Merge Flavour: Decor Restaurant brings more casual puzzle fun to Android, soon to iOS

• Merge Flavor: Decor Restaurant offers a new entry in the sizeable cooking sim genre
• Upgrade and decorate your kitchen, serve delectable dishes and more
• Find it out now on Android, coming soon to iOS

Looking to beef up your merge puzzle options? Fan of cookery, melodrama and everything in between? Well then maybe TAAP Game Studio's latest effort Merge Flavor: Decor Restaurant is for you, with its mix of culinary sim, merge puzzles and more! It's out now on Android via Google Play and expected to land for iOS on May 20th, so let's dig in.

If you've played a cookery-based merge puzzler, of which there are a great many, you're probably already familiar with what Merge Flavor: Decor Restaurant has to offer. You build up and decorate your own restaurant, play out merge puzzles and slowly follow along a fairly melodramatic storyline that hopes to keep you engrossed.

Now, it's likely clear that this genre is not particularly for me, but I can definitely see the appeal. And if you're the kind of person who bounces around releases like this I'm sure an extra entry for your to-do list is more than welcome. But if you're looking for a standout that adds a new twist to the genre, you might want to look elsewhere.

Admittedly, while I don't exactly get the appeal myself I do understand it from a theoretical point of view. I know that June's Journey, Wooga's big flagship point-and-click puzzler, has a major audience invested in the monthly stories related to it. But at the same time, it also feels as if Merge Flavor is one of those that puts everything and the kitchen sink together to see what works.

At the same time, with good graphics, simple gameplay and all the requisite features I mentioned earlier, for the right person, it's likely up their alley.
