And my gifts keep disappearing whenever they’re on the board or in inventory. Sometimes when I go into inventory it shows a bunch of cookies for some reason. I love the concept of this game and I love the no ads though. ### 2/5 — Updates *2022-06-06, version 0.5* I love the game but where is cafe 4?? I have been waiting for months now. Please give me cafe 4 and then I will change my review. ### 2/5 — Ends too quickly *2022-05-19, version 0.5* I already finished everything, the updates are taking forever. It’s really fun though but I’m not going to wait. ### 2/5 — Get Update *2022-04-22, version 0.5* I beat this game in a few hours, now it’s nothing happening, please update this game, thank you ### 2/5 — Lots of bugs *2021-10-29, version 0.5* The concept of this game is great but I beat it in a couple of days. There is also a TON of bugs. I’ll have items on my board that are needed and it won’t register. Really not worth it. ### 2/5 — Where’s the update??? *2021-10-16, version 0.5* I’m really hoping for an update soon. It’s been too long. ### 2/5 — COULD be fun… IF *2021-09-14, version 0.5* I started playing this game and liked it. However, it now wants strawberries and carrots to complete orders and I have never seen any. I have only been able to open THREE of the places. This game names a SERIOUS update… or I’m going to do like I do with all OTHER games that waste time and are unbeatable… delete it. Fix the game… please!?!?! ### 3/5 — Almost to lvl 3 *2021-09-13, version 0.5* And then it reset to start over, ugh ### 2/5 — Still waiting for an update! *2021-09-08, version 0.5* Completed the game as they are still working on it….. however they need to be quicker on updating. It’s a great game and I’ll be interested again when I can continue the game outside of level 3. ### 1/5 — Stuck after update *2021-09-02, version 0.5* The most recent update unlocked the 3rd cafe, which is great! Unfortunately, customers are asking for orders that require fruits and vegetables, and I do not have a generator for them. I was given two pieces of a cardboard box early on in the third cafe, but nothing more. At this point, all of the orders require items I cannot access, so I'm completely stuck. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Scam *2024-10-12, version 0.5* So I’m pretty upset. I spent money getting gems a long time ago to support the development of the game. Turns out the last update would be 3 years ago. Really upsetting that this was probably a scam so they could just accrue money to develop other money pit games. So shameful. ### 1/5 — Game has very few levels and no updates *2022-08-11, version 0.5* Very few levels and no updates ### 1/5 — Needs bugs fixed bad *2022-02-19, version 0.5* I've been playing a while...game is glitch ING and not taking items off page unless I close out and log back in. Been almost a year and logged in and still not fixed...what's the deal??? ### 1/5 — Updates take to long *2022-02-10, version 0.5* I’ve finished the game and there are no updates, i’ve also come across a few glitches that haven’t been patched. ### 1/5 — Lazy developers… *2022-02-03, version 0.5* Instead of quickly making it so that ppl have additional boards and someone work on the ruff stuff y’all just make it so ppl can’t pass levels. I’m literally stuck on cafe 3 bc y’all didn’t do 4 Lmfaoooo 👋 ✌️ ### 1/5 — Was okay at first *2021-11-01, version 0.5* Super fun at first but the game doesn’t even let me get further than I am already. I keep making coins and selling everything so that when the next upgrade comes out I’ll already be able to purchase everything for that shop. It gives me quests to complete but I don’t even have the machines nor can I make / buy them to make them. ### 1/5 — Not worth the time *2021-10-19, version 0.5* Game crashes constantly and every couple levels you have to exit out the game and go back into it just to play more levels. Also it would be better if you actually had choices for renovations but you don’t do it’s not worth it when the game freezes every couple levels ### 1/5 — Finish the game please *2021-09-13, version 0.5* This game is so fun, but I can’t progress anymore. Please finish it ### 1/5 — Please read below!!! *2021-09-08, version 0.5* Ok, I saw some bad reviews on there site. I am the kind of person to go ahead and try it for myself. I was loving the game and then cafe three started to mess up. I was just like okay this is normal no game is perfect and then it just froze and kept kicking me off and way to many other reasons to count! I would have left zero stars if I could!!! ### 1/5 — Can’t get strawberries *2021-09-06, version 0.5* You updated the game, but there is NO WAY to get strawberries without purchasing them! No longer fun to play when things are literally impossible to get! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Need to update the game I finished all the levels *2022-09-21, version 0.5* I had finished all the levels that it has given me but now I am not really able to do anything ### 5/5 — Please please update this game I’ve been waiting and waiting since this game came out *2022-05-29, version 0.5* I would love this game even more if you guys update it even add some events to it and finish it ### 5/5 — Update! *2021-09-16, version 0.5* I really like the game but it needs to be updated I’m bored ### 4/5 — Love the game but *2023-10-10, version 0.5* This is a great game but please update more stories to it Level 4 has been saying Coming Soon for like 6 months Please add it ### 4/5 — someone update this game *2022-10-30, version 0.5* sad to see that this game hasn’t been updated in a year. it’s really good. i would keep playing but ive run out of things to do since there is no more content. plz consider updating! :) ### 4/5 — I love this game but, *2022-07-09, version 0.5* I have downloaded and re-downloaded this game over and over to replay it. But the updates are taking tooooo long! please update it, I love playing it ### 4/5 — Lots of potential *2021-10-15, version 0.5* This game has great potential. I finished it in like 3 days but that’s OK. I’m sure more is to come. Some bugs I noticed were that I would have things on my board but the orders wouldn’t recognize them. It was fixed by restarting the game. The other thing was the machines are hard to upgrade and when areas are cleared, the only way to get some items (like coffee filters) is to pay diamonds to unlock them. There is no machine that spits out coffee filters so it’s the only way to clear them. As far as the story, yes, there is a lot of dialogue which is fine and has the option to skip, but what would be nice is if when restoring one of the cafes, you are given a few selections to choose from when something is being fixed. This is an element that many other games offer and it’s fun to be able to pick and choose different themes and make the decorating part of the game somewhat your own. Anyway, looking forward to updates so I can keep playing. For now, I’m just clearing the board and racking up coins LOL. Best wishes! ### 4/5 — I enjoyed it but…. *2021-09-20, version 0.5* I enjoyed the game and had fun playing it but I came on here to see if they are going to add things and there was nothing. It says it’s 4+ years old so I’m worried there won’t be. I like to make progress so I don’t want to keep a game that I can’t make progress in. ### 4/5 — Great game but needs more levels *2021-09-16, version 0.5* I liked the game but you should have more levels built before releasing it. I hope you get enough positive feedback to continue building the game and add more levels soon. ### 4/5 — It’s a good idea *2021-09-14, version 0.5* The premise of the game is pretty good. I just wish it wasn’t just merging and then dialogue. That’s all it really is. The storyline is good though. Waiting for an update because I already finished what is out in just a few days. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
