### 5/5 — 6 years in and still loving it!!

*2026-08-27, version 12.30*

i’ve had this game since the covid lockdown and honestly it’s such a fun, relaxing casual game to have on my phone. it’s one of the few games out there that isn’t pay to play/pay to win, you can grind or idle your way through what you want and it doesn’t take away from the experience. to be honest though with how cute this game is and how it’s been around so long without the devs ruining it with gacha/ptp/ptw tactics, i may as well grab a couple packs
soon to show my love and support. thank you animal restaurant for being so uniquely you, and for staying true to your loyal players!!! <3
