“As for the sad excuse of a story in this game, one can describe it no better than too little butter spread over too much bread.”
“Our heroine Angela herself gets a literal thirty seconds of resolution at the end that doesn't resolve anything, including the entire 'will we, won't we' romantic plot that kicked off almost all events in the game.”

“Cute story about the power of friendship, but lacks the gameplay complexity of other games.”
“My main complaint regards the game's mechanics.”

The humor in the game is generally well-received, with players finding it vivid, funny, and heartwarming. Glitches, such as customers appearing to be possessed, added an unexpected comedic element, enhancing the overall enjoyment. While some feel the humor doesn't quite match that of previous titles in the series, it still contributes positively to the gaming experience.
“The game is also funny and heart-warming, so in the end I thoroughly enjoyed it.”
“So far Angela hasn’t had quite the charm that her sister Emily’s games have attained, (an observation I’m sure Angela would hate, sibling rivalry at its finest!) but she’s funny and fabulous and I can’t say I don’t enjoy her games.”
“But this game tends to glitch a bit (lmao I found it funny when the customers looked like they were getting possessed but it was the glitch) I still think it's a good game that's worth playing even though getting the high score achievement was a pain, but overall pretty fun and fresh.”

Players find that while many achievements in the game are enjoyable to pursue, one particular achievement requiring a total score of 500,000 points necessitates extensive grinding of certain levels, as it is unlikely to be achieved through normal gameplay alone.
“Most of the achievements in the game are fun to get, but one of them demands you score 500,000 points in total; and you are not going to get very near to that when you have played right through the game, which effectively forces you into grinding some levels over and over to get there.”
