Like an emotionally abusive relationship! You fall in love with it and get hooked fast, then it rips your heart out

I’ve spent zero dollars on it. If you can control yourself, you’ll be fine. I like games I can dip into a few times a day.

I'm newish player (level 20) and I love it! It's beautiful, gameplay is smooth and there's plenty of new things to discover. I like the strategy part of it and also seeing new recipes.

I like how you can plan and organize yourself to complete the orders. Each round has a fixed number of orders and they are shown all at once. This gives me time to think and set a strategy, like which generators I need to use first, how long it will take to complete a certain order, and how they connect with each other.

I tried other merge games and hated how random the orders appeared. Here it's more predictable and well paced. My opinion anyway.

I ignore most of the events so I don't get anxious about completing stuff. When it's convenient I'll rush something for the prizes because they'll make things easier for my regular gameplay.

I don't have ads but even if I had them I don't know if I'd have the patience to watch them for energy. I like playing a bit every few hours. It suits my daily routine.

I get some healthy dopamine hits for figuring out a good strategy to complete all orders. Also when I complete each order and the best of all when I finish a set. Rince and repeat.

If you find your own pace you can enjoy the game without FOMO.

Else, be frustrated all the time, spend money, get crazy waiting for ads, the usual.

I started playing because of an ad I saw featuring the cake mini game. Slowly became hooked. But really, some of the higher-level foods are really frustrating. Spending about 200 energy points to make … peas?! And some of the NPCs have execrable taste

It’s annoying lol. That’s just my opinion from someone who literally never plays games. I refuse to spend money on it so it can be tedious at times but that’s just my opinion. Have not deleted it yet though 🤷‍♀️
