While I do rate games, it’s not often I write a review, but I thought it was important here. This is definitely in my top three of cooking games EVER! Yes, it is hard and if you are not looking for a serious challenge, this is not the game for you. I see that many other players were tough on their reviews stating that you HAVE to spend money to play this game. I do not think that is true. I will say that some levels I did have to play for days, but eventually I did beat it, while others, I just wanted to be done with and spent the 6 in game dollars to get through. I feel that there are many cooking games out there that basically beg us to spend real money, so lumping this one in there seems like an easy jump. In my opinion, the developers put it in place as merely an option.With that said, to the developers, I would like to request one thing. To players like myself that don’t maintain a large Facebook presence or have friends that play games...is it possible to do what many of the other games do? Recommend friends inside the game every “so-many” hours so we could exchange/send premium items? This way people that actually play the game could become friends with one another?Thanks so much and to those struggling, just keep practicing, replaying the levels and saving your bucks if you don’t want to spend real money. :)

**UPDATED!!!**Since my last review my opinion has changed due to how they made up for the issues I had. I ended up getting my game restored and they compensated me for what all happened. I do love this game very, very much! I have been passed every level and always end up checking for updates continuously when waiting for new levels. I love the updates they have made with getting dollars and the mini game levels to get even more money to use. This game used to be a money pit, but they have made it to where I don’t have to spend as much money like before. I love cooking games and this one is by far the best one and the only one I have played without getting burnt out! Okay, so... First off I absolutely love this game, or at least I did... I have spent so much money on this game and had made it through to where I was waiting on new levels. I opened the game to see if they had been posted yet, only to realize it has taken me all the way back to the beginning and everything I have done/finished is gone!!!!! I’ve had to wait on new levels about 3 or 4 times now and I have never had this happen.... I am furious!!!!

I like the premise of the game. The graphics are better than the original. But the game crashes a lot. It's also slow. The game freezes a lot while I'm playing, which is annoying. When it crashes you lose energy. It takes forever to earn cash. You can only get 1 cash a day by watching ads, and sometimes the ads don't work and you have to restart the game. The thief is cheap and has stolen things out of my hands. Food should be safe if it's in your hand or in the holding tray. The Groot customer leaves before his happiness goes all the way down. He leaves even while you're handing him food or he takes away a customer you just gave food to. The scientist makes things so slow and there's no way to placate him. It shouldn't slow down equipment as much as it does, which seems to be about 3-4 times slower. The equipment is inexplicably slower in the challenge rounds. I like a challenge, but these obstacles make some rounds impossible. This does not make me want to play or pay for this game. Contacting tech support does nothing. in round 603, either not enough customers order the dish or I don't make enough money, even with a premium ingredient. I had 6/8 order the particular dish and the last two orders were for the dish needed to advance. I thought I would finally beat the level, because 6+2=8, right? Not in this game. It said I only served 7/8 of the required dish. That's why I'm giving it 1 star.

Hello, I’ve been playing this game for a while and its fun, but it’s starting to scam me. I have paid for the powerups and they have not been working. So much so that I keep losing levels and I run out of the recommended powerups because they are not working. For ex: I paid for a kit that came with the super speed cook powerup, but when I play, the appliances still cook like regular. nothing is sped up and I end up losing over and over. that’s not right for me to spend actual money and nothing I buy is working. Update: powerups still not working, been struggling to pass levels, I see an update but if it doesn’t help the issues I’m having, I’m going to delete this game and cancel the subscription. Fun game but come on with these bugs. I’ve wasted so much money just for this stuff not to work. I’m on map 10Update: nothing has been done and my powerups are still not working and I continue to lose levels. I have decided to finally cancel my subscription and uninstall the game after almost 2 years of playing. I love this game but the bugs are unbearable
