### 2/5 — 広告見せたいだけ

*2026-07-13*

レベル5あたりから急にクリアできなくなる。広告見せたくて仕方ないのだろう。ありがちなパターン。

### 2/5 — 面白いのに残念

*2026-04-04*

食材も色々あるし映像もまぁまぁリアルで楽しいのに、指定された食材が全く鍋から出てこなくて、広告見るか課金しないといけない仕様なのが非常に残念です。

### 3/5 — Too many ads

*2026-03-25*

I really enjoy playing this game. It keeps me entertained. The only reason I don’t like it is because they force you to watch ads in order to win the level.

### 3/5 — ゲームとしては良いですが...

*2026-03-25*

改善して欲しい部分がいくつかあります。①半分くらい広告やコインを使って復活しないとクリアできない仕様→文の通りです。いくら正確にやっても詰む時があります。②誤タップとの戦い→具材がうきまくって違うのをタップしてしまう時があります。③具材が浮き上がらないor消失バグ→他の方も言及されているように、何が条件かは分かりませんが、起きる時があります。致命的です。
以上です。これらを改善してくれれば星の数を上げると思います。強制広告が無いのでいいゲームだと思うのに非常にもったいないです。

### 3/5 — 60% 이상부터 난이도가 바뀜..

*2026-02-10*

60% 이상되면 갑자기 없는것만 달라고 하는데 이게 맞는건가요.. 광고 없는건 돟으나 아이템 안쓰면 못깨게 만들려고 그러는것 같은데 너무 대놓고 주작질같음..

### 4/5 — コレクターズ魂🔥

*2026-02-09*

ステージをクリアしていくごとに
新たな具材が解放されて、
それを図鑑でいつでも見返せるのは
素晴らしいです！

しかし、図鑑の具材の表記が
バグっていて、名前と見ためが
合っていないので、
その修正をしてほしいです。

強制広告は今のところ
出てきてないです。
広告を見ないでクリアできるかは
完全に運ですが、
見ないでクリアすることもできます。

収集癖のある人は、
ぜひ一度試してほしいです！

### 3/5 — Ingredients

*2026-01-20*

Fun game but around level 200 it seems to be all the same ingredients for every level. I know there are a lot and wish it would give a variety. Is there a way to fix that?

### 4/5 — バグの報告

*2026-01-10*

とても楽しいですが、レベル15の巻き貝のような具材が、何度やっても最後の1個が出て来ません。そのため、レベルをクリアできず、連勝の報酬が受け取れない状況です。
早急に改善お願いします。

### 2/5 — What happened

*2025-12-30*

I’ve been playing this game for weeks and it was so much fun until just a couple of days ago and it changed. The part now freezes up and doesn’t let you get stuff under the boiling water it’s changed and not for the good. I’m very sad. Go back to the way. It was when it was fun.

**Developer response:** We understand that recent changes have impacted your gaming experience negatively, especially with the freezing issue under boiling water. Your feedback is invaluable, and we're evaluating these problems to improve functionality. We hope to restore the fun you experienced before.

### 2/5 — バグ？

*2025-12-29*

急に具材がわさわさ増えて、タップしても無反応。下に具材があるようですが、バグの具材のせいで先に進めません。改良して欲しいです。

**Developer response:** ご指摘ありがとうございます。ゲーム内での具材の増加に伴う問題について理解しています。このバグについての報告を受け付け、改善を進めています。今後のアップデートでより良い体験をお届けできることを期待しています。

### 2/5 — バグ

*2025-12-29*

お皿にはまだ1つとか2つしか乗ってないのに、鍋の中は空っぽになってクリア出来ずやり直さないといけなくなる事が多々ある。

### 3/5 — 具材が消える、足りない

*2025-12-28*

6面を何回もやり直してますが最後の一つの具材がどこにもないです。フィードバックを送ろうとしましたが、フォームがずっとロード中で送れませんでした。残念です。対応をお願いします。

### 3/5 — Skeptical

*2025-12-26*

I really like this game, I do. You don’t need to create an account or agree to terms and theres no timer. However, some things do need improving. 

- A bright red tomato in bright red broth is IMPOSSIBLE to see if its vertical without visible seeds/insides. Other foods have similar issues, but the red tomato and broth is the biggest issue. 

- some foods look too similar to other foods. 

- I’m only on level 14, and this has happened 3 times: I get to 99% with NOTHING left in the broth and only 2/3 of a final item and there is nothing left to click. Sometimes the foods glitch out of the bowl which I can catch those sometimes, but I’m guessing the other times you can’t see them outside the bowl. 

- Bowl needs to be smaller to fit on the screen, some of the bowl is outside the screen boundary and clicking foods is hard. 

- As a hotpot fan, I can tell you nothing can hid from chopsticks. If I can see the item, regardless of how deep, if i click on it, it should count instead of being “blocked” by foods on top. 

- Now this is the biggest issue to me and makes me skeptical of this game: without fail, at 62-64% complete, there are no available foods and Im forced to watch an ad to add a plate. This has happened every single level. I was STUCK on level 3 for almost an hour because I refused to add a plate. Constantly restarting a level and watching yet again getting to that % complete and no matching foods is getting really frustrating and makes me think there’s an algorithm purposely doing it near that % range.

### 4/5 — ADDICTING BUT

*2025-12-26*

I am so addicted to this game. Made it up to level 220. I don’t know if they did an update or what because the ingredients are now popping out of the pot instead of floating in the water which is better. However it no longer will let me tap on ingredients that are clearly on top to complete the plate. Even if there are like 5 options it won’t let you tap on any of them. Please do an update to fix this bug. Levels are now unplayable.

### 4/5 — Stuck

*2025-12-24, version 1.3*

Love the game but I get to the end of the level I’m stuck on and there’s nothing left but shows I haven’t collected everything.. not sure if it’s part of the level but quite annoying when I’ve cleared every item but shows I should have some left.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2025-12-22, version 1.3*

Started this game, really loved it. However, I have an empty pot and apparently a missing pak Choi, so cannot complete the level.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — :|

*2026-07-04*

Not possible to pass without ads.. they know it..and it’s intentional..

### 1/5 — Is not a game but commercial reader

*2026-03-03*

On level 10 , try over 50 times with no way out until you keep watching the commercials, uninstalled right away

### 1/5 — 60% 마의 영역

*2026-02-15*

그 이상부턴 현질의 영역

### 1/5 — Ridiculous!

*2026-01-27*

You literally can’t pass a SINGLE level! It’s unbeatable unless you’re willing to pay real money for the helpers which I’m NOT doing. Otherwise, you’re playing the same level over and over and over again. This game is the definition of insanity and I’m not going to entertain it anymore.

### 1/5 — Updated Review

*2026-01-10*

Ads are not unbearable, but after multiple game updates the levels are still not possible to pass. Every 3 levels I either have an item "missing" or one remaining item that doesn't have a plate.  It was a good game but repeating every levels is not fun. Deleting the game now.

Initial Review: 
I like the game and the fact there are not 8 ads in one level, but a max of 3 optional ones. Very fun and the different pots and food are cool. My only issue is when you get all the items but one does appear or the level doesn't end after you select it so you have to start over.

**Developer response:** We appreciate your detailed feedback. Understanding your frustration with the item completion issue, we have noted this for analysis. Thank you for sharing your initial positive experiences. We aim to refine the game and hope you return for improved gameplay.

### 1/5 — 81 уровень

*2026-01-06*

На 81 уровне ,когда в казане заканчиваются продукты , тарелки остаются не заполненными , уровень пройти не возможно ,т.к дополнительные возможности не убирают верхние тарелки .Сделайте что нибудь !!!!!!
П.С креветка не всегда закидывается в верхнюю тарелку

### 1/5 — 、

*2026-01-06*

面白いからやっていたのに急に野菜が沢山でてきてどこを押してもタップできなかったり下に隠れて浮かんでこなかったりする。改善してほしいです。

### 1/5 — Skeptical Soft Lock

*2026-01-05*

More recent updated review:  
*Lowered to 1 star because the soft lock is real. I spent 3 days on level 14 until I used an ad to get past it.  Been 10 days on level 15 because I won’t watch ad to add a plate.  I ALMOST beat it without an ad, but that 99% glitch happened. What a bummer.*

### 1/5 — バグ？

*2025-12-29*

レベル220から具材がどんどん増えそして何度タップしても全く反応しない    全く進まず困っています     こういうレベルでバグではないのか？悩んでいます

### 1/5 — アプデの後から、おかしい

*2025-12-28*

鍋から具材がはみ出して、タップ出来ない。クリアできない。強制的に違う物をタップして広告みて1画面クリアするまでに30回広告をみる。でも、ラストは画面からはみ出ているからクリア出来ない。早急な改善をお願いします。

### 5/5 — これが1番！

*2026-01-17*

他の似たような鍋のゲームをやったけど凄く難しくてやる気が出なかったけどこちらに変えてからはとても楽しくやってます。とにかく救済措置が親切なので間違えても広告さえ見ればエンドレスに挑戦出来て最高です。ちなみにレビューにある強制広告は全くありません。というかミスした時と特典を倍にする時に自分で広告を選んで見る以外に広告は出ません。

**Developer response:** 素晴らしいレビューをありがとうございます！。チーム一同、心を込めてゲームを制作していますので、これからも素敵な時間を過ごしていただけることを願っています。

### 5/5 — 最高です

*2026-01-09*

ステージ28までプレイしましたが今のところ強制広告無し、バグ無しで快適にプレイ出来ています。お鍋のグツグツ音も最高です。頭を使わなくていいのでボーッとプレイ出来るのもいいです。

**Developer response:** 嬉しいコメントをありがとうございます！ご満足いただけていること、特にお鍋のグツグツ音を気に入ってくださり、チーム一同、とても励まされます。今後も素晴らしい体験を提供できるよう努力してまいります。

### 5/5 — Level 81

*2026-01-07*

I can’t get pass level 81. Some food gets stuck under pan ridge and won’t come up. I was enjoying this game. Not now. Please update if possible

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback and support! We're thrilled that you were enjoying the game. We understand the issue at level 81 and are looking into it. Your insight helps us improve. Stay tuned for updates to enhance your experience.

### 5/5 — Like the game!

*2025-12-24*

It was great until can’t finish level with item which is invisible!

### 5/5 — different and cool

*2025-11-28*

this is a really good game. i have a lot of fun playing it.

### 5/5 — Hot Pot Sort

*2025-11-14*

If you want a game that keeps you on your toes, Hot Pot Sort is for you.  The game is good because you must identify certain foods.  It is a great learning experience.  Children can learn about different food types.  The graphics are unique and are very realistic.  This game is very good for mental accuracy, and it spurs a player to finish quickly.  I like Hot Pot Sort.

### 5/5 — 超级好玩的游戏

*2025-10-26*

让人沉迷!最主要是广告少，超级推荐！

### 5/5 — お腹空きます🤭

*2025-10-23*

いろんなアプリゲームをわんさかしてきましたけど、これは…良く出来すぎだと思う

"グツグツ"という鍋🍲の効果音といい、本物の鍋🍲を突いてます
たっくさんの知らないおいしそう😋な鍋がクリアすると次々と出てくるので(似たのもある)私は飽きなかったよ！今のところ😏
今からの鍋🍲の季節、
騙されたと思って笑、1度でもオススメのフードゲームです
以上。
後、自分のペースで出来るから幸せ感あり

### 5/5 — 사운드 켜고 하면 중독성있음

*2025-10-18*

뽀글대는 훠궈 끓는 소리가 게임 안할때도 다시 듣고 싶어서 키게 만드는게 킥이다

### 5/5 — HOT POT SORT

*2025-10-14*

NOW WHY DIDN’T I PLAY:  HOT POT SORT IN THE FIRST PLACE?  I USED TO HAVE HOT POT FOR LUNCH… AND I FORGOT HOW IT TASTES LIKE.  ALL THE MEAT AND VEGGIES ARE THERE.  YOU HAVE TO MATCH 3 OF THEM TO WIN THE GAME.
