions. There are a few thing that are quite frustrating as you continue playing... Firstly, using gems to buy extra energy... The first time it costs 50, then 100, then 200, then 400. This is somewhat normal for this style of game, but they usually reset to the lower gem price after 24 hours. Not in this game. After 3 or 4 days of playing it still says 400 gems to purchase 100 energy, which is exorbitant. The gem price to unlock “bubbles” containing bonus items is quite high, too. Lastly, I have merged several items to their highest level and received just 4 gold for selling them off. Most games in this style increase the sell price of an item considerably more, as the item level increases. The concept is great, but many small improvements could be made to make the game a better experience for the player.

My favourite game. This is a great game love it and never get sick of it. It has many features to the game but you don’t get overwhelmed. There is basically no ads. They don’t pressure you to buy things. And it’s not like other merge games the merging is the main part of the game. It evolves and doesn’t get repetitive. The only thing is that it does get annoying is you do have to wait a while for the energy to reload. But overall great game

Progress becoming harder. I used to really enjoy this game but it’s becoming increasingly harder to play and progress. The daily challenges require an impossible amount of money to be earned in 24 hours. The only way to achieve this would be to pay real money. It would be okay if it was once in a while but there are more and more ‘special’ challenges like this. It was more enjoyable when we had the classic ‘spend 5 gems’ and ‘fulfil 5 requests’ daily challenges. I can now play the game for a whole day without achieving a single request as they are all top tier items that require a very high number of merges to achieve. I’m up to level 72 and am about to give up as I feel no sense of achievement or enjoyment anymore.

Small issues. I really like the game, I haven’t had any big issues with it, It’s fun to play and pass the time. The only problem I have, is when the recharge items don’t spit out the different items they offer, It’s not equal. When disbursing objects, for example the herb sack will spit out herbs but only very few herbalist tools. The gazebo will spit out heaps of water drops but very few seeds for the palm tree. I understand wanting to bring people back to keep playing but it needs to be a little more equal. The kitchen robot is something else though, there are 3 different things you can get from this one and yet it only spits out like 5 objects before it needs to recharge, even when you’ve got the top level robot. All the others will spit out so much more before needing to recharge. It took me over a week once to get the second level salad. It’s because of this, it can take weeks and even months before I can complete the requests to earn rewards and level up or upgrade each block on the map.

Regrettably flawed. This game is definitely deserving of five stars, but for a single feature, which may be the most pathetic attempt at extracting money from players that I have ever encountered. Once you have reached a certain level, you can’t interact with the game for more than a minute at a time before it needs to ‘recharge’, and the time that it takes to do so ranges between a minute and an hour. The only way to prevent this from happening is by purchasing diamonds, but the number of diamonds that it takes to fast-track a recharge makes it prohibitively expensive to do so. I get it. You need revenue. That’s fine. Maybe think of a better way of acquiring it: this heavy-handed attempt has ruined the playability of your game and made it functionally worthless.

Fun until later. It is a great game. I understand it gets harder as your level increases, but when most would only come on once or twice a day, it then takes daaaayyysss to earn enough to continue as prices rise. This limits getting rewards like more lives, customer demands become higher and sometimes only one or two met a day, sometimes none in 100 goes which is a bit wild to me. They do have extra comps to earn more but again, a lot harder with such high evolution demands and colossal amounts to save to buy more lands. All to encourage buying in the app I’m sure. Fair enough, but I see uninstalling in the future if it takes 4+ days to get any small thing done. Would love to see prices fluctuate or more mini merge games like recent promotion to get more moves. Alternatively, would love more faster ways to earn these. Once you hit a decent level, you’ll likely need to spend your money to stay entertained.

Addicted!! However don’t waste your money on extra purchases it’s rigged!. Have been playing Travel Town Merge Adventures for many years now and find it to be a perfect dopamine hit for my active AdHD brain!! So it’s a shame I get ripped off badly EVERY TIME I make a special event purchase. making special event purchases. Could be 9 prizes up for grabs after I make payment, I can see the value in them and ALWAYS end up with the one least in value. Don’t waste your money on any extra purchases.

Now I remember why I quit. After all these years there’s still no option to turn off hints? Merge is so boring if the game tells you what to merge, even at level 33. Good to see (not) the game is copying all those others with cards, monthly pass, competing against friends, the usual rubbish. Seems like all the games are owned by the same money grubbing company who have no new, unique ideas anymore, just copying what everyone else is doing. I come back after several years and am bombarded with buy this, do this, look at this in game ads all assuming I’m new to these “new features” that every other merge and town building game is doing these days. Just chuck it all down the sides of the screen out of the way the first time.

Mostly great, couple of annoying features. Enjoyable game, and I like that the items to collect changes as you progress through the game. Dialogue isn’t great but you can turn that off. I don’t love that when you open the game you can get more than a half dozen pop ups to click through everytime. After you have dismissed it once it shouldn’t show again. Some of the producers have a “recharge” time, which is fine, but sometimes you click on one and only spawn one item before it decides it needs its 5 minute recharge even if you have just started playing. Still enjoyable enough for a merge game

A little disappointed. This was a great game. I loved playing it prior to the new update. Since the update though it is so hard to level up. The amount of tool required to be able to build the buildings is far too high and creating the items for the tasks to get the tools is insane with how long it takes. The game is now starting to get very boring as it can take weeks just to get enough items to create an item for a task. I would like to see the developers rethink the last update and maybe re-jig it slightly to reduce the number of items required to complete a task and possibly reduce the number of tools required to upgrade a building.

Fantastic game, but.......... This is a fantastic game, no doubt about it. It has the potential to be my all time favourite, BUT..... It simply takes far too long to regenerate energy and energy is wvhat you go through so quickly. You only get one energy every 2 minutes yet you can easily spens all 100 (if you wait for it to get to 100) in about 2 minutes too. I then have to put the game down foe a few hours or play something else and i often then dont go back to it for much longrr or the next day. This game would be so much better, almost perfect, if you could get energy far quicker. Ive won chests and bought it with gems etc bit it still doesnt cut it. The rate of getting gems is far out of proportion with the rest of the the game. If you want sonething to just use fof a few minutes every few hours, this is for you but if you want sonetging thst you can spend some decent time on (while traveling, waiting for appointments or just whilst relaxing, this will most likely frustrate you with far too much down time and waiting. Thats what its doing to me.

This was my daily game til the last update, I’m done. This game was a challenge but still fun and doable if you made a purchase occasionally and learnt to stockpile items for events. however, this new update has basically made it impossible to play unless you spend $10-$40 per event which is ridiculous and it has made it really unenjoyable with the producers taking so long to recharge and giving out so little so I think I’m off to purchase a game outright and stop wasting my money here since this is pure greed at this point and that greed from the developers has ruined the game and removed the strategy that made it interesting and possible to play without spending a literal fortune on it. Why would I keep paying for this when other merge games exist without the constant push for huge amounts of money that only last an hour or so in the game if that.

Money machine. Waste of time. You will enjoy it for a little while, until they start making the game impossible to play unless you spend your money. You will not be able to play unless you keep buying things. They push you to the point that there is no way but buying. I have never played a game that is so greedy. They make sure you cannot play unless you pay. If you can’t control yourself do not download it. You money will be better off being sent to someone in need, believe me. This game should come with a warning and I’m not even joking. It’s a danger to you if you cannot control the need of spending money. I’ve heard of people who spent $1,000 already and still haven’t been able to complete their albums. I would give zero stars if I could.

Bad now. I’m on level 51, I honestly used to really love playing this game and still kind of do but it’s just really hard to have fun and enjoy it when they’re trying to focus so much on making the company money. The rewards you get for everything are just so much lower and the only way to really make progress is to spend loads of money. I’ve spent a bit over $20 on the game which isn’t a lot but it use to sustain me enough that I would continue purchasing packs every now and then but now it’s just unbearable. This game had so much potential and the developers threw it away because they got to money hungry which I’m really disappointed to see as I know so many of us loved this game. So I’m just saying the game developers should really return the rewards back to where they were cause why did globes go from 100k to 20k in the chest. And don’t even get me started on the daily challenges. They are impossible to finish, I spent $12 on 1200 energy and I barely got 9k. Literally ridiculous

CONSTANT GLITCHES: ITEMS DISAPPEAR FROM BOARD. I really like the game, and play almost everyday, but items that I’ve spent ages making keep discovering from my board. I’ll come to play and the items have vanished and there’s no way to get them back. The first few times it happened I assumed I misclicked something but it’s happening more frequently, and I’ve seen other reviews say that happened to them as well, and it’s making it very hard to like the game when they keep removing your hard work. The constant updates also make it hard to play and don’t really improve the gameplay at all.

Don’t bother. Honestly this game WAS fun in the past but with every update they destroy it further. They make it harder and it is becoming less and less enjoyable. All they want is money and people to spend stupid amounts of it and that’s what ppl need to do to actually make any progress, meet daily or weekly targets and the card system is rigged - It’s not possible to complete all the sets! I no longer enjoy the game because the higher levels you go the harder it gets and just so many frustrating producers which now we can’t even skip from activating. I used to spend money on this game now and then as it was fun. Now I refuse since they’re used money they make for developers to remove the parts of the game many of us enjoy! If they changed things back and allowed players to enjoy playing the game to how they like then so many players may come back to the game rather then deleting which many are. Or like me refusing to spend any more money. Moonactive are greedy and taking advantage of people with addiction & spending problems at this point.

Always out of energy. Good game but you only get 5-10m of play time before you’re out of energy and it takes 2.5 hours to replenish fully. Also the price of more energy (in diamonds) doubles when you buy it - if it stayed at 20 for ~5m play time that would still be too expensive but I’d do it more often. Let us play ads for energy more often. Otherwise the game is fun, though it’s a little weird to get flirty comments when I go out to the main screen like it assumes the whole audience is both a girl and into guys.

Stuck, can’t level up, no point in playing. Used to enjoy this game, played daily, enjoyed the little tiger side quest thing. But now I’m stuck on level 16, have well over 2000 smiley faces, but can’t get enough building materials to be able to complete the jobs, to be able to get exp to level up. I don’t play the game much anymore, except when I’m *REALLY* bored, maybe once a month…because the orders are difficult to complete (example - one right now is a hamburger & the top level sandcastle, & it’s not a building material reward, it’s more smiley faces. The building material rewards are for things I’ve not been able to level up yet - herb house for example. How can I get the building materials to level that up, if what they produce is what gives the building materials‽)

Super great game… mostly. I absolutely love this game and play it all the time, like… every day. The only downside is that the energy depletes super fast and as you progress you can’t really complete any goals without spending real money. The energy you get depletes so fast when trying to get higher level items that you can only play for like a minute before you need to leave the game for a few hours for it to recharge. Don’t get me wrong, I know they need to make money and I have certainly spent money when I feel like sitting down and playing for a long time. It’s just a bit of a shame that I can’t play it like that daily or that it’s probably inaccessible for a lot of people due to the money you’d have to spend to play for any length of time.

Not worth your time. Don’t be fooled by the high rating, this game is not what it was 2 years ago. Since the game has been passed onto new owners there is nothing exciting nor fun about it anymore. The current owners of the game own other gambling games as a bit of insight as to the direction this game is heading into. There is no incentive to play. Missions are impossible to achieve without spending money or ample amounts of time. Simple missions take weeks and months on end to complete - how is this fun? There are certain elements which require you to ‘add’ friends on your personal Facebook account in-order to trade and advance further in the game. All recent updates from this game have clearly demonstrated safety is NOT a forefront of their concern for their players nor enjoyment. Your ‘developer feedback’ and comments are empty lies and hold no value nor do you actually take into account and listen to your players. Congratulations on shooting yourself in the foot and crushing what was once a great game. I will be deleting and no longer playing myself and I warn others from playing either.

Updates. When I first started playing the game was easy but kept getting stuck with no room. Then the update came and we were all reset to level one with heaps of gems. I thought why not let’s give it a go. It was made a little more interesting but levelling up is harder, a lot harder. I’m stuck on level 18 now as the need for tools to update buildings is way too high and I’ve got plenty of coins for it. The daily one of needing to produce, collect is ok but having to spend 10 gems everyday for it is annoying when it’s now a lot harder to earn them back. So I’ve stopped spending them on anything as before you could easily get them back and now your lucky to get 10 in a week. Another update and you get less items out of the bag for the camera instead of plenty I now only got 4 which isn’t enough for one camera and it has a very long time to reset. The lavender one needs to reset more often as it takes forever and you need so much to get the jar full for the tea etc that’s needed for the majority of tasks. It’s now annoying to play and I’ve moved on to others that will hopefully not go down the path of making it so hard it’s not worth playing. I can’t even spend all the energy getting things for quests anymore. Put it back to the way it was and make items produce more when used and regenerate faster and stop forcing people to spend gems daily which will eventually make them spend money, just becomes greedy.

Needs some improvements. New to playing the game and loving it but as I’ve progressed the need to buy diamonds to continue playing is getting ridiculous. Diamonds run out SO fast and it takes so long to accumulate more energy without buying diamonds. I don’t mind paying sometimes but the current way it is structured is ruining the flow of the game. Other games I play offer to buy items but you can also “win” or “earn” items to allow you to continue playing. Please add more features like this so we can earn more diamonds.

Never enough time?. Even after the clock resets to 2 minutes, you get only 1-2 moves before you’re out of “time” despite the clock still having time left? I thought as a one-off I’d buy the starter pack so I’d top up all the levels? That was a waste of $ because you still lose time! Instructions would be useful because I’m not buying any more topups if they don’t deliver anything that will help the game go longer. It’s also really annoying when the chat pops up! I’m not interested in chatting with others, I just want to lay a game! It’s also nothing like the ad that attracted me in the first place? That looked interesting but apart from the icons, there’s no resemblance to the actual game? There’s better options, so I’m deleting it.

Issues and bugs!. I just downloaded the game and it’s saying I have the stuff for a order but I don’t and i have tried everything to stop say give this to the person but it doesn’t have the go button n I can’t do anything so fix this and make it so when u first download the app people can choose if they want the tutorial or not bc I actually hate it and my friend has this game as well and I play it on her phone sometimes and it says lost internet connection but she has internet so fix the issues. Thankyou. Sorry if I m being rude but I just don’t like it how theses things happen

Expensive to enjoy. Started off a good game but the more cash you spend the harder it gets. Need to spend around $10 a day to enjoy an hr of play. Way too expensive! Or you play for 2 mins and wait an hr. There are items that you can use to produce better items but it takes forever to get what you need to make the converter so you just end up with all these useless items that you have to delete to make room. Have just deleted it after spending $100’s over 4-5 months. Don’t waste your time getting started! Plenty of similar games that don’t cost or are cheaper if you need

Pay to play. You run out of energy fast, its okay when youre low level because you get chests or energy from levelling up but later i can play the game for 10mins before i have to wait til the next day or something. Then it lasts another 10mins. Its frustrating because i WANT to play your game but i cant. They just want u to spend money, they even stop offering ads for energy. If they do its like once a day. Also you should reward more diamonds for higher matching items, you dont even get a big reward for completing a set. You dont give regular players anything for playing the game and you cant even grind it either. If you want to progress, you have to spend money. This is just a waiting game. Please work on this. The game is fun.

Please less time to wait for boat, restaurant etc....? 🙁. 16th March ‘21. Seriously getting fed up with waiting for boat etc... to have approx 10 taps before waiting another 5-10mins if you’re lucky before being able to tap again. 😡 At the point where I’ll be deleting game if there are no changes to this ridiculous waiting time. People aren’t going to spend money or like in my case continue to spend money on a game that you can’t really play for any good length of time. 9th March ‘21. I’m loving this game but have saved up sooo much energy that now I’m getting frustrated waiting for boat, camera & restaurant to ‘recharge’ before I can complete any orders because all the quests aside from merge items is for those items from them. I have 1200 energy sitting in storage that I can’t use unless I want to fill board with items I don’t need ☹️ Please make it less time for them to recharge or get rid of that idea altogether because it’s very frustrating not being able to complete quests in a game I’ve found to enjoy so much. Thank you Lee

Better when you’re starting out. It’s an alright game as you start out and progress through building new buildings, but as you level up, it starts to get boring. If you were level 5, it might only take you one day to upgrade a building because of how cheap it may be and how easy it is to attain the money and materials If you’re level 70, it’s expensive to afford a $124,000 upgrade where the only orders can pay up to $20,000, and those orders require items that take more than 100+ energy to obtain, so it takes almost three whole days to even get close to affording the next upgrade, only for it to increase again.

Money grubbing and inept people run app. Monthly updates and ‘changes’ to gaming experience are out of touch with what draws you to the game. The production company takes away merged items that take days to repetitively play to gain those level of merged icons that give decent rewards ingame or activates certain treasure chests that aid with leveling up and when you send concerns to support services they are so colourful in response claiming it’s an exciting new experience with can make the experience more rewarding and enjoyable but how does taking away ingame accessible rewards make the game experience more enjoyable. It’s not what they used to be and have gone the way of money grubbing ads to make you pay to play

Long time player; dispenser idea. Okay so i love this game so much its litrally part of me and I had this great idea for a dispenser so i was doing loom bands and was like “ hmmmm this would be an awesome dispenser for travel town level one could be like on loom band then level 2 can be 3 loom bands and then a ring then a bracket then a necklace then so and so! The dispenser can start of as a nearly empty loom band box’s then can gradually fill then overflow and stuff!!!! Please read this and totally consider it because i think it would be awesome and so we my friends, we all play it and it would make us soooo happy to see this even in an event or something. But either way i love this game and totally recommended it! PLEASE CONSIDER AND TY FOR MAKING THIS EPIC GAME ❤️

Game’s fun, but with a problem. This game? Absolutely addictive, but it’s so annoying when you are about to complete a task but the producer gets destroyed. Few hours ago, I was trying to complete a challenge, but a day ends at six pm here so when I try to finish a daily challenge, I can’t because of this 6 pm problem. And the energy always runs out. The updates? Trying to update now. Overall, if there was one solved, five stars was the best answer.

Enjoyable if you’re not ambitious. I have been playing the game for a few months now and was enjoying it but thought that it was hard to level up without paying for boosters. The new update has made it even harder to complete each category of items, which means it’s less notable now than before. It takes 2 hours to refill your energy, and you can’t achieve much progress with that in about 25 items at 4 x, leading to just a couple of minutes to play the game. The opportunities to gain energy for free is so limited it’s almost not worth watching the ads anymore. I’m really considering to delete the game because of these two points.

Enjoyable. I’m enjoying the game but both the board and inventory don’t have enough spaces. Frankly, there is enough background space to add two (2) more columns in both the playing area and the inventory. Also, in inventory, can you please create a third (3rd) storage tab to store the inventory creators (I don’t know what to call them) that aren’t needed to fill out requests, please? That will stop them from taking up space on both the playing board and regular inventory tab.

Worse merge game. I been playing this game 4 about a month. When you get the bubble items doesn’t till how long for them to pop. When your production items are charging again no time. There’s no clarification on new areas open up, eg. this section unlock at level 23 etc. You can’t finish the daily task unless you put tons of money it the game, I’m sorry it just another P2W to progress in the game. Update: When you put in a ticket for your account to be deleted, you get email from support saying we need more details they don’t brother to look at the screenshot that was provided as their game retrieve the data they asking for. The support don’t know how the game works.

Fun, but…... I do enjoy this game and I’ve been playing for a while. HOWEVER… So. Many. Pop-ups. No I don’t want to invite friends, no I don’t want to buy gems, yes I’m aware I’m out of energy- I don’t need 3 reminders each time or invites to buy gems/energy. I don’t care about the offers. Just stop! It also feels impossibly to progress without spending money on extra energy/gems which seriously takes the fun out, and even if you do spend the money you don’t get much bang for your buck. A fun little game, but a lot of negatives.

Great game. I am really enjoying this game and have been playing it for quite some time. The only suggestion I have for the developers is to include some other setting in addition to the Jungle - India with different features which would make it much more exciting. The reason is whenever the Jungle comes as an additional sub-game it becomes repetitive and predictable as you have to start from scratch each time. If you introduce other countries/themes/features that would be awesome.

Starts great, too hard to get gems. I really enjoyed playing this game for the first day. But then it became impossible to get the gems needed to get enough energy to open and match items. One click per 2min stops this from being a great game unless you spend real money, and the real money value doesn’t equal enough gems to make it worthwhile. You get 5-10min game play per day then have to wait 24hr to accrue enough energy to do anything with it. You can’t get the items the town needs to move on to the next build. If gems were earnable without spending actual money this would be 5/5 game. There’s no “watch an ad” option either to earn gems.

Recent update has ruined this game. I use to love playing this and spent hundreds of dollars on powerups, something I never ever do for any other games. But this one was so fun that I happily spent the money. However the recent update has absolutely destroyed this game and it is NO FUN ANYMORE. There’s no way to earn powers during the game. The little bubbles that used to contain powers now only give you coins which are pretty useless. The new design of the lightning powers and coins are so ugly that they ruin the look of the game, the illustration style is so incongruent with the rest of the items, which are adorable. They now look cheap and nasty. PLEASE bring back the old designs and turn the coins back into smileys. I don’t enjoy this anymore and DEFINITELY won’t be spending any more money on it. Such a shame

Love the game!. I love this game I am so addicted. There are some aspects I would love the game developer to consider though. Daily challenges are not in my time zone as it restarts just before I go to sleep, so it’s harder to complete them. Also if you maybe add more orders to complete so you actually unlock all the items in your collection book thing rather than going back and unlocking it. It would also be sooooo beneficial to make this game offline.

So ridiculous and such a money grab!. You used to be able to play this game daily with no actually cost and now you need 10 diamonds everyday to complete tasks. I get this is no a ‘beta game’ but before it wasn’t and it worked well. I didn’t receive any compensation for the diamonds I had spent on the last version for this one (with real money). Diamonds are so rare (and they’re needed daily) I’ve only got 8 after 3 weeks. The materials needed to build the levels make no sense and what you get for completing levels Has no effect. I used to love this game and now you Have to pay real money everyday to complete tasks and where did the tiger place level go I was doing?? It just disappeared which is so typical for this game i guess . Fix it please and stop just being a money grab

Highly recommend!. This merge game is everything that you want the other merge games to be. It outshines and outlasts all the ones I've played. Energy is cheaper, spawners last longer and are varied and branched. It's not easy, it's very challenging but has plenty of ways to get items off the board. I've been stuck a couple of times so far. but never to the point of frustration. You're not pushed to buy gems but what's available is well priced The storyline is good, the characters are cute and diverse, the graphics are excellent. it's a long game, I've been playing a month and still haven't completed anywhere near all my merge lines or even my spawn lines. I have nothing negative to say. Great game! Well done!!

Great! Except….. This is a great game that I really enjoy, it’s relaxing yet has a purpose. The only reason for the 3 stars is the constant throttling of energy. To really build a game into daily playing, you need to love it and it’s hard to really love it when you can only play for such a short time before having to wait hours for more energy. I’m guessing it’s supposed to be “strategic” but it is actually just frustrating and gets me out of the habit of playing. I don’t mind watching ads for more energy but you can only do that 3-4 times a day. So I just move on to another game instead.

Fun but unplayable. Unlike most games, where you can grind through ad watching to gain more energy, this game only provides a small number of ads to get energy a day as a free option to players to continue game play. When energy does replenish with time, it’s not enough to actually make any progress on the game. Also, the game doesn’t match how it’s advertised. If there were some mini games like the ones in their ads that you could play while energy is replenishing that would make it a bit more worthwhile.

Expensive to progress. Fun if you want to fit in a few minutes a day but Without spending real money progress gets really slow at higher levels, I’m on 42 and saving up for the coins to upgrade is a grind. The items also get harder to reach I’ll use the 100 energy given in two minutes then hours later it will recharge then the next 100 I’ll use in two minutes rinse and repeat it takes days of doing this to complete the 1 quest and then numerous quests to upgrade 1 building buildings require 7-8 upgrades it is sloooow going.

Started out ok. Game play is good, only ads you get are the ones you choose to watch to help progress with an action however it is targeted for you to spend real money, which is fine if you’re enjoying the game, but there is a pottery wheel that you have to tap around 7-8 times counting toward your energy spend just to get one item from it, and since you need to get many items to merge them your energy depletes fast not to mention it also spits out failed items which you need to use energy to get rid of them! (7 hits to remove) this then means you have no energy left to obtain any of the other challenges, the daily challenges are hard to complete unless you’re spending real money, got to level 29 and have deleted the game, if you have patience you can get through the levels but will hardly make the daily missions unless you spend money on it, I may have kept the game longer but the pottery wheel is just useless and makes the game worthless spending so much energy to attempt to get the items you need and chance’s are it will take a couple of days to obtain them. Definitely not worth my time when there are so many other merge games out there. The game board is very small, so no room to hold everything especially failed items, the storage box is small so you have to spend diamonds to make it larger there’s just to many faults to keep playing

Predatory, manipulative, and financially shady. Travel Town isn’t a game, it’s a dopamine trap dressed up as casual fun. It’s clearly engineered to exploit compulsive behaviour, nudging players into endless microtransactions with artificial scarcity, aggressive timers, and constant pressure to spend “just a little more” to keep progressing. What makes this unforgivable is that I was overcharged for months. Payments kept going through with minimal transparency, and the game does absolutely nothing to protect players from accidental, repeated, or unclear charges. Customer support was unhelpful and dismissive, offering canned responses instead of real accountability. This game preys on the same psychological hooks used in gambling — frustration cycles, near-misses, and reward withholding — all designed to drain your wallet while pretending to be harmless entertainment. It’s especially irresponsible given how accessible it is to vulnerable people. If you value your time, your money, or your mental health, stay far away. There are plenty of games that respect their players. This isn’t one of them.

Could be better. This is my favourite game, however I’m currently on level 53 and the game expects you to get a level 10 item but yet, out of 100 energy I get every hour I get no where close to what I’m supposed to be. I’ll get only one thing I need out of that whole 100 energy and that’s not even close to what I need to get. It’s frustrating going back every hour and using all your energy just to pretty much receive things you either don’t need or only one or two things you need. Make it easier to get energy and don’t put two different categories in the same producer. For example the stationery display all I get is pens and pencils when I actually need the paper it’s deeply infuriating to deal with. Fix this.

The game doesn’t give the energy you need to win challenges. If not paying for extra energy there is no way of completing the challenges or races to win the prizes to keep moving. It’s a fun game but it will be uninstalled soon and I’m not going to pay just to make a little bit of progress throughout the day. Otherwise, prizes are like 10-40 energy and some orders they want you to make take hundreds of energy. Even playing all day and using gems to buy energy still not get you there. I would not recommend to download as it will be disappointing.

Recharging. All the fun sucked out of this game when you get five pieces before needing to recharge. It was fun for awhile.

They ruined it! 😞. This USED to be my favorite game, but recent updates to the game make it impossible to complete daily tasks/challenges without spending money. Very disappointed. Will be finding a new game

Travel Town. A little disappointing, fun game but uses up your energy & it takes forever to accumulate points. Makes it impossible to get the high points. Wasted time

Update is terrible!. I used to love the game and did actually spend money each month but I’m done with the game now. I don’t have all day to play and don’t want to. It’s impossible now. I’m done. I’m off to find a new game.

They ruined it. Devs just greedy, ruined game. Unless you want to spend $$$ there’s no point in playing it now.

Travel Town is on its way out because of greed. Travel Town developers with the latest update, have shown their immense greed, as it’s impossible to complete game tasks anymore without spending money. I don’t mind spending money I choose to, but this is forced on people if you want to continue to play.

Unrealistic tasks to win is irritating.. I left the game for almost most of this year and came back and saw there were enhancements made, and saw the golden shopping competition and thought okay give it a go. Then the next day it was soccer. At least that last for 3 days. But to advance I had to merge forever - fricken wine cork horses and a whole pumpkin? And this level for 20 times? Like you think I have all day to do this. Even the entire day is not enough, unless I spent hundreds and hundreds of gems. And today, another competition? Seriously you’re desperate for in app purchase I get it. All the games I have I will always make one to acknowledge the efforts of the developers. But this….this is just plain greedy. I’m tired of this game after 4 days!

Bugs. Keeps freezing since the latest update. Very frustating.

Hmm. 1. Game is not what’s advertised in ads (shells falling and merging in the shore line) 2. I will admit, the game is fun, but takes forever to get energy, and you run out so quickly that you’re really only playing for 5-10 minutes before you’d have to pay money. 3. Pushes you to spend money on energy, multiple pop ups, and makes energy so hard to get that you’d really have to buy it to move forward. If you use jewels to buy energy, it doubles cost each time. The only good news is, it resets each day so you have the opportunity to buy energy with a small amount of jewels each day, but it gets harder to get jewels each day too. 4. Its set up so if you don’t spend money, you’ll be waiting and playing for days to achieve one goal. 5. Just beware they give you multiple free energy’s at first so you really fall in love with the game so you are enticed to spend your money. In this economy, it would be foolish to have to spend so much money to excel in a game. It is fun, and I want to spend the money everyday, but it’s not possible, so the game gets frustrating very quickly.

Apple is showing incorrect rating. This app has SO many 1 & 2 star reviews for a reason! Apple is not showing the real players opinion of this game based on old reviews that are no longer relevant ! They have changed the economy in the game making it virtually impossible to play for more than a few minutes every couple hours. Every moment of “game play” costs energy that does not last. You cannot beat higher levels in this game without wasting WEEKS of your time unless you want to spend money- to which there is no benefit. You get a one time chest or energy that’s gone in 10 minutes and you’re back in the same spot you were. GREEDY DEVELOPERS! DO NOT BUY FROM THEM.

Love Hate Relationship. I have been playing over a year now. When I didn’t understand the strategy, I actually enjoyed the game. Ignorance is bliss. Then I was sucked into the game play and didn’t realize right away that I would not be able to complete most daily or weekly goals without spending money. I even asked for iTunes gift cards for Christmas so I could play. The graphics are adorable and the extra side game play intriguing, BUT the developers are greedy and “fixed” any sort of glitches or tricks making the game play even more difficult. For instance, until today, I was at least able to use the free energy producers to meet daily challenges, even though I’d spend gems to speed them up. Anyways, add the game at your own risk. You may become addicted and spend more money than you ever thought.

ew. i used to like this game but it just got so ugly with the new update 😭 they literally made everything worse

Good game but poor implementations. I wrote a few months ago that the game is fluid and dynamic until you reach higher levels. Well, it gets worse the further you progress. I’m currently on level 69 and here’s the scenario: any task requires at least 300 touches. However, you start with a maximum of 100 touches. Considering you acquire one each 2 minutes, that means you’d need approximately 9 hours to finish a task if you don’t buy credits or watch adds and start from 0. If you watch the adds and purchase 100 touches for 10 gems, that’s still 3 hours. Considering there are daily challenges that vary on number of tasks to complete, it is highly unlikely you’ll complete them. Even if you were to splurge and buy items to complete the tasks, we are talking here on average 80 gems per item - considering less than 300 gems go for about 7 dollars… you can do the math. The worst part is that the game doesn’t become more challenging or change actually. It just becomes unplayable if you don’t put money.

Generally a great game.. I sometimes get frustrated that I can never finish the times specials but then I remember that it is a game. I enjoy playing so I remind myself that it’s the journey not the destination that matters.

Do not download this game for a child. It will cost you unauthorized payments

Gone down the drain. Used to be fun, but the developers got too greedy. Recent updates make it so you’d have to spend a ton of money to ever meet the daily goals. If you do spend money, it increases the prices the next time - like $40 for an hour of gameplay. Don’t bother getting sucked in, choose a different merge game.

Greedy. They want nothing but money

Disappointed player. Travel town used to be fun but the developers became too greedy. It is not a player friendly game. All the algorithms go against the player. It’s fun at first but it’s literally impossible to advance or complete the side challenges without spending money. Don’t waste your time downloading this game.

UNAPPROVED PURCHASES FROM APP. Really enjoyed this game until charges were made on my credit card without approval. Apple refunded me for the 2 charges. I reached out to the game developers and heard nothing back. Very strange how 2 separate transactions went though without any notification or approval. As well as, what I apparently paid for- I never received in the app. Had I not looked into my credit card charges I never would have know. Please be aware and check any cards you have associated to your Apple account. It was only $20.14- but that would add up quickly.

Greedy company. Fun game, but no longer playing it because they are greedy AF. Can't even finish challenges or play they game without having to spend 100's of dollars. (Not even kidding) greedy company. Won't play it ever again

Less fun than your think and waaay expensive.. I’ve had this about 2 weeks and I’m deleting it. It bugs out and I don’t receive prizes for some challenges and it’s very hard not to spend money on this game. Energy and resources run out really easily. It’s just a scam to get your money. I purchased 3 packs to get through a daily challenge for a particular prize and it bugged out and I couldn’t even get a refund and my game rolled back. Very frustrating and disappointing.

Achat perdu. J’ai acheté un bundle d’énergie plus cristaux pour avancer loin dans l’univers kyoto et l’app s’est refresh et j’ai perdu les dits cristaux et énergie et je n’arrive plus à retourner dans l’univers kyoto…… possible d’avoir un remboursement ??? J’adore le jeu, mais je trouve ça inacceptable. J’ai l’impression de m’être fait voler.

Loading issues. This game constantly has loading issues. Can go for days without being able to load.

Fake advertising. Love this game, but it says I’d you invite 2 friends and they make it to level 6 you’ll get 100 energy, so I invited friends and I never got my energy that I was supposed to get, not cool! And why does the price of energy go up each time you spend on it that spent make sense, please fix ur game

Fun until most recent update. It’s fun but the app is too greedy. Why does the cost of energy go up with each successive buy? And now we have to wait for the kitchen robot to “recharge” even though it does not dispense power ups and costs energy which makes 0 sense. Never had to sit for the recharge before. Would’ve given 4 stars until this update which is beyond stupid.

Du vol présentement. Je joue à ce jeu ça fait des longs mois et je n’ai jamais autant dépensé pour un jeu et c’est la dernière fois. Des défis quotidiens et hebdomadaire devenus difficiles à remporter. Des récompenses aléatoires et des articles qui nécessite des énergies logiques impossibles à avoir sans utiliser l’argent réels. J’attends de finir mes diamants pour désinstaller ce jeu.

money hungry app, choose another merge game!. After months and months of playing, money spent, and made it to level 105, the game has officially lost all its appeal after its most recent update. past level 55, you can no longer complete orders, or it will take you days and days, making the game impossible unless you spend hundreds of dollars. ridiculous.

You need items you haven’t unlocked to upgrade. There are items you need to give customers that you can’t buy or unlock and you’re just stuck. There’s no way to move forward. It’s ridiculous. You can’t skip a customer either so you’re permanently blocked from moving forward at all.

Harder since upgrade. Let me start by saying that I totally loved this game and played it constantly BEFORE the major update. However, now I hardly play it. If I could give it zero star I would. You need upwards to 30 (or more) tools to be able to upgrade the buildings, and they are very time consuming and nearly impossible to get. I haven’t been able to upgrade any of of my buildings in a month. I understand the concept of needing tools for the purpose of “building” your shops, but to need that amount of tools is seriously overboard. The costumers who have tool boxes as payment requires items that are very time consuming to acquire because of the wait time between drops. I have had costumers on my list for weeks that I can’t clear because I can’t get their order completed. The easy customer items that could be done within 100 moves do not give tool boxes. I’m not sure how much longer I’ll keep this game. It feels more like a chore then a pleasant past time.

Sucks!!. The newest version of the game activates producers automatically leaving you no choice but to spend more and run out of room on the tiny board. There’s no strategy now except to cross your fingers and hope you can finish a level. What’s the point of having activation orders to activate a producer if the game by-passes those for you. I’ve restarted the game twice to see if it would get better and it definitely doesn’t.

Don’t pay to play!!! They’ll double charge you.. This game is great. I really enjoyed it. I purchased a “amazing offer” of extra coins and diamonds for $9.99. Each amazing offer is available once, then you have to purchase the next offer, of higher value. I was double charged for this offer I purchased. It’s clearly a double charge, as on my receipt both charges are for the same offer, with the same 4 digit “offer code”. I requested a refund, only for the extra $9.99 I was charged, and was denied. I asked for a review again and pointed out the proof that it was a double charge, and was still denied. I’m happy to support apps and their development through purchases of additional advantages, but this app will outright steal your money and refuse to return it. Deleting the app and sharing my experience here for others. Buyer beware. I will be contacting my credit card to report the fraudulent charge.

Used to be fun. Honestly used to love this game. Every new update they made it harder and harder to play the game for free…. What do I watch your ads for? I’d pass unless you want to pay for the game.

Don’t Bother: Money Grab. This game was a fun way to decompress, until it’s greed over took that. Progressing past a certain point is contingent on spending real money. Then, when you get to the Pottery Level? Well, might as well stop. WHY on EARTH would someone create something that you can’t delete and that you MUST use that takes away your energy, only to give you 1 coin after 4 energy losses??? I mean, why bother making the game if you’re just going to make it impossible to play at a certain point. Waste of time. Don’t bother.

Preview game is not the level you start at. If you advertise a level I enjoy playing, then if I agree to download app, I should be able to play the same game.

Forced update now can’t play. Really hate forced updates. Again this one causes me to be unable to play. Stop forcing updates that don’t work.

Started fun, got overly complicated. Don’t start this game if you don’t like like taking weeks to compete an order (one of dozens of daily goals you’ll need to accomplish, btw—literally, sometimes 30+ orders a day). Like most games, the goal is to get you to spend money but without thousands of diamonds you stand no chance of finishing their seasonal challenges. I’ll spend money here and there on games I feel it will help boost me to reach the next level—not this game. There’s no amount that will help me finish or win anything bc I can’t bring myself to spend that much. Oh, and this game is still in “beta”, despite charging for and managing the game like they have expansion packs and an extended world experience. Don’t bother with this game if you don’t want to commit your full day to waiting for the producers (that you’ll just stash in storage after 2 weeks when you’ve advanced past them) to recharge so you can fill AN order or two. 🙄

Zero star energy hbhh. Don’t download this game. It sucks and is a greedy money hungry game!! I’m deleting it.

Frustrating grind fest. I wish I had discovered Travel Town before the update the recent reviews talk about... they say the game got harder. I don’t know how it was before, but with the version I’m playing , it’s painfully difficult to level up if you do not want to spend money on microtransactions. At first, Travel Town is fun but when you get past lvl10, it starts getting tedious to the point where the game ceased to be entertaining and simply becomes frustrating. Not worth your time and certainly not your money.

greedy company. fun and all till you noticed thats its not rng. they control whats getting drop to force you to buy or just end up not finishing the quest. would not recommend for feee to play players.

Don’t believe the ads. I’ve played this game for quite some time now and had one friend play after an invite and I got one half of my bar filled. So I got my fiancé to play so I could get the 200 life it says you will get and never did receive it. False advertising for sure!!

Money grab. This game is absolutely geared to make you spend money, you can play free for five minutes and energy is out. Too bad for you. Walk away.

Do not download. This game is a scam and when I went to delete it they would not. It’s been a week of me going back n forth with all the information they asked for and still they would not delete it. Never had an app do this. Plz avoid

Terrible. Game is too expensive to continue to play. Becomes obvious as you progress that the game is a major money grab. It’s impossible to enjoy playing for any length of time without spending ridiculous amounts of money. And the game seems to be manipulated to impede progress in order to get you to spend more money. Extremely frustrating. One of the greediest game apps I’ve ever played. Will be deleting.

Greedy Developers have cost them another player. Recent update ruined the game for me. I enjoyed playing the game my way but the developers don’t want you to be able to play without spending money. So they updated it and took away options for people to play certain ways. If you have no patience for waiting 2 or more days to advance a tiny bit do NOT download this game. Unless you plan to pay hundreds of dollars to play. I’ll be quitting and deleting once I run out of energy.

Fun but impossible. This game has nice graphics and is fun to play, but the daily and monthly challenges are impossible to achieve. Even if one spends $ every day, the tasks just can’t be completed and rewards aren’t collected. There are better merge games that are more generous with rewards. Play those instead.

It’s a scam game. Latest update is horrible decision. The game only want to take your money because they giving impossible task to complete. I deleted this game

No money, don't play this game. It was fun until you get higher level. An order can take 3-4 days to complete and it reduces entertainments. It looks like I have to log in everyday to finish my task rather than getting relaxed from work. I delete it too.

Fun… but!. Impossible to meet daily challenges without spending money. I don’t mind spending a bit here and there but this game wants you to spend $$$ to have any kind of progress, or else you wait for days to actually complete tasks. The orders cost more as you progress, coins collected, not at the same pace. So I find I’m just getting frustrated with the whole game. I think it’s almost time to delete it.

Recent update. Was having fun with this game until last update and now have to wait for recharge times. Ridiculous! Will likely stop playing as it’s just too frustrating.

Fun but OOF the bugs!!. I love this game and I downloaded it from the ads I was seeing on the other mobile games that I have. In the beginning it was really fun the app ran smoothly and there were no bugs but lately there have been more and more popping up. Here are some of the main ones I’ve noticed: 1. App loading into a blue screen and freezing. Sometimes when I open travel town the game loads in but then it just brings me to a blue screen. Maybe I’m just impatient and I don’t wait long enough but sometimes I’m sitting there waiting for the game to load in and I’m just stuck on a blue screen and I’m forced to restart the app. 2. Orders not showing up. Sometimes I exit the app to a different app or I’m opening travel town and it loads in just fine but the orders either are wrong (are event orders) or they just aren’t there. 3. Event bugs. Sometimes the event orders pop up in the regular orders area and I can’t see the regular orders and sometimes vice versa. 4. Window covering orders. Lately I’ve realized the daily collecting thing (the one with the coins I forgot the name of) pops up as a little slide animation and slides out, covering the orders. Then sometimes it goes back but sometimes it stays there and I can’t see what the customer ordered. I also can’t slide the orders to the side to see bc it won’t let me. Regardless, these are some small problems I’ve noticed but overall it’s a great game! If these bugs get fixed it’ll be an instant 5 stars from me :)

Great game for 36 levels. I really love this game. Usually I'm bored to death by the plot lines in games but I love the conversations and the little people and always want to read more. The matching game is a good balance of thought, luck, and persistence. But I completely agree with the reviewer who says the game peters out after level 41. I've limped along to level 47 hoping it would pick up again, but I'm about to give up. I've only got 3 goals at a time, and they're all for items that take a really long time to recharge, so I check in, tap the items a few times, and that's pretty much all that's worth doing. Sometimes I make a bunch of seashells and sell them but you really don't get much money for that. When I fulfill a goal I get another, but it's the same situation. One of my goals is for a level 2 key, and I've only gotten 1 key ever so I just keep waiting. Maybe I'll check back in a few months and see if it's recovered.

So unbalanced. This game I love and enjoy playing it maybe too much, but it is so unbalanced. The energy never goes down or up the more you level up. You go through 100 energy like nothing and have to wait all day to rebuild up half. The card events you only get duplicates and the same cards over and over again. Then when you do get friends to trade or donate the game still gives you duplicates or you need gold cards that you have to get from spending money which I refuse to do. When you need 7 gold cards finish the 135 set but can’t because the “gold packs” are giving all the cards you already have you start to notice the game is broken or rigged. Also when you have three cards that are normal cards but everyone else needs them too that’s not fair This time around it was the Sweet Heart card when you see over 200 people needing the same card it’s time to fix the game. Just my opinion

Board is way too SMALL for items. This game has just become too stressful. You can’t advance without spending money, which I luckily have not done yet. You get capped at 100 energy and sometimes it takes well over 10,000 energy to fulfill one order. It takes about 2 hours of just waiting to get 100 energy. It took me about a week to fill one order. That’s frustrating. There are so many times and you never know what you will receive so then you have all these times you don’t need right at that moment filling up your board that you know you will need later. If your board is full you are stuck. So basically you get to the point where you can’t do anything due to a small board. I like the game and it is addicting but now it has just become frustrating and annoying, so better to just delete. If I am at only level 24 and it is is this hard to accomplish anything then I can’t imagine how bad it will be when I get to higher levels. Probably impossible not spend money and their money packages are terrible and not worth it.

I love it just some tips. First of all I really love your game and I find it super entertaining, but I do have a couple things to add. First is that you should spend coins to buy items you need not gems. Second, You should add more orders for different producers we’ve already unlocked. Third, when there is a special game mode for a different holiday or season, if you get any building materials they should go to your board in the other game mode. Fourth, items that are ordered should be worth more coins, for example something on stage 8 should be worth 6,000 coins or so not 2,000. Fifth, we should get more storage or a bigger board to merge things. Lastly, you should be able to buy building materials like concrete and bricks with coins. Thank you so much and I hope this helped and you could possibly add some of this to the game!!

Cute and fun but tons of issues. Story and game pieces are great. But each building that makes items can only produce a few until it stops and recharges. This is the worst part of the game. I'm on level 42 and the orders can take days of work to fill. Thus it's really hard to do anything. I've got 1200 energy because of the energy crates and I can only use 20 energy a day because all of the buildings lock up. Many don't unlock for 20 minutes. Very frustrating. Someone compared it to Merge Mansion, so I downloaded that one to compare. It works so much better. The game play is way better and it's almost identical to travel town. More review......some buildings never get orders so they just sit. If you want to use your energy to make stuff randomly your board gets full and you need to sell stuff for very few coins. Items that took you days to make are sold for almost nothing. If your lucky and can fill an order the price paid doesn't match how long it took you to make it. I've had items I've made in the beginning that are never ordered. Some orders are for really rare items you never get and the orders just sit. Refreshing the orders would be nice. Like other games there are slots and if you refresh an order you don't get another for 24hrs. That's fair. Each item should show a value so you can decide if you want to sell. I'm really hoping an update is in the next week. Or I'll delete game. I don't recommend playing. It's very frustrating.

Fun but don’t spend $ on it. This game cheats you big time!…Lots! Bubbles that are supposed to pop & give you a match, to up the level won’t pop or it’ll just disappear. Adds that are supposed to play to give you extra life won’t give you extra after you watch the add/s. At times when you play for an extended time & all your items that are to match up to get to the goal, they stop matching up just before you get to the last one.😖 The extra ‘seasonal’ add on games won’t allow you to win on those either. You do good at first but then the games stops putting out anything just when you get close to winning, so you cannot win! So frustrating! The only reason I play is because it helps pass time, but I’m glad I don’t spend $ on it. And items you have saved & you go to retrieve when needed… yeah they have all of a sudden disappeared! When you know they were there & now there’s a vacant spot all of a sudden!🤔

Don’t download this game. UPDATE: this will be a lesson in how to wreck a game. I’m done and it sounds like many others are too. Greedy developers just destroyed what made many of us addicted. Orders from too many producers at once makes it impossible to fill orders and you end up having a hugely cluttered board which I hate. I paid real money to play often but there’s really no point anymore. As soon as all my energy and diamonds are gone I really am done this time. This game is very addicting. I’ve spent way more than I should. But they finally updated in a way that I’m done. I finally reached a point where my free producers and one or two regular producers worked and I could keep up and had an organized board and storage. I’m now getting orders from producers that were in my storage and it’s impossible to fill orders with a reasonable amount of energy. I’m a little bit thankful that it’s finally not worth playing and I can delete the game. It definitely sucked up way too much time and energy (pun intended) and money.

Good game. Overall, this is an enjoyable game that requires a lot of patience. One annoying thing is the MYSTERIOUS fossil order that has been on my screen for AGES (probably 20 levels at this point). Looking it up, it seems to be a common issue for people, with many even restarting the game from VERY high levels to go back to when they regularly had to use the Beach Bucket. I would have had no idea that it only came from merging the Beach Bucket’s Mysterious Letters to get an Island. These items do not appear in the collection so I have had the island to get the mysterious fossil but did not know to use it until looking it up online. So maybe these ‘mystery’ items are a little TOO mysterious. Also, there is a cool feature to sell or get rid of uneeded items that appears on the screen by tapping on something then clicking on the bottom of the screen that I only JUST discovered.

Really great gameplay. I'm writing to express my sincere appreciation for Travel Town! I've played numerous merge games, and Travel Town stands head and shoulders above the rest. It's truly a breath of fresh air in the genre. What sets Travel Town apart is its exceptional design and engaging gameplay. The merge mechanics are smooth and intuitive, and the variety of items and discoveries keeps me constantly entertained. The art style is charming and vibrant, creating a delightful and immersive world. The daily and weekly mini-games are a fantastic addition! They provide a welcome change of pace and offer exciting new challenges and rewards. I find myself looking forward to these events every day. It’s clear that a lot of thought and effort has gone into crafting these mini-games, and they are significantly better than the standard mini-game offerings from other merge games I have played.

Decent But A Mess. I want to like this game, I do but the balance to this game is not there. A 100 energy is just not enough to get anything done. It takes way too long to restore your energy and the fact that the option to watch ads to get energy back only shows up sometimes, rarely if at all. It costs 10 diamonds to buy 100 energy but of course if you want to buy more energy it's now 20 diamonds and then just keeps going up from there. So getting energy to keep playing is not cheap and not easily accessible. I just got the game and already running into issues, which I believe, is a big problem. So I'm basically stuck with orders unable to complete because it takes forever to get enough energy to get enough items and merge them enough to get the higher level item To make this a great and fun game make the watch ads option to get energy always accessible. Maybe figure out a way to balance out the ridiculous high level items that take so long to get when we only have a measly amount of energy.

Money sucker. Do you have to spend money on a game? Absolutely not. But in this game you get card packs, with an end goal of collecting every card and winning a grand prize. In 20 packs of cards I didn’t get one single new card. Even when I paid money for these special card packs that are “guaranteed” to have a rare card. Well, if it does have a rare card, it’s a card that I already have 3 of. You can trade regular cards with other people but there are gold cards which you can NOT trade, which is soooooo stupid bc now all I need are the gold cards and I’m not getting any new ones. The card game has a time frame to complete it too, and that time is almost gone. Let us trade golds! The makers of this game are so greedy!!! And many people have already emailed them about this but of course they do nothing, or they will send you a whopping 20 energy, or 50 energy if they are feeling “generous”, which is nothing. The energy for merging is gone in an instant. It takes hundreds sometimes thousands of energy just to make one item. I wish I would’ve never started playing this game.

Disappointed and frustrating. I agree with those reviews that are more negative because of frustration with collecting and obtaining goals in the game. After the last big update, it was disappointing to start again from the beginning, and I was going to just delete the game, however I held in there knowing i did get all of the gems and energy back to rebuild the town again. However, it takes WAY too long to acquire the building materials to even begin to set up the village. You guys took the fun out of completing a task and receiving energy and “perks” from the game. It takes days if not weeks to even gather supplies to be “allowed” to build. I am finding myself now spending money on gems, and never earning more than 10 gems at a time with playing the game for long periods of time. I’m really losing interest in this game which I really did love playing. I’m hoping for an update to fix the “bugs” and difficulty obtaining building materials. Otherwise I’m afraid I’ll have to move on……

Gets expensive. Starts off really fun (though not much like the ads I was getting) and you get sucked in, but after you run out of the gems you get for starting the game it seems there’s no way to get more other than to buy them… or wait a few days to build up more energy to keep making more matches but after a few days I forget the game exists. I’m sure this is by design to pressure you into buying gems so you can buy more energy faster to keep playing but I’m broke, dude. So I have to wait for days to build up enough energy to play for a little while. Initially I got all the way to level 12 (making one purchase of 1.99 to keep going) but now all I can do is check back in make a handful of matches and wait again for energy to build back up… and again, by awhile I mean a few days. I’m trying to fill my down time, not make a new lifestyle lol

Fraudulent ads, Money Hungry Devs. Dev’s updated the game to include an update that allows for orders from all producers. “Retired” producers should stay retired. If you spend all of your time making orders for products you have no idea where they are coming from, you have no chance of progressing through the game because you’re going to run out of energy quickly making orders for anything, not just producers just unlocked. Then you’ll not be able to play because you’ll be waiting for energy to regenerate (which doesn’t happen quickly). Also, can we talk about the fraudulent ads? There is no mystery in Travel Town. There is no one trying to kill anyone with poison because they’re being treated disrespectfully. In the game they all get along and treat each other with respect. This is just a ploy to get you to download the game and spend money in the game. There is no merging of small shells to make giant shells like the “Watermelon” game also. These developers are money hungry and every update is designed to take your money. Do yourself a favor and find another merge game that isn’t designed to take your money and has ads that actually show you what the game is about.

It is not a free game. When I started playing the game I really enjoyed but the more you advance 100 energy is not enough. Literally you can t play and have fun because you have to keep waiting and all the bundles are very expensive literally you can send over 100 dollars and still you will lack. Usually I don’t pay for games even if I do it is less than 5 pounds. Here I can keep spending and spending money for example if I buy 100 energies for 3 dollar then in literally few minutes you will be out and you will have to buy them again. It is an extremely costly game and I can’t afford to be wasting my money like this. THEY HAVE MADE AN AMAZING GAME BUT DAM IT IS SOO COSTLY . everyone reading this if you don’t want to spend money or like more than 10 don’t even bother to download this game. Literally every 2 hour my energy is recharged and the max is 100 just to play for few minutes then again wait hours . No one wants to play a game like this or keep spending 10 dollars every day

It was fun…. At first. I really enjoyed the game at first when it wallowed me to play for awhile. Once you run out of energy, you’re screwed. The ads that offer 25E are sporadic, and sometimes not offered to me for days at a time. The higher up the levels, the more items it takes to complete an order, and sometimes I use 200E just to complete 1/2 an order. There’s no opportunity for more energy, and from what I’ve gotten from discussion posts, the bubbles USED to give energy, but now just coins. I have an unbelievably uneven ratio to coins vs. Energy, and it gets to the point where I can only play for 5-10 minute bursts throughout the day (if I’m patient, it’s usually less). From what I can tell, the developers are either struggling, or getting greedy. I don’t mind throwing $1-$2 here or there for some energy every once and awhile, but I’m not going to fund the game just for a few extra minutes of playing time. I don’t think I’ll be playing anymore until there’s some change. It really is a fun game, but it’s apparent the entire game is a money trap, not made for purely enjoyment. Like I said, if there were more opportunities for energy that didn’t come from out of my pocket, and better in-game incentives that made the game playable, I’d probably start playing again. Until then…. I’ll patiently play a different game. It’s just too tedious at this point. :(

Literally obsessed. I can’t stop playing this game! Matching the items is so relaxing for my brain, I wish I could play all day. It’s my FAVORITE game and there are so many islands and items to achieve. My only problem, like others have mentioned, is that the energies are expensive (both in time and money)- I wish I could trade coins for energy and that all board pieces no matter how small, could be used to trade for coins (bc some of them are worth nothing but space on your board). I also wish they didn’t cap at 100 when they accumulate during down time. They are spent so fast, it’s not enough to play. The packs are also expensive. And I’m not one to spend money on games, but I love this game so much I’ve spent my money lol. Regardless, I am obsessed! And if you have anxiety, this game is so relaxing, fun and goal oriented- It’s perfect!

Good in the beginning but…. I do enjoy this game but not enough to keep it. The game is unfair and expensive. First off, it takes a lot of diamonds to purchase items in the store and even top up on energy. Buying energy with diamonds starts off at 10 diamonds and then doubles from there (should have started with 5, 10, 20 and so on). Also when you pay for diamonds the amount you pay is way more than the diamonds you get. One simple item in the store can cost over 100 diamonds. Also, the game seems rigged. One producer can give you multiple items. When you need a beverage for example you get a bunch of tomatoes. You can use all of your 100 energy to get beverages and only receive 2. Ridiculous. You get the items when you don’t need them and run out of energy so fast. That stupid tile maker takes about 5 moves just to get one tile and even then it’s not guaranteed. You can get a stupid dud. I really hate this game. Not fair and not worth it. The creators are more concerned with making money and getting you to spend than they are with you enjoying the game. I will be deleting this game. Not worth it!

Love it!!. I absolutely love this game. I’d say I’m kind of addicted! But lately it just takes way to many moves to even fill one order. I’ll buy a package and still not be enough. I spent all my diamonds to pop a bubble, the game froze on me, my diamonds were gone but no item! I am on the fence to quit playing. I look for other games I would like but I keep coming back. You all did a wonderful job on this game! It’s amazing. Even with the very little upsets I highly recommend trying this game. If I could change anything it would be the timer didn’t stop at 100 with the moves bc once you get so far 100 moves doesn’t get you anywhere. It should increase with the level increase and it would be nice to be able to watch more ads to get moves. But I still love the game!!! Def 5 stars for me!

can’t even play. UPDATE: want to update this to say that i can’t even play it now. at all. not sure what the point is of a game that i can’t even open. it was frustrating enough to have to struggle for a while to get it to work but now it doesn’t work at all. opens, loads, crashes, closes. and starts to overheat my phone in the process. i’ll start to say i love this game. it keeps me occupied for a good amount of time and although it’s simple i really do like it. the biggest problem is that it keeps crashing! sometimes i have to close and open it multiple times before i can actually play the game. once it stops crashing it’s usually fine for a good while but it can be really frustrating getting to that point. and it overheats my phone terribly. no other game or app that i have makes my phone overheat like this. i don’t know why. i also wish i could get more energy chests but that may just be because i’m impatient and want to play when i’m in the mood to, not when the game allows me.

Used to be fun. I used to play this game all the time but now they have made it almost impossible to get anywhere like they want you to fail. There are so many times I waste all 100 moves in a minute or so just trying to get one item and it purposefully will not give me that item and sometimes it takes me days to completed one order because of the new update. The rewards are garbage now because I have to earn 25k to get 30 more moves? That is impossible and 140k in one day without buying moves it outrageous because I do not trust the game enough to actually give me the item I need if I did spend the money. It is like I suddenly need an item and it magically does not show up anymore making it impossible to complete a task. Also, the couple day challenges are annoying because at least twice now, I have gotten to the last level and it starts crashing and going back to several orders before almost like I am not allowed to hit the final level. I hope they get it fixed, otherwise I am just going to delete it.

It’s my favorite game…however…. This game is my favorite game to play that I have found so far. I love the concept and overall gameplay. I’ve been playing for quite some time and even spent some money on it which I never do. Some things that have been bothering me about the game are that it is so hard to level up once you get past a certain level because of limited orders that are mostly high energy items and not having enough energy to do ANYTHING. I watch all the ads I can and would love to see the developers extend this feature to be able to watch more ads for energy because I could watch ads all day for this game!!! My last complaint is about the Facebook card trading. I think some sort of in game trading system would be a great addition to the game such as matching you with people that have cards you needs and they needs cards that you have. Anyways I can wait for all the new updates and additions made to this game!!

Fun but Pay-to-play. :(. This game has the right formula and is super fun and satisfying. However, the game doesn't give you enough points to play for any worthwhile amount of time without shelling out your cash. I will keep it until I find one that is not simply pay-to-play, but I'm not giving them any more of my money. It was so addicting that I didn't even think about it until I saw what I was spending. I don't mind spending some money to support a good app and do have disposable income, but I can see when I'm being taken advantage of and that's just what this game is doing right now. I see so many other reviews addressing the inability to play without buying energy and gems and the lack of available energy (maxes out at 100?! You can't do ANYTHING with that!), so I really hope the developers will start listening abs making some of these changes because they're definitely losing a valued player here! And I'm disappointed about it, honestly, because it's really a great game otherwise! :'(

Used to be fun. I loved playing this game but now it’s getting ridiculous. It’s impossible to finish the daily challenges without spending actual money, most of the orders now take days to complete just because the 100 energy is used up in a couple of minutes to get maybe a quarter of the goal. With the Carpenters Station I have 4 sanded wood blocks sitting in my inventory and it’s close to impossible to get the sander to finish them. The orders for the items take multiple rounds of them to finish. The cards you get for completing tasks, when you can or if you break down and purchase energy only give duplicates. I haven’t had a single new card in over a week but I have up to 16 duplicates of several cards. I’ve been missing the last 11 gold cards for almost 2 weeks now and of course those aren’t tradable for the lucky few that can get them. I’ve spent an insane amount of money trying to get anywhere but I’m done. I’ll be deleting this money grubbing game. I hope the developers actually read the reviews of the many players who are deleting because they can’t keep spending money on a game that just wants more cash constantly.

About this new thing yall did. I’m not going to lie I don’t like what yall did to the game. It’s very dumb to me it was a 5 before whatever yall did now it’s a 3. It was a very fun game I was loving it and playing it everyday and I’m trying not to delete the app because I did enjoy the game before whatever yall did to it. Also everytime I get on the game I get irritated because of what yall did. Like why is you extending some of the things. I find that fish thing irritating because why is it like that. Then the tree why am I getting so little. Why did yall change that and why did we change the duck thing with the guns like Is it because it was confusing or what I’m not understanding. Then why yall changed the purple little tree house or whatever they are from the dog like why change that and then taking away the dog house why. Why make changes now it’s feels so stupid and irritating. Then why do you still have the duck changing things still it’s feels useless now and have no point.

Not worth the time spent playing. Update: I ended up just deleting the game altogether. Slow progression is one thing but no progression is this games gimmick. Every order is complex and time consuming, the generators product too many different items, so when you need it to product the set you’re building those items never come. I’ve literally blown 100 energy needing 2 pieces in a set and they never came until after 300 energy. Then magically after the set is completed I’m getting those items ever other time. This game tries to hard to be challenging and just ends up ruining the experience altogether The game has a way of drawing you in but it lacks the ability to keep you. Tasks that should be easily completed end up taking days and enormous amounts of energy. Compared to other merge games this games stalls too much. You can play literally all day and not complete a single task. This can go on for days. A game should not be this hard to progress in. Even with all the “rewards” offered, getting from one task to the next is frustrating to say the least.

Not enough ways to earn free energy. I’ve played this for a few months now and I love the game-the merge challenges are varied and the game doesn’t get boring. I discovered merge games when the match 3 games I played had them as side quests so I searched for them specifically and this is the best one out there I think. The only thing that drives me crazy is there is not enough ways to get free energy to make merges. The max it’ll build up to is 100 which in later levels doesn’t even let you get one item with an higher dollar value. I’m on level 66 and usually need around 400 energy to get the item I need. It takes about 2 hours to gain 100 energy without spending any money and that lasts about three minutes of play. I wish the developers would let the energy buildup without stopping. Or maybe stop it at 4-500. I love this game so much I have found myself spending upwards of $20/day just to play it for any meaningful amount of time. Since this isn’t something I want to do I need to look for something else to fill my spare moments.

DO NOT WASTE UR TIME OR MONEY!!!. I have played this game for 3 weeks and am at level 28. At first you progress quickly but then things drastically slow down and you have to make pricey purchases to play for more than twenty minutes at a time. It takes hours for the energy bar to refill and then you only get about twenty minutes of playtime. The storyline is fun and I enjoy merge games but it's too expensive. Also the watch a video get a reward often glitches. I have watched several videos with the promise of a difficult prize only to be cheated. It takes a lot of energy and gems to progress in this game and it becomes very frustrating very quickly. If you don't like spending a lot of real cash don't even bother. I regret the few purchases I made. **I am constantly being cheated out of gems and other things I have gathered in the game. I don't know if this is retaliation for writing my negative review last week or what but I am extremely disappointed. Also it's not easy to get support or contact anyone at all. Beware!!!!**

Addicting but annoying. Changing my review…after reading multiple reviews that I agree with and reading the responses from the developers, I’m taking it from 3 stars to 2…you’re not trying to enhance the app…all of my complaints are the same issues people were having two years ago and you’ve done nothing to fix it. It shouldnt take two minutes to get one energy. Love the game itself, but I don’t like that I can’t just keep playing without paying. I’d rather have an occasional ad than have to pay for extra lives. I agree with the other person who reviewed it and said it’s almost impossible to continue building when the prize amounts are minuscule compared to the price of building to upgrade. I’m on level 26 and about to delete the app because it’s so frustrating. I work hard all day and after my kids go to bed I like to relax, zone out and play this game, but I refuse to pay for lives so I think I’ll have to find something else to play!

Love This Game. I got this game when I was terribly sick in my first trimester. A year later and I still play it! It just really scratches an itch. I feel like they’ve done a really great job making it possible to play it without spending a dime. I am level 69 so it does take a few days to get orders completed sometimes, but I don’t mind it at all. I will throw a couple bucks at it here and there just because I enjoy the game so much and I think it’s worth it to show the devs some love for all the work they put into it. My only criticism, I don’t like when producer items are changed. I know the devs are just trying to make things better. This also just might be my special flavor of autism, but I grow an attachment to the producers and the items that they put out. So when they are changed suddenly, it actually makes me kinda sad. Lol Anyways, great game! Fun way to pass the time! Thanks!

Started off fun. I've played this for a couple of months and it started out fun but now has become more frustrating than enjoyable. Half of the generators that I used in the beginning aren't used anymore, which I think is weird. Plus, there isn't a good balance between requests for high end items and low end items. Other games will throw in some lower end item requests to keep things moving and help clear the board while you're working on higher end items. This one doesn't do that and I feel like I can work on the same high end requests for days and days. Additionally, when the generators produce more than one type of item, it seems like I always get the item types that my customers AREN'T requesting and I get very few of what they're asking for. The game has become more tedious than fun. I'll probably give it another week, then delete if things haven't started moving.

Fantastic game, until…. I honestly loved this game until today. Before, you were able to set it up to only get orders from the producers you had on the board until you activated new ones (finished the intro orders for new producers). Now, the intro orders no longer matter and you get orders regardless of the producers you have on the board or which ones you have ‘active’. What this means is that the high reward orders require an obscene amount of energy from multiple producers to fill, making it impossible (and I mean that literally) to fill the orders without spending real money for extra energy in order to meet the daily quest requirements. And the rewards for the dailies are NOT worth the money you’d put in to fill them in the first place. As soon as I finish this review, I will be uninstalling the game and removing every trace of it from my socials. While I understand that I am just one person and my review probably won’t mean anything in the long run, I’m really disappointed that they took a fantastic game and ruined it like this.

Was fun, completely stuck to easily. I had just maxed all the buildings when the update came along and reset everything back to level 1. I was happy to give this game another go from scratch, but quickly got stuck at level 17, for weeks. I went 2 solid weeks without any screws to advance one of the buildings. As upgrading buildings is the only way to advance levels, it was quickly no longer fun. The requirement to spend gems for the daily tool boxes is impossible. The amount if gems given for free to play, is negligible. It makes it seem like a cash grab to force people to buy gems. The only way to get gems free are from level up chests (see concern above on time required to level up,) and from the mystery island, which takes even longer to obtain the rare pieces to create. Even with these you get maybe 20 gems if you are lucky. Very disappointed in this update, and they beed to offer more ways to get toolboxes if they want to “smooth out” the level progression. Past level 15 progress us non-existant.

Can’t enjoy the game after level 10. Firstly there’s a building requirement of materials which was so confusing for me because you can’t click on the screw for more info about it so you’re kinda stuck and had to google it. Then coin rewards is so low compared to the amount of energy you need to spent even thought it claims whenever you level up coin rewards increases like I have to spend thousands of energy to get the sandwich thingy but only get rewarded with 1400 coins????? And since most orders are like this you can’t really choose the most profitable. The coins on the board DOES NOT scale with level which means it’s always 32 coins at max level. You need at least 10 of the max coins to upgrade one single building sometimes more. The most infuriating is the chests that you get. Since coins are essentially worthless if you get tons of coins but not gems in the chests it’s like teasing you for your bad luck. Horrible game design and will stay 1 star until coins gets rebalanced. There’s always better merge game such as merge mansion and Merge Mayor that actually rewards you for collecting chest and not smacking you in the face with worthless rewards.

Really fun and addictive but..... I really do enjoy this game despite it being an energy based game. Unlike other energy based games, this game really gives you more options to get more energy coons and gems fast without having to pay for anything. The problem I'm having is that the quests calls for items that are rare to get. The maxed out "audio museum guide" for example, produces both paintings and statues. But you are more likely to get a bonus level 4 painting than a level 2 statue. Some quests want a level 3-5 statue but i would have spend over 200 energy sometimes more and wait for it to refill because i keep getting more paintings than statues. Same thing with other maxed out items that produce 2 different products. You get more of one of the two than other. There should be an update where the odds are more even or have one item that produces statues and one that produces the paintings. I have spent days trying to merge to a level 5 statue or tree or surf boards because i keep getting majority of the other items that I don't need

Good but not great. I do like this game and play everyday but having only 100 energy is never enough to get anything. So i rarely get anything from these mini games because im unable to even serve anyone in a day or 2. Im trying to get to the 3rd surf board from the bus and have yet to get it and ive used about 500 energy already over the last 2 days. Using up all of my energy and all my gems to get more energy to get the board but not enough floats are thrown out in order to create those boards. Also the rewards are very small for the harder to get items. So ive used up 500 energy so far and have not gotten that board but when i do get it i will only receive 4,000 coins which is nowhere enough to build up anything. Rewards for items that use up that many energy should definitely have better rewards. I also play coin master which is the creator of this game and i already spend too much money on that game so i will not spend more money in this game when i already know i will not get far.

No power. The game is super fun and addictive at first but you quickly run out of “energy” to make the matches which literally makes it impossible to play. There used to be an option to watch ads to “buy” energy but they took that way before even being able to buy the jewel stand. I have over 4500 coins to buy items but it requires other tools which can only be acquired through matches. I asked myself “Why would someone make a game and then lock you out every five minutes?” Then I realized it’s to force you to buy energy with *real* money. $4.99 for the most basic amount to continue to play. And that’s just each time you buy a pack. I looked online and so many other people just deleted it be sure they literally can’t play it. The designers made some really dumb moves in their thought process here because if they want people to keep playing (and buying) then the consumer needs to “win” more. The lock out from lack of energy is just annoying and pointless. I’m going back to my other game apps that reward you for playing more instead of blocking you from play.

If only. This game seems super fun but if you aren’t able to stay focused/dedicated long enough over several days you’d lose interest bc of how hard it is to gain further gems/coins to keep making progress without paying for things - also, noticed on 1st day of game download the extra energy burst was $2.99/burst, now since I’ve had it longer than 1st day, each energy burst advertisement is showing $3.99/time… also, gems to buy more energy go up each day after you buy an energy boost with 10 gems, it goes up to 20 the next time. Hard to keep playing/stay on this game as the concept is so fun and perfect for what I’m seeking - just doesn’t bode well from a business perspective to lose your game players after, as I’m sure it’s hard enough to get us in and hooked! Keep us engaged and playing with more gems/energy provided for less physical cost and I’d stay on more!

Too long for energy but fun. It’s a really fun game but getting energy takes so long. You have the option to purchase diamonds and energy, which I don’t do since the value for your money isn’t good at all. Once you get to higher levels it can take multiple days just to complete half an order. I’ve been trying to get to a sandwich sticker for one half of an order and I’m on day 3 and I’m now finally getting close! That’s with winning energy, completing daily challenges, trading diamonds for energy, and honestly I’m kinda addicted to the game now lol so my energy doesn’t just sit there so I’m using all I get. If I had spent money on packages for energy and diamonds to try to get this sandwich sticker I probably could have bought quite a few real sandwiches by now. Why would it take a minimum of $10-$15 dollars to get enough energy to get half of an order in higher levels!? Yall think we’re millionaires don’t yall!

Becoming another money grab... What brought me here today is this event that’s going on. Yes the game is fun, yes I’ve spent money in the game, and yes I’ve completed the events before. I like(d) how most of the time I could use the rewards from one event (gems) and then use those gems to complete the next event without having to buy gems every time. I’ve already spent 400+ gems on this current event and I’m nowhere near done. The most I’ve had to spend on previous events was 220 gems, to put that in perspective. So now I’m out of gems with absolutely no way to complete this event unless…I spend more money. Time to go figure out happymod so I can get unlimited energy I guess. Maybe then I’ll at least be able to finish the daily tasks! Can’t believe y’all made this event so expensive to win, but I won’t be surprised if all the events in the future will be just as hard to win. Another game that I enjoyed going downhill because of greed😭

Addicted. I absolutely love this game! This game is oh so simple, but has the exact right amount of competitive, goal oriented tasks to keep you engaged, and their competitive events are the bomb! It is the perfect game to play while unwinding and watching TV. I started playing this game as a filler while waiting on my lives to refill on my “real” game. Now this is my real game and I found that their deals on extra energy are not that bad, lol. There are hardly ever any issues and the developers are responsive. I am pretty excited to see what becomes of the new friends feature. Competitive team events 🤔? My only critique would be that they should they should offer a reward for your duplicate photos to help you complete your albums. Also, maybe acknowledge your anniversary with the game with some type of loyalty reward or select players based on their level of interaction with the game for special offers, or membership deals. Yep, I’m addicted! L

Fabulous Merge Game with a Few “Kinks”. Let me start by saying that I have played probably 75-80% of the merge games out there and this is in my top 5! With that said, I do agree with what many others said (and it’s like that in a lot of merge games) once you get to the higher levels…it gets a bit boring. The game say there for months for me, I deleted it, and just downloaded it again. They added quite a bit of new stuff, which has made it fun for me again. I will update my review once I get to higher levels again. :) My request for the developer - I have tried my usual fixes for this - my countdowns are not functioning properly. I have a 24 hour chest that has been opening for three days. And my bag to get camera parts has been stuck since yesterday. I’m not sure if anyone else is having this problem. I’m not having the same issue in the event… Also, kudos to the developers for making a great game! Small bugs and good feedback can do wonders everyone! :)

IDOL WORSHIP… ANTI CHRISTIAN APP!!! DELETE ASAP!!!. I was playing this game and noticed that once I got to a higher level there were images that went against my Christian beliefs and against my lord and savior , the ONLY …LIVING … GOD And KING JESUS CHRIST !!!! They LITERALLY had an “ false god “Ishtar idol statue!!! They called the statue “ fertility statue “ and it looks IDENTICAL to the Ishtar statue. This non living statue is a curse to anyone who serves it . In this game your “ serving customers “ make no mistake about it ! This was manifested by PURE EVIL sneaking WITCHCRAFT AND IDOLATRY A GAME IS SICKENING !!! I was so disgusted!! Delete this game ASAP! It goes against JESUS CHRIST !!!! STAND FIRM IN YOUR FAITH in CHRIST BY DELETING THIS SINFUL APP !… The Bible specifically says in, Exodus 20:3-5 3 “You shall have no other gods before me. 4 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 5 You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me. Do not bring a curse upon yourselves playing this game it’s absolutely witchcraft!!

Recent Changes are Frustrating. I’ve loved this game for several months now, it’s a great, short play that you can come back to at different parts of the day and still have something to do but it doesn’t have to consume your whole life and attention to get anywhere. In the past, I’ve found challenges really rewarding, and it was satisfying to work hard for a daily challenge or another kind of challenge and get a reward that was actually worth all my effort. Recently there’s been a big shift in rewards and it’s more up to chance what you might get in a treasure chest, but often the rewards are for tiny amounts of energy or diamonds that make me feel like all the effort I put into it is not worth it anymore. Getting 20 energy for a daily challenge that I spent 800+ energy to complete is super discouraging and makes me less interested in playing. I never write reviews for games, but you really did us dirty with these changes- Please bring back better rewards so I don’t have to find a new game!

Almost Perfect…. I have played a lot of merge games and I enjoy this one very much. The story isn’t overly interesting but achieving milestones is still fun and not too drawn out or annoying. The only things I would change, are that first of all I seem to have hit some sort of stalemate around level 24 or so where I am only getting 3 tasks to complete where I used to be able to have 5-7 different “orders” to work towards simultaneously. This slows down gameplay significantly in a pretty frustrating way. I also wish that they would do events more often!! I love the little opportunities to work on a different board, but they only last like 3 days and they happen super rarely. I would love to have an event every 2 weeks or so, and maybe it could last for a week instead of only 2 or 3 days. With a couple small changes, this could be a five star game!!

Be prepared to pay to succeed. I love playing this game and that’s why I gave it 2 star in stead of 1, but I refuse to spend money on something that doesn’t give me anything tangible in return. Because I have this mindset, I know I will never complete any of the card challenges or special events they have. I only completed one special event and that was because at the time, I was able to watch the 5 ads twice a day to finish it. That capability has not come back since. I know I will lose and I’m ok with it. It takes an eternity to fill some orders and to level up. I just want the developers to know that it’s messed up that you can’t remotely succeed without spending money on this game. I know they need to make money, but know that I will never spend a cent on my own money on this game. If I get an Apple gift card from someone, maybe I’ll give it a shot. I just want people to know this before playing, be prepared to spend to succeed, or just play religiously every few hours 24/7, haha!

Expensive!. This game was so fun at first... When things didn't take over a million energy's to complete. There's absolutely no way at this point to successfully accomplish anything without spending actual money... Which unfortunately I've done way too many times. It's kind of crappy that when you wait out the time to gain the free energy it only gives you 100 and stops, I feel the higher you get in the game that number should go higher too considering 100 energy's doesn't get you far at all- it's literally gone in 15 seconds. Then you have to wait hours to get it back to 100. There should be more opportunities to watch videos for free items and turns as well. I'm not saying it should be EASY, I just think it wouldn't be so discouraging if it were EASIER. I've also played the little games to try to win free stuff on the Facebook page everyday and haven't been successful with that either.

Determined, but Not Really Fun Anymore. I’m not a fan of the new UPDATE. It definitely came out of left field! I try to play several times a day which is mostly out of determination and frustration. I am at level 37 and have dwelled there for what seems like a lifetime. Too dramatic? Maybe. Going up the chain to capture the very last dessert spawned my determination and frustration!! Obtaining building materials is akin to watching paint dry. It is insane for a 60 year old Kindergarten teacher to obsess over a game, especially when I am an advocate for much less screen time for children and more active play. I can afford to pay to play when it helps my perspective to enhance the game and have more fun. Spending money on Travel Town does nothing to enhance the game nor make it anymore fun. I just see it as a disguised subscription fee. I sincerely hope the developers will seriously reflect on these reviews. If said developers have any help suggestions, please share. Any and all advice from other players would be most appreciated.

I like this game a lot. This is one of the few games that has kept my interest for more then a few weeks. I really like the concept and like that you still have to think about how you are going to achieve a goal so you don’t clog up the board. I think the time to get energy is fair as well. I didn’t give 5 starts because of a few things. One, I got this mystery fossil half early in the game. I am now on level 48 and have never seen the other half. Not sure what I’m supposed to do with that. But the second thing is the special events. They are impossible to win. I have spent money to get more gems and still so so hard. This last event, I never let the energy completely recharge, so I used every energy I could, and spent 485 gems, and still didn’t win it. The reward was 500 gems so I don’t think this is fair at all. The special events are a money grab.
