User Reviews

Love & Pies delivers a charming, story-driven merging experience with cozy art and engaging characters. Many players enjoy the addictive gameplay and appreciate ongoing updates from responsive developers. However, the game's energy gating, monetization frustrations, intrusive popups, and occasional bugs hinder progress and can make progression feel paywalled. Overall, it shines for story and style but can require patience with its monetization model and stability.

Pros

Engaging storyline with evolving, multi-dimensional characters and a cozy, appealing art style.
Addictive merge/puzzle gameplay that players find fun and satisfying, with decorative and story elements that keep them coming back.
Frequent updates and responsive developers who listen to feedback and fix issues.
Playable without mandatory spending and offers optional purchases, allowing a generally free-to-play experience.

Cons

Energy system heavily gates progress, with limited energy and high costs that slow advancement and encourage spending.
Pay-to-progress and monetization practices that can feel punishing after spending money; ads and energy rewards can be reduced after purchases.
Frequent popups, prompts, and event overlays that disrupt play sessions.
Bugs and reliability issues reported by players (e.g., items disappearing, daily quest/prize collection bugs) and occasional endgame pacing concerns.

awesome but it takes so long to progress anywhere. it takes 600 coins just to buy one rug. I don’t like how you have to spend coins in order to just see the story and not even buy anything for your restaurant. I’ve been playing for a few months and have spent at least $25 and I’m still only on like the third room because it takes so many coins just to progress. And it’s pretty hard to get a good amount of coins unless you get a big order which also takes a while to actually finish it. It’s great, but it is just taking forever to see any progress other than the story. And each time you want to continue the story it’s about 200 coins when a regular order is around 25 to 50 coins, sometimes not even.

i love this game so much and i've played it for years now but it really just struck me how great this game is. everything is incredibly fair to the player, there's no need for a pay to play, a very decent amount of bonuses given, and it's ofc fun! i feel like free game apps have been on the decline for years now, just trying to get people to download so that they'll watch ads, but this game is very well made and cared for and it definitely shows

The coins are totally useless and I’ve asked several times if they repurpose them and use it for other things but nothing has changed yet. Merging some of the items seems like the same each week, it’s either too hard or too easy. No matter how many times I tried to complete and collect all the stickers each month, it cannot be done unless you spend money. The games seems a little rigged. Also the commercials are atrocious and you have to click multiple times to get it off the screen. Losing interest fast.
