I remember having this game with no ads and now after every level is an ad. Then $5 for ad free? Money hungry business. ### 3/5 — Ошибка Error *2026-08-06* Решила поиграть в игру детства, но после 1 уровня игра больше не работает, надеюсь решите эту проблему. **Developer response:** Thankyou for your feedback, we're always looking to improve and create the best possible games for our users.

It’s frustrating, especially when the restaurant gets super busy. I love this game, I really do, but I wish it was easier to click/tap on customers/tables/food, it would make the game a much more enjoyable experience! I remember this being a problem on the flash version as well. Please consider trying to fix this. Thank you! ### 5/5 — EU AMO ESSE JOGO *2026-06-06* O melhor jogo do mundo, antes jogava só no computador mas estou feliz que tenha para o celular!!

When a player leaves the game to do something when they come back they have to restart the whole level so I was wondering if you could let them leave off from where they left off beca the pause button cannot do that Thanks, ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-06-01, version 1.2.412* Been playing this game seen a kid . Now I’m 26 ### 3/5 — Childhood fav *2026-05-31, version 1.2.412* Issa gooder but it could use a lil update for the “hit box” on the taps for the food and penguins on mobile ### 5/5 — Penguin Diner is peak *2026-05-27, version 1.2.412* Love it, the ads aren’t super invasive at all and I love the silly penguins, as someone who loves Diner Dash but hates the newer (uglier cough cough) art styles of a lot of games like that have, this is such a great game to have found! Cute penguins and fun gameplay! ### 5/5 — Yes *2026-05-27, version 1.2.412* Yes ### 5/5 — Muito Nostálgico *2026-05-25* Muito Nostálgico! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback.

Es una lástima porque realmente quería jugarlo. ### 1/5 — Crash *2025-06-05, version 1.1.403* I made day 1 to 4 and everything was perfect until day 5 ended. Now I can’t pass it and if I try to exit the app, it makes me do the day again Update: I restarted my cellphone and deleted the app, but it’s still not working.
