“The game is a good time to the point i am actually okay with the ads between days.”
“I really want to give this game more stars but i'm literally being punished in-game for glitches that clearly shouldn't be happening and the rewards for the ads are ridiculously small.”

“It starts feeling like an endless cycle where the difficulty is artificially increased by buying new toppings, which makes it more tedious and less fun.”

“I love the story, the character design, and the sound. This game is so simple and cute, but there's one thing that's lacking in this game: ordering characters in Zazoom. I thought it was very difficult with limited time while preparing other customer orders, and sometimes I stop playing because I'm wrong in preparing people's orders.”
