Lots of fun!!!
Tue Nov 23 2021 Fluffy HaddockI really super enjoy this game! I love the fact that I don’t have to spend so much money on earning diamonds in order to upgrade my kitchen, a few dollars here and a few dollars there to get the things that I need or want to upgrade to, but the game provides 90% of what I need. I love the fact that the game is just hard enough to keep it interesting, but not so hard that I can’t get past levels, which would cause me to delete the game. That happens too often, unfortunately. Thank you so very much for giving us a cooking game that is not only fun and relaxing, but also easy and yet still challenging; as well as, you get to cook, and decorate your town! I really like the fact that the three decorating choices that you give us are good choices. And I also like that the three choices are usually so much different from each other, it doesn’t really matter what your personal taste is, there will probably be something there that you like. And if you wait, there are red ruby options and seasonal games that will give you extra options to choose from as well. Thank you very very much, love love love this game!
A game where you can actually make progress
Thu Mar 10 2022 Stacysauraus🦖I’m not one to leave reviews, but I do really enjoy this game. It’s nice to be able to play a game, and make progress without spending money to advance. Being able to earn diamonds by watching some ads can buy you the 30 seconds of time you need to complete a level you are having trouble with. And you get 10 diamond ads guaranteed a day. And that’s not counting the ones it’s possible to receive by the pop-up ads that you aren’t forced to watch, along with coins, and power ups to help. Daily rewards can also be claimed. It’s the only free game I’ve played where I feel like ads aren’t being forced upon me, but available to help me out, and not make me feel the need to spend money. Such a fun game. Levels get hard enough to keep you playing, but also will throw in some easier levels as you move on to new areas to give you a break. If your a fan of time management games, this one is great!
Game is great, but gets expensive
Tue Sep 20 2022 Elloshare_oThis game is AMAZING and the first few restaurants you’re developing can be developed with close to no money being spent, but I’ve been through several restaurants and it’s close to impossible to clear a level without an upgrade (which unfortunately will cost money if you don’t get any freebies by watching ads). They do reward you for passing so many levels in a row by giving you an upgrade that could last up to 3 days, but you must keep a winning streak to keep the upgrade and again may entice you to spend money. After playing a couple of levels that were extremely hard over and over and over again and coming to the conclusion that I will have to spend money just get past it, I decided to delete the game.
Again this game is really fun, but the levels are just too hard for me now and I don’t wanna spend another dime. Wish it was a little easier. I don’t mind spending money here and there, but spending $1.99 once a day tends to add up and it’s just not worth it to me. Thanks for the awesome couple of weeks of spending little to no money though! ✌🏽
Love this game
Sat Mar 26 2022 jenibluehawkinsI’m totally addicted. There aren’t too many ads, and you can turn them off if you want to, you just won’t get the extra rewards. The game play is fun and challenging, but not impossible. I like all the dialogues in the progressive storyline. They are cute, and odd, and strangely appealing. I like the different restaurant names, and foods too. Only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of five is that I periodically *have to* spend a small amount of money to progress in the game. I don’t mind spending a few dollars on a game I’m enjoying for extras, but I do resent when you can’t advance at all without *having* to pay up. IDK. Maybe if you’re a better player than me, or more patient you wouldn’t have to pay out. Overall though, recommend. I really look forward to playing this game when I relax for the night. It makes me focus on cranking out foods, and forget about all the other chatter in my brain. I’d give it a 4.5 if that were a choice.
Money
Thu Jul 29 2021 Jays spotUpdated response: received a response from developer telling me to join their Facebook group and that you can most definitely excelThe next level without paying for a boost. This is not factual point in case level 53 Dash three you have to prepare 52 meals in less than 60 seconds. This level requires you to make pancakes which means that the pancakes have to be flipped on each side. There is no way to accomplish this goal since majority of the food that is required are pancakes. So in order to complete this level as I stated before you would need to either spin diamonds which you typically pay for because not enough of them are given to be earned or you pay for a boost. I stand by my original review. Although the game is fine all it wants is your money!!!
Previous response: All this game wants to do is take your money. It purposely leave you stuck in certain stages so that you can buy more diamonds in order to move pass a particular area/stage. Do not play this game run. Although it is entertaining and it is very fun it is very draining on your pockets not worth it
Eh :/
Tue Feb 01 2022 icey_bear97Ever since I’ve downloaded this game, I’ve been playing non-stop, upgrading my restaurants, food, and parts of the city. It’s been fun! However, I do have a few issues regarding this game. For example, whenever I finish a level, I’ll get a pop-up asking about buying a bundle pack, and when I close out of it, I’ll get a message from whatever character is on the ad saying, “Are you sure? This deal will be gone forever if you close”, but the pop-up keeps popping back up.
Another issue I have with this game is watching ads to get rewards. I’m not trying to complain about the ads themselves, as I acknowledge that that’s how most games rely on a good portion of their revenue. My problem is having to watch two, sometimes even THREE advertisements when I run out of time on a level. Just watching over a minute, almost two minutes of advertisements for 10 seconds is ridiculous.
I’ll continue to play this game, though, but I do not appreciate being harassed with pop-ups or multiple ads to get one measly thing. Thank You for reading.
Updated App Won’t Load
Sat Apr 09 2022 RcprkfI have been playing this game for over a year now but since the last update and trying to get to the new Spice world the app will not load. It takes forever to ‘initialize’ then when I press ‘play’ it takes forever to load then stops at 98%. I have contacted the developer 3 times via email with snapshots since it is the only way to make contact. I received ONE reply and it said that I needed to check my wifi! Um NO! I am a web designer and my partner works in IT so needless to say we are both quite savvy with our devices and using the internet. I have double checked security, connection and even offloaded the app. I play on an Ipad Pro 2nd Gen 11inch and my device is always up to date. I have spent around $30 total on this game so not being able to play for a month now is a bummer. Maybe the game is rigged to do this to people who STOPPED spending money on the game of which I did! My guess, is a developer will FINALLY respond because of my ONE STAR ranking! Really?!!? OK then fix the issue and give me a lot of coins and blue diamonds to make up for the last month of not being able to play and MAYBE I will change this ranking!!!!
The best of the available games within this genre
Sun May 01 2022 MajorZipfI’ve tried a bunch of these time management/design/casual games and they all escalate in difficulty so quickly you can’t progress without spending tons on “boosts”. This game does have a bit of that but it’s much less than the others I’ve played. I do think it’s a bit more than I would like but it’s tolerable. That said, the less-micro-transactions is replaced with lots of ads. They’re mostly “voluntary” but often end up really needing to watch them to progress in the game. I expect to watch about a dozen commercials if I play for an hour, with the ads being a minimum of 30 - 45 seconds each. But the art style is pretty, the buildings have a wide variety of styles that are fun to customize, the story is even mildly interesting with a villain I’m looking forward to finally kicking out of Dinercity. I’ve played a ton of this lil game.
