I don’t know if anyone is still updating this game but it has a lot of potential and I enjoy the art style and gameplay loop. However sometimes after j complete a level the app will crash on me, or it will load until 60 percent and get stuck there until I restart my phone. Hope these bugs will be fixed. Thanks ! ### 4/5 — Hơi nhiều quảng cáo :)))) *2023-08-08, version 0.6.7* Đồ họa xinh cực mng nữa là hơi nhiều quảng cáo nhá hí hí hí hí hí hí hí hí hí hí hí hí hí hí nói chung tui là ng hướng ngoại nên tui cười hơi nhìu hí hí hí hí hí hí hí hí hí hí hí hí hí hí :)))))))))))))))))))) ### 4/5 — LOG INN SNSNDGSJSB *2023-01-25, version 0.6.5* over all bagus bgt ya karakternya lucuuuu bgt cuma knp sy log in apple id pasti selalu stuck pdhl jaringan jg lancar ### 2/5 — Haizzz *2022-12-18, version 0.6.5* Game cũng OK đồ họa ổn nhưng sao lại bị lỗi k cho vào chơi :< ### 3/5 — Lots of potential *2022-11-21, version 0.6.5* I love the idea of this game cooking aesthetic meets cozy anime. It worked fine when I first played but now I can’t go in it anymore. Everytime I do it’s just a black screen. I refreshed, redownloaded, restarted my phone, etc nothing worked. I thought it was my wifi at first, but every other app was fine. It was just this one. I’m sad I won’t be able to continue playing. I hope this gets fixed soon. I’ll just have it in one of my background games until it’s fixed. I’ll update this review if it is. Update!: If you keep running into black screen. Turn off game notifications in your phone settings for the game. It worked! I’m back in ### 3/5 — Keeps crashing *2022-10-25, version 0.6.4* I really like this game, it’s cute and fun. It ran really smoothly until it started crashing when I try to load it up, all I get is a black screen for a while and then it kicks me out. I’m really disappointed since I had enjoyed playing the game up to that point. Please let me know when you repair this issue so that I can hopefully play the rest of this game! ### 2/5 — เล่นไม่ได้ *2022-10-19, version 0.6.3* กดได้ทุกอย่าง ยกเว้นกดเล่นเกม กดไม่ได้ ### 4/5 — facebook 登不了 *2022-10-01, version 0.6.1* 作者 更新之后 fb登不上了 修复一下吧拜托了 ### 4/5 — HELP ME *2022-08-31, version 0.5.4* it’s a very awesome game BUT it’s hella difficult/barely has any chances to get diamonds for upgrading my stuff. I really want to play it endlessly but i stucked ### 1/5 — NOT FREE TO PLAY *2022-08-23, version 0.5.4* all of the bad reviews here are regarding the bug and how it crashes as soon as it opens but another thing that makes this game unenjoyable is the fact that it is impossible to proceed further when you’re halfway at the nasi goreng stall without spending real money for the diamonds. For all of the constant crashing, there should be diamond compensation so that this game is truly free to play like so many other similar games. The upgrades should not be so expensive until the players have no choice but to use real money. ### 1/5 — Black screen *2022-08-17, version 0.5.4* Log in issue, can’t play, stuck at the black screen pls fix it i really enjoy this game ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Như l *2025-09-27, version 0.6.8* Game cho chó chơi ### 1/5 — 无语 *2024-12-21, version 0.6.8* 打不开游戏啊 ### 1/5 — Doesn’t let me enter app *2024-02-20, version 0.6.8* It’s been 4 month and it still doesn’t let me enter app :( ### 1/5 — Cannot play game *2023-06-21, version 0.6.7* Cannot log in game via facebook account. ### 1/5 — after update new version cant play *2023-04-26, version 0.6.9.9* after update new version cant play Very disappointed ### 1/5 — Game cũng dễ thương *2023-02-19, version 0.6.5* NHƯNG một số màn cần xì kim cương để qua, 50 kc nhé.

I didn’t really expect anything new from this kind of genre, but somehow with the artwork, gameplay, and the challenges within this game works together rather nicely.
