Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We have been playing Merge Magic for ages now and have bought gems only thrice. Its really not that difficult to not spend money or gems, its just mildly tempting. Overall an amazing game.
Game was working earlier today, but this evening when we opened the app, a new shiny days island appeared and freezes the game.
Long time player and one of the more annoying things was having to bubble items to save space in your garden. The update a month ago brought a egg storage and it was a long time coming. Unfortunately, there was an issue with it and it went away. Leaving all the random eggs in a bubble and useless, as we are not about to have 60 eggs randomly spread in our garden. Hopefully they will update and fix this soon.
The new shiny days update has frozen the game. Please fix this! 12.14.25.
Your game is frozen on shiny days 2014 which has 27 seconds remaining 24 point head coach.
Loved the game but now we cant sell any of our egg chests for coins. They take up way too much space on the board. Please let us sell them again as we refuse to spend money on 50-100 chests.
Hello. Ive been playing this game casually since 2018 at the very least. We set it aside for a while because we could do much alone but once we qualified to join a team and started getting team chests from their combined efforts, we started unlocking more of our own world map and having fun at last. We do wish it was easier to get gems. The only way we see. To be able to earn them is by replaying the chapter levels but we maxed those out a long time ago. The events have gotten repetitive. We like the ones that already have the keys unlocked and just need us to combine items to make the right item but it is darn near impossible to clear areas that each take 500 points to clear when all we have is one fawn or dire and no way of unlocking a second helper. We get very bored grinding in events and have pretty much given up on trying to get more than two eggs per event. We also get very annoyed at the creatures when they wander off to harvest bones Im saving to unlock something later, or go harvest something simple like a blue flower, instead of the trees we made from them. We wish they would focus harvesting on the higher rewards.
Ive had this game for a few years now and Ive had a lot of fun with it. Although, theres a few things that you could add that would make the game so much better. 1. Making egg nests. If you could drop an egg over another egg of the same type and put them both in a nest to save space, thatd be so nice. 2. Harvest control. Our creatures harvest everything they can and some things we do not want them to harvest. If there was a little button you could toggle on and off that let creatures harvest freely thatd be great. 3. 3 things next to each other without merging. Dont make things automatically merge when theyre next to each other. Let us place more than 3 things next to each other without them merging. Please. 4. Egg storage. Its in merge dragons. You are capable. PLEASE put it in merge magic. 5. Magic power. It takes so long to get enough magic power for the binding spell. Please make it need less or make creatures give more. 6. Free magic gems. Im not asking for a mountain of gems for free, but if there was a little shrine or something that gave you one free gem per day, thatd be great. Maybe you could merge it to get more magic gems daily. Like the coin and wood storages that already exist! Devs, if you see this, please consider at least a few of these. Theyd make the game so much better.
The latest update took the item info bar and reduced it to a short piece in the center, with no room for anything but two more buttons. You have to push another button to get any info about a selected item. Its mostly been ignored, but when they add features it usually reduces playability.
Ive played this game for several years. Recently Ive become discouraged. Several of the special events no longer start with two creatures. The single creature is often a slow harvester. The events take to much time. Without buying gems or helpers it isnt possible to finish in time to get a bonus chest. It took us three days of playing 10- 12 hours a day to finish. We wont play it again. Please Merge Magic programmers bring back the second creature.
We deleted the app and started over. It will take you about a month to a month and a half to get through all the levels and then its just bonus games. They havent updated the levels in over 3 years and they charge more (for way less) than merge dragons. If you spend real money on this app, youll spend less time in it. Its a fun app but slow and easy, with minimal real money, is how you get the most out of it.
Hi we just wanted to say that we love your game so much that we wanted to say can you bring back the Lunas Sky Garden event (we think we like it better than Trixies Bingo challenge because we have to save up a lot of gems for our garden) and if you could bring back the ads for the Treasure tower thing instead of using gems for the witches that would be awesome.
This is a fun game for when we just want to chill. But when Im in camp, the game doesnt register us tapping on the right spot. Ill tap and itll register it on a square next to it. We can see that our finger literally isnt even covering the square its registering on at all. REALLY annoying when Im trying to do stuff in camp.
We have had this game for several years. We play it for short periods of time in the morning and when we get home from work. We enjoy the ease of play and not feeling overly obligated to win everything. Our only real gripe is that all the extra games and event icons are always on the playing screen. It is sometimes hard to play the game because of them. It would be great if there was a collapsing/expanding icon that housed all the mini games and events, so they were out of the way, like on many other games.
This game used to be good, but its an increasingly naked cash grab and the devs are trying their hardest to make it a chore instead of an enjoyable experience.
Love this game. Been playing for years, but Ive finished the levels and have been waiting for more, but they havent added any in a long time. Im tired of the same event happening every week with just a different art style.
So we absolutely love this game. Its definitely in our top five, would be our favorite if it didnt include so many cash grabs. We mean, level 27 there is NO POSSIBLE WAY to complete without gems. Thats just sad, to have such a great game be ruined by this unfairness. It feels greedy. We dont mean to be that guy, but EVERY video we watched on this showed having to buy a way to complete the level. Please work on this. Theres also a few minor glitches, like for some reason our creatures names appear different when we click on them than what Ive named them in the creature book. We love this game, its absolutely wonderful. But please fix these issues.
We cant even remember when we started this game but Ive been playing for quite awhile. At least a handful of years, along with other merge games. Its a fun game but over time there are features Im surprised they never added. For example, in a game called Merge Garden, you are able to find other items to merge with by clicking on the item and saying Find, in Merge Magic, they dont have that. It is extremely difficult to find matches because of this now that our island is big. Thats our biggest gripe. The mini games are not engaging. The fact we have to start a whole new island for two days to win some special eggs is a little tedious when we have our own island to take care of. We would have hoped for more engaging timed mini games that break up the repetitive concept or at least re-work it. All and all, a decent game, but we can say its not worth spending money on. Its better as a free to play, once in awhile game. You dont even get a lot for free watching ads since its rare its ever an option , incase people wonder.
Ive played this game for years. We like the graphics and the mini games. Our two major complaints are 1. Events are taking far too long to complete. Sometimes a second harvester isnt available until near the end of the game. Ive stopped playing unless we can find six eggs near the beginning. 2. Gems, and season passes are to expensive.
Overall its an amazing game. But Im kind of stuck. We accidentally messed up at the beginning of a level and we dont know how to reset it. But game creators, you did an amazing job.
Es uno de mis juegos favoritos lo juego a toda hora.
SO ADDICTING!!! We WOULD PLAY THIS GAME EVERY DAY IF we COULD.
Overall, this game is amazing. Everything is really cute and you get to decorate your garden however you want. We just wish you could do more without having to pay.
We love this game so much that we wish there were more levels.
The game is amazing and we love the graphics and all, but Ive started to see stuff cost more and more money. For the season pass, you have to pay wait 12 hours to do the next task, or buy the gold pass(which costs irl dollars) which makes it almost impossible to complete the season without spending any money. Most of the good stuff costs gems too, which you have to buy for money or rarely get some for free. You should focus on making the game more free to play and not pay to win.
Please fix the glitch where merging certain items creates the newly merged item to lock into a cell and then every time the app is open it repeats the same function. We have been playing for YEARS and this has never been an issue until now.
Eggs dont always clear especially the ones with the blue diamonds.
We absolutely LOVE this game been playing for years however during this recent event when we went back to our garden to collect the nest of eggs we had gotten as a reward for getting the points, we got the daily reward screen and when we clicked out of it we couldnt find our nest of eggs we had gotten from the event PLEASE GIVE ME MY EGG NEST. We have had the game running since the event started so that we can get all of the rewards. We doubt this will post in time but we want our reward that we worked hard to get. We looked very carefully over our entire island and couldnt find the bubble with the egg nest. PLEASE GIVE ME MY EGG NEST thank you.
Its an absolutely amazing game. It is so addictive, requires no Wi-Fi or internet, and random ads dont just pop up! Im literally in love with it.
Its been well over a year, maybe 2, since we had a new level. We really enjoy this game, but we miss having levels to play.
Its the EXACT same ( almost) as another merge game called Merge Dragons except the plot is different. Please try to do a bit better and change things up, instead of copying another game. Also, add more levels! Either way, its an okay game. We wouldnt say its the best besides the graphics but its fine. Also do better. Its time the developer(s) learned how to actually make a game. Lol thx for reading this.
We have been playing this game for a few months. Im stuck with fountains that when merged lock up. We posted on the facebook group and was given several suggestions. However, none of those were able to help us solve our problem. We have 5 round ones and three circle ones, when merged lock them, unable to move the lock. Ive left a message on messenger to no avail. Ive spent a fair amount of money on this game and will delete it soon if the problem isnt resolved. It will save us money. The fog is very difficult to lift, we seem to have an abundance of coins, wood and energy. We can only spend it on more coin hoses and wood boxes. With all this it doesnt make the game fun anymore.
One minute of logging in back into the game, into the trash bag! One minute is way to much for us to handle :(.
We like this game a lot, we play it every day, even if its just for a few minutes. The creatures are cute, the art is amazingly done, we just have one problem with clubs. Every week theres and club chest, and we like to get club chests because they have exclusive creatures and things we cant get anywhere else. The problem is that our chance to claim the rewards is in the middle of the night, and the time span to claim the rewards in unfairly short. If you could extend the duration of the time to collect the chest, Id really appreciate it. Thank you. Thats the only problem Ive had though. Seriously great game.
Its good but the magic gems are too rare.
We have been playing this game for a while and really like it. Though it is a waste of time like alll other games and is a bit addictive it has ups and down but a really fun game and we really like it.
We love this game, its so cute and bubbly and a lot of fun, we recommend this to everyone on the App Store, :).
- Events are a bit short and we wanna finish them but we cant 2. Our creatures name are changing automatically and have more stamina as if we just merged or hatched them 3.it takes too long to get compsaness 4.kicks us out and takes our progress 5. Quests get way harder then expected in under 2 seconds in garden 6. All codes are expired.
Its pretty addicting and we love to play it to calm us down so automatic 5 stars.
This has been our favorite game since it came out back in 2017 this game is a part of us and is our comfort game.
Im on the witch part of the game and on one of the levels we had to summon our best creatures (a level 3 fairy and a level 3 Dyr) after we finished the level, the Dyr came back to the garden but the fairy didnt! And our magic power was around 136-142 ( we cant remember) and now its down to 89!!!!! Please tell us how to get it fix or fix it yourself cause thats ridiculous.
Ive tried all of the different merge games and Merge Magic has always stuck with us. Honestly Ive been playing for years now. It has the clearest and prettiest graphics. We look forward to the tournaments every Friday. Theres no pressure to join teams. You can just enjoy expanding the garden, playing the challenges/tournaments, and enjoying the new creatures to merge. Our only tip to the creator is to make updates/changes more often. Otherwise, best merge game hands down.
Probably our favorite game. Glitches come every once in a while and the events can be a bit daunting, but you have many opportunities to get eggs and creatures. There are times where it seems more difficult than it is or like you have to spend money (which we did) but you dont really. Once you get to the club chest if you find a good club you can get several eggs per month. Definitely one of those games you need to be somewhat dedicated to.
Everything is perfect. But the gems are very rare and about everything costs gems. Maybe make them a bit more common with more loads of gems, and this game would be really fun.
Same old same old and very expensive to play over time. Same extra games every couple of weeks.
Our game hasnt updated any islands in almost a year if not more. Was fun to play now its just irritating. New mini games show up but no new islands.
Our daughter LOVES this game! She says the only thing that she doesnt like is that it makes you pay for gems.
This game was fun and addicting until it started to have a problem during events where the game would crash and then it would not open again without immediately crashing. This meant no screen shots could be captured and the game had to be uninstalled and reinstalled. The game reports that it is connected to cloud save and actively backing up, but lost months of progress. When we submitted a ticket they wanted screen shots and we explained that the game would crash before it finished opening so we couldnt get screen shots. Then, they said they are putting the best effort for a quick resolution. That was over 3 months ago and they never reached back out to us, we had to continue to ask for an update. This was the 3rd time we had this issue and they still havent figured out how to fix the cloud save let alone how to fix the bug which makes that cloud save of vital importance. They continue to tell us they are putting their best effort forward but still not communicating to us and still not fixing the issue.
The games does not stay up long enough for us to send a message through the game. We open game try to go into anything and it crashes. We love this game but the crashes is very tiring.
They havent added map stages in at least a year.
