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.

Snack Cattack

I really love this game I find to be fun and engaging it has been a joy to play for me recently and it’s one of the apps I hope to continue to play. I really want all the cats, and I did end up buying the premium and a few other things on here. I really hope the devs read this. I would really like to be able to earn all the event cats and other pets with out paying more money. I feel like having premium is awesome but I do not want to continually spend money on every cute thing. I miss when you could just buy a game and play it to its fullest. I would even spend $50+ to be able to buy the game. I also wish there was more to it. It would be fun to make your own recipes or go on quests for ingredients. I also wish the guest cats had cool backstories, it could be cool to create lore for this game and have it be a background story. I really would enjoy also going on adventures with hero cat, or going on a cruise with vacation cat. I think it would be really cool if you could customize your own character and name them. There is so much more I want! Super game, cute, calming! I think it would also be cool to include different breeds of cats to customize your character with. Maybe even include cat facts. You could build a whole world! I know it’s just an idle game but I wish it was more I love it so much!

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.
