This game makes you move fast and think quick but you have to spend some money... Giving it 4 stars ### 3/5 — It's not working! *2017-07-08, version 1.1.1* When I downloaded it, I opened the app. But every 5 seconds, it closes out of the app, and back to the home screen! Idk why. It worked on my iPod/Kindle fire. Please help me ### 2/5 — Cute but difficult *2016-12-28, version 1.1.1* It's so hard to get through a day, and it's stressful and disappointing when you loose. Graphics were very cute though. ### 4/5 — Fun, but too many guests come at once *2016-12-11, version 1.1.1* I was a fan of Hello Kitty Cafe and wanted to try the Carnival version. It's similar but in this game the customers/guests come too fast. Like 10 at a time rather than 2 a time like in the cafe. ### 4/5 — Fun and rewarding *2016-11-20, version 1.1.1* I enjoy playing! It takes time to save up to purchase new characters and level up rides, but it feels rewarding when you get there. ### 3/5 — Adorable but gets way too hard! *2016-01-18, version 1.1.1* This is so unfortunate because I was really enjoying this game. The animation is beautiful and the concept is great. It was fun for a while, but soon it became almost impossible to play. I finally saved up enough coins to hire a 4th employee, but as soon as I did the game became VERY fast & actually impossible to play. If I were a kid, this would be even worse. TLDR; slow it down! ### 3/5 — To difficult *2015-07-13, version 1.1.1* They need to make this game more like hello kitty cafe only being able to have 3 people get upset and then it's over isn't really fun especially when the game is as fast paced as it is ### 4/5 — Glitches! *2015-05-29, version 1.1.1* I love this game. I play it every day and I've almost unlocked everything but there is an error where I can't add friend codes and get likes or give likes to other carnivals so I won't be able to unlock the attractions that require that! I'm really sad and disappointed! Please fix it? ### 3/5 — Needs improvement *2015-05-24, version 1.1.1* High difficulty, low payouts. Could use improvement and more choices for Sanrio characters. Chococat and others were not Available in this game ### 2/5 — Difficulty is high compared to payouts *2015-05-14, version 1.1.1* I love the concept, just as I loved hello kitty cafe. After hello kitty cafe never updated and I only got a black screen, I downloaded this game. It is 10x as difficult. Games are supposed to gradually get harder. This is just ridiculous. Also, I can't get enough funds to upgrade or hire other characters. The levels barely get you any money making people want to spend money to make it easier. They need to even things out and make it more enjoyable. ### 2/5 — Waaaay too hard *2015-03-20, version 1.1.1* Couldn't keep up after the second day! Needs to be a bit easier, or at least have an option like hard or easy. ### 4/5 — Fun! *2015-03-10, version 1.1.1* Adorable game but frustrating for a child. In app purchases are almost a must to advance in the game. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — no *2018-07-26, version 1.1.1* it crashes whenever I try to open it and I can't do anything with it. Fix this please. ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2017-09-11, version 1.1.1* Every single time I open the game, it only goes as far as the SanrioDigital screen and then the app crashes... ### 1/5 — No longer being updated! *2017-09-02, version 1.1.1* This game crashed immediately after install. I went back to check the last update and the game has not been updated since 2014. If the game is no longer being maintained it might be time to remove it. ### 1/5 — Keeps sending me back to the main screen *2017-08-21, version 1.1.1* I already tried 5 times to play this game but it keeps sending me back to the main screen. It's pretty sad because this game looks very entertaining. ### 1/5 — Crashed *2017-06-30, version 1.1.1* Won't open on IPhone 7 plus Can't even get to the main menu ### 1/5 — Doesn't worrrrrk *2017-05-20, version 1.1.1* Just the loading screen then crashes ### 1/5 — I can't even play *2017-05-16, version 1.1.1* I downloaded to my daughters phone and the app will crash as it starts up. Not happy ### 1/5 — EDITED!!! 💜Im falling in love with this game💜 *2017-04-13, version 1.1.1* STOPPED WORKING AFTER MY IPHONE UPDATED IOS......... So after a few days of playing and totally loving this game, it has stopped working! I am so sad, i had a ton of upgrades, points, and coins. I have a iphone 6+ is anyone else who uses iphone having this issue also. *Original Post* So at first i was like woah this game is way to fast! I really don't think it is for little kids. But it is definitely getting addictive. So far i haven't had any major glitches or bugs pop up... once it just closed out on me, but no big deal. I only wish things where a little less expensive to upgrade... im sure it makes it feel impossible for younger girls. ### 1/5 — Pay to win *2016-12-31, version 1.1.1* It's a shame all the developers care about is money... The game is really fun, but too difficult for my niece to keep up with. The employees are too slow and it takes forever to save up enough points to upgrade them. Also the game ends after 3 customers leave, unlike in Hello Kitty Cafe where it keeps going. Both games are entertaining but it's annoying how the developers try and push you into making in-app purchases just so you can pass the level. It's hard enough getting and saving points. Please FIX IT. ### 1/5 — Too hard and too expensive *2014-08-29, version 1.1.1* Hit level 3 and already couldn't keep up.. This game gets hard too fast. Also everything is so expensive and takes too long to save up to buy anything ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — update?? *2020-08-08, version 1.1.1* please update the app so i can play it on my phone! love this game but i can’t play it cause of the outdated versions ### 5/5 — Upgrade your app *2018-11-17, version 1.1.1* The game is fun and all but upgrade the app so I can keep playing it. Thanks. ### 5/5 — Fun game *2016-07-19, version 1.1.1* I can't stop playing it!! 😩😅😻 ### 5/5 — Very cute *2016-06-29, version 1.1.1* Cute game. Gets a little hard at times, but all in all a nice game to pass the time. ### 5/5 — Feed the customers *2015-11-25, version 1.1.1* It's really fast game😞 ### 5/5 — Super fun! *2015-07-03, version 1.1.1* This is a great game! I highly recommend it if you like something challenging, fast, and cute! ### 5/5 — Difficult but fun *2015-05-21, version 1.1.1* What the title says o: ### 5/5 — Great game *2015-01-19, version 1.1.1* It's hard at first but once you open all the Characters it's easy and fun ### 5/5 — Like it *2014-11-11, version 1.1.1* I like it. Needs more levels tho. ### 5/5 — So much fun! But a little glitchy for old IOS versions *2014-10-03, version 1.1.1* I love this game. It's pretty much like Hello Kitty Cafe, but with some more features & different scenery. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
