### 5/5 — When’s the new update?

*2019-01-21, version 1.4.5*

I love the game, so much so that I’m out of levels to play.  I’m anxiously awaiting an update so I can play again.

**Developer response:** We always plan to give you the best, the best experience, the best gameplay, best quality, and the best levels. Before we even let out, it is our duty to ensure the quality and this would definitely take a bit longer than the usual.

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2018-10-05, version 1.2.1*

I’ve downloaded,played and deleted so many of these matching puzzles games. I decided to give this one a try,figuring I’d delete it once I got bored with it. I can’t stop playing it. 
I just wish some of the payouts for winning were better.

**Developer response:** You’ve made a Fan! Amy the Baker has marked your review as her FAVORITE.

### 1/5 — Needs to be updated with New Levels

*2019-07-17, version 1.8.2*

Part 2: Dear Devs,
Please add more levels. I've completed all the levels and the wait is slowly killing me. Everytime I see an update I get excited only to be thrown back on my death bed with disappointment. Save lives by making new levels....

** Lowering rating due to new levels not being released. This was my favorite game. We keep getting updates but no new levels. It's especially frustrating because the Devs said new levels would be available with new updates several months and updates ago.

**Developer response:** Hi Chef,
It might take a while to bring the best by adding new levels. Currently, we are not having any immediate plans for extending the levels. However, you will be notified once the new levels are launched.

### 2/5 — Fun, but annoying

*2018-08-25, version 1.0.9*

Fun little game, but annoying. Too many offers to send notifications, connect to Facebook, etc.

### 2/5 — Cute game, but...

*2018-08-19, version 1.0.9*

I don’t mind struggling to finish a puzzle game level, that’s part of the appeal. This game removes all the challenge by taking away color pieces after you fail a level twice. It just saps all the challenge out of it and feels insulting to boot (It’s too hard for you? Okay we’ll turn on baby mode!). That might be a better opt-in feature for younger or easily frustrated players.

**Developer response:** We’re extremely sorry you’ve faced this issue with the game. Please contact our Support Team directly from Game Settings and we’ll be sure to resolve your issue.

### 2/5 — Not what I expected

*2018-07-19, version 1.0.6*

I was really excited when I saw this game advertised on Star Chef. But I didn't find it to be what I like. I don't like match 3 games. But even so, the only cooking you can do is fake. Boring!!!!  Put out something like Star Chef and you will get my attention

**Developer response:** Fantastic Chefs is a puzzle cooking extravaganza, filled with adventure! You could always take a vacation from managing your restaurant in Star Chef and visit the FANTASTIC world with Bob and his quirky crew — we can assure you that all these quirky chefs share the same passion for cooking like you do! Give them a chance to make a lasting impression! :)

### 3/5 — Game is addictive

*2019-12-29, version 1.8.2*

The game is really addictive but I hate that when I use the spinning wheel for prizes that it always lands on the 100 stars and nothing else and also the fact that it keeps prompting me to join a group other than that it’s okay

**Developer response:** Hi User! We will surely assist you with this. If it's not much of a trouble, could you please get in touch with us via in-game message or at support@99games.in so that we can have a detailed conversation regarding this

### 3/5 — Cool

### 4/5 — Awesome game

*2019-04-23, version 1.8.2*

Very addicting. Love this game.

### 4/5 — Fun game

*2018-09-26, version 1.2.1*

I really like this game. I didn’t think I would like it when I downloaded it I had just got it cuz I saw an ad on an old game I had. But now I’ve been playing this game for a couple months now and I can’t get enough. I love it!!

**Developer response:** We are glad to have such supportive fans. If you’re looking to exercise your fingers beyond all the matching — ask Fabio to teach you spinning a football on your fingertip! He’s a pro!

### 4/5 — Fun

*2018-08-01, version 1.0.7*

Only started playing a lil while ago. So far it’s a cute game. Love the graphics and colors. Waiting to cook. I thought u get to cook also not just match but I am at level 12 and no cooking yet

**Developer response:** Bob and his crew have made your cooking easy. You make matches helping ‘em collect perfect ingredients! Keep supporting your crew and cooking will be nothing short of FANTASTIC!

### 5/5 — I love this game !

It is so cute and addictive. I don’t want to stop playing !

### 5/5 — Fantastic chefs

*2021-01-14, version 1.8.2*

This is a very engaging game even for a 41 year old if I could give a suggestion let the players go through the levels twice or even 3 times that way they can master each level with awesome boosters five stars love the game keep it rockin

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2020-05-29, version 1.8.2*

This game is THE BEST! It is a good exercise for your brain and really fun at the same time once I reached the second world, I never wanted to stop playing! Download this app and you won’t regret it.

### 5/5 — I love it

*2019-06-23, version 1.8.2*

No issues. Works fine. I love unlocking chefs and gaining gold to purchase every few levels. I don’t feel forced to spend money to gain levels and strength. I do appreciate that a lot. If something comes along that I just HAVE to get. I don’t feel bad about spending the money to support the devs.

**Developer response:** Greetings Chef! It is delightful to hear such positive words and it’s always a pleasure to serve our users.Thanks for taking out time to rate us. It really helps us to keep going and delivering the best :)

### 5/5 — Fantastic Chefs is a clever puzzle game

*2019-06-08, version 1.8.2*

The avatars are a bit silly. Game play is addictive: matching and clearing coloured bits. Joining colours allows a diagonal move which opens up many options for strategy. And it becomes more challenging to solve different puzzles at each level. Fantastic Chefs is a good thinking puzzle game with more than one way to win strategies. Terrific, give it a try.

**Developer response:** Mahalo! This is Luana greeting you! Your exotic review has me in hoops! It’s great to you in our Fantastic Crew!

### 5/5 — Love the game

*2019-05-21, version 1.8.2*

Been playing almost 9 months and never had a game I kept that long. Absolutely love it, but I recently got a new phone and now I can’t get back to my level 533. I have restarted and am on level 7, I have the same iCloud so how do I get back to my stage??

**Developer response:** Hi Chef ! If it's not much of a trouble, could you please get in touch with us via in-game support mail (kindly mention M215 in the subject). We will do our best to resolve it.
