### 3/5 — Unterhaltsam aber…

*2026-09-08*

Ich find das Spiel echt super cool. Finde es leider nur sehr frech, dass manche Kombinationen echt stundenlang dauern oder sogar mal einen Tag. Mir ist klar dass ihr Geld mit dem Spiel verdienen wollt aber so viel Energie oder sonstiges zu kaufen für nur eine Zutat ist schon sehr wild. Schade darum wirklich.

### 2/5 — Good but could be so much better

*2026-09-07*

The game is fun, I do enjoy it but the energy just goes within a minute, never gonna pay extra for anything it is just a game you are supposed to have fun not pay extra money for. Also so many ads to buy things exhausting. As soon you open it there 10 different things pops up. Too much but I do enjoy the merge. Altho not fun if you’re energy runs out so quickly you can’t play then more than 3 min

### 3/5 — エネルギーの供給が少なすぎ

*2026-09-07*

広告の飲み物滑らせゲームにつられてダウンロード。飲み物はまさかのミニゲームだった！メインのゲームは比較的シンプルなルールで楽しい。
不満な点としては、コインに対するエネルギーの供給が少なすぎてすぐ遊べなくなる点。求められる物の手間や必要コインは上がるのにエネルギーのリターンは上がらず、どんどん安月給になっていく気分かも。
ミニゲームや広告視聴でエネルギーが貯められたりすると良い。課金以外のエネルギー確保手段が欲しい！
あとどんどんマスが手狭になるのが困る。ジェネレーターは別エリアで良い気が…

**Developer response:** フィードバックをありがとうございます、シェフ！エネルギーの供給バランスや獲得手段についてのご意見は、開発チームにしっかり共有させていただきます。無課金でも楽しめるよう、今後のアップデートで改善に努めてまいります。貴重なご意見に感謝します！🍳

### 4/5 — Cacti 123

*2026-09-06*

I do like it as you don’t just merge you’ve got to put together and cook a dish as well but I don’t think the game plays very generous you don’t get much for free like in other similar merge games

**Developer response:** Thank you for enjoying the merge-and-cook experience, Chef! We understand that the free rewards and progression can feel limited compared with other games. We’ll share your feedback with our team as we review game balance. 🙏

### 2/5 — Fun during the initial stages

*2026-09-05*

The first 50-60 levels are quite fun. After that, unless you purchase in game gems with real money, progress slows down so much that you cannot enjoy at all. The wait times for energy refilling to create a single dish might take over a day, even if you constantly use the energy as it refills. So, while it was initially fun enough to get a 5-star rating, after you play it a little, it becomes only a cash grab.

**Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your honest feedback, Chef. We understand how long energy wait times and slower progress after the early levels can affect the fun. We’ll share your concerns about game balance and progression with our team. 🙏

### 4/5 — Legal

*2026-09-05*

O jogo é legal, mas só acho que deveriam dar mais energia. A gente passa de nível e ganha só elementos pra aumentar os níveis das máquinas. Deveriam encher a energia td vez que passasse de nível. A pessoa nunca completa as coisas, meio que obrigam a fazer compras.

**Developer response:** Obrigada pelo seu feedback, Chef. Entendemos que a energia acabar rapidamente e a sensação de precisar fazer compras podem atrapalhar o jogo. Vamos compartilhar sua sugestão sobre energia e equilíbrio com nossa equipe. 🙏

### 3/5 — 보석 사용 관련

*2026-09-05*

방울 나왔을 때 터뜨리는 건 진짜 터뜨릴 거냐고 재차 물어보면서 바로 옆에 보석 쓰는 건 왜 묻지 않는 거죠? 잘못 눌러서 아끼던 보석을 허망하게 날렸습니다.. 업데이트 좀 부탁드립니다. 앱 내에서 메일을 보내려니 메일이 안된다고 뜨네요

**Developer response:** 소중한 의견 감사합니다, 셰프님. 보석 사용 시 확인 기능에 대한 불편과 앱 내 메일 전송 오류에 대해 알려주셔서 감사합니다. 불편을 드려 죄송하며, 말씀해 주신 내용은 팀에 전달하겠습니다. 🙏

### 3/5 — Nicht „pay2win“ sondern „pay2play“

*2026-09-05*

Spiel macht Spaß. Aber entweder du wartest Stunden (!) auf Energie, oder Du bezahlst dafür.

**Developer response:** Danke für dein Feedback, Chef. Es freut uns, dass dir das Spiel Spaß macht, und wir verstehen, dass die langen Wartezeiten bei der Energie frustrierend sind. Wir werden deine Anregungen mit unserem Team teilen. 🙏

### 5/5 — Addictive

*2026-09-03*

Fun and addictive game!

**Developer response:** Ha! We love that you can't put Foodstars down, Chef! 🤣 Knowing our game is this addictive is the absolute best compliment we could ask for. Keep merging, keep cooking — there's always something new and delicious waiting for you in the kitchen! Happy cooking! 🍳🔥

### 5/5 — Einfach super

*2026-09-02*

Richtig tolles Spiel für zwischendurch, es wird immer schwerer, man muss sich immer mehr merken, ich finds echt klasse

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für deine tolle Bewertung, Chef! 🌟 Es freut uns sehr, dass dir Foodstars auch bei steigenden Herausforderungen Spaß macht. Viel Freude weiterhin beim Merken, Zusammenführen und Kochen! 🍳

### 3/5 — Complicated

*2026-09-02, version 1.47.0*

Fun, but complicated. I don’t like having 
 multiple stores that offer the same thing. The cooking aspect adds to the complexity.

### 5/5 — Rating a 100%

*2026-09-02, version 1.47.0*

The game is good,it’s the best if you really like gathering resources and building things. The merge resources gotta be at least the best out there .

### 4/5 — It’s way too hard for no reason

*2026-09-02*

It’s fun but so frustrating the higher level you get. It’s taking days sometimes to finish a level because things say they are charged and they are not and I still have energy but can’t use it because the generator dies after four or five turns. Why does it take two days to get one order finished and I log in every few hours or less and even have spent money! It’s so ridiculous

**Developer response:** Thank you for your honest feedback, Chef. We understand how frustrating it is when generators take a long time to recharge and energy cannot be used as expected. We’ll share your concerns about recharge times, progression, and energy balance with our team.

### 1/5 — Propaganda enganosa

*2026-09-08*

No anúncio é um jogo quando baixa é outro.. deveriam ser mais coerentes com que anunciam

### 1/5 — Ужас

*2026-09-07*

Криво залитая реклама этой игрушки заставляет перезагружать
 айфон.

### 1/5 — Too much tutorial

*2026-09-07*

I am on level 2 and still getting the annoying tutorial. Pathetic. Deleted

### 1/5 — Update error

*2026-09-06*

After update item produce is very less for higher levels

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback, Chef. We’re sorry the item production feels lower at higher levels. We’ll share your comments with our team as we review game balance and progression. 🙏

### 1/5 — The ad doesn’t close

*2026-09-06*

I’m trying to play a game and the ad for this app makes my other game crash. If there are problems with the ad, I guess the game is unplayable too.

**Developer response:** Thank you for reporting this, Chef. We’re sorry the ad caused another game to crash. Please email us details and, if possible, a screenshot or recording at support@happibits.zohodesk.com so we can identify the ad and investigate the issue. 🙏

### 1/5 — Not as advertised

*2026-09-04*

It is nothing like it shows in the advertisements. Very disappointed.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback, Chef! We understand the game may feel a little different from what you saw in the ad. The ads highlight the game's theme, while the actual gameplay is a merge-and-cook experience. Give it a few levels and see if it grows on you — if not, we totally understand. Let us know if you have any questions! 🍳

### 1/5 — VIP

*2026-09-02, version 1.47.0*

Paid for VIP and now it’s gone

### 1/5 — Good game but getting ⚡️could be better

*2026-09-01*

Very difficult to merge coz lots of items needs to be merged with very less energy u have and u ll not have an option to spend more time but wait n wait n get bored soo that u ll be in a position to just uninstall it ! Need to improve on giving more options for gaining energy soo that it can be spend n time will be spent too !

**Developer response:** Thank you for your honest feedback. We understand how frustrating it is to wait for energy when many items need to be merged. We’ll share your suggestion for more ways to earn Energy with our team.

### 1/5 — Unbelievable annoying

*2026-09-01*

Treats you like an idiot. Tells you what to merge, when to merge the instant an object comes up. This isn’t merging, it’s click where and when you’re told without a break.

**Developer response:** We’re sorry the hints have been so frustrating, Chef. You can turn off Merge Hints in the game settings to stop the prompts from appearing. We hope this helps you enjoy the game more, and thank you for sharing your feedback!

### 1/5 — Stop forcing your ads.

*2026-08-31, version 1.47.0*

I’m not downloading your app. Allow me to close the ad and stop redirecting me to the app store.

### 5/5 — 게임하는 걸 쉬고 싶지 않아요

*2026-09-09*

최근에 게임할 게 없어서 찾다가 발견했는데 너무 재밌어요ㅠㅠ 진짜 빨리 물건 만들어서 물방울 모으고 아이템 받고 싶은데 에너지가 없어서 너무 아깝고 아쉬워요ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ 다이아몬드를 모을 수 있는 방법도 너무 적고 에너지도 빨리 안 차서 미치겠어요.... 제발 광고 좋으니까 광고 보고 에너지 채울 수 있게 해 주세요... 돈 없는 학생은 아이템도 못 얻고 에너지도 없어 울며 잠듭니다.....ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

### 5/5 — I really enjoyed this game

*2026-09-08*

This game makes me happy

### 5/5 — Games awesome !!!!

*2026-09-08*

The only thing is their isn’t a family to help like in the description but that’s ok I guess

### 5/5 — Best game every

*2026-09-07*

I really enjoy playing this game. Merging the food and creating new dishes.

### 5/5 — Trop bien

*2026-09-07*

Un régale très facile pas de pub

### 5/5 — Nothing like it!

*2026-09-07*

As a merge game enthusiast, I have to say this one is my personal favorite among them all. Each one has something mildly unique that does change game play, but this one is the only one that brings me back to them all. I think the challenge is the perfect level where you aren’t just racing through, you actually get long solid game play out of this game. It may take you a while to earn gems, but earning gems is always possible even without spending money. If anyone wanted to try a merge game, this is the one to go to.

**Developer response:** Chef, this means everything to us! 🏆 In a sea of merge games, being chosen as your absolute favorite is the highest honor. We work hard to stand out with unique restaurants and creative recipes — thank you for putting Foodstars at the top of your list! 💪🌟

### 5/5 — BEST GAME EVER!!!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your wonderful review, Chef! 🌟 We’re thrilled that you love Foodstars. Happy cooking! 🍳

### 5/5 — Merge &cook

*2026-09-06*

Pretty good, fun to play and extremely relaxing

**Developer response:** This warms our hearts, Chef! 💛 We’re delighted that Foodstars feels fun and relaxing. Take your time, enjoy every merge, and happy cooking! 🌿🍲

### 5/5 — Ótimo jogo

*2026-09-05*

Amo esse jogo! É o meu preferido! O melhor de todos os tempos!

**Developer response:** Muito obrigado pela sua review, Chef! 🌟 Ficamos muito felizes em saber que voce esta curtindo o Foodstars. Continue jogando — tem muitas receitas novas e restaurantes chegando! Bom jogo! 🍳✨

### 5/5 — 머지쪽도 하고 요것도 하는데 재밌어요

*2026-09-05*

다만 조금 아쉬운게 다른분들 말대로 광고 시청 후 에너지 얻는게 있었으면 좋겠고 X2해서 에너지2개씩 먹으면서 레벨2 음식??쟤료?가 나왔으면 좋겠어요.

**Developer response:** 소중한 의견 감사합니다, 셰프님. 광고 시청 후 에너지를 얻는 기능에 대한 바람을 이해합니다. 여러분의 의견을 팀에 전달해 게임을 개선하는 데 참고하겠습니다. 🍳
