This game is super fun! Though I have seen some people complain about too many adds? I’m sorry but this game doesn’t have those annoying time wasting long pointless adds!! I hate the other merging games because after a couple mins it becomes harder and more frustrating but this game is a lot of fun, easy to play and endgame purchases that they have are cheap and affordable. When have you seen a game that has a decent price for purchasing something? It doesn’t really happen like ever, not to mention it’s a great way to focus on if I’m having bad anxiety, no that might not work for everyone but it does for me. Everything about this game is perfect and enjoyable, yes the puzzles might get harder but it’s still fun to play. I hope you reading this doesn’t end up believing that this game has too many adds and isn’t worth playing, but I will say just try it out for yourself before you decide to keep playing it or not or if the people who hate the game just because it’s easy and enjoyable are really telling the truth.

It’s a shame because the game is promising, with great characters, a great storyline and beautiful graphics. But the difficulty of the puzzles and the amount needed to pass a single level have rendered the game unplayable. It’s unreasonable, and it’s clearly to make you spend money/gems. I have no issue with spending money on games, but I don’t like to feel like I’m being strong-armed into doing it just to be allowed to continue a game. And clearly it’s an algorithm of sorts, because after 4-5 failed attempts at passing a level, the game gives up on trying to sell you power-ups and gems and lets you pass the level, all of a sudden, mysteriously, conveniently, with 14 moves to spare! Hmmm… clearly not about skills. You just have to suffer through playing each level 5 times until the game allows you to move forward. And yea I know that the developer is going to say that they’ve tested all the puzzles and they had no problem passing them without gems or powerups (hmmm), but I’ve done a test of my own. I’m no stranger to match-3 games. Currently playing three match-3 games (Gardenscapes, Candy Saga, and Merge Gardens) and the other two don’t even come close to this constant level of difficulty to pass Merge Gardens puzzles. I all but forgot what the plot was and all but abandoned all the other features of the game just to focus on passing 15 puzzles. Every. Single. Level. Just to move forward a little. Such a shame.

But the game is full of glitches, so you have to keep exiting out and going back in. Suddenly, you’re unable to sell the magic bubble or baskets unless you exit out and re-open the game. The bubble that continuously floats around your garden and blocks your view doesn’t even work when you tap on it to watch a video to get a free item. Nothing happens when you tap the button. You’ll be gifted each day with eggs that you can’t hatch unless you buy them using gems. Want to use the hen house to store all those useless eggs? You need to buy the slots using gems. While playing the match puzzles, you’ll create a bomb and it won’t destroy anything but itself. The puzzles get so increasingly difficult that there’s no way to solve them without using gems - cheapest is $5 - and as you level up, the more puzzles you have to play to expand your garden. I’m at having to complete 15 before I can expand and I only got that far because I caved and spent $5. I’m not willing to keep spending, so I’ll be deleting the game soon. It’s really such a shame, because if they fixed the glitches, gave you free access to the hen house, if you could harvest gems and if the puzzles were solvable on the second try without having to use gems, this would be a number one, top notch game. I’d pay upfront for a game like I described. Instead this is just a greedy money grab. Everything you do to play is based on you spending money. DON’T PLAY THIS GAME.
