one of the best merge games out there.
Thu Jul 20 2023 porquesoytristethis is a game very similar to love & pies, which is exactly what i was looking for. when im waiting for my energy to refill in gossip harbor, ill play love & pies, and vice versa.
im an ocean lover and as an autistic person its one of my hyperfixations, so i absolutely love the ocean theme (so is space, so olivia’s obsession with space makes me so happy too!). the characters are adorable and interesting, and i absolutely LOVE how theres actually good LGBTQ+ representation! the story is actually surprisingly interesting. i usually skip a lot of stories in games like this, but this one got me hooked right away. im so curious to see how everything ends up!
i love the art style, and the decor of the cafe. sometimes in games like these the options are so limited and not very interesting, but this game is just so pretty.
the events are also very fun, and actually quite challenging! but i like it that way. its a good balance of being rewarding yet still keeping you competitive and interested in the game. i just wish some of the events would last a little longer so we have more time to earn rewards, but its not a huge deal, as they cycle quite quickly and you are always getting new rewards from new events.
overall this is a great game! between this and love & pies theyre the only merge games i actually enjoy.
Honestly no complaints… ok maybe 1
Tue Aug 16 2022 ALLOTHERENICKNAMESARETAKEN5I was surprised to find that this game is actually quite fun. I’ve played my fair share of merge games and so I’ve become a little picky w them so I didn’t expect much. The game itself is adorable and there’s this mystery that’s trying to be solved as you complete tasks which is honestly quite clever. It’s not flooded w ads like some other merge games and starts u off w a significant amount of energy. I haven’t had it for long tho so I might find something that rlly annoys me later on but so far so good. The only real complaint I do have is the decorations you are given to choose from are (in my opinion) tacky, each of them are designed to fit a certain color scheme like green or blue or orange/red (I think those are the colors) which means if there’s a style of table u like there’s no way for it to work w other things you’ve chosen bc everything is a different color. I’m only on the cafe part right now and honestly I’m struggling to decorate things bc everything is a specific color. the designs of things aren’t the greatest either but that ofc is just my opinion. So in conclusion a cute little merge mystery game, something to try out it rlly helps occupy ur time when ur bored or waiting, just don’t get ur hopes up on the decorations
Best game ever!!!!
Wed Nov 16 2022 Kittens1110I have been playing this game for a couple months now, and i never get bored of it. Most merge games make you watch so many ads, or they just take forever. This one gives you good amount of energy at first and really only takes a hour or so to get 100 energy again which you can go eat or clean or anything. You could watch a quick ad for some energy or spend your gems, which isn’t a issue because you do get a good amount of gems here and there. The challenges are so fun and pretty easy, and the variety of things you can merge and create is nice. altogether the game is great, but the only downside is the decoration. It’s very tacky and hard to kind of match all around the cafe, but it doesn’t bother me as much. the story line is amazing and i don’t mind spending money on this game to get a few more goodies. The game is fun and unique. definitely worth the time i have put into it!!! i’m addicted to it, the more you play the more stuff you unlock and reveal.
Good needs minor changes
Mon Dec 26 2022 JJJ5467543I have tried several merge games and this is one of two that I really enjoy enough to log into daily to play. Visually, the play board is nice and the story is not horrible and is easy to skip through if you want to. However, it gets extremely frustrating to work towards one order for several weeks because most sources will release 6-10 items then need to recharge for an hour. I play to relax at night or on a lunch break so I’m not going to log on again an hour later when the source is reloaded. At level 22 I’m often not able to fill any orders because all 4-5 customer require items from the very limited sources. I purchased a promo package that awards rare items for filling orders and I can’t ever fulfill the daily challenge because there aren’t enough orders that don’t require extremely limited items (like level 10 shells that take 2 weeks to fill). It’s also frustrating to have the play board constantly cluttered with rare items that will take weeks to get the pieces to merge to create a finished source (beach baskets for example) I have started looking for other games to switch to because of this but otherwise this could have been a super fun game.
Shopping pass is impossible!!
Fri Dec 09 2022 Andeey.Found this game via an ad from another game and downloaded it. Pretty good at first, but then after a few levels, every item takes 20 steps to make and the generators take forever on a time delay. Worse, I paid money for the shopping pass, and I’m barely to level 18 (of 36) and each higher level takes thousands of points to unlock! It’s literally impossible to get through the pass with the energy levels, time, and items needed to merge. The extra games (like recent food truck fire) eat up the energy for very little return. It’s honestly a good game, but the developers need to be a little more reasonable on rewards, energy banks, and number of merges to get items completed to keep people engaged. I’ve spent three days trying to make this stupid Dalmatian dog, and if I ever get done, it’s only for a small amount of coins and gems. I’m likely uninstalling and certainly not paying more real money to buy gems or energy with so little return on the fun. The worse part is you can buy energy with gems, but it keeps going up. First 100 is 10 gems, then 20, then 40, then 80! You “wait out” the game and it might give an add to watch for 15 energy (which is like 4 merges). Ugh, I’m getting angry just thinking about how much better they could have made this by being reasonable.

Mon Jul 17 2023 joksteerSeriously a cash cow game. They make their money easily off of you and the paid advertisements. I only made it to level 13, while spending my money. Yes my fault, the point is. I only got to that level by spending money. The requests of the dinners are so ridiculously hard to make, and the game started feeling redundant. Basically you get no where fast. Even while spending money. Then they allow you to get extra energy by advertising. So they are making that money too. The they start encouraging you to play their other games for rewards. So basically, you will spend money there too. I honestly did not pay much attention to the storyline for the most part, however when I did, I was even more put off. What a waste of time and money. If you like repetitive game play this may be for you. And let me assure you, IT IS REDUNDANTLY REPETITIVE. And a cash cow. Technically a F2P game. However, if you really want to advance in a reasonable way. Then you must P2P.
Update- got the typical cookie cutter response. It was as always seriously unhelpful. My review will remain at -0.
Save your time and money. Unless you have excessive time to play into their other social media contests and hope you win anything. Fact remains. No matter how much energy you get. The game is still 2 redundant to get anywhere to be considered satisfying.
Fun, but limited playing time.
Sat Mar 25 2023 cassidytruthlordHi! I’ve had this game for a while, and it’s enjoyable to play, but only for around 15mins per use. The game has a concept of earning coins to pay to continue to the next mission. In order to get coins, you must play a mini-game and merge items to make dishes and serve people. Here’s where I find the issue with Gossip Harbor, the game has an icon that is a lightning bolt which stands for your energy. In order to produce an ingredient or item, you must use up a lighting bolt, therefore constantly using energy. When your energy is out, and you can no longer continue with the mini-game without paying real cash, you may be able to speak to one or two people to complete the next task, but then what? It takes a minute to be able to produce an ingredient leaving me waiting over an hour to be able to do anything in the game again. I don’t understand. Why would the developers limit people’s playing time on their game? Gossip Harbor does indeed have no ads, which is beneficial, but at what cost is it worth if you are only playing the game for 15mins?
It’s good but I have a complaint. Please read this!!!
Tue Feb 28 2023 HannahLudienIt’s good but might recommend something. First off, I would like to say that this game is really good if you are bored. But I saw this game on an ad, and it was very deceiving because the ad looked way different than what I saw on the game. Please STOP 🛑 putting fake ads and deceiving people because it’s getting really boring. And also, in the ad, it shows a homeless girl and gets adopted by a poor woman. They go to a house and the person/hand controlling how to fix the house or controlling what they decide to do to fix the house always makes the wrong choice which gets on my nerves. WHY WOULD YOU CHOOSE TAPE THAN A DOOR TO PREVENT THE COLD?! Stupidity. So back to the game. Why do I have to wait 2 minutes just to get 1 more energy?! That’s not fair?!?! I would recommend you change this to at least 15-20 seconds 5 seconds is even the best. That’s what makes the games fun!!!!!!! Goodbye.
It’s fun but I have complaints
Fri Sep 09 2022 Misty_Midnight_Feathers🪶I got this game about a month ago and I have to admit that I’m loving it, it has a complex but I simple story and it’s not impossible. But on thing I will say is your ads are fake, there’s a lot of different games like this though so I won’t criticize that much I would just appreciate it if you would be honest with your ads. I also appreciate how it’s not one of those pay to win games, you get 100 energy and you ahead to wait a minute for each, seems fair to me, you can buy some with gems to and you can actually buy gems. But the thing that impresses me the most is that you can actually get a fair amount of gems for free, and the characters are really likable. It’s pretty much a good game but I jus have one more complaint. The decoration style is good but it’s for one certain color and sometimes it could look tacky, now there is ways to make it look good but that’s all I wanted to say, it still is a really good game so I suggest you check it out
Fun game
Wed Oct 05 2022 TlynpittsUpdate: I am still enjoying the merge part of the game but I have to say that the storyline is getting annoying. There are so many grammar issues and not to mention whoever is writing the storyline keeps mixing things up. First it was Quinn’s dad who poisoned his clients, and then suddenly he isn’t even mentioned anymore and it switches to being the ex-husband (who was actually a fiancé in the earlier chapters) who was being investigated for the poisoning. Who knows what is going on at this point? But it detracts from the game in my opinion.
I really enjoy this game. There aren’t annoying ads, there is a storyline that is interesting and fun merges. The only downside to this game is when you work to fill orders to collect coins and all you get is a conversation from it. 150 coins for a conversation is way to much. Most of the time when it takes that many coins there is no action to be done. Those high coin transactions should be saved for actions not conversations.
