Seaside Escape®: Merge & Story Positive Reviews

Perfect if you like this type of gameI keep thinking that I should write them a review & am finally getting around to it. Microfun knows how to make a game. The graphics are very well done & there are zero ads. Zero. Not even an option. In-game purchases are more expensive than other games, likely due to the lack of ads, but are completely unnecessary. I’ve bought a couple to have a bit more play time, really just to give the developers money because they deserve it. I even rather like the storyline. I usually skip that kind of stuff, but this one is interesting to me. Another one that they made called Gossip Harbor isn’t nearly as engaging of a story for me, but other people might like it & the graphics and play style are every bit as quality as this one. They have at least two 3D versions that have more of the building aspect that some people like. I play Merge Fables. Quality graphics again on these; those ones have infrequent optional ads, but they are also completely unnecessary..ChoshojoVersion: 1.33.0

I Really Like This Game, But…….I really like this game but it is definitely a money stealer. The energy that you have to use just to make the merges are ridiculous. Then once you get so far there is another merge category thrown in and then you have all these different areas open for merging and no energy to be able to form what you need or space to form them. If you make the mistake of selling or getting rid of what you need then you have to build that item all the way back up. I have spent so much money just within the last two weeks trying to get the items that the customers and the game are requesting and that’s with me being a pretty good strategist, I feel! If it wasn’t for that this game would be so much better for that reason alone I’m going to eventually have to erase the game, at this point I’ve put out more money in this game then the cost of a utility in my home. There’s not enough perks for that amount of money that I’m spending to play it, it wraps you up pulls you in and then and then you run out of energy. One good perk about it is there is little to no ads but in order to play this game successfully you will pay dearly for that perk! Whoever came up with the plot for this game truly did there job. So this is really a fun game but in order to successfully play you have to Pay! So for that reason is why I gave the game 3 stars it is really a 2 but I do like this game..Evony77Version: 1.39.0

Great Overall - No AdsThis is my favorite merging game. There’s no ads which I greatly appreciate and a fun storyline with plenty of challenges to keep the game interesting. My only complaint and the reason I only give it 4 stars is because I’ve noticed over time that they’ve been giving less and less rewards for the same tasks. It used to be so much more and it makes me sad that you put in so much effort to the game for little to nothing. I get that they want to make it a challenge but it’s gotten to the point where it feels pointless to even try when it takes your entire energy bank to get 1/4 of the way to a single items. In the challenges, it used to reward you very generously which set it aside from other games but now you barely get a coin here or there. When you level up, it used to give you an energy chess or 100 energy points, switching off every other level. Now you only get the 100 energy which is still nice but with how much energy you have to use to get no where, it doesn’t seem like anything at all. I hope that the developers see this and make adjustments to make the game fun and rewarding again. I still love the game and find it relaxing. Thank you for making it!.Kjeans94Version: 1.53.0

It was ok until it wasn’tAt first, this game was a really good game. Super fun, maybe even a little addictive. After a few days of playing, I started noticing whenever I spent rubies in the game to unlock bubble items within the game half the time it would take my gems and not give me the item. The first couple of times it was fine because it was only less than 10 rubies I was using. For some reason when I started attempting to pop some of the higher value bubbles (20+ rubies each) it would take the gems and not give me the reward 100% of the time. Upon reaching out to support about this issue I was told I’ve “never used rubies to purchase bubbles prior to reaching out” which was completely incorrect. Yes it’s just a game and yes (thankfully) I didn’t spend my money to purchase said rubies that were stolen from me, however I’d much rather not play a game where someone from support is going to flat out tell me I’m a lier when its simply rubies that were earned within the game that ended up being stolen by the game. All they had to do was hear me out and fix the problem or just say there was no way to confirm the situation instead of accusing someone of lying about their game glitching..JA.ShayVersion: 1.40.0

It get stagnant…It got me interested up to level 30, kept trying up to level 32 and I think I’m done. I don’t spend money on these types of games never have and most likely never will, so that is a factor to take into consideration. It makes it challenging to advance if you don’t spend money. Storage becomes an issue, you don’t know what to keep or what to throw away in case you are asked for it in the future to fulfill the “orders”. The energy stays on 100 but the items to merge becomes more and more complicated so that only lasts for a few minutes and the you have to wait for another couple of hours to refill. Sometimes, the needed item won’t come until after a ridicule amount of other unnecessary items that consumes your energy come up. Too many side little games that will barely give you energy, coins or diamonds. Paying diamonds for everything but then barely getting any. Again, it’s designed to keep you hooked long enough so then you feel like you have/need to spend $ bc of all the time you put into it. I’m not like that, I know I have a choice and I like to put money into something more fruitful…and of course eventually my time..RandomHalVersion: 1.39.0

Decent app but still growing painsI enjoy the other apps by this company, but this one doesn’t feel like it’s gotten all the kinks worked out yet. For example, on Gossip Harbor the things you have to build will range from high level/longer builds to fairly quick, so you’re always meeting goals while also working on longer term goals. They are also well spread out across the different things that produce. But this one often has just 3 goals you’re working on and they all are very high level items and it feels like a grind to get to them. They also don’t spread out what produces the items you’re working for, so most of the things I haven’t had to merge in a long time. The daily challenge goals to earn coins (earn $x in a day) are so out of reach of what’s possible that there’s no point in trying. In Gossip Harbor the daily goals are all feasible. I don’t know if they don’t have enough levels yet, so they’re trying to slow us down, or if they haven’t figured out how to program it to give a decent variation of goals. But I’m finding that it’s more frustrating than fun. Which is a shame, because they do a good job with the graphics and story..LadyMReddVersion: 1.10.1

Engaging and cheerfulA good game to play when recovering from a long illness. No intrusive adverts!! The story of the movie star from the ads for this game only covers the introduction to explain how Rowan came to the island. I’m only on level 18, so maybe it will feature more prominently later. Instead, the focus is on restoring old family and friend relationships while restoring various buildings and structures on the island by matching icons. there’s enough to do to keep your engaged for a little while. You can spend money to advance faster, but you’ll still progress without in-app purchases. I’ve only played for a few days, so that could change. So far, it’s a treat. I’ve also enjoyed the diversity of the secondary characters and am looking forward to more in the story line about preserving ancient history by restoring tourist attractions before a corporate resort firm buts out the residents. (You can ignore the plot and still play the game, but I especially like the storytelling!) Have fun!.Brandy in Austin, TXVersion: 1.26.0

Best game I’ve ever played!I have adhd and most games usually either stress me out or bore me to death, but this game is so much fun!! You can’t binge it so it’s good for keeping you off the screen but it’s so much fun to come back to every hour and use the energy that’s been accumulating, and make what the customers are asking for. I don’t really acknowledge that it’s customers just orders or things to merge to and it’s so much fun!! I think I’ve had this game for about 2 months which is the longest I’ve ever kept a video game on my phone I think, other than Roblox that I don’t play😅😅 I could go on and on, and I really can’t find absolutely anything about this game that is negative!! Definitely play it if you have adhd, or at least try it out, it is quite literally the best game ever to me!!.Goldylocks2010!Version: 1.52.0

Pretty fun gameI’m a huge fan of this game and the other games by the same developers. Something I’ve noticed though in this game is that it costs a lot to advance in the story after getting to a certain point. Something that I think about is that many other games that follow this format have small free things everyday, and the different types of merge games by the same developers also have everyday free chests/items to give the games a little boost. It’s the only merge game I’ve played that doesn’t offer a little free chest/item everyday and it does make me a little sad because I’d love to have something for playing it multiple days. Also I noticed that the reward for completing three tasks everyday went away as soon as I hit a level to where I got the limited time gameplays and that does make me a little sad as I was able to consider that an everyday playing reward. Overall I enjoy the game, it’s a pretty good merge game but I do wish for motivation to return to it day after day..Klp1998Version: 1.10.1

Love… butI love this game. Never thought a merge game would be this addicting. My problem is it doesn’t keep up with “cost of living”. At the beginning a few merges will get you what you want so 100 energy lasted a bit and restoring a building was gratifying. As you get bigger the complexity of merges increases as it should but you still only get max 100 energy (either by waiting over three hours to regenerate or if you built enough to get to next level). When I started I could fill several orders with that 100 now at level 229 unless I buy more energy or gems I have to wait several refills of 100 to fill a single order and it’s still not enough to restore a building. Then when restoring the building it takes more resources to get to next level. It’s is frustrating. I have spent way too much on this game (I never buy in game stuff either) so I have a feeling I will have to delete game to break the addiction. I get app developers need to make money but I can’t even justify the amount spent as entertainment value..RSD WarriorVersion: 1.55.0

Fun game but the pop ups/constant events nearly ruin itI like this game and it’s currently my go to but I am so freaking sick of every time I get on having to go through AT LEAST 5 pop ups to the point I usually just close the game and reopen it. Most of them are about the mini events but do you really need to have 5 mini events going on at the same time CONSTANTLY? Is your main storyline lacking that much that you have to over supplement it with 5+ other things to distract users? I can understand 1-2 events but I got on the app just now and there are literally 5 - treetop adventure, photo hunt (which is pointless because it’s impossible to complete because it constantly gives you repeats), skybound isle (doesn’t even make sense with the game), garden quest, and phantom of the attic. Three of those five end within the next 24 hours so guess what I can expect? A bunch more pop ups to cover the three more events that will replace them. It’s overkill and it’s ruining the entire game..Appalled StudentVersion: 1.53.0

It's almost a 5 star game...I like the game but some things are annoying. The game tries to do everything for you, if you don't do anything for 2 seconds the game shows you what to merge, where to tap, etc. I really don't like it, even in the mini game it tells you where to put your tile if you don't do it immediately. It also scrolls you to wherever you need to go to collect rubies for new items you've created. I just want to be able to do things on my own, so even if they could make an option where you can turn that off that would be great. Also I don't like all the thing's on either side of the main screen, so if there could be an option to hide that when you want I would really appreciate it. Other than those two things i really like it, the story is great so far, I like the gameplay and everything. If they made options to get rid of both those things I mentioned above I'd 100% give it 5 stars..Izzy RojasVersion: 1.55.0

Really enjoying the gameI knew it would be better than most other merge games since it’s the same company as gossip harbor (put so many hours into that game) but can tell they are still working a few kinks out. Since playing there have been a good amount of bug and gameplay fixes; more orders available, a good continuous stream of events, and a background audio bug they jumped on really fast. Only thing I’ve noticed recently is my past 2 fully upgraded vases aren’t really giving me any gems, I get a bunch of gold and a max of 4 total diamonds when collected; just seems like a pain to work on getting a max vase for the reward to not be there. Also would be nice to have a free collect daily; like a vase or energy to look forward to. Other than that great game and have really enjoyed it so far, can’t wait to see what the developers continue to do with it..Ali97971Version: 1.14.10

My favorite merge game!I’ve played many merge games and this one by far is my favorite! The only thing is, and by no means am I mad, as I’ve had no issues with my purchases, but just searching for help. I’ve made many purchases and the purchase I made 2 nights ago for the VIP cliff side challenge, was made at 17 creating a bunch of things to claim. I didn’t want to claim all at once as it was late and didn’t want to play much more, so figured I’d save them. Welp I came back to them for the 2nd time today went to claim the most recent one, I got that one, but the rest disappeared… I figured they were in my dump on the board slot on the merge screen & they were just gone. I’m not sure exactly how many I lost, but I’m going to guess 10? Can someone help please 🙁.HeidijobuckVersion: 1.44.0

AnnoyedI’ve been playing this game for a while. I really enjoy it and understand that it ends up getting to the point where you might not fill an order every day. It’s a cute game with a nice story. I adore Mia and Emilie, and Lee was funny during the Strawberry Festival event. There were things I didn’t like. Biggest thing being that the tile game only has twenty games. Sorta weird since the ad that made me wanna get it featured the tile game heavily. But I let that slide since the merge game was really fun. I also don’t like the fact that so many things pop up when you open the game. And I can’t stand how they give you a tutorial you can’t skip, no matter how long you’ve been playing. Irritating, but I overlooked these. However, today I’m really irritated. I’m at level 41 right now, trying to get Kristos the highest merge for the olive oil. Today they changed how the source piece for the olives works. As it is, it takes ages to get high-level merges, but now it’s asking that we tap the olive source block seven times just to get one item. *One stupid item.* This update is pointless and aggravating. It’s making me think about finding a different merge game, which makes me sad because I like Seaside Escape a lot. I hope you guys undo this new feature, because it just didn’t seem like a good choice..BexlovelyVersion: 1.49.0

Favorite Merge GameLove this game so much! I've played plenty of merge games in the last few months, but by far I've played this one the longest. I love the relaxed atmosphere, the story, the characters, and the art. I've never found it boring, whereas most other merge games I end up deleting because it either became too frustrating or too dull. This one always has plenty of events, and is just so chill. It's also great to see some LGBTQ+ representation (Mia & Emilie) in a Chinese game, a culture where queerness is still more taboo. Also love the diversity in the cast, it's very well rounded and cute in general. Love the little stories and the close-knit family dynamic they all have. Can't say enough about this game! Criminally underrated.AeroborealVersion: 1.11.1

Awesome, but unbalanced currencyI love this game and I’m super addicted to it. The only issue is that I don’t know what to do with my coins. As I’ve played and used up coins, energy, gems, and tools, my coins have slowly built up as there is just nothing to spend them on besides upgrading, and I can’t upgrade until I have a certain amount of tools, and coins are much easier to gain so I just have this surplus. Also, the energy bank caps at 100, which is quite annoying as I feel that since I’ve played this game for so long that bank should be upgraded to have a higher capacity. I think a good fix would be to let the player spend coins (and I mean A LOT of coins cuz even 10,000 would be too easy I feel) to permanently increase the energy’s capacity..Settlers of catanVersion: 1.51.0

It’s extremely fun but it’s also quite annoyingLook, I’m just gonna say it. It’s extremely fun and relaxing to merge and stuff but here is the problem. You only have 100 energy which I blast through within seconds. And it takes 2 minutes to get 1 and over 3 FREAKING HOURS JUST TO GET ALL 100 ENERGY BACK! AND IF YOU WANT MORE THEN YOU HAVE TO PAY! I’ve had to spend money on the tempting trio every single time just for the energy to last some time. What frustrates me the most is that whenever there is an event that I’m interested in, I sometimes don’t have enough time to get all the resources to complete it (my fav is the bingo) so maybe either allow the players to collect more overtime with the timer or lower the timer to get energy faster. Other than that I love the game and would have been five stars, bye.AmysChannelVersion: 1.40.0

One of my Fave Games ButI LOVE this game a lot and have spent so much money because it’s genuinely an addiction BUT I’ve been noticing how the further you get on and level up, the more unreasonable difficult it gets. I understand because you level up, it has to be a diff setting but why do we not get an upgrade on how much energy we have? I’m on the medkit part and it takes all 100 of the energy to gather items for whatever is needed and it doesn’t even complete the order list. Can we get more energy as we level up? Like it stays at 100 even though the orders gets more difficult so it takes even days to complete orders..💁‍♂️ yesVersion: 1.53.0

GREAT! But…This app is really fun! This is one of the only merge games I like. The only issue I have really is that when you first open the app there are SO MANY POPUPS. I’m pretty sure they aren’t ads because they are just talking about events that are happening in the game. That’s another thing there are wayyyy too many events happening at the same time it get hard to focus on the customers and the actual story. Maybe make a way so that you don’t have to see to see multiple event? It makes the game way to overwhelming when I just want to merge the items and serve customers! Opening the app and having to close out of like 15 popups just to play the actual game makes me just want to quit. Please fix this!!.JwkcojxnsVersion: 1.46.0

A bit slow, but still good!I genuinely love this game (and yes, that might partially have to do with the fact that the main character shares my name). The art style and graphics are appealing, and really fit the vibes of the game. The story is cute, but also isn’t really needed to still enjoy the game. I definitely recommend reading it though. The progression is relatively linear and tasks are not ridiculously complicated, however energy can be a bit of a setback. Like Merge Mansion, you cannot watch ads in game to get free energy, which makes waiting for energy a bit more tedious. Also, the base price of 20 diamonds for an energy refill is a high in my opinion, and I think it would be much easier if it was 10 diamonds for the first refill of the day. Overall, however, it’s still incredibly fun. I spend more time playing than I would like to admit. Its slower pacing can be frustrating at times to impatient players (no judgement here, I’m one of those impatient players!) but it’s fulfilling to complete a task. Good job, dev team!.Cure MelonpanVersion: 1.9.0

Great Merge game!!!!!I play a lot of merge games and I’ve have to say Seaside Escape has to be my favorite but I do have a couple issues. One is the the storage area, you have to use diamonds to increase the space why can’t it be coins or at least be a little amount of diamonds? Second there’s gotta be other ways to increase the energy without having to use diamonds, everything cost diamonds which I understand that we get free ones when we merge to new items but before we get to the higher items we run out of energy. I do recommend this merge game to everyone who like/loves merge games this one is one of the best. I’d give it 5 stars if the energy/ diamonds would change maybe a daily spin? Or daily bonus?.Rosebuds SisterVersion: 1.10.1

Love this game however…I’d like to see a free energy recharge every day. All the merge games I play give u something free just for visiting that day. The energy should be 10 gems to fill the first time then 20 then 30. You should balance out the very difficult tasks with some easy ones so we can meet the requirements of the special events. I can’t get 5 customers orders done in a day at the level I’m at. I love the story and the characters that’s my favorite part! It’s a super fun merge game but I see myself not playing it much longer because of the above reasons. How on earth do I even get a petal duo? Wish the game told you were to get things from? There are no instructions at all and no help on the internet either..Peace1973Version: 1.10.1

Tedious and frustratingI loved playing at first. It was simple and the mahjong tule game was fun. But after level 20, no more tule game. And the merging of the items to get the ones you need take over 100energy to get even the first half of the item. The plant olive thing literally takes at least 6 clicks for a single item…. Now imagine to level it up Plus no room for storage and the boards fill up fast. No point playing past level 20 unless you want to literally spend $100s of dollars on a silly virtual game. Also the storylines are lame. I skip through them. I’m just here for the game but it’s getting to the point of where you can’t level up…. without diamonds and I’m just about done. Will be deleting it if no change in the next update..Vane134gfVersion: 1.41.0

Great…ButI love playing the game. I never make purchases on apps but I have purchased off this app…several times. This game is actually a 5 star game but the major problem I have is what’s with all the coins that you don’t get to use? Why can’t we purchase items with coins? There’s no boost to purchase with coins. Everything is gems & those gems aren’t easy to come by. They don’t add up. This is a game a person could play for hours but it gets cut down because of energy. Plus you charge too much for energy refills. It’s almost as if you want to limit what we do. I don’t like this & eventually I will stop playing this game because you’re not being fair to none of the users of this game. Forcing users to purchase isn’t a good way to get good reviews!.Sh4y$1011Version: 1.20.0

The wait…Let me start by saying this game is a great time killer. I’m a full time college student so sometimes I look for a little brain break. I like to lean to this game but I get a good 5-10 minutes before I’m out of energy. The chances of winning energy is difficult, usually requiring more than 100 energy to accumulate. There are no free options to “earn” or for better terms, trade, our time for energy. I would like to be able to continue playing this game, make advances to higher levels, but the wait to accumulate energy is pretty long for a game that’s just about merging objects. Like I said, it’s a fun time killer- but once you get to a certain point it’s easy to forget about because you’re always waiting for energy. Just my opinion!.Kyllz765Version: 1.16.5

Started as fun…The game started out really fun and when you have energy? It’s a blast. But that’s the catch. You’ll never have energy. The cost of merges is outrageous and you burn through max energy so quickly getting orders done is nearly impossible. Not to mention that the orders will sometimes ALL only be for max level merged items and you’ll only have like 3-4 orders so it can take a full day of checking back hourly to complete anything and even then you might complete one order and be no closer to the next level or upgrading/unlocking a building. At the very least there should be an option for free energy for watching ads or something, because the only thing worse than pay to play is pay to win..WhittythedeeVersion: 1.53.0

Fun and addictiveI love this game it keeps me focused, and it’s so fun, there is not only the tiles game but two games in one. Every time you discover something new you get diamonds and with diamonds you buy xp. You use the xp to create more thing and fuse them together to keep on making better things. Those things are used to give to people when they order it. There is no time limit on getting the order ready which is probably my favorite part. On the tiles game, it’s really hard to lose, and you get prizes for winning a game. Oh and I almost forgot the best part it’s free, and I have not seen one add yet!.JOjO1554Version: 1.43.0

Loved it until the big update…I’ve been playing merge game for a while and never found a game that made me consider spending money on it until this one. They weren’t stingy, a lot of opportunities to get energy and gems, many events, and many seasonal decorations. But after the update, they got rid of the daily gift box, which was one of the way to get energy and gem, and that was a downfall for me. I started to lose interest cause now I felt like they are trying to make me spend money. Also, before events were doable and I was able to finish and collect all the decorations. But now they are doing impossible amount of decorations that requires more coins to unlock. I don’t know how long I’m gonna play this now...ㅎㅅㅇ평Version: 1.52.5

Cute game, with surprisingly wholesome character loreThis is your standard match and merge game, and fulfills my dopamine seeking ADHD needs, with just enough updates and mini game cycles to keep things fresh- but the thing that keeps me hooked is wildly enough, the story! Island conservation and the tolls on community time and capitalism takes, family trauma and healing, self reflection and therapy, realistic and sometimes chaotic communication, lgbtq+ representation, character redemption, treating kids as nuanced growing human beings, etc I also appreciate how you can store old generators away and bring in new ones continuously, but have the chance to bring back old favorites for bingo events. Big advantage over games like say Ferge Fansion which feels stale after a while. My only complaint is that I’m always SO CLOSE to getting the last key item in the candle/furniture/ancient Egypt mini game, but I appreciate when there’s two stages with a key to at least make you feel like you accomplished something..PsychoKandiVersion: 1.58.0

Fun so farlI've played other games by this creator and I generally like them. This one I really like, so far, though... More than the other ones, even. This game keeps moving, even without spending a bunch of irl cash. I do usually put some money into games like these, but some of them just feel like you can't get anywhere without paying for things all the time. This one does keep moving and that makes me more willing to spend some money. There's a little more value here. There aren't a ton of pop up ads, either, so I think this is a fun game with a lot of balance..RaaaachiePieVersion: 1.49.0

Used to be betterI used to absolutely love Seaside Escape, however some recent updates have made me lose motivation to continue playing. One such update is how it takes 7 taps (and therefore 7 energy) to get one item from the olive tree planter. I really don’t get why they would even make this change as there isn’t really any benefit to it. I would understand if these 7 taps caused it to build up to a higher level item, but no. You still get the same level 1 item that you would’ve gotten before after 1 tap. It’s ridiculous. I really hope they reverse this change as it is extremely inconvenient, annoying, and has caused me to lose the love I once had for this game..72unicornsVersion: 1.50.0

Great merging gameThe merging is very satisfying, i js wish u got the energy faster but even if u dint make it shorter ill still like it.IamNot_AmyVersion: 1.55.0

Fun but not like the adI do enjoy the merge part; however it takes a long time to complete orders without purchasing extra energy. Also, the block game only has 20 Levels. There’s no renovations exactly, but on the outside. The ads show inside etc..ThesseyVersion: 1.55.0

Seaside Escape®: Merge & Story Negative Reviews

Fun at first but….This game is so fun at first but at a certain point you won’t be able to fulfill any orders for days because it’s sooo tedious. I don’t mind the tasks being hard but this is ridiculous. I’m on level 38 so I’ve been playing a while but the only thing to do is merge so if you run out of energy that’s it, a waiting game. I personally don’t spend any money on games like these and this game is designed for you to get frustrated and spend the money constantly. As you progress you will only get hard orders that don’t rlly give you anything in return, for instance 1 order can sometimes take 200 pieces of energy and only give out 2 building boxes which in turn will only give you two tools (if you’re lucky)that you have to wait to use. It takes any where from 3-5pieces of each tool to go with the story because to progress in the story you must build and I don’t even follow the story!! So as I progress the game is becoming unappealing and I definitely won’t be spending money to gain energy because it’ll just be a waste! I’ve been playing for a while and waited to give my review but this is the gist, they start you off slow and free but as you level up you’ll be on an order for a while if you don’t spend money. Even with spending money you’ll just be throwing it away cause again it’s so tedious and the merging takes forever when it’s a higher level item which it usually is as u progress. Honestly about to say goodbye to this game because it’s just not worth it.Ghostbusters10Version: 1.33.0

ScamI downloaded this game after seeing tik tok videos promoting it by showing a tile game. There is even a picture of the tile game on the game description page, but I am on level 179 and have never seen this game. The only reason I’m on level 179 is because the game is designed to be highly addictive and to try and squeeze as much money out of its users as possible by making the game impossible without buying bundle packages of rewards. As you go up in levels the difficulty increases exponentially, but rewards do not. Top tier items are required to fill most orders that take hundreds of energy points and sometimes days to fill. Energy caps out at 100 (which will buy you nothing) and it takes 2 minutes to earn 1 energy point. This is not a game you can sit down to play for an hour at night before bed. If you actually like playing this game, you must log on several times a day to make sure that your energy doesn’t reach 100 so you can continue to earn. It takes 3 hours and 20 minutes to earn 100 energy points and probably less than 5 minutes to burn through it and still not reaching the level item you are trying to create. I’ve also noticed that it purposely withholds rare items when you need them to fulfill an order and the minute the order is filled they will give the rare item easily. It feels rigged to get you to buy more stuff..RoyjacVersion: 1.55.0

Boy Do I have A Game That’s Not For You!Imagine you’re at work… and you see an ad for a game that sparks your interest. They let you play the game for 2.54 seconds. You enjoy it. “This is fun,” you think to yourself. You look at your work email to find its slow so you jump off the deep end and download the app. You decide to be productive and answer some work emails, then reward yourself with a 5 minute game break. (Life is all about balance, remember that.) Within the first 3 minutes and 28 seconds, you discover that the ad was all a lie. The game you downloaded has absolutely no correlation with the ad. You decide to do some investigating. Upon reviewing the App Store, you find the picture that looks just like the ad… attached to the game that is nothing like the ad. Suddenly you don’t believe in people anymore. There’s no truth to what you’re getting. You start to question life and where you went wrong. You’re sweating and shaking all at the same time. How do you survive life? You can’t. It’s all a lie… I had more fun writing this review than I actually did playing the game that was falsely advertised. Hey marketers? Go back to university. I don’t know what cereal box gave you your degree, but I’d ask for a return. Marketing 101… Market the RIGHT product. You’re no better than credit card scammers..Kasey fVersion: 1.38.0

DisappointedI have been playing this game everyday for almost 2 years. The game used to be really fun and helped me to unwind but at some point I feel the developers got greedy. The higher the level, the more lives you need and I get it, that’s how they make their money. I have spent an ungodly amount of money in this game but today is my last day playing it. I have been wanting to stop because it takes up too much money but I decided to give the game one last chance. I spent so much money trying to fill up Rowan’s scrapbook and for the last 4 days I have been trying to get the last card I need to complete the whole scrapbook. One card has cost me so much money, the orders were not worth anything and when they did come with memories they would only be 1-3 stars and lasts if 5 star duplicates. With that said I am very disappointed that for four straight days I haven’t been able to get the last card. This made me realize that the game is rigged because there is no way a player who doesn’t spend hundreds will be able to progress in this game. To the developers, I hope you are happy, I spent so much of my hard earned money because I loved the game and the graphics but you have just lost a loyal fan..AmthekatVersion: 1.58.0

Near impossible game play at level 31You get less and less requests/orders as you progress. The tasks keep getting more difficult but the rewards keep giving less which makes no sense. I don’t mind there being difficult orders where it takes weeks of playing to finish but there’s no fillers/simple orders where you can complete for the day to keep you interested. Daily task is impossible, for example, 10k gold a day? I can’t even get that now because a lot of the orders now pays no gold, just building tools. There’s marge games out there I played for a couple years and I got stuck a few times but there are still things to do. This game, I’m just stuck and even if I pay to progress, it will cost a lot. I know the end goal is to people to pay but this money hungry move just make me wanna give up. It should be pay to progress faster, not pay just to progress. I’ve been playing this for a couple months religiously and paid quite a bit into the game but this ain’t it. There’s no enjoyment anymore, which is sad because I love the designs and gameplay until I’m forced to pay. I give up on this game..Nickelodeon in real lifeVersion: 1.10.1

Becomes impossibleIt's yet another one of those games that's so much fun, until it becomes impossible to progress. It's gotten super frustrating. You're trying to merge items to create bigger and better ones, then you sell those items and that's how you get money to renovate the island. But you also need supplies to renovate the island, and those are SUPER hard to come by. You need to use energy to create items to merge, but it loads soooooo slowly and only goes up to 100. And now it's to where 100 energy bolts won't even make one item. It takes several hours to load up your energy and then to not even be able to progress after waiting is really annoying. Certain orders will give you money AND a box of supplies, but you still need to merge the supplies into the ones you need, and THAT takes several boxes of supplies also. So you're taking several energy cycles per order, and several orders per supply box, which means I have enough money to build but can't get supplies. If you wanna pay real money for energy, be prepared to pay A LOT. It's not worth it..ShayO95Version: 1.49.0

Great until it isn’tI’ve been playing this game for months and it’s something I do in my spare time, on an airplane or just bored. I’m at level 100 but I’ve also paid to play quite a few times. Yesterday I went through to see how much I’ve spent and it’s at around $70 across 3 months. It’s difficult to fill the orders on the higher level unless you pay for more energy and it becomes so complicated to merge it starts to feel like there’s no point. The bingo game is helpful to fill orders but it also takes up a lot of energy and time. I’m now at a point where instead of spending more I’m going to delete bc the energy purchases don’t last enough and I’m not buying a package every day. I personally feel like while you’re waiting your energy should continue to build even if it’s above 100. Your energy will only grow to 100 and stop there regardless of how long you’ve been waiting and that’s really annoying. So, enjoy it while you can then delete it because it does become frustrating..IMorenaAmorVersion: 1.41.0

Ambivalence: But More Negative Than PositiveThis game was cool at first. Maybe up until level 15. (I’m on 71). I’m trying to have fun with the game but this game cheats. It gives you opposite of what you need and it purposefully makes you run out of energy to force you to purchase more energy. Why can’t the creators of this game allow for you to get what you need for the merges without being money hungry. I really like this game and never made a review ever but this game pisses me off being greedy for money during an inflation. The least that can be done is to allow ppl to clear their mind while playing. It’s a very therapeutic and nostalgic feeling you get making the merges of the items. Imagine needing a ring but all keeps being produced with the energy is flowers. By having to waste energy and being money hungry really makes the game 0 stars. Because when that happens you barely play the game. Not to mention this is not even the real seaside escape. This game is suppose to be a fun 2 player tile game and this is something else. Fix the game to allow fair use for the players..RoniextmVersion: 1.48.0

Boring & Hard after awhileI really liked this game at first. It was fun when needing to kill time or relax but I’ve noticed some thing’s now that I’ve had it for awhile. Never can beat the card game, no ways to earn energy w/o spending money. You have to wait with time & the sub games within it you have to wait for pieces from the main board. You have to get pieces within pieces, this feels like pure luck and can take days to get to some of them. Some you producing pieces you have to click multiple times to get a single piece that you don’t need. They want you to use all the energy in one minute & buy more. Who wants to constantly pay to maybe for more energy to be wasted. I’ve spent money too but it doesn’t get me far enough to be worth it. Can take long time to beat levels, I need something more engaging. Hoping they make improvements soon but there are many other games out there. Also reading some comments I’m not the only one who feels this way..LorixAnnVersion: 1.56.0

I want to like this game…There are so many annoying things. They are all small but add up. I wish that you had an option to reject an order if it has been on your board for say 1 month. I wish you could decide if you want to participate in one of the extra games. I wish there was an undo option for accidentally clicking orders or buying items. I worked for a month to try to perfect a set. First you most get a level 8 set of another type over and over to generate the tool for that set. Then, you can make items for this particular set. There are 10 items in a set. I had item 9 and item 7 but was almost to a second item 7. There was an order for item 7 that I’ve been ignoring for over a month now. Today, it accidentally got clicked. No way to undo. Also, the red hat guy really needs to loose his hat once his story line gives him an apathy awakening. Just saying….Flowers&PalmTreesVersion: 1.51.0

I don’t ever write these.. until today..The game itself is a good game.. what would make it even better are the pop-ups and wanting you to buy buy buy.. nonstop.. some people (like myself) play these games to escape their already hectic life and when you get into the game and you’re trying to enjoy the moments you’ve escaped from, you have nonstop pop-ups wanting you to spend money. It’s one thing when you login to the game and then the pop-up's show but when you’re in the middle of doing something and you have seconds to give products and then you see all these pop-ups wanting you to spend money and then realizing you lost out of giving which would give you more space on the board.. that gets irritating. If I want to spend money and buy more products, I know the area I can go to in order to do so. Seems like the developer is more interested in making a buck than anything..AshDanaAVersion: 1.49.0

MehI consistently play this and gossip harbor on a daily basis. I have been able to level up on GH as time goes on, yet with this game there’s no way to earn energy by watching an ad or a daily gift like there is on GH. Also there’s only 3 orders that are ridiculously hard presented at a time, truly frustrating and feels like you’re just treading water…I’m truly ready to delete, I’m only at level 36 and have played since the first day this game came out… make it a little easier to gain energy!! Thank you! Update: I’ve continued to play and sticking with it because this isn’t a bad game, however….there is so many dang generators that there’s barely room to merge, I can only work on one order at a time because there isn’t room to even attempt to work on two at a time. Please remove the generators that aren’t being used past a certain level or option to delete, thank you!!.Jimjam14Version: 1.15.0

Love the idea, but…Another reviewer said “easy to level up.“ Hmm, no. initially, yes, very quickly you can merge things and get the coins and gems and everything you need to press grass in the storyline. HOWEVER, After a while, you get these outrageous, customer requests that take days to build energy and merge enough to fill their requests. There is also an item that produces things that can’t be merged, you can’t delete them, And you have to use up 5 to 7 points of energy just to get them off the board and they give you one coin. Of course, you can spend real money to get more energy and more coins and more gems to be able to do this all quicker, but that can really add up to being very expensive. I’m all for supporting game developers with an occasional purchase, but not to the point this game requires to progress in a reasonable amount of time..BiddygVersion: 1.8.1

Getting FrustratedI started playing the game to play the tiles. Then when I saw that I had to do all this other stuff before I can play the tiles, I didn’t like it at first. All of a sudden the tiles game part ended. By this time I start liking the game a little bit. But now, get to the point where I can’t, I can’t clear my board. My board is getting full and is getting frustrated that they don’t give me the pieces that I need when I click on the stuff to get the pieces that I need to clear orders. Then you all added additional items like cupcakes and all that stuff you know is getting is getting to the point where I can’t clear nothing and my board is getting full faster and then the games allow me the right pieces to fill orders. But before I can complete a new game that started it expires before I can ever clear it. It’s not getting to be un-fun..FliplegVersion: 1.45.0

Not as advertisedSo I downloaded the game because of the tile game that was part of an ad but that game only lasts a few levels before there are no new levels to it. Insult to injury the only real way to make progress in the main game is to spend money but then energy boost gets turned on randomly resulting in energy getting unintentionally consumed and most recently I paid for an event where you earn more energy as you play and earn coins,, when the event ended and I hadn’t claimed my last 600 energy reward, it simply disappeared… even though I had earned it. Seems to me this game is pretty scammy. I intend to stop spending money on it immediately and will probably delete it as soon as I feel I’ve made as much progress as I have patience for without buying more. My guess is that will only take a couple days..YdjdjgcjtcVersion: 1.54.0

Watch any chargesUpdate: I have not cleared all info and deleted this app as well as another app put out by this company. I have been seeing charges that I have not made and if I have anything else come through for this app, I will take steps that you don’t want taken. It’s called theft. Plain and simple. I just had to request a refund through Apple…why? Due to my account being charged when I did not make a purchase. Luckily this was resolved quickly and I am getting my money refunded. I will be watching very closely and if it happens again, I will be taking this further. I enjoy the game and on occasion I will make an in game purchase…but when I get charged for something I didn’t purchase, that’s a problem. That’s theft and I will not let that slide! To those behind the scenes who charged me illegally, this is your warning. I’m not the one to mess with!.ThoneysetteVersion: 1.56.0

Fun, frustrating, definitely NOT freeThis game starts out a lot of fun, until you get to the higher levels and then it’s almost impossible to fulfill orders bc the resource pieces send you everything BUT the items you need. It can take 12 hours to make one item! For example, I need to make level 5 gloves. 100 energy bolts later, I got ONE level one glove. But I got 10 helmets and 84 bikes! So I can either spend money for more energy, or wait 3 hours for it to refill and hope I get what I need this time. Don’t even get me started on the things where you have to create an item in order to create another item, and then use that item to make something else! This quickly became the worst game on the App Store. Unless of course you wanna spend $20/day on energy to actually make items..AminaBKgirlVersion: 1.53.0

Save your money, don’t waste your time.This is a recharge game cheating the player's psychology. Early game is fun. Like a chess piece, you need two identical pieces to make a new chess piece. Then complete the mission to receive gold coin rewards and building material packs. Upgrade according to game missions. Slowly you will find that the energy it provides is not enough for you to complete a mission. It takes 2 minutes to get an energy. This also means that it is impossible for you to complete the mission, and you need to recharge and buy their diamonds to continue. And it will constantly remind you of buy discounted packages. Until level 35, you find that even if you recharge over $20 a day, you still can not complete a mission. I feel this game is most like a trap for players. Don't waste your time and money, try other games it’s get more fun. I would not recommend it to anyone..BlueIceCattyVersion: 1.9.0

Rip OffWhen I had first downloaded this game I loved it and was having so much fun playing but then I stared hating in. Reason being is because they have the Rowans scrap book where you can finished orders and get pieces from the scrapbook and once you’ve collected all the pieces you’ll get a prize…..I had only 10 pieces left to collect and even bought more energy to get the pieces but no matter how many orders I completed with the star, I kept getting duplicate pieces. I collected the scrap book 5 times in a row and all the pieces were duplicated and I don’t think that fair, hoping y’all can fix that..ShanShay09Version: 1.37.0

This is not a game. It's just a long pretty list of repetitive prompts.You don't play this game. A pointing finger tells you where to press. You press, then the finger appears over the next button. I thought it might be a tutorial, but after five levels, I got so bored I quit. And it's not like the game is hard. You tap on a knapsack and an item pops out. You combine two things then tap it again. Over and over. Tap, tap, tap. As you progress, more different items pop out, but you always just combine them and build them up. When you combine enough you get to improve a structure in the town. Of course the pointy finger points at a hammer when it's time for improvements. Sometimes it's nice to play a game that isn't too taxing. All you need for this game is an eye and a finger. Brain not required.JigShaunVersion: 1.55.0

Bring back bingoI used to spend hours playing this game and saving up energy to play bingo but it seems that they’ve decided to nickel and dime the players again. Every update they’ve made has served to frustrate players. They removed the daily gift boxes which you used to be able to stack over a period of days in order to get larger prizes. Then they stopped giving out energy boxes for levelling up which used to sometimes pay out a few hundred energy instead of the 100 we get now. Then they rolled out the trains to replace bingo. The trains have 6 rounds and give out like 3 boxes per round which is way less boxes than bingo where you could earn like 12 boxes per round with 3 rounds. The only reason I started paying for extras in the game was because of bingo and the only reason I kept playing this game was because of bingo. Gossip harbor and skyline secrets do not have bingo which was why I abandoned those games..Hate the new iconVersion: 1.53.0
