Cooking Craze: Restaurant Game 4+

I am updating my review because I have run into another problem. I am in Spain, on the last restaurant, and every time I go to add lemons to the paella or serve a drink, it won’t work. It is extremely frustrating. It makes me lose levels I would otherwise easily win. This is not acceptable. It is not my device. My iPad works on every other level and food item. Please fix this or I won’t be able to play anymore.

Ever since I have gotten a surplus of spoons the game has done everything it can to make me spend them. Trying to trick people in to spending their hard earned spoons is despicable. The game does not do these tricks when you are low on spoons. Only when you have an abundance. There was a pop up telling me that I had an upgrade for a kitchen product and I had no choice but to accept. Stealing 300 of my spoons. You also don’t have the option of watching an ad to gain a new life if you have spoons. Why should I be punished for earning spoons or in this case actually purchasing them? When you are trying to trick me I don’t feel inclined to spend more money on spoons. Quite the opposite actually. I will never spend another dime on this game. Had I actually gone through my spoons on my own and felt like I was still in control , I might consider contributing to your game, because I am getting entertainment out of it. But I have no desire to be tricked out of my hard earned money.

I gotta say, this is my absolute favorite game I’ve ever downloaded on the App Store. It’s super fun and addictive. I appreciate all the details they put into every country and the different ways to cook the foods and the ability to earn boosts / spoons in a way that I think is fair. Other games I’ve played pretty much force a player to pay but I’ve never really felt that with this game. You just have to be patient and keep plugging away at the levels or the weekly challenges to earn those extra boosts. Personally I’ve never had too many issues with it, sometimes it does freeze but very rarely for me and it’s usually if I lost a level. It does glitch out on occasion where if I use a boost and then lose, the next time I try that level or any other level I’ve lost, my boost will reactivate. Sooo I guess I’m not really complaining about that glitch as much lol. I will say that the levels where you have to make a certain amount of money can be a little annoying / frustrating but I usually wait until I either have infinite lives so I can keep trying to beat that level or play extra shifts to earn enough money to upgrade my stuff so that I can earn more money. I think the thing I appreciate the most about this game are the weekly challenges, they are so fun and keep the game interesting for me, especially since I’m still only in Rome at the moment. So thank you to the creators for making such a fun game and continually adding updates!

This game is the only one I’ve found that keeps your interest. Just when you start to get bored, you end up in a new city and have to start fresh and new! Most games get boring because they become too easy over time, but in Cooking Craze, you’re always being challenged in new cities, and it keeps things interesting because there’s no chance to become bored with it! (until you’re in the last city for a year waiting for a new one to be released).

The only 2 improvements I can suggest are (1) to add the “Go!” button back for the serve streaks. Once you’re in the last city, the levels for the streaks are random all over the city, and that button used to take me straight to the next level. Now I have to scroll around till I find the blue one. Honestly, it only takes a few seconds more, but that button is quite convenient when you’ve been on the last city since Tbilisi was the last city. The other improvement suggestion would be (2) the option to turn OFF boosts. For instance, say I just won an event and have an hour of the booster where the dishes are automatically served to customers. Now I’m on a combo level and can’t time my combos correctly because the dishes keep getting served before I’m ready so I can’t make combos like I need to in order to beat the level.
