Home Master - Cooking & Design 4+

LOVE

I stumbled upon this game and I LOVE IT!! It very quickly became my favorite of all the home design/repair games. I was getting so sick of all those games making you play match-3 jewel games. They get so tiring and boring. And sometimes I’ll get stuck for days to weeks on end because I can’t beat the level. ...... but this game is SO much more fun. I love the cooking game, and personally it’s a lot easier for me than other games have been. I can actually advance through the levels without getting stuck and getting frustrated. I really enjoy it.

The only suggestion I have is that I wish you didn’t have to spin the wheel to earn coins. I wish you just earned the coins playing the cooking game, instead of winning energies and then having to trade them out. I feel like I spend a lot of time going to that wheel and watching it spin to get coins. I would be happy if they took that part out.

But otherwise I have no complaints! This game is super fun and I have not yet had to spend any of my actual money to play it and progress through.

I like the game, I don’t like the financial model behind games like this.

I enjoyed the game. What I don’t enjoy is the kind of game that tries to nickel and dime you to death on in-game purchases rather than just selling you a game you can play. I think it’s much too easy to give up sums of money that are really high cumulatively, and you don’t know you’re doing it because it’s $.99 here, it’s $8.99 there, $4.99 there. This adds up. I’m also not entirely certain about the financial transaction end of it. I would hope that because it’s an Apple Pay purchase, that the people who run the game are not seeing any of my information, but I don’t know that. I just tried to delete the game and my iPhone is telling me that it’s just going to move it to my app closet; maybe I can permanently delete it from there. Hopefully. I think that identity theft is too big of a problem to be playing games by unknown makers you can’t locate who are constantly prompting financial transactions with you. I was getting around it, but I’ve gotten to a point in the game where I can’t even get enough customers to go through a level without sitting there and watching videos over and over again. Now it’s become a rip off. Bad plan, bad for business. By the way, I had one purchase come out to eight dollars more than it was supposed to and I haven’t heard from anyone about refunding the difference. I contacted Apple and I contacted the game manufacturer through the game.

Love it! But…

Okay I wanna start this off with how much I enjoy this game. I have been wanting a game that would make a game where you can cook and decorate a place like other games. Which this makes me happy when I found out about this game.

Now that I have got that out of the way here are some things you guys should really start to improve/fix because they’re obnoxious! 🙄 1.) I’ve noticed as I play you guys don’t give enough customers ON PURPOSE which is annoying. Because no matter what power up you use or anything you still fail because you’ve not got enough customers. 2.) Now I have everything fully upgraded as I go and when I play some levels I somehow still don’t get enough money to complete the level even though I have EVERYTHING updated. Which makes absolutely zero sense. Meanwhile after I try again and again it tells me to upgrade my stuff when I can’t because they’re all 3 stars and all upgraded. So how can I complete the level of everything is upgraded? Ironically I can spend real life money to pass of course! No! I don’t mind buy stuff if it’s seasonal and getting gems and spending them on that. But I will not buy crap every single time to pass when I should pass anyway.

You need to fix those two things because they’re annoying as hell. 🙄 until those are fixed you guys are about a 3 star game for me. When they’re fixed you’ll be a 5 star.
