Hello! I have been working on this game for quite a while and I was wondering how I could make it better. I would like feedback on how I could boost retention and engagement especially, but I appreciate any feedback I receive.

Backstory of how i got to this point
So basically I stumbled upon this game called “Merge But Better” from an ad and started playing it. It’s a simple game where you merge balls that spawn to make bigger ones. The game is actually a fan game from the original one called “Merge!” There was a whole community around it and stuff. So I found the game fun and jokingly decided to make a similar game. A game where you merge weird money called Mony. The game wasn’t great but it was a huge success compared to anything else I had made. I kept adding on to it but I wasn’t great at programming and so it was messy. (The weather script was four thousand lines!)
Eventually, my motivation flickered out and I just couldn’t update the game. I abandoned it and continued on other projects. I unsuccessfully remade it a few times, which tanked my motivation harder. Back in like October I decided to give it another go and with some stuff from my last remake attempt I was actually going somewhere with it. I somehow got my motivation back and now I’m here.
congrats for probably not reading all of that
How to play
- Mony spawns and you just push it together to merge it. You can check out the Mony in the journal.
- Weather and disasters adds some events to the game that makes Mony spawn or merges it.
- Settings has a lot of stuff to customize your gameplay.
- The lounge has arcade machines that spawn Mony and a vending machine (mostly work in progress)
- Special Mony (and higher tiers of normal mony) spawns that can have cool abilities.
- Player data saves in all servers (like currency and stuff seen in the stats menu)
- Private servers save the mony so without players it is currently recommended to use one if you plan on playing again.
- Inventory with tags you can collect and gear you can equip.
- Gear that can be obtained by purchasing it through the vending machine and other shops.
- Arcade where you can earn tickets and Mony for playing simple games. You can spend tickets on prizes.
Features I plan to add soon
- Upgrades - use your Mony to become better than before.
- Tutorial - showing users how to play the game.
- Daily rewards - come back for a reward.
- A bunch of other little things
- UI was good
- UI was bad
- Game was fun at first
- There needs to be more content
- Scripting was good

Note: Mony is intentionally spelled wrong. Mony is like a weird version of money.
Tell me what you think! Thank you!
