Cat Snack Bar: Food Games 4+

Solid idle game with cute cats

I’ve been playing this one hard for a few weeks now, and it’s got a solid progression curve that allows for some meaningful daily play time. In-game events are frequent, which is nice for variety, and they offer a microtrabsaction to remove ads, which I find necessary in all games nowadays.

I have paid into some of the other microtransactions as well just for the convenience of having a little bit of extra resource. That said, the game can be a bit pushy about certain transactions (usually the ones below $5), so if you’ve got little kids or poor impulse control, this might not be the best choice for you.

Coins are your baseline in-game currency, which you cannot buy directly and form the base economy of the game, and gems are your next tier which you can buy directly. That said, the gems and coins are, in most cases, used to purchase different kinds of things, meaning this is much less like the obfuscation in-game currency causes in games like Genshin Impact and much more this game having just two economic systems running at once in the game’s core loop, The game is also very generous with its gems, so while i have purchased some (as a game dev, i like to make sure my fellow devs get paid, haha), it’s never felt *necessary* to do so. I find that’s unfortunately rare in most games so it’s very nice that in this case it really feels like an option i have, rather than an “”””option”””” i have.

My Favorite 🤩

Update: I still love this game but noticed they updated and limited how many premium ads you can watch in a day. I’m not much for watching these ads myself. But I feel if a player wanted to watch them whenever they popped up, they should be allowed to. I’m not a fan of this new limitation.

I’m going to try to keep this short but I probably won’t. Anyways, here’s why I love this game: The developers actually listen to their players. When we have a complaint they are VERY quick to adjust things. Whether it’s bugs or difficulty or anything else, it’s always fixed in a timely manner. They are continually adding new events. Because of this I’ve been able to play for months and it still has my attention. I still play multiple times per day, too. This is impressive because I have ADHD. My favorite event has been the most recent one with the mini game. I love that the game is still playable without paying. However, I have purchased ad removal and it was worth the money. My niece also loves this game. It’s her 1st stop whenever she plays on my phone. She loves it so much she asked to download it on her tablet to play at home. I didn’t do a good job of keeping it short, but this game really does deserve a great review. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would. ⭐️

Insanely fun despite ad glitch

Absolutely love this game. The consistent running of the event means that you always have something to work on, even if you’re getting tired of the main line. I love being able to go back and forth, and this is one of the few games that I will actually hunt out opportunities to watch ads for rewards.

I will say, ever since the most recent update (that added a lot of nice changes!) I have been consistently experiencing a glitch where you will choose to watch an ad for coin or gem rewards, successfully watch the ad, but when you finish the ad you will be told “sorry, couldn’t find any ads” or something to that effect and you will have to quickly choose to watch ANOTHER ad if you want to get the rewards, despite having already watching an ad for the reward. At first it was just occasional, which was annoying but not super distracting, but after playing for a few hours straight I’m at the point where almost every ad reward encounters this error. I’m not sure if the team is aware of this, but if you’re just now seeing this is happening—please patch a fix! I know I’m not the only one having this issue—I reached out to my sibling who also plays, and they’ve been having the same problem ever since the recent update.

So, overall, super super fun! Just hoping to see a fix for this, since it’s been a few weeks now.
