it's fine - the gameplay is essentially the same no matter the restaurant, the design elements are pretty, and the storyline is interesting. Without spending extra or watching ads, it takes way too much coin for an upgrade and way too long to get said upgrades. the amounts also become larger the more you play. leading to me no longer being interested.
This game is just frustrating monetization. Upgrades cost too much - 1500 coins for a pan upgrade, yet levels only reward 10 coins if you're lucky. Red gems require 80 for an upgrade, but you only win 1 to 3 per level. The grind is exhausting, making the game more annoying than relaxing & fun. To add the the frustration when purchasing the upgrades, you then have to wait for the lengthy cooldown forcing the players to wait hours before they can even be used. I obvi don't recommend this game.
Game play is nice, but the ads are completely put of control. My wife plays on her iPad and gets a forced ad every 10 levels or so. I get them non-stop. Every time a finish a level. Even if I watch an ad for the reward, it still gives me ANOTHER ad. Would give more than 2 stars if it weren't so incredibly over the top. It feels like one of those VOODOO games that are just ad machines.
Love this game. But after completing the first restaurant, you have to have all the upgrades you can afford. And it is hard to keep up. So you get to levels that you cant complete till you get the upgrades. Which you have it coming hours away. You can use gems to make it faster. But you need gems for every upgrade as well as money. It gets very hard to almost impossible to progress. Because I refuse to pay to play. I love the storyline though. Level 35 is impossible
I enjoy this game. Its simple to understand and fun play. But theres an egregious number of ads, one after every level you play. I bought a bundle in the game that included a permanent end to auto ads just to get rid of them. And I was delivered what was promised, no more auto ads. However, after a break from the game, and an update to the app, auto ads are back, and the game is insisting I make another purchase to disable them again. I get free game developers need income, but that is not okay.
I love this game! I've been playing it a lot recently. It's my new obsession. The graphics are nice and the levels have good balance. You really don't HAVE to spend anything to get through it. It's tough sometimes but entirely possible. I also find the premise of the story really cute, and I really love the dynamic between Mike and Jane. Kinda hope they end up getting together lol. If they do, I'd give this 5 stars. I'm holding the last star hostage until then. Great game, though!
WARNING! AD FARM! the game starts out fun, you start to build the restaurant, get the flow of the game and then suddenly it's ads after every level. It would be one thing if choosing the times the reward option replaced the ad after the level, but no! You watch another ad after that! Even just every other level would be tolerable. Sorry this game is not worth me spending actual money to make it ad free.
This game was fun for a while, but then I got to the "super hard level," and it's unpassable. I literally took care of all of the customers until closed yet somehow still didn't pass. I replayed the same level 20 times over a week, and still nothing. Just kept trying to get me to buy more gems instead. It's not worth playing if games only allow you to pass if you spend money.
I thought it would be a generic mobile game that I'll play for a little while and then delete, but it's actually a really decent game! The art style is fantastic, and the gameplay is pretty fun. Will definitely recommend, especially as a mobile game. (Also, please add normal cloud support so I can play the game on mobile and then continue on pc without logging on and off my Facebook account over and over again. Thanks)
I enjoy this game. One of my favorite cooking ones, actually. Which is why it sucks that I will be uninstalling it, because what I don't enjoy is watching multiple ads and passing multiple levels to get 20,000 coins and then only having 2,000 when I move to the next story AND only 2,000 even when I go back to the last one... I can't figure out how you possibly think that's acceptable. I have no desire to play a game that takes 18,000 coins away from me. Do better.
P.O.S. I have never paid to remove ads before, but I was enjoying this game a lot, so decided to pay the $7 to remove them and soon after that got to a point in the game where it was rigged and you couldn't win the level without paying gems which I no longer had. Oh, but only for $5 more, I could buy more gems and keep playing. If you don't make a way to allow people to earn points to keep playing without paying money, then don't call the game free!
This was fun. For about an hour. If you think you can make it past level 42 without spending money, you're wrong. In fact, everything about the game is geared toward making the levels past 35 pay to play only as it's impossible to progress without power ups unless you happen to have ten extra fingers. Don't waste your time. I'm pissed that I did. Uninstalled and will not be playing it again. So sick of this kind of thing. Just make a good game and I will happily spend money on it!
I love this game! Yes, there's ads after every level, but I tune them out because I love the 5x multiplier. Some people say it takes forever to get 20k coins. I disagree. I upgrade my cooking gear first and find it easy to make coins quickly. I started 3 and a half days ago and have run out of storyline. That's my only complaint. Please bring new stories quickly so I can continue to play! Btw...thanks to the ads this is the 1st game where I haven't had to spend money! Keep up the good work! 👍
4 stars because the ads are a little excessive. I wish I could give stars for each category because everything would be 5 stars except for ad presence. HOWEVER - I do like the option they give you to watch the ad for extra rewards - just don't like it when the ads get shoved down my throat because I finished a level. Graphics and everything are really good and I like that there's a story behind the game and it keeps getting better. LOVE IT.
I agree with others that this is an awesome cooking game & it's easy to win coins & boosters, which is great! But the ads are too much! Wayyy to many ads! Plus changing restaurants takes too long! Usually once u complete a kitchen set then u move into new place. Not here... ur stuck till it moves u along. Too bad about those couple things bcuz this is a really fun cooking game!
I like this game a lot. The levels aren't impossible to win. They give you a lot of boosters and chances to get boosters. The story line is cute. I'm only giving 3 stars for 2 reasons. First, it's kind of expensive if you want to go ad free or buy coins/boosters. Second and biggest reason. I just paid $5.00 to buy a pack and your came took almost 20,000 coins from me when I moved to the next restaurant. That's not cool at all. I won't be spending any more money until that's fixed.
Cheaters!!! when you watch ads to get a kitchen upgrade the game crashes and then the only option is to buy more rubies, this has happened too many times to be a mistake. also if it doesn't crash you don't get the rewards for watching ads. This will ultimately destroy all games as no one will trust any game if they can be openly cheated like this. What a world we live in. Update 13th October 2024. Cheated out of 70 rubies and coins, watched ads no rewards 😑
the game is nice, but the ads are so annoying 😑 the game gives off so little coin, and the upgrades need so much coin, that you have to watch one minute ads to increase coins. don't get me started on delivery time, after you upgrade you then have to wait minutes. it's annoying to play this game.
I wish I could still opt to watch ads after purchasing the ad free option, only because now it's really hard to get enough coins to complete everything in the restaurants. I mostly purchased it to keep the ads from playing when I didn't want the multiplier.
Playing the levels is VERY addictive and fun. Then the level ends and then you can choose to watch an ad to get more rewards. Then I click away because I don't want more rewards, I just want to play the levels. Then there comes an ad anyways. I think this is very nasty. Then I start the game up all over, which makes up for 20 seconds less time lost, especially of you get like 10 unlimited playing minutes. Even restarting the game takes up half of that given time. It's not fair.
