Gossip Harbor®: Merge & Story

What a surprise, another app that does a bait and switch when compared to the in-game ads it runs on other games. It’s just a mixture of a very boring merge game and an attempt at a story (that I ended up skipping after the first couple). There’s nothing like in the ads where you need to improve the environment-apart from renovating the restaurant, but that’s nothing like the ads either. Installed and deleted within 24 hours.

It’s not really how the video is shown at all , which they claim it is 🤷🏼‍♀️

I saw an add for this game which stated that it was ‘not like other games’ and that you were actually playing the ‘classic homeless’ gameplay that it claimed to provide in the advert. That did not happen.

No matter how many times I have reloaded this game it be does not work Nothing merges still stuck on the first challenge pathetic waste of time

I have played this game for a while now and it has been fun. I like the stories are like all the different aspects. But it is now got to the point that to succeeded in fulfilling the orders a huge amount of energy has to be put in. I am no longer prepared to pay anything more out. It’s not fun anymore. I have all sorts of stuff stored, all of which is no good and hasn’t moved for months and months and so, sadly, I am deleting the game.

All the things that you should pay are too expensive, 9.99💷 for just 100⚡️ that’s crazy

I had to write a review after seeing some negative ones. I have been playing this for maybe a year or so, and completely love the layout, mystery storyline and the characters. I am on level 126 and not a big spender. The most recent advert isn’t really complimentary of the game style and it honestly is not about a shivering lady and child. My advice to the developers is to make a new advert showing the appealing storyline and strong characters. The concept is to merge the food to make recipes that sell for currency, which then levels you up for more revealing storyline clips and interactions between the characters. There are often smaller events which allow you to build up more currency and energy, and therefore allow you to progress faster.

The lack of energy refills and the rubbish prizes in the in game comps make it impossible. (15 lives ?) Even joining the Facebook group, you only give 25 lives every other day!! I think a few tweaks here and there and this could be a really good game. Energy when we reach a new day etc. There is no chest for a new day, which is crazy. This needs to be a little better. I appreciate you want people to spend money, but you need to give a little more first.

I really enjoy this game but the creators either need to change how long you wait for energy or offer more free energy for ads. I have bought energy but it doesn’t last long with the type of game it is. Would be more inclined to spend money if I felt like it would get my further. It’s a bit slow for me.

Totally agree the game is addictive and about the fairness. More energy is needed, it takes 100 to make most things. With different things coming out of the baskets, it’s potluck to get harder things, like potato, tea and scuba items. These should have a separate baskets. I understand you guys have to make money, but you also need to keep the players interested. I have dumped so many really good games because of the money (I do buy things) but it becomes unfair when you have to buy to win. Don’t be one of those games!
