I can’t get far in the dungeons due to this and it’s frustrating! Maybe make it easier to obtain for for the players? Other than that I actually enjoy the graphics and it’s fun. ### 3/5 — ingredients auto-collect function? *2022-08-15, version 1.0.33* kind of addicting. i understand this is quite an old game, but i’m used to “idle” games. i wish this game has an auto-collect function for ingredients collected from the dungeons (which will work even when i close the app).. ### 2/5 — Can’t log out! *2022-03-03, version 1.0.32* I have played this game for a long time, even spending money so I could get cute characters because I loved it! But I tried logging into today and it had signed me out! No problem but I accidentally hit AppleID to login when I had my email before and now I can’t log out to get to my other save! I can’t even connect my google account to my Apple ID because it’s already associated with another account. I just want to be able to get back in my account. How can I log out!? Please please help me I love this game so much! ### 5/5 — I’m an addict *2021-10-13, version 1.0.31* I’ve already spent money on this game just for the satisfaction of leveling up my heroes and other things. The game does not push sales, however, which is incredibly refreshing. Most games on the AppStore want to put pop ups in your face about spending your money, but I spent my money on a genuinely good game because I wanted to support the creators of it and not because of advertisements. The artwork is adorable. I would love to see more heroes and areas to explore, and definitely more recipes, but what there is already is hours of gameplay that will never get boring. It is a very rewarding and relaxing game. Absolutely incredible idle game. ❤️ ### 4/5 — wagoon or player lv. help nothing *2021-09-27, version 1.0.31* maybe I don’t know (my lv. now 223) it’s just a No. ### 3/5 — 楽しいけど *2021-09-07, version 1.0.31* バックグラウンドでも何かしら効果ください。 ダンジョンでのリュックが小さすぎて序盤がつらいです。進めていくとマシになるのかなぁ… ### 5/5 — More *2021-02-15, version 1.0.29* Please update new things ### 5/5 — Update please *2021-02-11, version 1.0.29* Great game. How about an update? Thanks! ### 5/5 — Love it *2020-08-25, version 1.0.29* Really fun game. Has a couple of interesting minigames and the core gameplay is well thought out. Also really like the little bits of storyline scattered throughout. ### 5/5 — クッキー平野 *2020-08-04, version 1.0.29* クッキー平野てどうやって行くの😩 凄く楽しくてハマってるが 説明があまりないから判らない事が多い ### 5/5 — うん *2020-07-13, version 1.0.29* 楽しい ### 5/5 — Great game, but has a bug *2020-07-05* This game is great! It’s fun as you travel around the map selling your food and increase intimacy with villagers to learn new recipes. I could go on and on...! However, after I ignored this game for a while and same book, my cooks are were ”cooking” but didn’t make any progress with cooking he food, so now I can’t craft any new food. Please fix! This is otherwise a very good game. I recommend it! ### 5/5 — Fun *2020-06-25, version 1.0.29* Great game ### 4/5 — Ok *2020-04-07, version 1.0.29* This game is good ### 3/5 — Good game but I can’t switch between my accounts *2020-04-03, version 1.0.29* Same as the title. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Buggy *2024-12-23, version 1.0.37* When I open app it’s stuck on a white screen ### 1/5 — Won’t Stay On *2023-05-18, version 1.0.33* I used to play this game years ago and I loved it. I tried to play it on my phone and it just keeps shutting off. I loved the graphics, the cooking, and the dungeon crawl. It just won’t let me play. ### 1/5 — アカウント削除機能の前に、 *2022-06-12, version 1.0.33* 久しぶりのアプデでしたが、アカウント削除機能を追加する以前にGoogle連携で起動すらできなくなってる現状を解決してくださいよ… レビュー読んでくれてないのかな… もしかしてと思って起動したらやっぱりダメでガッカリしました。 この際データ消えてしまってもいいのでもう一度遊ばせてください… ### 1/5 — Crashes everytime I open it *2022-01-17, version 1.0.32* Not sure what’s wrong, the app was working fine the first few times I was playing- ### 1/5 — Don’t bother I lost my data. *2019-09-01, version 1.0.18* I spent hours on this game and I opened it up today to find all of my data gone for zero reason. I was even disconnected from my Facebook. I thought reconnecting to it would give me my data back but even that won’t work. Don’t bother with this game unless you like having all of your data disappear for 0 reason. ### 1/5 — Too bad *2019-08-09, version 1.0.18* Nice concept but horrible execution. You need to be online in order to sell any food, this means you need to leave your phone on all the time. Not only that, half the time when you watch an ad, the don’t give you the reward promised. ### 1/5 — Amazing... but *2019-08-06, version 1.0.18* Not being able to play music or anything while the app is open kills it for me. I’ve played a fair amount in one day. But now I’m wondering if I wasted my time cuz I can’t listen to tunes while grinding this game ### 1/5 — Cute game but got scammed? *2019-08-03, version 1.0.18* I think the premise of this game is wonderful, I think the art is really cute. I really want to like this game, that's why I decided to drop some money on it to get rid of the awful banner ad and support the dev. However the banner ad is still there and my money isn't. ### 1/5 — 楽しいんだけど *2019-05-20, version 1.0.5* 一旦タスクキルして起動させたらロールバックされてました。 シェフが1人夜逃げしました…残念です。 ### 1/5 — あー *2019-05-17, version 1.0.5* アプリを一目バックグラウンドから消してよし！やろう！と思ったらかなりの時間ロールバックしてた。面白いのに非常に残念 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Lovely game *2024-11-18, version 1.0.37* I’ve played this game on both android and iOS and I can tell you that it’s amazing either way. They’re not a pushy company when it comes to sales, and all ads are optional and for your benefit in game. I spent plenty of cash on it just because of how much I enjoyed the game and the bonuses provided. ### 5/5 — more updates pls! *2024-09-08, version 1.0.35* hehe ### 5/5 — Amazing Game *2024-06-05, version 1.0.35* 10/10 I love this game ### 5/5 — Addicting Cozy Food Game *2023-05-15, version 1.0.33* I came across this game to find an easy cooking game that would be easy and engaging at the same time. Their aren’t too many ads and I’m thankful for no forced ads as well. The game is easy to do and requires some brain power to cook up delicious recipes and fight your way for ingredients! ### 5/5 — Fun & cute game *2023-05-09, version 1.0.33* I have been having so much fun learning new recipes and collecting ingredients. It’s a very addicting game with lots of charm. Excited to play more (≧ω≦)/ and happy that I found this app ### 5/5 — Soo cute *2023-03-07, version 1.0.33* The characters are creative and the art is gorge. Very quirky n cute sim. There are ads but not many and it’s an ok trade for a free game. ### 5/5 — Hoping for more!! *2022-07-18, version 1.0.33* This is probably my favorite game I’m hoping for new locations menu items and customization to the food truck maybe ### 5/5 — Fantastic game *2022-05-22, version 1.0.32* So much to do! It’s such a fun little game and I can’t believe I’ve only just discovered it. And it actually takes skill! Love this! ### 5/5 — Entertaining *2022-03-18, version 1.0.32* Been playing for a few hours now and it’s fairly cute, fast enough paced to stay engaging but not so fast that you have to constantly play and lose the ‘idle’ feel. I can put as much or as little effort as I want into it. Mostly I like that it’s not SWAMPED with ads. I intend to buy a little something in it soon. ### 5/5 — Please update *2022-02-23, version 1.0.32* Loveeeeeee this game, have been playing for forever and still addicted I just wish there were more locations and recipes 😭😭 hopefully one day there will be --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
