Campfire Cat Cafe 4+

So I’ve been playing this game for 2 weeks now, and it’s such a relaxing game! I feel like a lot of f2p games really limit you to only 5-10 mins of gameplay until you have to spend money, or wait a few hours until you can play for another 5-10 mins. I really love how this game does not push you to spend anything! Of course, there’s still the option to. And honestly I’ll probably end up spending money in the game because I appreciate the devs for making such a great game! It’s not too complicated, and there’s plenty to do, plenty to collect, plenty to save your acorns for! I love that there’s a lot of options to watch ads to double your rewards for tips, flour, treasure hunt, the mini games with special customers. It’s a great free and optional way to advance in the game! If I don’t feel like watching ads, I won’t opt in. But there are some days when I’m trying to rush to get something so I’ll watch ALL the ads anytime I get and it usually gets me what I want pretty fast! So no complaints there.

The art style is beautiful and reminds me of the Studio Ghibli style of anime. I also love the cute themes of the different areas as you upgrade! Everything is pretty attainable.

I will say the story and the dialogue is also cute. I hope Alessia comes back though, I’d be fine with helping her manage the campfire cafe too! I feel like she could make a great addition to the game. She’s the only one missing! Literally 😂

Adorable game! The designs for characters and other assets like the tables and bread buns are super cute! I just got the game so it's still slow going saving up money to expand the menu at the pace customers want, but then again I don't usually play these tapping/management games. I think the main character/restaurant owner's interesting because they seem kind to their workers but negligent in managing his own business. It's an interesting story so far. I appreciate the little special visitors/mini games that come to the restaurant frequently. I think the mail man is my favorite, but then again I've only met Luna once. I'd recommend the game! It has 3 different screens/fronts to start off with (like within your first day of play) so there's lots to look at. I've never had issue opening, closing, or moving from different menus/screens/mini games. No sudden ad cuts, or loudly placed advertisements either. They're optional stuff, and at the beginning at least ad skip tickets are freely given. Ads would give another chance at a mini game, substitute tapping for more customers for a while, or let you do things before you have the resources usually spent to get upgrade material. It seems like an unobtrusive system.

To be clear this is a 5 star game. It’s fun, easy, you choose to see ads or not see ads at all, all the actual gameplay goals are reasonable. It’s nice. I’ve had this game for a while. It’s fun to pop in and do a few things. The storyline is obviously not deep but it’s still nice to have goals. I love that you can mix and match equipment and it won’t affect your bonuses. However, the lest star is because they seem to have stalled on story updates as well as equipment pieces. I have 3 menu items left and 2 item upgrades before I’ll have everything the regular game currency can buy. The story isn’t complete. And I’m sorry but the horrible limited time currency payout for limited time events is abysmal so doesn’t me specifically want to open the app. Plus since it resets at the end of event you can’t even make a goal to build up enough for the most expensive prizes over the course of multiple event runs. You HAVE to pay real money if you want to get the high price items from an event and that just doesn’t entice me to keep playing. Honestly I hope they update this game soon with the rest of the story and another set of furniture and menu items to keep life in this game cause otherwise I will say it has run its course for me. But even if that happens, it was a very fun game for a very long time and I can’t be too upset with it.
