Gossip Harbor®: Merge & Story

Overall, this game is great, and so is the story. That being said, I need to say: 1. The pop ups before getting to play the game are nothing but annoying; I can’t do anything and I need to close out about 5 tabs in a row, with a buffer period in between. 2. The Photo Albums Events. It’s incredibly difficult to complete these albums. I never finish the whole book, ever. It’s essentially impossible, and I almost always get duplicates. I end up completing only about 3 or 4 out of about 15+? Or so? It’s not a very interesting event thanks to the rarity of these photos. I play another game where the rewards are far more substantial entirely for free, and I get stories behind each completed photo (each piece is a fragment). In that one, I complete about 10 or more out of 15+? Around that range. It’s much more entertaining. 3. It takes too long to upgrade coffee machines, bread makers, etc.. It’s too expensive to buy fish with diamonds, only for them to sell for much, much, much less. With my grievances finally being voiced, I can say the story is entertaining, the decorations are usually fairly nice, and I like that you can detect when a reward ad fails and you make up for it by giving us stamina. Side note, I think we should be allowed to drag orders up to customers to give it to them rather than only being able to press “Serve” (I want to be able to do both). Anyway, cool game.

So it’s a really good game and pretty similar to the ads. So there is the divorced mother and the daughter renovating their home/restaurant with merging things to make orders. With that there is a storyline that’s pretty interesting. A lot of people were like how it’s not like the ads but I thought about it and while it’s not exactly like the ads it’s really similar and has a similar concept. They are right about the no ads part. And it other games it’s nearly impossible to get more energy when it’s empty but you get energy as you level up and you can merge energy to refill all your energy. And you can watch a ad for 15 energy. You can also pay 10 gems for full energy again. And my favorite part. GEMS ARE EASY TO GET. I don’t have to worry about using up all my gems because I can just merge to get more! Like I literally get 10 gems daily and that’s how good it is. I’ve downloaded so many games similar to this but I haven’t found one that lets you get energy and gems so easily. And you have probably seen the ad that says you get a starter bonus? Yeah but it’s for every level!!!!!! Can you believe it lol. So anyway you should definitely give this game a try and write a review because this game is honestly so underrated.

I have Gossip Harbor, Seaside Escape AND Merge Fables all because energy takes entirely too long to refill. Not because I enjoy the other games. I am actually about to delete all my games cause it isn’t fun anymore. Who wants to play a game they have to wait THREE HOURS for more energy just to use it in less than 5 minutes…. 3 hours wait time to use all my energy in less than 5 minutes . I have spent enough money on this game, but I’ve stopped because I’m literally wasting it. In order to successfully complete a craft and continue game play you’d have to spend almost $5 to $10 dollars daily… DAILY! Gas alone is $5 a gallon rn. I am not about to waste a quarter of my paycheck for a game . Energy should only take an hour to refill even an hour is an extremely long amount of time to wait. The amount of times I just forget about the game for the day when there’s a level or something I’m waiting on that has to regenerate It takes away the appeal from the game. Level is 1-15 are always fine and I’ve 2 of these games on my iPad as well and noticed that always levels one through 20 no matter which game the energy reward you get can be way higher, but then they slow down completely to the point where gameplay becomes impossible. Fix this. As developers I know you guys have noticed the exceeding decrease in gameplay after probably 6 weeks of consumers use and that I can almost guarantee is because of how long it takes for the energy to refill!!!!
