User Reviews

Players largely praise the merge gameplay as fun and satisfying, and appreciate the story. However, the app is criticized for misleading ads, heavy monetization and energy costs, a grindy pace, and pay-heavy mini-games that don’t match the promised experience.

Pros

Fun and engaging merge gameplay with a satisfying merging experience.
The premise/storyline is interesting and adds depth beyond simple merging.
Casual-friendly and entertaining to play during downtime.
Generally regarded as one of the better merge games by players.

Cons

Ads are misleading and not representative of the actual gameplay.
Energy system is expensive and monetization-focused (high energy costs, currency requirements, and caps).
Pace is grindy and tedious, with slow progression to the story/plot.
Mini-games feel pre-determined and money-driven rather than varied or tied to the promised problem-solving.

Despite all the external ads claiming that this app is actually what it seems to be, a game about helping a mother and daughter renovate a house, this is not that at all. Very disappointed considering the HEAVY ads about this game.

You guys are SO fraudulent! This is nothing but a merge game but your disguised your Ad in such a manner that one will think is all about rebuilding a house for a mother and child. I’ll definitely uninstall the app.
