Okay
I didn’t exactly have high hopes for this, as its a mobile game for a semi popular manga, but this isn’t it. It’s quite literally just passive gameplay, you watch the cats make the ramen for 2 minutes, doing basically nothing, then tediously upgrade everything at the end of the day. Stories cool, but it’s all in the manga, so nothing new. A ramen mini game for making it or someway to stay occupied during the original 2 minutes would do wonders for the game.

Detailed, but disappointing
As a fan of the anime I was eager to play this game, but I’m disappointed that there really isn’t much to it.
Each round consists of a “day” part and a “night” part. During the day, you spend several minutes passively watching the cats make ramen and serve it to customers. There’s nothing but you to do here, other than scroll around and tap the hearts that appear every now and then.
At night, you spend the day’s income upgrading the boiler, the register, the noodle machine, the refrigerator, and other equipment. Upgrading means tapping on an item and waiting a moment for the game to play a chime. To upgrade an item to level 200, for example, means tapping on it 200 times and waiting a moment between taps. It’s tedious and unrewarding.
Upgrading equipment will raise the level of your restaurant, which unlocks more equipment and also plays cute little still-frame fully-voiced bits of story from the anime. But if you’ve already watched the anime, there’s nothing new here.
There’s a gatcha game where you can use a few free tokens (or pay money for more) to unlock decor which you can then place. There’s also a puzzle minigame which requires you to put together a jigsaw puzzle really fast, and a jumping minigame where you need to jump over obstacles in a path while you run faster and faster. Neither one has anything to do with the series, though. There’s a brushing mode that is straight from the anime, but it’s over too quick unless you upgrade your brushes, which might also cost money.
To the game’s credit, the cats are rendered and animated in great detail; they’re really cute to watch, and you can even zoom in on the bowls of ramen to see them better. (I recommend playing this game on an iPad unless you have really good eyesight.) The voice acting is also fun to hear, if repetitive.
But there’s just not enough here to keep my interest, especially when half of the game is just watching cats make ramen all day every day.
