Campfire Cooking 4+

Delicious

This is top shelf stuff. The level of challenge is just right for a casual game. I rarely became frustrated with the puzzles but they’re tricky enough to give you a sense of accomplishment (or relief) when you figure them out. The graphics are clean and attractive. Don’t expect much from the storyline. There’s not even a story, just some genial interludes between puzzles.

The controls are generally excellent, although it can be frustrating to rotate the skewers at certain parts of the screen, like the upper left. You have to hold your finger at juuuust the right spot. I like that the graphics are BIG and easy to tap. On an iPad you could probably play this wearing boxing gloves.

Very Fun and Unique

I'm not typically one to review iOS apps, since I usually have some issue with them. However, in a sea of Candy Crush clones, duplicate merge games, and ad-riddled "Idle" games, Campfire Cooking stands out.

At first, I thought it was just another low-effort puzzle game, but the way that you interact with the puzzles is fun and conveyed very clearly in each level. A couple of levels have forced me to completely rethink how the pieces need to work together, and it reaches you new tricks organically.

I also want to make note that the game has an "undo" button so you don't have to restart the level every time you make a mistake, which is a huge breath of fresh air in a time when every app wants you to press restart so it can feed you another ad.

In this day and age of forced-wait ad shovelware, I highly recommend giving this one a try!

Fun and challenging puzzle

I like the concept of this game and I can see myself spending a lot of time on it. But one thing that is already so annoying just 15 minutes in is that on iPhone X I keep accidentally swiping to go home when I’m trying to rotate a wooden stick. Not sure how to fix this.

Edit: the latest update fixed my issue. Adjusted review to 5 stars partially due to the fix, but mostly due to the developer communication and engagement with the users.

Developer Response ,

Edit: I've updated the game to 1.0.4, this version should fix your issue! It will now take a couple of swipes to activate the home button. It should be a lot harder to accidentally close the app. Let me know if this helps :)

Thanks for the feedback! I'm working on an update to help address this issue at the moment. I'll edit this response when it's live. Cheers, Layton.
