Loads of fun! Thanks ### 3/5 — conflicted. *2024-06-23, version 1.4.5* hate that you have to basically buy hats to play the game lol. do everything right, run out of time and you have to pay lol no thanks. i love it other than that and the millionsssss of ads. ### 4/5 — Good game *2024-06-16, version 1.4.5* I think it's a good game however, way too many adds ### 3/5 — Too many ads *2024-02-05* I liked this game at the beginning until the ads started after every level. Now its continuous, too many ads. I can no longer play it with those ads. **Developer response:** Hi there, thank you for your feedback on the ads. We try and ensure that the presence of ads is minimal, non-invasive and relevant to our players. We're always reviewing how we manage them within the game, and I've sent your feedback to our team. That said, making any in-app purchase removes these ads completely! ### 1/5 — No daily reward, too many ads, system bug *2023-12-26, version 1.4.5* Take to long to get into the game, can’t find the pet when you start the game and too many ads. :( don’t have daily rewards and in the steak and chicken restaurant level 65, it has a 50 sec goal to achieve 890 hearts but game starts with 48 sec start :/ ### 5/5 — Love it *2023-11-30* Can’t wait for the new habitats, love this game **Developer response:** Hi there! Thank you so much for your feedback, we really appreciate it! This truly helps us build new content and make the game better, and your comments have helped contribute to the game's success! We hope you continue to have fun with Animal Rescue! ### 1/5 — WHY IS THERE AN AD AFTER EVERY LEVEL??? *2023-10-05, version 1.4.5* ****Update to my review - I got a “response” to my post from the developer, which is a canned, generic response, exactly the same as all the other reviews calling out the ridiculous amount of ads. Ending with a suggestion to make an in game purchase, despite me clearly stating I refuse to reward greedy. If I could give this less than a star, I would. The only thing worse than being greedy is so clearly not giving a crap about the people you’re trying to get money out of. Sending canned responses to reviews you haven’t even read - maybe you should find a career you actually enjoy, because this clearly isn’t it. I have played two other cooking games by this developer and the ads are not so heavy and consistent. The only thing those ads inspire me to do is delete the game, which I otherwise was enjoying. When the ads are that persistent and annoying, I refuse the reward greedy behavior by making an in game purchase. Without all of those ads, I would have. Instead, the time I spend unwinding from my day will no longer be playing this game. Hope all the ads are worth it for you - I will never understand why developers don’t get that - you lose more customers that way. Would you enjoy a commercial after every minute of your favorite TV shows? Or a salesperson knocking on your door or calling you every five minutes? Doubtful. It ruins the fun, which I’m assuming is the point of the game. ## Frequently asked questions about Cook Off ### What is Cook Off: Animal Rescue?
