  • monetization
    144 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the reliance on ads and in-app purchases to progress. While some appreciate the lack of forced ads and the option to watch ads for rewards, others feel that the game is designed to push players towards spending real money due to high upgrade costs and insufficient coin rewards. Additionally, there are complaints about misleading advertisements that do not accurately represent the gameplay, contributing to a sense of dissatisfaction among users.

    • “Cool mini games so you're kinda getting multiple games in one, and there are no ads save what you volunteer to watch for rewards.”
    • “The games give a lot of free stuff and no ads, which is a plus.”
    • “No ads great game highly recommend”
    • “The game is a lot of fun, addictive and challenging; however, unless you want to spend a lot of real money to get coins that will only help you pass maybe two levels if you're lucky, you have to be prepared to fail a level continuously and watch ads to get extra coins, since you get next to nothing for failing a level.”
    • “It's a good game, but without watching ads or making purchases, it's impossible to complete certain levels within the limits of the level, because you need to buy upgrades that are usually over 1000 coins when you earn like 300-500 per level.”
    • “The ads are very far from the game, and the gameplay is different from what was advertised, which is frankly deceptive; it's basically a fraud.”
  • graphics
    31 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the graphics in the game receive a mixed response from users, with many praising the visuals as cute, smooth, and appealing, while others express disappointment over inconsistencies between promotional images and actual gameplay.

Despite these critiques, the general consensus leans towards a positive appreciation of the game's aesthetic quality.

    • “The graphics are super nice and cute too.”
    • “The graphics are nice and all but the most disappointing thing is the coins that we earn from levels are not enough for upgrades.”
    • “It is a very beautiful and fun game, the graphics are very beautiful.”
    • “There are no 3D elements in making the foods; it just clicks and you watch stuff happen in 2D visuals.”
    • “There are many similar games like this, but this one is not just frustrating; it also has very bad graphics and decorations.”
    • “Graphic and picture are totally different from what is shown on the Play Store.”
  • gameplay
    29 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of the game has been widely criticized for not matching the advertisements, with many users expressing frustration over misleading visuals and mechanics that differ significantly from what was promoted. While some players find the core mechanics enjoyable and the game has potential, the deceptive advertising and frustrating gameplay elements, such as increasing service times that encourage in-game purchases, detract from the overall experience. Despite these issues, a few users appreciate the unique aspects and balance of ads versus gameplay, indicating that there is still some enjoyment to be found.

    • “This game had potential—it’s cute, the mechanics are solid, and I was actually enjoying the grind.”

    • “Gameplay isn't at all what is advertised.”
    • “Not only it's nothing like the ads show, which is sadly common in mobile gaming, but also it's nothing like the gameplay images on the game page in the Play Store, which is frankly deceptive; it's basically a fraud.”
    • “The gameplay they advertise and is probably the reason you downloaded the game is a mini game and a very small part of the actual game.”
  • stability
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is a significant issue, with frequent freezes and glitches reported by users, particularly after level 40. These problems often disrupt gameplay, causing players to lose progress and necessitating game restarts. While the game is enjoyable, the stability issues detract from the overall experience and require urgent attention.

    • “The game glitches out all the time and messes up the task list, which causes you to lose stars and progress on a level.”
    • “However, it freezes a lot and then crashes.”
    • “I've almost passed my stage 3 times and all 3 times failed due to me having to close the game after it freezes.”
  • grinding
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game excessively tedious, often leading to frustration as progress halts after initial levels. Many feel that without spending real money, they are stuck in a repetitive cycle of playing the same levels for minimal rewards, making the experience feel like an endless grind. Additionally, the reliance on ads for progression further exacerbates the issue, leaving some players feeling trapped and annoyed.

    • “So I've gotten pretty bored with it; it's too grindy for a phone game.”
    • “That being said, after the first restaurant, the game progress comes to a grinding halt.”
    • “I can't even play anymore because once you spend all your money and gems and are at a level that requires certain upgrades in order to pass, you're just stuck, playing the same level over and over for minimal coins, which makes it tedious and annoying.”
