Rubies, Rubies, Rubies

I really like this game. The only thing I hate about this game is that everything costs rubies in addition to coins. Literally for everything you need in the game.

Thinking of deleting the game

I liked the game initially, but right I am thinking of deleting it. There are levels where you need to earn a certain amount of money, but to do that you ought to have upgraded ingredients and food so they cost more and to upgrade you need diamonds which are quite impossible to get in the quantities you need and I am not wasting my money on them, and so no matter how perfectly and fast you get everyone’s orders you still fail. And so my frustration with this game mounts, hence are my thoughts of deleting it.

stressful but fun

this game is so stressful but endearing at the same time idk. I hate time limits but this game makes me feel like im doing something actively, its nice

Love this game!

Been playing for years and can’t get enough, apart of such an incredible guild. Thank you cooking diary team, hoping for more improvements and success for this game!

Addictive

This game had me awake all night

Change our assistant’s clothes

I love this game, but I love to be able to change my assistants clothes same as I change my avatar clothes. Thank you

I always come back to this game

I really love this time management game. It gets a little repetitive especially if you’re pretty good at it I wish some of the monthly and weekly goals were easier to achieve. I do like that I almost never have to actually buy diamonds to make the game really fun and limited ads

Was super fun.. until..

I’ve been playing this game for MANY years, probably around the start of the pandemic.. this game was so addicting for me. It used to fill up all my time and I would ENJOY that. I won’t say it was extremely free-to-play friendly in those times- the pop ups and “deals” after every level has always remained the same. But what hasn’t is the insane inflation of the gems. Before, it was easy to progress your restaurant prestige with the upgrades needed to advance in the levels and still have a challenging, yet fun time. 20 gems used to get you so far. Now? It feels like you’re barely scratching the surface of progression and completion. Even the upgrades needed to level up a NEWLY OPENED restaurant will be minimum 15 gems for the FIRST UPGRADE. It’s honestly EXTREMELY frustrating as a long time player who’s played on and off again. Every time I return to the game, I get reminded why I stopped playing. It’s so overwhelming to try and compete with other guilds when you can barely advance in your levels even when you fully upgrade your kitchen because you constantly need BUFFS or else you just won’t complete it. That was so unheard of before… I’m not sure why the game has become so unnecessarily difficult besides a money hungry game company. It really makes the veteran players, like me, want to drop the game, but the nostalgia pulls me back. I miss the way the game used to be. If I rated it during the pandemic, it would’ve been 5 stars. Now, I even question why I’m giving 2. :/.. I can’t see the game going back to how it was, so I must say I’m really disappointed that it’s evolved into this. I would say to those wanting to try the game to seriously give it a try because it’s honestly really fun and it’s probably the most fun time management restaurant games out there, but unfortunately… you will get burnt out and highly frustrated and frustrated.

Not worth it

They are removing rewards and making the game much harder, a lot of the enjoyment is gone

MyTona has tanked this game

As a long time player (6+ years), the way this game has tanked itself into the ground is almost laughable at this point. Almost. As someone who went from spending hundreds a year on this game to never spending another penny says a lot. Slowly MyTona is squeezing any perks in the game out of our hands. Forcing our hands to either pay to continue playing or stay so long in a restaurant so it can be the “free to play” like they advertise. Long time players can settle in and play thousands of levels in one restaurant gathering the necessary rubies over time but new players will be forced to pay because it takes so long that you’ll get bored easily. If you are a new player and come across this review: STAY IN YOUR RESTAURANT AS LONG AS POSSIBLE. Each resto takes about 900 rubies for upgrade. Stay in your resto until you have enough to move on but then be prepared to settle in again. Finish your blue book before moving on (usually 250 levels per restaurant) then stay for another 250 just to collect those rubies. DONT GIVE MYTONA A DIME. The Ushnitsky Brothers make millions off this game and continue to tweak the game so it forces player to pay. You can play this game without spending a dime but you have to be diligent.

Deteriorating Quality

I’ve been playing this game since 2019 and it used to be great fun. Interesting challenges, innovative upgrades, satisfying rewards, fun progress. However, in the last year or so, the upgrades reduce rewards, increase the cost of existing offers and alter challenges to be less than satisfying. It’s a shame!

Bad updates

The new updates halt game progression like craaazzzyyyy. Turning into a complete pay-to-win game rather than the classic, enjoyable cooking game it used to be. As a 5 year long player, it completely ruins the experience. If things don’t change for the better, i’m OUT. >:(

Used to be fun

With each update they take away more rewards - especially the rubies. What is even the point of tasty airlines now without the rubies reward? You are ruining the game and many loyal players are leaving.

Steadily getting worse

The developers for this game have become so greedy they have absolutely ruined an amazing game.

Such a Greedy GAME.

I have been playing this game now on and off for years and recently started playing again and I don’t wish to admit how much I have spent on gems. But now realised you need at least 300 gems to complete a restaurant. The free in games gems are laughable. And as much as I love the actually game itself I will be considering not bothering as I can’t believe how I have spent on gems. And I don’t gamble but this feels equivalent.

Oi, Chef! Agradecemos muito! 😊

Good game

Keeps me busy.

Melhorias

O jogo requer muitas rubis, principalmente a cerca da melhoria dos restaurantes, antes obtia mais fácil assistindo vídeos e você ganhava uma rubi, sem limitações, hoje em dia não tem isso, gostaria que voltasse essa função para ter uma jogabilidade e prazer maior para o jogo!, eventos que nos presenteiam mais rubis!
