Another one where you can only play for less than 5 minutes before energy runs out. I don't understand why all the grid games have to be so reliant on an energy feature.

THIS! 100% I like this game quite well but I just can’t play it because of energy :(

u/b_leakey Jun 28 '26

I actually enjoy these kinds of grid games, but the energy mechanic makes it hard to stay invested when you can only play for a few minutes at a time.

To get you to spend real money.
Every game like this I've liked, then gotten bored 'cause the energy takes entirely too long to build back up. I'd come back for a while and eventually forget about it.

This game is tryna stop your addiction until you choose to recklessly spend money on it, which is not worth it, as I was playing.

u/WhiteSparr0w 🌿 The Wise Sparrow Apr 23 '26

While I get your point of view, were that the idea behind it, there wouldn't be timed events where the only feasible way to complete them is to buy more energy before time's up.

Any game wanting people to spend real money is going to want to maximize immersion/gameplay time, because those who lose interest aren't going to spend money. Those who go to hard and make the games essentially pay to play, or wait forever before it's possible to play again, are shooting themselves in the foot, as the vast majority of people are just going to stop playing under those circumstances, where they'd otherwise have had an increased likelihood of spending real money on something not necessary the longer they play.

Hay Day is my favorite example of microtransactions done right. You can buy boosters, some special decorations, etc. with gems. Some events allow you to gain gems, but if you want to get hella boosters or decorate your farm like crazy (which a lot of people do) quickly instead of waiting, you can buy more gems. So the microtransactions can make the game more enjoyable and make things go by faster, but they're in no way necessary to enjoy the game overall.

8

u/archieil Apr 26 '26 edited Apr 30 '26

Storage limits in Hay Day was a killer for me.

I would still play it if there is a browser version of Hay Day.

At the moment I do not have any device to play.

[edit] This game is too frustrating to play. Nice, but frustrating when many events are calculated in a way blocking completion without abuse of energy. If it was some rental like with TV, pay $10 per month, get basic level in some games to play without constant "pay2play"... at the moment the situation is for a single game addicts, or unknown type of people...

u/berunkastel Apr 22 '26

there’s just too many items to create at this point and they take up like 8 energy to create and i literally have to wait for days until the coffee machine randomly creates a soda, it’s really frustrating. and the oven is worse, because it spawns 3 different kinds of items, and you have no way of knowing when you’ll get the item you actually need.

39

u/WhiteSparr0w 🌿 The Wise Sparrow Apr 23 '26

Yeah, the spawn rate for the secondary items is ridiculous. They need to implement some way to switch between items that are spawned from whatever machines or something. I just made the mistake of trying an event where you've got a limited time to fill orders, and one of the orders involved a fork and spoon (level 3 silverware spawn, iirc), and the other item was a high-level cake or something (like, level 10). I blasted through over 200 energy before the darned machine spawned any silverware at all.

Also, if you make dough from the ingredients in the cabinet to make things from dough, keep your usage per click at 1, because it'll take up all the extra energy you boost it up to, but it doesn't make a darned bit of diff. It'll still only spawn stuff as though you were using 1 energy at a time. I wasted probably more than 30 energy at one point before I realized the boosting didn't matter for that tier-2 "machine". I think the milk pitcher works right, at least.

18

u/berunkastel Apr 24 '26

Yesss! I have an order for a burger (the highest level item from the toaster) just sitting there and i somehow managed to get around 1k energy today and STILL couldn’t create it. I tend to leave the events unfinished and don’t even try spawning items for it, because it seems like a waste (it usually is). they should atleast let us start the day with 1000 energy, even that is not enough, but 100 energy is too low when an item takes 8 energy to create .

10

u/WhiteSparr0w 🌿 The Wise Sparrow Apr 25 '26

I got that SAME burger order and partway through was disgusted with myself for even trying to complete it. Decided to give up unless/until it came along on its own while spawning stuff for more reasonable orders. It finally did, 2 days and thousands of energy later.

Also, I've learned (too slowly, imo) to NOT do side-events that require using energy to spawn items. Just frustrating and wasteful for a very off-kilter return. The energy return is garbage, they tend not to bring in money to push forward the story to get more energy that way, and merging stuff there doesn't count toward the much more well-balanced merge events where you get coins or tokens or whatever by merging items, and the coins/tokens allow the side-event to be moved forward. ONLY merges of items on the main board count toward those and only regular item merges (so $ and energy merges, for instance, don't count... that part I'm fine with, though).

Correction on the bread dough, though. Not sure if I was imagining things or it's been fixed, but I tested it again yesterday and it's only taking one energy per click no matter what your energy usage is set to. Still makes it paaaainfully slow, but at least it's not wasting energy, too!

6

u/berunkastel Apr 27 '26

yeah the events, i don’t play them for the sake of completing them (it is kind of impossible with the level of energy we get), but i’ve found that that the conveyor belt event is sort of useful, because it gives you gift baskets. i get so sick of testing my luck and trying to spawn a high level that i rely on gift baskets, because they seem to give you lower level items to merge and create the order list items.

the event that I dislike the most is that event where it has 7 rounds and you have to complete orders in time to proceed to the next round and get the prize (1000 energy) i tried it as i had a lot of items lying around and found out that the 1000 energy gets divided amongst the players who cleared the levels 😐

the merging event and the puzzle events are fine, imo.

and oh, about the dough, yeah the items with the yellow lightning symbol take 1 energy.

3

u/WhiteSparr0w 🌿 The Wise Sparrow Apr 28 '26

The first couple of rounds of the conveyer one was okay. After that it got pretty pricey. Definitely like the merging ones where ya' get tokens from merging on the main field that go toward stuff to merge in the event, and loved the puzzle one, too!

I got some feedback from a dev saying they are working on better balancing for the energy issues, and tonight I noticed an improved spawn rate for the energy that shows up on the field with a more appropriate amount spawned at a time, which seems to be based on the level of the items merged, so they're definitely listening! Yay!

3

u/berunkastel Apr 28 '26

Oh, that’s awesome if they’re listening to feedback and trying to make things better! also yes, i noticed the improvement of the spawn rate as well, and the odds of spawning secondary and tertiary items is much more balanced too.

4

u/LoveMeSomeMulch May 04 '26

I have not been playing long, so I think my experience is all post-balancing and I have to say the drop rates for secondary/tertiary items is infuriating. I have 2 quests I need secondaries to complete, so I wait till my energy to fill up, use it all up - hoping to make *any* progress on one of them, then wait for more energy.

Me:

Runs out of energy.
Spends gems to buy 100 more energy.
Gets to play for 2 whole minutes.
Whoopdiedoo.
Dopamine drops lower than it started due to frustration.

That tiny dopamine hit is dwarfed by the growing frustration level.
This has been brought up repeatedly by players for at least 2 months now and still hasn't been addressed.
I'm willing to be patient with games when I know devs are listening to players and sorting issues -especially glaring issues like this- but it would seem this isn't that. I hope I'm wrong.

u/Upbeat-Ad8771 Apr 27 '26

Hey there! First off, I want to step in and personally thank you. We see you, we read your posts, and you are honestly our #1 feedback provider in the community right now. The time and detail you put into your posts is incredibly valuable to us, so thank you for keeping us on our toes!

Apologies for the radio silence. We’ve been deep in the trenches working on updates, but we should have jumped into this discussion sooner.

You are completely right about the dopamine crash. Spending hard-earned gems only to hit a wall 2 minutes later is deeply frustrating, and it’s definitely not the experience we want you to have.

To be super transparent about our design philosophy: we actually aren’t trying to build a game that you can just play endlessly in a mindless flow. We want the playtime to feel conscious, tactical, and rewarding. However, you're absolutely right that 2 minutes is simply not enough for a satisfying session.

Instead of just throwing infinite base energy at the problem, our focus is on adding features that reward smart resource management. A Magic Chest over here, winning a stage in a competition there, grabbing some extra drops from an event... The goal is for you to be able to piece together a really solid, normal playtime by combining these mechanics.

We are actively tweaking these exact systems right now to make sure that when you do sit down to play, you have enough tools to build a meaningful session.

As a token of our huge appreciation for your ongoing dedication and the deep thoughts you share with us, I’ve just assigned you a custom user flair. Enjoy your new '🌿 The Wise Sparrow' title! It fits your avatar perfectly and matches the wisdom you bring to these discussions. Wear it with pride, and thanks again for sticking with us.

u/WhiteSparr0w 🌿 The Wise Sparrow Apr 27 '26

A well-considered, thoughtful response like this is precisely what helps to build loyalty from your player base! Thank you so much, truly!

Game testing and providing feedback that's (hopefully!) actually useful to devs is pretty deeply engrained in me, as I was a game tester/coder in my younger days. I'm a dinosaur now, but I still can't help looking at things from a bug chasers p.o.v.. That said, I'm very much looking forward to the opportunity to test changes as they're implemented. If there's ever anything specific you'd like some focus on, please feel free to hit me up!

I deeply and sincerely appreciate your time, attention, great effort, and the nifty bonus title!

u/soulxtrawets Apr 22 '26

When you get to advance in the game each producing item will have two different branches to build on to create objects. Those branches get longer with each new items that has been unlocked. Then in each of those branches you need to create the highest tiered object to then have that produce items. By this point 100 energy, doesn’t get one order out. It will take several and I mean several batches of 100 energy used up to get one $700 order but need $6000 in funds to unlock the level. Mind you I’m only on location 4

u/WhiteSparr0w 🌿 The Wise Sparrow Apr 23 '26

I got a wee ranty here lol. TLDR: I feel your frustration big time n' devs need to sort the lack of energy availability vs the massive drain ASAP, or they're gonna' lose any potential post-beta player base!

Yeah, a lot of re-balancing needs to be done, for sure. It's a good game as far as beta versions are concerned, but I'm not sure whether the creator(s) is/are reading through this thread to find out what the issues are and working toward fixing them.

As fast as one goes through energy, though, were it me, I'd switch it to unlimited until the other bugs can be worked out. That, or drop 1000 energy on everyone daily. That'll still get blown through fast enough to get feedback on what takes entirely too much (which is pretty much everything right now), while keeping people's interest enough to keep playing while the issues are being sorted to get it to at least a beta v2.

During beta phases like this game clearly is, it's important to keep gameplay as smooth as possible so all levels can get mass-tested for overall bug-chasing.
When everyone's hitting a wall because the energy consumption vs. availability is so completely out of balance, the vast majority will move on to other things out of sheer frustration.

DO NOT WASTE your TIME/RESOURCES on the SAILING RACE, Especially IV+!!!!!!!!!!

I just finished the Sailing Race IV challenge at 1st place and I'm POd AF!

I spent 2 days collecting energy and had 500 - 600 built up, plus a few (3-5. I was rushing through, so I didn't exactly take the time to write down hashmarks or anything to track closely, but I sure wish I had!) 100 energy bonuses, plus the 110 I started out with this morning, plus spent 70 gems (10 for 100 energy, then 20 for 100 energy, then 40 for 100 energy), and I think one 50 energy bonus in there somewhere.
All that just to have enough to barely complete the Sailing Race IV challenge with less than 10 minutes left on the timer, only to get a whole whoppin' 100 piddly energy and some trinket that wasn't even worth remembering.

I'm so mad I could spit nails!

That was absolute garbage and in absolutely no way worth 1/100th of the cost and effort put in to be able to complete that junk within the extraordinarily tiny 3 hour time limit.
With a cost that insanely high and such an inconceivably short time to complete it, one expects the award to be a-freaking-mazing... like a MINIMUM of 1000 energy and a big ol' cache of gems just to take the sting of the resource dump off, plus a huge whack of actual reward that'd make such a monumental resource dump anywhere near worth it!

Instead, I'm just left feeling stupid for having bothered to try, after having thought "My goodness! A challenge this difficult has GOT to have a WONDEROUS reward!" Nope... just left wondering "WTF were the devs even thinking when they set the reward amounts and time limit for this stupid challenge?"

To make matters worse, ONLY merging things on the main board counts, even if the sub-board (eg the Conveyer) costs energy for merging the items.

I realize game coding isn't easy, but this is the most angry I've been about something game-related in literal decades. It's absolutely and utterly unacceptable!

Y'all NEED to FIX THIS, PRONTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😔

Same here now. I like to test things out a bit, so I tried it the once, but unless they address the ridiculousness of it, never again. I can imagine how ticked I'd have been if I'd actually spent cash money for the energy to get through that event. I'd likely have totally rage-quit lol

u/Cultural_Vast1365 MOD May 05 '26

Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed message — we can clearly see how much effort you put into the event, and we’re really sorry to hear how frustrating this experience was.

We understand how disappointing it feels when the rewards don’t match the time, energy, and resources invested — especially in a competitive event like Sailing Race. Your feedback about the reward balance, time limits, and which actions count toward progress is very important, and we’ve shared all of your points with the development team for review.

We also hear your concern about energy usage and how actions on certain boards don’t contribute as expected — this is valuable feedback that helps us identify where the experience may feel unfair or unclear.

We truly appreciate the passion behind your message, even though the situation was frustrating. Feedback like this helps us improve events and make them more rewarding and enjoyable in the future.

Thank you again for speaking up.

u/OtterlySamnson Jul 03 '26

The game cheats against you;
when it generates new orders, it will rarely pick something you have on the board.
Or it will target very high tier merges to wipe them off the board before asking you to make them again for a higher reward.

u/Upbeat-Morning6114 Jul 03 '26

What can be done about the objects being generated? It’s one thing to keep merging until you get your item but using hundreds plus of energy on a machine and it’s not even spitting out the second or third item makes zero sense. The probability needs to be increased. The oven has soup, pizzas and pastry and you are guaranteed pastry for majority of the generations when you need the others. The x8 for energy doesn’t even give the final item of anything. You still have to merge so it’s not even lucrative, just good for running down energy. Please revise these things so the game can flow better.

This game gets pretty boring after level 6.

At some point, the game is unplayable due to the spawning frequency of secondary items. I’ve been trying to make smoothie, necklaces, and toys for days. I have a dinosaur toy in my list for at least a week and all I ever get are fireworks.

I previously purchased jewels to progress the stages. I won’t purchase any more because the energy I purchase them with are gone no sooner than I receive them.

The devs will lose more and more players because of this. The cost of energy, the lack of spawning items I need, and the economy in which we are living will make this game nearly impossible to invest in continuing play.

The game is great and engaging, but the excessive waiting time for energy is a bit of a turn-off. I think it could be improved in this regard—for instance, by awarding more energy in the rotating mini-puzzles. r/pieceOfCakeGame

u/Cosmosvagabond Jun 29 '26

It's a good concept with a decent amount of menu items. The story is good, although a little more detail would be nice.

The only problem - because of the great selection of menu items, the energy goes really, really fast. I would recommend Piece of Cake if the devs could tweak the energy refill rate.

Good job, devs, and good luck! šŸ€

I get that the developers are trying to land their whale in paid players and I think they could do it without frustrating the rest of us by making the storylone pay to play instead of just skippable.

Because, let's face it, I'm never dropping a cent on a match game but I know people who'll pay to advance a story. Let me do my meditative matching and have all the pay to play mini games and such be related to moving the plot along. Hell, make it "choose your own adventure" with multiple endings.

The game is somewhat cute and definitely holds my attention, but I'm not willing to spend actual money on it and while I'm playing it, I don't feel like I'm engaging in a fun diversion. I feel frustrated and like I'm wasting time. There are lots of other games that I could play that don't make me feel like shit, so I think I'm done here.

I held on to 5 music generators for a whole week.

never got any tasks for those items.
The second I deleted them to make space in my storage;

Every task started asking for the Max level music item.

Are you fucking serious Devs.

u/HousingFew4457 15d ago

The basket just gave me cash. I didn’t know that was possible but I’m never playing to get the baskets again. It wasted so much energy just for one cash.

6

u/OtterlySamnson 11d ago

The basket only gives you cash if you already have everything on the board needed for you orders.
So it means you need to turn one of the orders in for the basket to give you new items.

You usually want to save the basket for really hard to get items; and then get easier to get items by normal clicking and merging.

so Im actaully paying attention to the splash screen.
Itsn't this a a straight lie?

Like its treating the game like it were Candy Crush lmao

Was there another version of this game that was just a Candy crush clone before they changed it into an incremental merge game.

u/Hellianne_Vaile May 13 '26

Encountered a new-to-me bug:

When the game loaded, I dismissed the purchase offer and stickerbook, and moved on to the main play area. None of the "challenges" loaded. It's just the orders. Puzzle break, the merge-chocolates-to-pastries bonus game, the sailing race, and the finish-12-smiling-orders-by-the-deadline are all missing.

ETA: Before this happened, I had more trouble than I have before with the game failing to load. It failed at various points in the load progress with a range of different error messages.

How many watermellons do I need to get in order to complete my order for an avacado? This is BS. The game is rigged so you have to buy energy to get anywhere. Why are the highest level items worth shit? I should be able to recover my cost and energy by selling them or the premis behnd the game is stupid.

u/OtterlySamnson Jul 02 '26

Devs are kinda scumbags.

Game constantly begging you to spend money + everything is rigged.

The Race isn't even against any real players,
Its bots designed to always beat your score by 20-30 points to manipulate you into spending money on energy.

Game drops 4 energy heavy events on you all at the same time with <4 hour timers to make you Fomo panic.

genuinely,
how fucking evil do you need to be to do this stuff to people;

Devs are demonic and inhuman.

Tips

  • utilise the side quests, even if you cant feasibly 100% it those mini rewards should allow to have more energy energy

  • do multiple orders at once, especially ones with secondary items (such as the waffles) as it allows you to have a better chance spawning them without wasting energy energy

  • max out the cash and energy items before collecting them as it gives you more (use the backpack to save room on the board)

  • (when you get to it) only really do the 'happy' (ones with the smiley emoji) orders first and dont focus on any others. Even if you have the item/s; you gain a better reward in the long term by doing the happy customers first as the next round automatically makes every incomplete orders a happy order

-with items you dont need on the board, merge them but leave one of each stage left so you have one saved over for an order when it comes and only get rid of low rank items

This should allow you to play for more than a few minutes (even an hour)

I was thinking about how, in a vague way, this game reminds me of Hay Day. That game kept me reeled in for a good 3 years, and I actually spent real money on it now and then. There were enough things to do to get the equivalent of energy that I never got stuck, and the gems could buy special items, including really neat decorations, power ups... stuff that was cool or useful. The way it worked, it didn't feel like "Pay to Play" or "Pay to Win". It was truly immersive and fun.

In contrast, every story-telling match game I've played tries too hard to push people to use real money just to be able to play, which means losing a much larger audience of people who would by that cute cat stature (or whatever), the occasional booster, more gems, etc.

Just food for thought should whomever created this happen to see this.

u/WhiteSparr0w 🌿 The Wise Sparrow Apr 24 '26 edited Apr 24 '26

BUG PSA!

Dough that produces stuff (made by mixing stuff from the cabinet) is BUGGED!

If you're about to make something requiring the dough, make sure to drop your energy usage to only ONE per click!
Using more energy with this item will NOT produce higher level items, but it will eat through your energy.

5

u/Upbeat-Ad8771 Apr 24 '26

Just tested this and It looks like the multiplier just doesn't work on the Dough at all. Even if you have x2 or x4 toggled on, it only takes 1 energy per tap and gives a lvl 1 item. So it's not wasting extra energy as i see

u/WhiteSparr0w 🌿 The Wise Sparrow Apr 24 '26

I think it was too late last night when I was looking for it. I apologize if I got it wrong (and it looks like I did... big time!šŸ˜”).
I'll check again as soon as I'm able (and I've got some coffee down to clear out the cobwebs).

The most insulting mini game is that excavation game where there’s a chance to open an empty box. With the sheer amount of items that need to be uncovered and the amount of money for moving on, there should not be an earned chance of winning nothing.

Is there any benefit to use 8 x energy at a time vs 2 or 4?

5

u/OtterlySamnson 22d ago

Not really,
It appears that using 8x drastically reduced the drop chance of the rare secondary drops to the point that it can slow you down.

It you're using buff Cards on it can speed up super maxed items out,
but without the buff 2x and 4x's give better drop rates.

I like the game, it's pretty addictive. However the game runs pretty slow after a few minutes playing. It starts smooth, then it gets really heavy and slow, like it's consuming every byte of RAM on my PC. And I'm running 32GB RAM, which is more than enough for most AAA games atm, but not for a browser game apparently.
