I absolutely love this game BUT you do have to spend a little money.. eventually. The beginning is super fun and lots of rewards are given, but when you advance in levels, recipes and goals get harder. It can take days to fulfill just one order so you miss out on events and rewards because you aren't able to fill orders as quickly. It is possible to play without spending, but it is not fun because you will have to spend a while waiting for energy to refill and generators to charge.

I haven't even been playing this for 24 hours and the amount of "help" I'm receiving makes me want to uninstall it. Where I appreciate a little bit of help in explaining how the game works, most of us aren't quite stupid enough to need the amount of "help" this game seems to think we need. The constant interruptions when I am merging and forcing me to go build when I don't want to are BS. I can decide when I want to get my free gifts, merge my items, or build.

I enjoy this game, and the fact that unlike other merge games it doesn't force external ads down your throat, though there are quite a few internal ones to try and get you to buy energy and items. I would suggest, however, a few changes that would make this much more fun and less frustrating: - Being able to give a completed item to the customer even if the full order isn't complete would really help with organization. - energy is slow and gems are rare, an improved rate would be more fun.
