Merge Robbers: Idle Dief Game

It was a fun game. Ads were always optional, but you could choose to use them to speed up the game. Since last update, ads are randomly showing and giving you bonuses you don’t really need. It has a timer that says ad starts in 5 seconds, but no way to click it away. Very frustrating. Edit: in reply to your response; it’s not about advertisements in general. I watched a ton of them, so I did support you plenty. You’re now just forcing me to watch them. It’s different. But hey. No worries. Deleted the game.

The game is fun when I actually could play, but it got stuck on a screen after I finished a level and I couldn’t get rit of and I tried to re-install it. Problem is still not fixed and the screen is still there. I can’t click on anything and it changed to a foreign language aswell. Sadly the game doesn’t work, but it has potential once the game is stable enough to play !

Update: the UI updates keep making the game worse, and I can’t stand playing it anymore. The graphics have gotten more cartoonish and make the whole game look cluttered and confusing. Tapping on things takes longer for the UI to update, so I end up “buying” more when tapping on a factory or whatever, because the bar that shows whether I have enough to get the next level takes too long to update. It looks like it’s still full for a few seconds after I tap, so I tap again only to find that it wasn’t actually full and I just wasted my currency when I would normally use it only when the bar is full. That’s just one example. The game is infuriating to play now, and I’m about to delete it, despite having paid for a lot of boosts. I would probably still be playing, and paying for in-game currency occasionally, if they hadn’t completely ruined the whole experience. Original: I’ve really loved this game for some time… until the most recent update December 2023 with the new UI. I know some would say the old UI may have looked “dated” but the new one is, in my opinion, awful. My guess is they’re trying to attract new, younger players. The new font is difficult to read (especially for those of us with near-vision issues), especially on the buttons on the conveyors. The text looks crammed in, probably because the outlines on and irregularity of the new font make everything take up more space, while being harder to read. I don’t see the point of changing the images on the cards, now they all look almost exactly the same, with the same (or similar enough as makes no difference) cartoonish face and upper body taking up most of the space, making it harder to see which metal/gem/element the card is for. I miss the spinner showing me how many spins I have remaining. Now I just know I have at least one and have to check if I want to know how many. And either the events have stopped, or are on a new schedule, or I’m just locked out of them. Normally one would have started about 4 hours ago, but the icon just says “soon” with a lock icon and is not tappable for more information. I doubt this feedback will result in changes. Having worked as a software developer on apps, I know that once a new UI has been released, large changes to it likely won’t happen for a long time. Maybe I’ll get used to it. But as it is right now, when I launch the game I only play for like 30 seconds to two minutes before closing it and looking for something else to do.

No ads is subscription $19.99/mo lol. I’ll stick with gold and goblins thanks.

This game could be great. I watch ads for things, like the 2x boost, chests that pop up and ask you to watch an ad, pretty much all of them that benefit me. But now, random ads pop up and force you to watch the. For a useless reward. 4xp to watch a forced ad, when I have over 1500 already saved up. Also, I will watch an ad for a 2x boost, the. Immediately after watching it and claiming the boost, literally, within 2-5 seconds, pops up a forced ad for garbage reward. I just watched an ad, and it forces me to watch another. The game could be great, but yet again, like every other game out there that could be great, greedy devs destroyed it. Remove forced ads and you’d have a lot more player base, and gain way more revenue from voluntary ads.

Fun but there no events going wonder why?

Loved this game, but it’s so broken and glitchy that it is completely unplayable now. All of the buttons don’t do anything anymore. I’ve deleted and redownloaded several times, and updated my iOS as much as can be done. Please fix.

This was a really fun game, even with the recent bump in ads I was still enjoying it. But earlier today I logged in to check my progress on the current event and I noticed after the update the graphics are super glitchy and the time/money boosts have been removed. I will not be playing until this is fixed .

The ads and the game aren’t alike and I’m uninstalling it, I already have Gold and Goblins! This game is just like it!

I finally decided to stop playing and uninstall the game. Recently the company decided to implement forced ads. The ads are rewarded but the rewards are garbage and while I haven’t timed it, I’d estimate the forced ads are about every 3-4 minutes. With ads being a good minute long usually, I’d bet that at least 25% of the time you’re playing this game you’re watching an ad. I think the company has forgotten what an “IDLE” game is supposed to be. I do not want a game to take over my phone randomly for a minute or more and try to force me to watch an ad. Yes, I’m aware that I can simply close the app and restart it. But why bother? I’ll just play something else. I prefer playing a game that offers an ad for a reward and it’s my choice to watch it or not. No longer playing. Got to Lvl 40 or so.
