Us encanta este juego, siento que ejercita mi mente y us relaja.
The game is great! Its a game we never get tired of and the quests and special guests add to it. There is an ad every once in a while, but most of them are tolerable and there are optional ones for rewards. We do have one problem, though. The later upgrades require lots of gems, and theyre not the easiest to get. Maybe you could add chances to get more.
Ive been playing this game for like three years straight, and almost have full completion on it. We will say the prices for the gems are like lowkey kinda outrageous, but you get free ones if you watch ads sometimes. It just takes a lot of time to complete the full game? Yet we never get tired of it. ILY POTION PUNCH (the second game is mid).
Honestly have never really been interested in games and we get bored easily, but this one keeps us really interested and its super cute and fun mixing all the colors and making little foods we love this game.
Other gaming apps should take notice. Potion Punch is the golden standard for gaming apps on so many levels. Ads? Yes- but only for the benefit of the gamer. Watch an ad, double your money, watch an ad, double your gems etc. No ad wall after completing days, no ads popping up in the middle of your game- its phenomenal -The game has attainable goals that are just difficult enough to make you want to rise to the occasion. But not too easy to feel any disappointment or let down after you reach them. -The graphics are top tier, with interesting character designs, and beautiful, unique locations. – ultimately this is a task management game thats difficult, exciting but most of all FUN.
Great game not to many adds fair priced upgrades not really pay to win all around good game :).
This game is amazing and fun it comes with different levels of the game and new products. This game also teaches us some new color combinations that we havent seen before so it really is a great game.
Just an awesome game in general it doesnt give us an ad unless we want it for things like boosters or gems and the game play itself its just flawless great game five stars.
Uno de los mejores juegos fcil y divertido.
Is the only way to get gems really just to buy them?? Ive tried to make a purchase for 1.99 3 times and it keeps saying error after telling us it was successful, and the gems dont appear. Is it just us? Or.
We love the game but it doesnt give the in app purchases. It takes money the from your account but then says the transaction failed. Would really love for it to be fixed.
This is one of our favorite games ever, we recently downloaded again because we used to play this when we were younger and we were feeling nostalgic definitely didn't disappoint we love it just as much as we did when we were younger but recently we tried to purchase the Valentine's Day package and it said it accepted our payment but then said action could not be completed and it still charged our card and we haven't gotten our money back yet , very disappointing experience. We're still playing the game as usual but we would definitely like our money back.
We love it but it doesnt work for you but it doesnt sound good but it is a little too easy.
You used to be able to get unlimited free gems all day from watching all the ads you want. Now you're restricted to 10 free gem ads a day. We need the gems to buy the last few upgrades to 100% our last couple areas, and these things cost like 50 gems each. They're artificially throttling the gem income and if you don't play Every Single Day (like us: we don't play that often) it might take weeks to upgrade a single thing to the next stage. We're not going to pay real money for this old thing. Put the unlimited ads option back, and you get 5 stars again.
We genuinely love this game so so much ! It keeps our brain going and we love how amazing the graphics and the effort put into the game is. We cant explain how happy it makes us and how cute it is. We play potion punch 1 & 2 and theyre both amazing. 10/10 recommend.
Its super fun and addictive. We love everything about it. Our only complaint is the special guests dont come really often. In the next update, it would be great if they came more often. Other than that, its an amazing game.
So Im going to play for today to see what we need to do for the daily request we got in yesterdays done we open the game and our game is gone, we are back at the first village! And when we try to log back in through Facebook, Facebook is not allowing it why?! We had Wildwood forest opened and already had several days in there.
This game is great. We like the unique twist on cooking games with potions and grilled gecko and stuff. Highly recommend to others who like cooking games and want something different and new.
Its so cute and has come so far since the first version. Ive loved this game for a long time, we definitely recommend.
This game is fun and interesting, with increasing difficulty. They use gems in the best way. You gain gems in the best way. Ads are optional if you want to double your gems from daily goals or gain more gems. The app doesnt require you to purchase anything and we appreciate it. We will constantly come back to this game.
Honestly this game is really fun, great time passer and plus its offline thats like a total combo! This plus some music is all we need to have a good day.
Omg! Potion punch is like the BEST game ever! We started playing this about 7 years ago, and it is so entertaining as well as educational. Now we know which colors make different colors, not to mention primary colors. In present day we own all shops and we still continue to play because overall potion punch is an awesome game and you should totally download it!!! P.S. We love the customers.
We love this game so much Yea Im here.
- NOTe TO PlAYeRS: The only other one we can think of, therefore the only one of maybe 4 we have ever found which we consider great..or even good, for that matter, is Nightclub Story! It is developed by STORM (game dev) .. & it is a fabulous story game! (As are the rest of their games, so check em out!) we would not typically advertise other apps on a review, however, it is a completely different type of game! It would not stray ppl from this one bc it is not even near the same concept! We play both & love both in different ways!! : ) Now, for our review: It is Tough finding games with potion bar-like atmospheres!! For years we have looked for these types of games on Android as well as iOS and computers! (Windows & Mac) Only to be left surprised to find none!! :( we cannot believe of all of the crazy & creative ideas out therea developer has not done it! Anyway, this is one of VERy few we have found!! You serve customers awesome potions, mix potions for more complex recipes, have to serve quickly, There are items to unlock & achievements to earn rewards! Definitely a cool game for all ages! Oh, you can also open more areas! We do wish they would expand a LITTlE more & create more recipes/areas!! : ) TY.
Theres like no ads at all, also you can get other characters in gameplay witch is so fun! You also get a chance to own a potion shop! Its so addicting. You can upgrade your store and get different items! We totally recommend getting it, And its fun because if you dont serve the people in time they will be angry so be quick! Also they talk in a gibberish language witch is so funny we love listening to it. And thats our review.
This is a really diverse game! It glitches back to our phone Home Screen occasionally but overall it is super enjoyable! :).
We really Love potion punch lol Play on and off every day And there arent ads every other minute interrupting you every time you get going.. There is one here and there but they are Very Few in between And you can choose to watch an ad for two diamonds a shot.. We think that was pretty cool of them.. Yes only two but they do add up we do a couple rounds than hit the free 2 diamonds another board maybe 2 and hit it again.. Lol TYSM potion punch for such an Awesome game! We Totally Recommend it!<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Unfortunately though we had to start over because the screen was frozen on the gnome telling us we can now open monstro city and couldnt do anything. This was the first time ever anything happened after playing for a couple months.. That is pretty good.. We play a lot of app games and have run into so many that always have problems right away and ads out the wazoo.. Lol we uninstalled reinstalled than picked the wrong data and lost everything. Our stupid mistake.
Its a cool game really but the biggest issue is that swiping up to grab the snakes or geckos or whatever causes us to go back to our home screen which is insanely annoying because it happens so often.
Great game to kill time. Very few adds that are usually only about 5 second long. 10/10 do recommend.
We love the aesthetics and cuteness of the characters and places in this game.
Ive been playing this game for hours and stopped to write a review because Im already impressed. Not only do you get to choose 90% of the times you see an ad (for a booster mind you), but Ive made many upgrades already with money Ive earned in-game and havent spent a dime. Im only at the first location but we love it already. We love the funny sounds and cute colorful graphics. We feel you can earn lots of money and gems simply by playing. This first location is relaxing and challenging enough to still be fun while Im building up our bank. We love that you can watch ads (if you choose) for a boost that lasts 3 rounds! That never happens. And its great that we can focus on making the drinks and our food does NOT burn while Im busy. Great thinking guys.
Looooooooooooooooove this game. 5 stars 100%.
Seriously feel like Ive played every game in the App Store but we always come back to this one, seriously just so much fun and a great way to waste time lol always recommend it.
Its easy to play unlike anything Ive ever played. We truly think others will enjoy this as much as we do.
The style reminds us of gravity falls and the time management aspect reminds us of the old diner dash games. Honestly if we could rate higher, we would. Really enjoyable and upgrades come quick. Only on starluck right now but we expect a challenge for the higher level taverns and you should too. Amazing job and big kudos to everyone who worked on this game.
This game is probably one of the best games ever. A very good time passer. Good job to whoever created this game.
We loved the game and its really fun but the customers where impatient.
We have been playing for a while. Up until recently we would have said this game was perfect. It is simple to play, enjoyable and a great memory game. There are ads you can CHOOSE to watch to double rewards and such, but they are not a requirement. HOWEVER, recently there have been ads added to the game that just pop up and you have no choice but to watch. There is also, as far as we can tell, no way to get rid of them. A month ago we would have given this game 5 stars. If these pop up ads continue with no way to remove them or get worse, we will be forced to drop our star rating below 4 stars. PLEASE go back to the way it was before the pop up ads.
Im rating 1 star because we did not get the 30 day prize. We have screenshots if it helps. It says 50 gems (we usually double by watching the ad), but im sitting at 0 gems still. Rest of the game works fine. Willing to change our rating and review if this is fixed.
This game is so much fun we give a five stars rate because its so good of a game.
This game got us loving it when we were young but we end up deleting it for storage problems, but now that we are older, we downloaded it again and it is still fun just as ever. This game is truly fun and addicting in a fun way. We cant wait for more future updates.
We like that you make a fair way to get gems, most games make it so you have to buy your way to the top and that gets old fast. Because no one wants to sit there and have to buy stuff just to progress. You guys dont do that and you make plenty of stuff for us to do so even people like us who usually dont care about stuff actually want to go back and do everything. The developers for this fantastic game are a genius we wish there was more developers out there that do this.
We love binging the game for long periods of time, then putting it down for a while, and doing the same! We love that theres no need to play everyday, and the game doesnt punish players for not being addicted to it. That being said, its great for roadtrips/listening to podcasts.
We love potion punch it is a fun game and you can make potions and Unlock cool levels we downloaded it today and Im on day 29! Anyway AWESOME GAME keep up the good work but the overwhelming wave of orders is breathtaking so can we take it down a notch.
Doesnt inundate you with ads like so many games, and enables you to buy stuff, helping you progress. So many games make this impossible so we just give up on them.
We love this game. The only issue we have with it is that it is very difficult to see what colors are being ordered, especially on the potions with multiple layers. Some of the colors look exactly the same in the layers in the glass. Other than that, we love the game.
There is too much of a reliance on gems to upgrade items. Everything else is great.
Ive played this for 2 days now, and it's extremely awesome! If Minecraft brewing seems boring, then this will cure that feeling. The graphics are great. The upgrades are well-thought, and overall, if you dont like this game, then Id say you need to think about your review choices very well.
This is an awesome Time Management game!! Great for kids as well as adults! Who does not love mixing potions!? Im completely hooked! The setup is flawless & you get free gems easily! How do you guys do it?? No nagging ads…(which we do not complain about anyway bc we get it..but a game w/out them & is still free…is an amazing & rare gem!) Time management games are our favorite & this has quickly risen to our top 5 favs in that category! Great job dev team!! We have a winner.
This has got to be on of the most incredible free games Ive ever played not only are adds optional but the art style and gameplay are amazing too we especially love the upgrading system in all we would give this game 10/10 in our books.
