The gameplay is characterized by a relaxing, no-timer approach that allows players to enjoy a variety of cooking mechanics across different planets, with options for both chill and challenging modes. While the mechanics are simple and addictive, some players note a potential for repetitiveness as they become accustomed to the gameplay loop. Overall, the game is praised for its polished execution, cute art style, and engaging custom order mechanics, though some players desire more depth through upgrades and enhancements.
“I love having a game that doesn't put any timer restrictions on my gameplay, and there are so many different planets!”
“The gameplay never gets dull because it's constantly adding new things as you play, such as new ingredients or new ways to serve.”
“The game is very relaxed and lets you get comfortable with the mechanics before overloading you with more.”
“However, these mechanics can start to become a bit repetitive once you've gotten used to the gameplay loop.”
“Although you have to wait until the patty is done, and you can't do anything except just waiting, which is a bad design for non-timed gameplay (for example you can't read the recipe book, because the game pauses).”
“It's all click-and-drag gameplay (more similar to games from the flash site era), and they made the wise choice of giving customers infinite patience on the default difficulty.”

The music in the game is widely praised for its relaxing, mellow electronic vibe that complements the cosmic and cute aesthetic, making it ideal for a chill gaming experience. Many players appreciate the soundtrack's ability to enhance the overall atmosphere, with some even preferring to keep the music on while playing. However, a few critics found the music and setting less appealing, suggesting that it may not suit everyone's taste.
“The music is reminiscent of an old 80's diner with a futuristic twist, just like the game!”
“It has relaxing mellow electronic music that fits appropriately for it being cosmic-themed.”
“Plus, the soundtrack is out of this world!”
“Music and setting (spacey) are not my cup of tea.”
“Though I'd strongly advise you to mute their music and play your own.”
“There really isn't any music or story or really just anything; it's just a cooking game that is quite repetitive and, in my opinion, the economy system is broken.”

Players generally find the game enjoyable and cute, but many criticize it for being excessively grindy, leading to slow progress and repetitive gameplay. While casual players may not mind the grind, those aiming for 100% completion face significant time investment. The grinding aspect can feel tedious, especially when playing solo, and some players express a desire for improvements to reduce the grind.
“Slow progress, repetitive and tedious.”
“Gonna try grinding it out a bit more, but it seems a bit too slow-paced for me, to the point of being a bore.”
“This game is very fun and cute, but it's also extremely grindy. I don't think the grind aspect of the game is a huge deal if you are just playing casually, but if you are playing to 100% it, you're going to be putting a good amount of hours into it just grinding.”

The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its lack of plot, stakes, and progression, making it feel repetitive and simplistic. While some players appreciate its casual nature as a time killer, they express a desire for more engaging content, such as a story mode or space missions. Overall, the absence of a compelling narrative detracts from the experience for many users.
“I'd also be down to play in a story mode... but it being simple as is is also nice!”
“- some UI is done well (recipe book, quest helper, etc), but some parts look pretty bad (dialogues for instance).”
“There's no story progression, or really a difficulty scale per se.”
“Well, there's not much to this game in terms of plot or challenge, but if you're just looking for something to kill a few minutes with, it's ok.”
“There really isn't any music or story or really just anything; it's just a cooking game that is quite repetitive, and in my opinion, the economy system is broken.”

The humor in the game is a standout feature, with players finding joy in the absurdity of client requests, such as a cheeseburger without cheese or a sandwich made entirely of bottom buns. The quirky interactions, cute characters, and the chaos of cooperative play contribute to a fun and hilarious experience, especially when shared with friends. While some early stages may lack challenge, the overall comedic elements and funny scenarios keep players entertained.
“I love the cute robo-cat you have to feed, and how some clients have special requests (5 bottom breads, seriously? And why do they want the top to be grilled, but not the bottom? 5 steaks? Why?) I always find it funny when they ask for a cheeseburger without the cheese, which is in the name.”
“Funny orders (ex: cheeseburger with no cheese, or a bread sandwich that has 7 bottom buns and 1 top bun), cute alien girls, several locations with different difficulties and gimmicks, intensity and pace of cooking is up to you (you can take your time with the orders or challenge yourself to do them quickly and efficiently), a couple different game modes, and more.”
“Anyway, this game is funny; there is a lot to discover.”

The game experiences occasional stability issues, including glitches in co-op mode where players may see different items, and problems with order completion when only drinks are ordered. However, the developers are actively addressing these bugs.
“If the customer only ordered a drink, you cannot complete the order, but it glitches sometimes when it is the second item as well.”
“There are some visual glitches in co-op mode; sometimes I can see food on the table that my friend doesn't see.”
“While the game can be a little buggy, the developers are working hard to iron them out.”

Users appreciate the lack of microtransactions and battle pass systems in this game compared to "Good Pizza, Great Pizza," which has been criticized for its aggressive monetization tactics, including frequent pop-ups and costly DLC for event items. This absence of pushy monetization strategies enhances the overall gaming experience.
“I like this better than Good Pizza, Great Pizza because there's no microtransactions and no battle pass system.”
“I was a long-time player of Good Pizza, Great Pizza, but over the years they got really pushy and overwhelming with microtransactions and tons of pop-ups. They would often say, 'Oh pay $3 to make your oven go faster for the day!' It became pretty impossible to get all the event items, and they would later release them for a ridiculous price as DLC if you didn't manage to get everything.”
“I was a long-time player of gpgp, but over the years they became really pushy and overwhelming with microtransactions and tons of pop-ups. It's frustrating when they say, 'Oh, pay $3 to make your oven go faster for the day!' Additionally, they made it nearly impossible to collect all the event items, only to release them later as DLC for a ridiculous price if you didn't manage to get everything.”
