Over all this is a fun game and I just want to know why that happened and if anyone else had this issue. ### 4/5 — Love it, but not great…yet *2026-08-14, version 2.2.2* I really like the concept of this game. It’s a 3D cooking simulator. A very relaxed, take your time type of game with cute characters, and no repetitive orders; characters or scenes. It’s just very glitchy. After every couple orders it freezes up, or sometimes the graphics are just glitching. Once that’s fixed it’ll be 5 stars from me. ### 4/5 — Love the game but *2026-08-06, version 2.2.2* It definitely needs an update because whenever I mix or put thing into the bowl or plate from the chop board the physics in the game make the food go all over the place or fall very slowly. Please come back developers!! ### 4/5 — 面白いけど… *2026-07-28* 内容は面白いけど、青い四角子がくるとフリーズして進めなくなる… どうかしてー🙏 日本語わかるかな… ### 3/5 — .. *2026-07-22, version 2.2.2* i never passed ice man, he is not eating food!! ### 4/5 — Glitches *2026-07-22, version 2.2.2* This game is very calming and fun. I love the VR style setup allowing you to be in control. This is totally what I was looking for in a cooking game ( I’m a chef lol ) . I appreciate the hands on feel compared to other games where it’s preprogrammed and all you’re doing is clicking. Now for the negatives the game has some glitches when you get to a certain level . I also wish there was more storyline added . I deleted the game for some time because of the glitches so I’m not sure how it is now but hopes this helps. ### 4/5 — Glitch? *2026-07-18, version 2.2.2* I was playing and I got to having around 180 stars. I think this is a fun game but then I got to the ice cube man again, he eats his food and drinks it but then he just freezes. I swiped off the game then got back on. I remade the food but the same thing happened. Then the game just resented itself! I don’t know if it’s a bug or what?! But overall..a nice game ### 3/5 — Bugs *2026-05-30, version 2.2.2* I am playing the game on my iPad and the knife for cutting is on the left side of my screen on the top and when I reset the game in the menu the area with bread disappears ### 3/5 — Great game *2026-05-30, version 2.2.2* Love cooking but once you reach the blocky blue person it won’t let you go any further :( ### 3/5 — Eh *2026-05-24, version 2.2.2* Its such a cute and fun game but there was a level where i had to make chicken for a blue kid and he kept freezing after trying the food and i had to restart the level to the point of resetting the app and starting the whole thing again… ### 3/5 — … *2026-05-21, version 2.2.2* this game is great. but there are soooooo many glitches. it makes me get a bad review from customers which is very unfair please fix it. ### 4/5 — Mmm… one prob *2026-05-14, version 2.2.2* I’ve been trying to figure out how to flip the knife. ### 4/5 — バグ･･･ *2026-05-04* 🟦四角の青い子の鶏肉とパイナップルの料理の所でバグって固まっちゃって出来なくなりました(；；)それ以外は普通に楽しいのでまたアプリ入れ直してやってます!!💖 ### 4/5 — ice man *2026-04-11, version 2.2.2* THE ICE MAN ISNT EATING STILL ### 3/5 — really fun but … *2026-04-06, version 2.2.2* This game is really fun but some recipes just cannot be made correctly which is weird. How do i keep getting 1 stars in stews when i put all the correct ingredients? I’ve tried 4 different ways and it doesn’t work … Maybe we were never meant to stew💔 Also would be great if the food could be less messy when you transfer it from one place to another. Would also be good if you could have food stay in place while you cut it i’m tired of always having to replace my scallions and tomatoes ### 4/5 — Great game but… *2026-03-30, version 2.2.2* I LOVE this game SO much but I think you guys should add more recipes because I’m just making the same stuff over and over at this point! ### 5/5 — Absolutely love this game *2026-03-29, version 2.2.2* Love this game so much found out about it on TikTok I always play it when I am bored and stuck at family gatherings and I wanna go home I just play this game gets me distracted so quick forget were I even am .it’s fun to make the food and serve people you get stars depending on how u food was and there this one girl were I can’t ever get full stars it gets me mad but it’s fun definitely recommend.! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 冰块不吃东西 *2026-09-07, version 2.2.2* 我玩到后面小冰块那里又开始卡bug 一直不走 我重新来了一遍又一遍 又把游戏删掉再下载回来也还是这样子 什么时候能修一下 ### 1/5 — I LOVE THIS GAME BUT THE BLUE REFUSES TO EAT MY FOOD *2026-04-25, version 2.2.2* I hate it especially the water guy ### 1/5 — 没有菜菜在哪里为什么只有一把刀而且这个陀螺仪好难控制 *2026-04-17, version 2.2.2* 没有菜 ### 1/5 — Bocciato, deludente *2025-12-27, version 2.2.2* Provavo a tagliare il bagel e lo tagliava solo a spicchi!
