This is a very good way to pass the time, I’ll give you that. The main issue is that the game very clearly wants you to “waste” your hearts by putting items in very inconvenient places, making you start over. In the Ratatouille level, for example, how on Earth is anyone supposed to know, intuitively, that you need to tap the rat to get the oil for the pan??Things like salting the potatoes before being able to put them on the grill makes sense, but why would I ever know to swipe in a certain direction without any cues? Seems like a very obvious way to get people to watch ads or purchase hints, as well as more hearts to keep going. The game is cute, but there’s no reason that you should need to put ingredients in the same step in the pan in a specific order. I’m not saying to make the game easy. Just not quite so trick-heavy.

tl:dr, the game mechanics are boring and sometimes inconsistent making it frustrating to complete levels when you have no idea how to cook the dish you’re working with, it has a lot of ads, and is stingy with rewards. but the gameplay loop is fun and the graphics are cute. would be nice if their promo art wasn’t ai though, because it makes me question if ai was used for the actual game as well.it’s a fun, mindless game for when you’re bored. it’s not very imaginative, though, because the game is mostly just “click this, drag that”. it feels like they were going for a cooking mama type thing?? but in cooking mama you could actually DO stuff, in tis game everything is just premade assets you, once again, click and drag to piece together. there’s no consistency in the gameplay mechanics which makes it frustrating at times to figure things out. this is a personal gripe, but when i’ve never cooked the dish we are making, i am obviously not going to know the order of the steps. a recipe system would not ruin the game, it would enhance it. also i suspect ai usage in some of the promo art which is irritating and dampers the enjoyment of an otherwise very cute game. it is fun and i like the wide array of food, it just kind of drives me nuts that we; can’t do anything on your own that would impede or improve your score, get a good handle on the games mechanics because they are always subject change, or get a steady flow of coins because the game is stingy and wants you to literally watch ads to receive the rewards for completing a level? it’s frustrating.

Seconding some other voices that I’m not getting the hate! This was the PERFECT cooking game! The graphics are super consistent and appealing (like the food genuinely looks so delicious lol), and the mechanics of gameplay are—hands down—WAY better than any other similar games. It genuinely gets you feeling involved in the actual cooking process. Ads are present, but definitely only at the start and end of levels, which is entirely reasonable (and honestly, to be expected if you’ve played literally any other mobile games). There was another cooking game that I tried with way better reviews, but one that literally had ads IN THE MIDDLE OF LEVELS. Like for NO reason. And that one somehow has 5 stars on here? Everything else I’ve discussed was also far inferior to this version. Make it make sense. THIS one is a winner, and I’m awaiting the release of the new levels very eagerly, plus the addition of even more not yet previewed in the future! Keep up the amazing work!

I absolutely love this game, I love how every level is different and unique in its own way, some levels even have mini games which is very fun. I especially love the levels where you can actually serve costumers. Some people have complained about the ads, but they don’t interrupt the levels so I don’t mind it. Im nearing the end, so I’m just waiting on more levels. I love the variety of dishes from different cultures. They have American style food, and a lot of Asian dishes, Italian food, some Egyptian foods, and a few Mexican dishes, etc. The diversity is great, but I’ve noticed that in over 80 levels, 80 different dishes, there is not one African dish?? This really upsets me, I love this game but I wish there could be more inclusivity? There are a lot of great African style dishes that could be in this game!! So can the creators include them?!
