Love & Pies - Merge Game by Trailmix Ltd Gameplay Review #7

So glad that I finally covered this game! I remember ages ago waiting for them to release a game, ever since realizing Supercell invested in them, I looked the look of their Twitter photo.

Wow! Mar 8, 2018 is when I first found them according to Google MyActivity, that's insanely long ago! Over 4 years ago! That was early days in my channel, my goodness, how long it's been!
https://www.rollingstone.com/glixel/news/supercell-invests-42-million-in-studio-trailmix-w516236 (just tried it, sadly no longer works) was the article I read, I used to regular search up "Supercell" on Google, and then click "news" to read about any news about them, as I found Supercell a super fascinating company.
Alternative four sources that would have been similar to that article above which sadly wasn't wayback archived.

Anyway very happy I finally tried their game after all these years! "The announcement came on 30th September 2021 with the official team releasing the game on both Android and iOS devices, with the launch trailer also releasing on the same date. The team had soft-launched the game in December 2020 for select regions" so it wasn't that long ago that they released it, although I wish I'd tried it right when they released it. https://gamingonphone.com/news/love-pies-supercells-partner-trailmix-globally-launch-their-first-game/#:~:text=The%20announcement%20came%20on%2030th,December%202020%20for%20select%20regions.

Lovely Art, Great Storyline, Fun and Casual Gameplay
In a sea of cheap, copy and paste cash-grab games this is a true gem to find. I have played other merge games only to be attacked by ads every two seconds and aggresive pushing of microtransactions to continue, but that's not the case with this one! In fact, aside from the microtrasactions they do have, they are reasonably priced and give you a lot for your money.

The actualy game is like your typical merge game, but they do so well at intertwining it with the story, it makes it much more engaging! Note that this is a casual game, you will have to wait to progress but it's a reasonable amount of time and paying isnt necessary to continue (A possible suggestion for developers,I would love to be able to find a way to see how long until the "spawners" replenish)

I think however one of the biggest things I love about this game and what makes it stand out among the others is the story and characters. It really does seem at first to be your typical "inhereted a building and have to refurbish it" game but thought was put into the characters and stories. The characters are very diverse and its wonderful seeing more representation of LGBT folks and people of color. It was clear a lot of though was put into this game and I hope to see more games like this in the future.

Wonderfully designed, and great developers!
Let me just say that everything about this game design-wise is delightful. The visuals are bright and cheery, the characters are interesting and clearly have their personalities thought through, the story is fun to follow (maybe a little cliche to begin with, but I don’t mind it), and the animation is honestly better than what I see in most mobile games. There is so, so much to love about it, and I can’t wait to see how it’s built upon in the future.

As well as that, the developers are super responsive! Perhaps just because the game is relatively new, but either way they really seem to take note of what players are saying (or complaining about, whoops) and use that feedback to make their gameplay better. It’s clear that they care deeply about the product they’re creating, as well as all those who love playing through it!

All in all, I think Love & Pies has a really fun, solid foundation, and I’m so excited to see how the story and the game itself continue to develop from here. I think I’ll be keeping this one downloaded for a good while!

Fun characters, horribly abusive pricing
What this game gets right is its characters. They are fun and interesting. The story is fun too, though be prepared to get the slowest ever drip feed of it as you progress however. The main problem is everything in the game is geared towards making you spend money. I know, I know, it’s a free game they have to make their money, right? I agree the developers need to make money, but not in this ridiculous fashion. Even stuff you but doesn’t guarantee you what you expect/want, and the newest event of Sven’s toy shop is so horribly abusive, unfun, and designed to drain your wallet that it is ridiculous. Of course, guess which event nearly constantly runs now? The game gets so abusive with its pricing and wanting to get more and more money from you that it actively gets in its own way to be played. For example, most games that require energy to play, you can pay a small amount of premium currency to refill the energy, right? Well, this one will double that cost every time. So first 10 gems, then 20, then 40, etc. it’s ridiculous. And the item generating items you need to click to get the ingredients to merge also don’t start to refresh until you drain them, because of course they want you to have to spend gems to make them refresh immediately. Even upgrading those generators feels like it’s punishing rather than rewarding.
