Merge Decor: House Design

I play a lot of merge games, and this one is just ok. I gave it three strikes before I deleted it. First, there are ads that pop up without warning, and they are quite low quality and annoying. However, I was willing to ignore that because they give you a small reward for each ad they throw at you. Second, the designs are….ugly. There’s no other way to put it. They are aesthetically ugly and look low quality. However, I play more for the merge than the decor, and I have plenty of prettier games, so I looked past that. Today was the final straw. In order to adjust their decor options in a way that at least matches, you have to pay with one of the in-game options. While this doesn’t directly mean you have to pay, it will no doubt lead in that direction once you run out of coins or gems. So, I’ma head out.

It’s near impossible to obtain some items without spending real money. For multiple rooms you need paint palettes, obtained by merging pencils. Pencils drop from yarn boxes but very rarely. I’ve been trying to play for the same goal for 3 days and didn’t have a single pencil drop. The only way to get more yarn boxes it to spend money. It mentions getting it from daily boxes, but they’re locked behind several levels of daily tasks… that require the same item I can’t make for the actual room. If you complete the other goals for that room, then there’s no reason to play. You can come back and click the yarn box in hopes of getting the pencil drop but it doesn’t come. I want to play, I have the energy to play but I max out the only source that is relevant. I can watch an ad for a couple more drops from the source, but it’s so rare I get a pencil, I’d rather not. The daily tasks don’t let you decorate or pick stuff either so at that point I’d rather play merge mansion thats free and doesn’t have ads.

I play other merge games. I find this one quite fun. Some tasks are multiple choice, such as choosing furniture and flooring, which I enjoy. I haven’t had to wait long periods of time to refill. It seems like I always have something to do when I check in. My only problem with the game is the small lettering. Easy fix is to wear my reading glasses, if I can find them!
