To the developers, pls don’t give up on this game! Also they’re not ad-crazy which i love & i hope they don't change that. 10/10 recommend ☻ ### 5/5 — Cafe Tycoon *2022-11-07, version 2.0* Verry good ### 3/5 — Slower than other games *2022-10-28, version 2.0* The pacing of the game is slow but I guess that adds to the relaxing factor. The frustrating thing is I enter the game and before I can even see the game load, an AD instantly plays. I understand you need to earn but I wish the ads were places appropriately. ### 2/5 — Disturbing *2022-10-15, version 2.0* I hear someone calling for help in the game and it’s disturbing ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Definitely not a great game! *2025-05-31* I’ve been playing for 3 days, and I’ve realized that if you want to be even a slight bit of decency you have to pay money! This is super stupid, because most people like to win for fun, but with this game it doesn’t work because people pay money to beat you! Like one of the packs gives you instant 10B money IN A GAME for $50 in real money! It’s such a scam! But there are a few good things about the game……. Like you earn money quickly by keeping your finger on the screen, but you can also buy auto clicking permanent for $7! It’s also a scam! This game is so bad I can’t even finish talking about something good without saying something bad about it! ### 1/5 — Boring *2024-11-15, version 2.2.4* Boring. I don’t like the tapping part. Tapping for a long time to get money. You should just be able to tap once to receive or get the money it’s not as exciting as they claimed. ### 1/5 — Ads *2024-03-18, version 2.2.4* I wonder if it’s just me But I pay to remove ads but it’s still there Smhhh ### 1/5 — Must watch ad before starting game *2024-02-29, version 2.2.4* You must be very patient cause it’s gonna take a long time to buy anything without spending money on this game. ### 1/5 — Ads *2024-02-08, version 2.2.4* Ads.. just to go in the game? Everything is too expensive… delete…. Would never download this game ever ### 1/5 — REKLAM REKLAM REKLAM *2023-12-17, version 2.0* Oyunu açınca bile reklamla başlıyor. Sinirden siliyorum!! ### 1/5 — The WORST *2023-01-26, version 2.0* Soo boring. Nothing to do except tap tap tap… ### 1/5 — MEMORY LOST DON’T PLAY *2022-07-31* I played the game for approximately 4 hours within a day. I left the app and went to do other things. When I returned after 3 hours, all my game play is gone. Nothing left. No memory or anything. It’s quite annoying, so I decided to leave this review and delete the app. After reading some of the other reviews, seems like this is a common problem amongst plenty of users. Be warned. If you decide to play, don’t purchase anything on the app nor spend a mass amount of time on it. Better yet, don’t download the app unless you don’t mind your time and gameplay being wasted. ### 1/5 — CAN’T ZOOM! *2022-07-09, version 1.11.4* The sheer fact you can’t zoom pisses me off ### 1/5 — Unplayable *2022-04-07, version 1.11.4* I thought it would auto save. It does not. I thought maybe it’d have a save button. I cannot find one. Why would anyone want to restart over and over and over again? This game is so poorly designed, it hurts. It looked like such a nice game, so it’s a shame the developers didn’t even bother to spend any time on it past aesthetics. Trash. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best game ever but a little weird *2025-10-12* This is my vary first review and you made it the best i love this game i will tell all my friends to play this game it’s just I really don’t like that they go super sautés y do they go like angered ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2025-08-09, version 2.2.4* This is my vary first review and you made it the best i love this game i will tell all my friends to play this game ### 5/5 — This is so good! *2024-09-01, version 2.2.4* I’ve been literally playing for almost 3 hrs straight.
