“In-app purchases are available but not in your face.”
“Decently fun game, no real need for in-game purchases.”
“Very fun game, no ads.”
“The game is literally just an ad; basically, you'll be seeing more ads than gameplay. It gets boring after like 5 minutes of playing it; it's repetitive and the only thing that makes it different from these tycoon games is they try to make it edgy. Would not recommend it.”
“You can't go anywhere in the game without watching a dozen ads.”
“Good game at first, very addicting, but then you find out that you need to watch 14 or more ads to get anywhere, and they put staff members behind an actual paywall.”

“Amazing and addictive gameplay!!!!!”
“The art and humor amused me but there was no strategy and not much actual gameplay -- build buildings, spam the cash register speed up button, upgrade everything, wait, upgrade everything, wait... build another machine ... the only element that can go against you is that you can unlock customers that you don't have the machine for yet, and they get pissed you don't have their food -- but then you can just kick them out.”
“The game looked promising at first, but after 30 minutes of gameplay you already done what the game has.”
“This game is literally just an ad basically you'll be seeing more ads than gameplay it gets boring after like 5 minutes of playing it it's repetitive and the only thing that makes it different from these tycoon games is they try to make it edgy would not recommend it.”
