Flambé®: Merge & Cook

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.

So much more fun than other games of this type. You do start running out of energy pretty quickly after the first few hours of play, but there are lots of ways to earn a bit back here and there, if you dont want to spend. The animations & graphics look nicer than a lot of these too. No ads. I do wish the cheaper buy energy options were always available & not just at random.
