Cook & Merge - Merge & Story

I just wanted to express how much I enjoy this game. There are different levels of challenges, great characters, adorable adventures and lots of fun ways to play. My favorites are the tea shop and the pet rescue side games. It really keeps me interested. I enjoy the treasure digs, the card collections that can be exchanged for energy, and other helpful items to enhance and extend gameplay. In general, I don’t like the idea of using energy and running out of energy is a let down, but the way the game is designed, there are other ways to gain energy to extend gameplay without real money. I have another game that is a merge game, it is so much different but between the two of them, I really enjoy playing. I’ve not found other merge games that hold my interest and most of them are cash grabs or you have too many high level merges that keep you from accomplishing anything. This is a well designed game. I very happy with it.

I really do like this game, but I have deleted the same reason I delete many merging games, it’s hard to give the people what they order. For example, someone wants a jug of lemonade. The tray is upgraded and it still gives me water, the first product. The issue is that it takes forever to get to that one product, I run out of energy, and I can barely get gems so I practically run through gems trying to use the item again. This game would be perfect if you guys could please upgrade the product along with the item that drops it. Rather than dropping them at random. If you guys do go off my suggestion and make the update, I’d totally play this game again. Amazing game, just needs to upgrade the products along with the items. I only said this because the more you play and level up, it’ll get to the point where no one will order simple products like the water or water with lemon. So I don’t see much point in the dropping the item when the merging item is already maxed/ upgraded. 4.5/5

I don’t like the “suggesting hand”. It shows up too often, and is too aggressive. It will keep telling me to combine two lower level items to make a higher level item, even if those are the only two I have, and I need one of them to complete an order. The hand shouldn’t be able to see the green items (the ones the game automatically marks as order items). Also, I put all my kitchen appliances that make items in one spot on the board (the pizza oven, refrigerator, deli box, pasta press, and pot that makes ravioli are all close together). I will be trying to read what items I may have on the board that I need to put in the pizza oven — for example — and the hand will tell me to tap on the fridge (I’m guessing to make items for an order) but I won’t even have any energy to tap on the fridge. When the hand shows up to do that, it will block my view of what I need to put in the pizza oven. As far as I’ve seen, there’s no way to turn the hand off. After a certain amount of time, the players get it. They don’t need the hand the entire time they’re playing the game. The hand should stop showing up after a certain amount of time, or players should be able to turn it off.
