I’ve been enjoying the game quite a bit! I never played the game prior to it being on apple arcade and I really like it; however, there are different things that will need fixed and tuned. The tong feature doesn’t exist despite me purchasing it. I also think diamonds need to be restructured given that you can’t watch ads to get diamonds like you can with the non apple arcade version. (found out through reading the subreddit and wiki that that’s a thing). Either need to make the buddies less diamonds or make ways to get diamonds easier. Otherwise, I think it’s a really sweet game that challenges a lady who already works in the service industry. Oddly kind of accurate to the way some people order.

Please fix the bugs. The most ridiculous one is the fact that the tongs NEVER SHOWED UP. I bought them as soon as they were available, I’ve updated the game every time an update is available, I’ve tried on different devices, and they just aren’t there. What’s more, when I tried to contact customer service about it, I was unable to provide a tapblaze account number to associate with the game because there isn’t a way to login to your tapblaze account in this version, so I just never got a response. This is despite the fact that I explained this exact issue in my email to customer service.I also just want to reiterate what others have said about the subpar experience in this version, specifically how hard it is to earn gems. I’m on game day 109 and I have almost no upgrades because I can’t afford them. Really, there’s no reason to even have two forms of in-game currency in an Apple Arcade game. You only have the gems in the original version to incentivize us to either make in-game purchases or watch ads since that increases your real-life revenue, but that’s irrelevant here, so just switch everything to the in-game cash. If that’s too burdensome in terms of coding, then at least reduce the prices for gem-based purchases.

I was genuinely excited to try the arcade version — and I still think it has real potential. But right now, earning diamonds feels nearly impossible unless you have an unrealistic amount of time to dedicate to grinding. Meanwhile, the costs of actually upgrading and progressing in the game don’t reflect how hard those diamonds are to come by.It gets discouraging fast. I want to enjoy this version — I prefer this version — but when progress feels out of reach, the fun drains pretty quickly.Either lower the cost of items or find a better way to reward players with diamonds. It’s not a complicated fix, and based on the other reviews piling up, the developers need to hear this sooner rather than later.We’re not asking for much. Just make it feel worth it.⭐⭐⭐ — love the format, just needs better balance.

I am deeply disappointed with the Arcade version of Good Pizza. As a paid subscription service, Arcade is supposed to offer a premium experience. Instead, this version feels like a lazy port that punishes the player.Here are the glaring issues that make this game a miserable experience.1. Gem StarvationRemoving in-app purchases without balancing the economy is a joke. Rewarding a measly 1 gem per achievement means I would have to grind for a month or two just to afford basic upgrades. Is this how you treat Arcade subscribers? It feels like an insult to our time and money.2. GlitchWhere is the "Undo" tongs upgrade? I bought it, yet it has never once appeared on my prep table. 3.Incomplete Recipe BookToo many special orders are missing from the in-game manual. I shouldn't have to keep a real notebook or constantly annoy customers by asking "What?" just to guess an unlisted recipe.4.The Math Kid's Homework is a NightmareThe kid’s math homework orders are ridiculously cryptic. If I fail once, the game should provide the correct answer. Forcing players to restart and replay the exact same day 10 times in a row just to find the solution—and still fail—is terrible game design and entirely anti-fun.This version desperately needs a rebalance and major bug fixes. Until Arcade players are treated with respect, save your time and skip this.
