I’ve been playing this one hard for a few weeks now, and it’s got a solid progression curve that allows for some meaningful daily play time. In-game events are frequent, which is nice for variety, and they offer a microtrabsaction to remove ads, which I find necessary in all games nowadays. I have paid into some of the other microtransactions as well just for the convenience of having a little bit of extra resource. That said, the game can be a bit pushy about certain transactions (usually the ones below $5), so if you’ve got little kids or poor impulse control, this might not be the best choice for you.Coins are your baseline in-game currency, which you cannot buy directly and form the base economy of the game, and gems are your next tier which you can buy directly. That said, the gems and coins are, in most cases, used to purchase different kinds of things, meaning this is much less like the obfuscation in-game currency causes in games like Genshin Impact and much more this game having just two economic systems running at once in the game’s core loop, The game is also very generous with its gems, so while i have purchased some (as a game dev, i like to make sure my fellow devs get paid, haha), it’s never felt *necessary* to do so. I find that’s unfortunately rare in most games so it’s very nice that in this case it really feels like an option i have, rather than an “”””option”””” i have.

I really love this game I find to be fun and engaging it has been a joy to play for me recently and it’s one of the apps I hope to continue to play. I really want all the cats, and I did end up buying the premium and a few other things on here. I really hope the devs read this. I would really like to be able to earn all the event cats and other pets with out paying more money. I feel like having premium is awesome but I do not want to continually spend money on every cute thing. I miss when you could just buy a game and play it to its fullest. I would even spend $50+ to be able to buy the game. I also wish there was more to it. It would be fun to make your own recipes or go on quests for ingredients. I also wish the guest cats had cool backstories, it could be cool to create lore for this game and have it be a background story. I really would enjoy also going on adventures with hero cat, or going on a cruise with vacation cat. I think it would be really cool if you could customize your own character and name them. There is so much more I want! Super game, cute, calming! I think it would also be cool to include different breeds of cats to customize your character with. Maybe even include cat facts. You could build a whole world! I know it’s just an idle game but I wish it was more I love it so much!

After the newest update they have since removed a free passive ability you can use approx every 30 mins or so. In which you pick a popular item and most customers order that. This 5 min free boost was extremely useful depending on your timing and how you use it, so removing it was a really strange choice in my opinion. It's my whole reason for the review, kinda ruins the game for me a bit. It's still cute and fun though, and I don't even like cats. 🤷🏽Edit: They have since added a new section to the UI where you can watch ads to run a promotion for 100% speed on all functions, and pay gems for other things, or access your free power ups. And then a while later they finally added back the promotional item, which you can do every 10 mins for 5 mins. I don't know why they didn't have their new UI hub figured out before getting rid of features but I guess it's nice we have more choices now?Overall the game is cute and it's a good time waster. But they do try to get way too many micro transactions out of you. No reason you should have to pay an individual 5 dollars for each area when they're all basically the same level with a different skin. Maybe a big $20 dollar pass, or being cheaper, but 5+ dollars for each there being over 12 levels now is already $50. Once I bought one and found out they were just for that individual level, I swore off on spending money for the game. I'll still play casually to waste time though, just don't forget they're ultimately still here to make money! Just watch ads it's free and can get most of what you need that way!

Hi, this game is awesome, but there’s a few problems. To start, coin offers ( in which you have to watch an ad to get) would pop up next to upgrade buttons for my work stations. Especially in the mermaid event. Also, when I have no internet, and I click on an ad pop up, I have to reload the game because I am stuck on a loading screen. It is extremely annoying. Another glitch is that, on the mermaid event, the rewards I earn from completing a milestone (feeding mermaid), disappear. I would claim it, but when I go back to the regular story mode, the rewards aren’t there. Lastly, it is almost impossible to finish a level in a few days without watching ads to earn boosts and doublers. Oh, and also, when I upgrade my overall restraunt, the gems I get all funnel into a piggy bank. It is really annoying, and I think you guys should just decrease the amount of gems you get per upgrade, for example, 1-2 gems would be fine, as there are lots of upgrades. (There’s also a glitch where it sets my real money currency to a random countries’, for example, when I was in Taiwan, the real money purchases weren’t in NT, they were in Korean won. Overall, this game is fun, especially on the plane when you have nothing to do. The foods look delicious, and there is always something new.
