Addictively Fun - hard to avoid spending real money
Thu Jul 22 2021 App avengerFun games with good graphics. Food items could be a little more spread out on the cart to avoid dragging incorrect items you don’t need. The game does grant gems for achievements and for watching videos however you shouldn’t need them to upgrade items after a point of progress. This is where the spending of real money can happen. I’ve spent more than would like to admit and half of that was to speed up game progress or to continue playing after running out of gas aka lives so that’s on me but I have to take a star off because more upgrades that you 100% need to progress should be solely based on coins and not require gems unless you are upgrading earlier than you should. At level 50 all upgrades should be coin based as you have beat the city and are just on a vanity plight to achieve 3 stars on each level. Great game, addictive fun, but let’s reward players more and remove and/or reduce gems on upgrades. It’s fun enough where players like me who rarely buy gems won’t mind to play around round of lives immediately which should have a coin option as well.
Very addicting game but...
Sun May 30 2021 Ectheion7It has the same catch that Cooking Fever has; in that you can only advance to a certain point before you have to pay actual money to continue. It is very fun don’t mistake me on that part. The menu varieties are interesting and accurate to the regions they’re from. The visual effects are nice such as pouring drinks and varied like disposing of wrappers chopping food etc. They start the game slowly and give you time to figure out how to play and how to advance before it becomes too difficult. I have major reservations about only being able to play it a few times a day without paying. It’s like an arcade game you pay to play. Each level costs a certain amount of fuel for the flight and as the levels grow in number so does the cost of fuel. Once it’s gone you pay real money or have to wait for a long timer to get just one point of fuel. Very annoying. Especially because it is truly fun to play. Please fix the glitch with the pancake try. After you load a plate to serve the pancakes it doesn’t always register my touch because the tray that holds the plates isn’t the right size. It overlaps with customers speech bubbles that show what they want and make it hard to very quickly serve them as is needed in higher levels. I believe it’s in Moscow. Anyway if you are okay with dropping $20 for gems once in a while to allow you to properly upgrade things so you can serve ppl in time then you will be okay playing this game it’s addicting.
The juice isn’t worth the squeeze
Mon Jan 16 2023 Tricia1973UPDATE: Still playing the game, but my opinion of it really hasn’t changed. I usually go several days, if not weeks without playing, just so I can save up enough fuel to play several levels at once. I collect the daily reward and watch the videos just for collecting fuel, because I have no intention of spending real money to play. One major issue I have with the game is when I start a level and it’s so laggy, that when I try to put items on the tray or serve a passenger, literally NOTHING happens, so all the passengers are getting angry, and I end up either failing the level, restarting the level, or just get frustrated to the point that I quit playing altogether. Seems like this game has been around long enough that this wouldn’t be an issue. It is NOT an internet or connectivity issue. Super annoying, but for the couple times a month I
actually play, I’ll tolerate it.
Pretty much agree with most of the other reviews. I’ve played cooking fever for years, so I was excited to try this game. It takes entirely too long to accumulate enough fuel to play. Upgrades require a lot of coins and gems, and unless you gain fuel as a prize, which is extremely rare, you aren’t getting more than a out 30 minutes of game play a day. Cooking fever allows for continuous game play, so I don’t really understand why this game doesn’t have that feature as well. My patience is already wearing thin, and I’ve only unlocked 3 airports.
Pay to Play
Wed Sep 29 2021 LeenonymousThe game is fun, but very expensive to play. Each level requires a certain amount of fuel. Your fuel bar maxes out at 50. Right now I earn 1 fuel point per 12 minutes. Most levels cost 10 fuel points to play. That’s two hrs to play 1 level. So, as you can see, this isn’t a game you can really sit down and enjoy. They should either charge for a full version of the app, or increase the fuel tank size, or lower the amount of time needed to earn 1 fuel point. As is, this isn’t a game I allow myself to get too caught up in, because it requires too much money. I don’t mind that gems take time to earn. You get them pretty easily just by playing. But gems are needed to upgrade items, so it would be a waste to convert them into fuel points. To be clear, I don’t mind spending some money in game. I’ve spent plenty in Cooking Fever. The developers deserve to be compensated for their work. But this goes past being compensated, and leans more toward oversight or greediness on their part.
Edit: Been playing this for a couple of months now. So far I’ve spent $20 on gems, and that’s where I’ll stop, because it doesn’t get you far. Gems are indeed annoying to procure, so i take back my original comment about them. It’s a bit ridiculous how many items need them when you earn so few. They have $45 bundles for 750 gems, but if I’m paying the equivalent of a video game price, I might as well be getting the entire game gem and oil free.
I suggest not getting sucked in to this game.
The fuel
Sat Apr 03 2021 SnyborI found this game from my favorite YouTuber Ssniperwolf in March 18th and I decided to check it out. I loved it!...at first. This game was so much fun until I found out about the fuel. I was thinking of deleting it before the fuel happened and now I am probably going to delete it. About what happened with the fuel. So, at first I didn’t need to worry about the fuel. When I started playing more often, nope. But when I unlocked the new airplane it wasn’t a problem. As I was making more progress, it got harder and harder, I kept losing.I didn’t really think that was a problem. But then I realized I had to have fuel for the levels, I didn’t even know that. That might be my fault, but I still don’t know how to earn it. Maybe from completing levels, I don’t know? You have to have like 5 or 10 fuel for some levels. Also, if you don’t have enough fuel for one you can’t do it. Even ones you already did you still have to pay. So, if I go for a 5 fuel one (because I have 9) and lose I can’t do anymore levels! Well, I could pay but I don’t really want to because I might just be wasting my money. But it’s like what?! And I’m probably going to delete it now. But also, it’s kind of stressful to me it least.
Overall nice game but please, please work on the fuel because that’s the problem and I might just keep the app or reinstall it. Thanks for listening.
Daily Bonus
Mon Nov 29 2021 OOF0826I really like this game. However, it wouldn’t let me collect my daily bonus for today. When I first got on, it had a three hour timer so I played for a little bit and then got off. After a couple hours I checked in again and it said I still had thirty minutes left so I played a few levels and then got off again. When I went back to collect my bonus it had two minutes left so I just waited for the timer to finish, but when it got down to zero, it didn’t let me collect the bonus so I got out of the calendar thing where you collect your daily bonus and went back in and it still didn’t let me collect my bonus. After that I got out of the game and got back in to see if that would fix it and instead it restarted the timer for me to collect the bonus and I now have to wait until tomorrow to collect today’s bonus which I wouldn’t be upset about except for today’s bonus was three gems which I need for upgrades within the game. Please do something to fix this issue so it doesn’t happen in the future. I’d easily give five stars if this didn’t happen.

Tue Mar 29 2022 Blade5276Big fan of this game! Allot of the reviews have said whats in my head. So read those reviews as well many of them make valid points. I will however clarify something they do not. You don’t need to pay to win. The game does allow you to advance by earning rewards for simply playing daily or by achieving smiles. But it will take you significantly longer to upgrade. If you have the patients you won’t have to spend any money. I have never ever spent money on mobile games until this past tournament. I love this game and only game I personally deem worthy of my money. I felt I could do well in the tournament Which does require you to pay to rank high. I finished in the top 5. In total I spent about $14 but cut myself off otherwise I would have finished higher lol. But one upside to spending real money the advertisements out and out stopped. (So far) not sure if it will last but Its a breath of fresh air.
The game is fun I love that you can do upgrades even though they need gems. But again you can earn gems with out real money it just takes longer.
Do not waste your time.
Thu Jun 03 2021 bssyldyThis is a fun game to play, but be aware that the more you progress you will start to have to spend your own money to continue playing. Each level costs fuel to play and it starts off not having to use much fuel which are the easier levels. One you keep progressing the levels get harder but not difficult but you start to also have to use way more fuel to play. You don’t win the levels which means to replay you have to use more fuel for the same level. Once all the fuel is gone you have to wait a very long time just to have 1 fuel to be refilled and you need at least 10 to play which means in order to play you have to spend your own money. It’s disappointing because the game has potential. I am going to delete it because I don’t want to spend my own money to play this game and I see I’m not the only one with this issue. The issue it as I was reading other comments like mine I didn’t see that the developers took any time to even acknowledge it so what makes you think we want to give you money when you don’t even respond to our concern? Fix the issue with the fuel or at least give us a chance to earn fuel without having to spend money, but you don’t care right?

Sat Jan 30 2021 LemonhedgesLove cooking fever, by far my favorite game, so when this came out I had to try it. Overall I love it great ideas and put together as I would expect from nordcurrent. Feels like cooking fever. Great job. Fast paced slowly works up each level to multi tasking meals and delivery options. You can play it with out gasoline, however your limited to maybe five times a day. Unless you want to spend money. I like that CF I could play whenever o wanted and this one is limited takes the excitement away. Also my biggest complaint is the bubbles over the passengers heads with the food orders is so very small you can nearly see it to fill the orders. Can you guys please make it bigger? Also most of the time when dragging food to the customer it glitches and won’t deliver items. I feel it’s because the bubbles are to small. If this was fixed I might spend money on the game. I don’t have a problem paying for a great experience Nd this game has all the potential if the correct some things. Worth. Try I am hanging in there to see what you do with it. Soooo much potential! Good job guys I like the new stuff.
Good but why
Thu Feb 15 2024 govertkThe thing is I love the game. It’s fun and entertaining but the problem is gems and coins. Mainly it’s gems. In order to upgrade the ovens to make the time be shorter it needs a specific amount of coins which I have and a specific amount of gems. BUT, I only have 1 gem right now and in order to get more gems you have to collect them when you achieve something or in the daily log in I think it’s called which is stupid to only get gems for those reasons. I can’t achieve anything if I don’t pass the level and with out gems I can’t upgrade anything. That’s what’s so frustrating is the fact that you need gems to upgrade machine and the customers wait time. ITS VERY ANNOYING. Also i was playing the game and the wait time was getting low and there was still time for me to drag the food to the customer and I dragged it to him very fast and APPARENTLY IT DIDN'T GO TO HIM WHEN I SPECIFICALLY DRAGGED IT TO HIM!!!! Anyways, the game is fun but it’s just the things that I stated that are really annoying and unnecessary like gems in order to upgrade things that are important to pass the level.
