### 3/5 — permainan ga jelas😭

*2025-04-19, version 2.3.24*

dih

### 3/5 — Frustrating

*2025-03-13, version 2.3.22*

If I were you I would save yourself the trouble and stress by not downloading this game. It has been a nightmare for me, I have spent so much money just to try to pass the levels and when you purchase, sometimes the credit isn’t added to your account. Then when you reach out to customer service, they ask stupid questions or tell you to update even when there is no update available. It’s very stressful. My advice would be not to bother. Very disappointing.

### 3/5 — Forcefully Predictable

*2025-01-21, version 2.3.16*

Once you get to the 3rd island or map; it forces you to watch ads if you don’t want to pay for gems. A minor few bugs for example the total amount of coins you have shows up before you actually collect it at the end.

### 3/5 — Awesome but buggy

*2024-12-16, version 2.3.13*

Love the game but it wont load older Restaurants anymore. Will Upgrade to Five starts when fixed
