Crazy Cooking Star Chef 4+

Great graphics. Music is a little funky but not bad. There some typos if you’re playing in the English language. Otherwise, this game is much more feasible than CookingMadness. It’s not a money grabber, though it can be if you don’t pay attention to what items will get you the farthest in the game. I love the diversity of restaurants! The customers aren’t as demanding as other games. You can update interiors, too. Lots more involved in this game than CookingMadness, which I love. My one complaint is that unlike CookingMadness, the gems in this game are expensive! You’d have to pay $60 to actually get the amount of gems that would make your purchase worth it. That’s a lot of money! I’m not used to paying that much for video games. Fortunately, this game is about financial management too. If you pay attention, you’ll know how to make the levels easier and succeed. Love this game! Definitely recommend!

I give it 4 stars because while it is fun and has just enough challenge to keep you playing, the amount of gems you can earn is pretty low. They ask a lot to upgrade, jumping from 1-10 in the first level (from the lowest to the highest upgrade) to 3-15 per upgrade in the second. As I’ve only opened the first two restaurants I can only hope they don’t continue going up per upgrade in each! I don’t want to spend a bunch of money to be able to play and quite honestly as you get in the higher levels, you NEED gems in order to upgrade or you won’t be able to reach the keys on each level to open the next restaurant. (Or you can pay with a mixture of coins and gems, but with gems so hard to come up with, that’s not really an option unless you want to pay with real money) I did pay to get rid of ads (because they’re relentless! Between each level AND before you can go back to the main menu!) But I bought a gem pack in order to get rid of them. (Any purchase gets rid of ads, which is nice) I just wish we could use in game coins to buy gems, that’d be a nice upgrade! I will probably spend a few more dollars to play this game, as I do like to support the creators of good games! But would love more opportunities to earn/buy gems without spending real money.
I’ll update my review after I’ve been playing for a longer period of time.

I have tried numerous other cooking games but have not stayed with them because it gets harder to acquire diamonds (or jewels) and u need then to advance or you need “boost” to get you through the levels and they cost

This game really does not require you purchase anything, all you need is patience. You have, each day, the ability to earn 10 diamonds and 5000 coins just by watching ads. I was able to gain a significant amount of both from just doing that everyday for a month

You also have daily tasks that can earn you coins & diamonds

You also earn coins for stages completed and by leveling up. The upgrade to kitchen or interior are not at all expensive and you will be able to afford if you just take some time to collect your daily diamonds and coins

Even if you decide to purchase coins, diamonds or desert packs (which I have done on occasion) the price does not seem as steep as other games

And with new restaurants added all the time you don’t get bored and have plenty to choose from

So in conclusion, this is the BEST cooking game I have around and I very happily give it 5 stars
