Merge Prison : hidden puzzle 12+

This got me hooked

I didn’t think I liked merge games from games I’ve played in the past, until I played this game and I love it, the storyline is interesting, love the side missions that come up every now and then, there was an issue with not getting puzzle pieces, so couldn’t complete levels and it did affect the gameplay, starting to get annoying but they got it sorted & apologised and gave some gifts as another way of showing their sorry. I’m still playing and loving it.

Enjoyable enough, although…,

I’ve been playing this game for a while now, i never took to any of the other merge games but this hooked me in. Im at level 31 and ive only spent 99p so far.
Yes, there was an update not so long ago that added extra things into the craft lists so it now takes even longer to create some things but this only means i don’t spend ages on it which is fine.
However, there was a seasonal mini game recently introduced for Halloween which either has a bug or it’s rigged so you can’t win anything - you have to complete jigsaw puzzles, I’ve finished one and 3 more close but the pieces don’t seem to register as being there even though the game tells me they are - unless the rewards are given out for this puzzle correctly i will likely delete the game, no point trying to complete something they won’t let you finish.
Also i tried emailing through the feedback button in the game - email address not recognised

Thank you for sharing your experience and feedback! We have optimized the order system to make future gameplay smoother. We’ve also made adjustments to the puzzle event. If you encounter issues with completing the puzzle, it might be because the pieces need to be manually dragged into place to complete them—this will be further improved in upcoming updates.

Enjoyable but

Ok so the graphics are good the concept good but, the amount of game energy needed to do stuff is just too restrictive. I need to get a staple gun, i need at least 512 paperclips to merge up into 1 staple gun. Bearing in mind you get paper out of the bin too that means you probably going to need about 1000 energy just to get that. But i dont just need the staple gun i need 3 items for that job. So thats 2 to 3 thousand energy.

Then theres the mahjong puzzles that cost 1 energy per tile removed and theres over 100 on each. So if your energy is empty and you get 1 every 1.5 minutes thats about 70 minutes.

Close to deleting because its just come on play 5 mins wait 70 mins come on play 5 mins wait 70 mins come on play 5 minutes………. I’m not buying it, the game just isnt worth paying for
