It’s fun to keep the ingredients stocked, collect cash, hire staff and expand the food court. Unfortunately, as soon as the first 30-ish minutes of gameplay is done, the forced ads start. And it feels like the more you play, the worse it gets. Super disappointing because there is an option to pay $9.99 to play ad-free, but apparently there are still some necessary ads? It’s unclear and I’m wary to pay anything without understanding exactly what that means. ### 3/5 — لا تحطون إعلانات واجد *2026-03-04, version 6.7.0* لاتحطون إعلان نات واجد ### 3/5 — ads *2026-02-19, version 6.7.0* Please come with additional entertainment videos. ### 2/5 — All lock *2026-01-29, version 6.6.0* Unlock ### 3/5 — Level 15 48/51 *2026-01-16, version 6.5.1* I am supposed to expand into Beach Park, but cannot as it does not ask for wood. #frustrated ### 3/5 — Bug? *2025-12-11* I just downloaded the game yesterday and there’s this glitch with the pizza section when my character or an employee I hire goes to make the food nothing happens can you guys please check the game? **Developer response:** Hi, did you check whether there is enough stock on the pizza? ### 2/5 — Frustrated *2025-11-30* I can’t expand my store and I’m on map3 at the end of it. I’m very very frustrated with this game. I still can’t expand my shop. I’ve been trying now for the past week!!!! You need to update the game!!!! ### 3/5 — Stuck *2025-11-14* Stuck on level 15 and can’t move on to map 4 ### 3/5 — ADS *2025-11-02, version 6.2.0* I love the game but there’s an ad every minute literally…I timed it ### 3/5 — To many ads *2025-10-16* To many ads ### 3/5 — Can’t get to level 12 he *2025-10-12* I have unlocked everything why can’t I get to level 12 **Developer response:** Hi, please email us at admin@gen-studios.com. We will try to solve all your issues. Thank you! ### 1/5 — Not up to date - staff not working and random codes instead of icons on side screen. *2025-10-06, version 6.1.0* Level 1 was fun and got me hooked . Then came level 2 and the restock staff didn’t actually restock and there was game codes down the side of the screen. Once I was ready to level up it didn’t show on maps. I had to press a random code on the side to access it. Same again, the restock staff didn’t restock at all and the grill area didn’t exist for the customers so there was no use or income. I have done all updates. I’m disappointed because it was fun ### 2/5 — Реклама!!! *2025-09-21, version 6.1.0* Без нее вообще невозможно играть, каждые 2 минуты приходится смотреть рекламу, это ужасно бесит. Ставишь на авиарежим и все равно игра словно вылетает, приходится перезапускать, а значит время в игре сбивается… ### 1/5 — Реклама *2025-09-17, version 6.0.0* Без рекламы играть нельзя. В режиме полёта все равно выскакивает реклама и приходится перезаходить ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Due to ADs I have to leave the game *2026-01-14, version 6.5.1* Ads destroyed the game bye. ### 1/5 — Stuck *2026-01-08* Cant even open the game it stays stuck on the loading screen **Developer response:** Hi! Sorry for the inconvenience 🙏 There was an issue in a previous version that caused the game to get stuck on the loading screen. We’ve released an update that fixes this problem. Please update to the latest version and try again — we hope you’ll enjoy the game! ### 1/5 — Disappointing dont download!! *2026-01-08, version 6.5.0* App wont even load tried multiple times just gets stuck on loading screen uninstalled reinstalled still doing the same wouldn’t bother even trying ### 1/5 — Wont level up *2025-12-20, version 6.2.0* I’m on level beach park and up to the last bit to expand my area and then level up. But area where to expand doesn’t have anything on it to take my wood and won’t let me make any actions to continue the game. I’ve had issues before but once you guys update the app it fixes the problems but it’s been over a month since an update. Please fix this bug ### 1/5 — Nasty, gross ads! 🤬 *2025-12-17, version 6.2.0* This is supposed to be 4+ years old. The ads are very disturbing! Porn!! Really???? ### 1/5 — Would go zero stars *2025-12-13, version 6.2.0* Found game ok, annoying with adds. Adds started appearing on ladies with no underwear on revealing their private areas. Not appropriate when my son likes to play the game too.. ### 1/5 — Frustrated *2025-12-07* I can’t expand my store and I’m on map3 at the end of it. I’m very very frustrated with this game. I still can’t expand my shop. I’ve been trying now for the past week!!!! You need to update the game!!!! I’m not going to play this game anymore until you fix it. ### 1/5 — Didnt even let me join *2025-12-07* When i downloaded the game i tried to join it but it just kicked me back out the game EVERYTIME. ### 1/5 — DONT PAY FOR NO ADS OPTION!!!!! *2025-12-03* I paid for it TWICE! and yet here I am forced to watch ads. I DEMAND A REFUND!!! I demand you refund my money twice. You are dispicable and nasty greedy people. May your bank accounts run dry- all of them, may your dearest friends stab you in the back and may your mothers look upon you with shame and embarrassment. **Developer response:** Thank you for reaching out, and I’m very sorry for the frustration this has caused. To clarify, the “Remove Ads” purchase only removes forced interstitial ads. Rewarded ads (the ones you choose to watch in exchange for bonuses or boosts) will still be available, as they are optional and part of the game’s progression system. You will never be forced to watch a rewarded ad. If you are still seeing interstitial ads appear, please let us know what action or screen they appeared on so we can investigate immediately. Again, we apologize for the inconvenience, and we appreciate you taking the time to let us know. Please send us an email at admin@gen-studios.com if you would like to discuss further. Thank you. Gen Studios ### 1/5 — Don’t bother nothing but ads *2025-11-23, version 6.2.0* You get about 30 seconds of playtime them an ad every time, unless you pay $7.99 to remove ads, can’t even get into the game before continuous ads. Complete waste of time, and very very frustrating. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Five stars *2026-03-13, version 6.7.0* Five stars ### 5/5 — Can’t get to level 16 *2026-01-31* Can’t get to level 16 on map 4..otherwise game is good ### 5/5 — Fun game! *2025-12-26* Love this game,easy to play and whenever you have to watch an Ad, it’s short and you get a reward for the game for watching it. ### 5/5 — Map 3 *2025-09-19* I’m at the end of map 3 level 15. I can’t get to level 16. I have the latest update but the box says next step but can’t use money or boards to open level 16 to get to map 4. I love this game! **Developer response:** Thanks for your support and for playing! 💛 Level 16 and Map 4 will be available in upcoming updates — please stay tuned for the next version! ### 5/5 — Passing step 5 *2024-12-20* hello! How to pass step 5 and go to the next step? I reached a point where there is nothing to upgrade ### 4/5 — Great game *2026-02-09* When will level 19 come. Waiting. ### 4/5 — Abt *2025-10-27, version 6.1.4* I though this was a really good game. But intruders can break in and the game is really busy.
