While I like a good challenge, this game is too hard and so frustrating that I end up not playing it. You can’t win most levels unless you have boosters- which means they are trying to force you to spend money to buy them in order to progress in the game. You’re expected to be the busser, server, and cook all at once while customers are coming at you from every side and most levels are impossible to beat. So annoying, they could do so much better with this game and I’m disappointed. ### 4/5 — Kicked out of the game *2024-08-15, version 8* I was just playing the game and then it kicked me out of it for some reason ### 3/5 — Glitches logging on *2024-08-14, version 8* Just downloaded the game and it has a lot of glitches. Can’t fully log on to the game it soon as I hit log on it logs me off. Like the game but wanna play more of it. Please fix it don’t wanna delete it. ### 2/5 — Fun but needs work *2024-08-12, version 8* This game is honestly really fun but they really need to fix a few things such as lives not refilling when you exit the game for a couple hours and come back most other games if you run out of lives and exit for a bit you will at least have a few lives back i don't want to sit and have to leave a game open and stare at nothing while waiting for lives to refill they need to make diamonds either a bit easier to get or not need 5 diamonds for every upgrade that you need to complete levels i also don't understand why i have to wait 2 hours to get a upgraded stove most other cooking games you click update it may be a few mins and you have an option of watching an ad to get it sooner or you just instantly get it but not an hour + it seems like they want you to spend a bunch of real money to be able to complete levels or get the things needed to progress in the game which is kind of selfish on their end not everyone can afford to purchase extras on a mobile game and it shouldn't really be necessary with all the ads. ### 3/5 — Can’t pass episode 4 *2024-06-23* I am on episode four Vanessa, and it won’t go to the next contestant. I don’t know what else to do because I’ve completed everything. It’s very frustrating. **Developer response:** Dear player, we apologize for the long answer. The game really has only 4 episodes so far, but a new episode and new events will be released very soon ❤️ ### 2/5 — . *2024-05-03, version 7* As the game progresses, it becomes unfair. Can’t complete a level without having multiple customers come at the same time while trying to serve other customers and then clean. Not to mention, the amount of hours it takes to upgrade each item is insane. Unfair for the player to wait and have to try and “spend” money to get gems and use it. Not a smart market/game tactic. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Keeps Freezing *2026-05-01, version 26* If this Game would actually work i would have given it 5 Stars But the fact that its not working is a huge let down I open the game and when its supposed to take me to the main screen where one would press play it will say for me to go update and i had just downloaded it so i would close it and re try till it finally opened and I would play it and when i would finish the play instead of it saying how much coins it would give me for completing that play and go to main screen it would just Freeze and other times it would give me the coins and go to main screen and when i was gonna either press play again or try to do the characters make up or or dress it up i could not do it cause again it was frozen! So ya i just deleted the game and i have other games that work perfectly great so i know for a fact its not my tablet And its just plainly disappointing cause i seen so many great reviews on this game and just a few not good ones but not for the the same reason as my complaint so i didn’t think it would happen with me but i guess it did so im just deleting this game ### 1/5 — Can’t play! *2026-04-30, version 26* I can’t even play because I downloaded the game but it’s saying I need to update but when I click on download it says to open. When I open it says to update. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2026-04-13, version 26* Downloaded..but then the app says update for playing..though its the first time download ### 1/5 — Don’t working well *2026-03-04, version 26* The game freezes a lot ### 1/5 — Annoying *2025-12-28, version 26* Not worth your time ### 1/5 — Waited over 5 mins still no HAMSTER code. *2024-10-01, version 12* Ridiculously slow, hamster code “wait for code to generate its now been 8 minutes still no code. Utter waste of my time. Game prompts every second is so annoying too. ### 1/5 — Bug *2024-08-11, version 8* This game must have a bug cause it keeps cutting out on me and I can’t progress! Ver frustrating ### 2/5 — Not great- paid for no ads *2026-03-21, version 26* Keeps closing app- went on today and shows me to update app but when I go onto the App Store just states ‘ open’ and not ‘ update’ very annoying ### 2/5 — Cant download update *2026-03-18, version 26* It says to upload update but I can’t & the game just freezes ### 2/5 — Damasmom *2025-11-30, version 25* Game won't load to play ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Faw *2026-03-17, version 26* Love it ### 5/5 — LOVE IT!! *2026-01-15, version 26* I just love these kinds of games VERY fun to play.
