After nearly every level is a long ad that makes it feel like half my time is watching them. Also, the skip needs to be better. Half the time I press it does nothing. ### 4/5 — Love It, But Also… *2026-04-16, version 11.5.645* Cute game. I totally love it. The premise, the treats, the decor, everything. I’ve been playing it a lot recently and I’m up to the ice cream parlor. I completed Joy’s cake set and I really love all my designs and sometimes I just look at them. So it’s like moving to the next set. Cool. So I go to the next set, and I try to scroll backwards to look at my old cakes and they are just gone. I panic and look it up and yeah you can’t view your old cakes again. I’m sorry, but that’s crazy. You work hard on unique cake designs for them to just be deleted? Then what are you decorating them for if they just go away! I have a lot of positive things to say about this game, it is great, but I would be relieved and very happy if you looked into this for a future update. Thank you so much. ### 3/5 — Too hard *2026-01-11, version 11.3.642* I really love this game. At first you only needed two coins to build in your bakery, then it gets upped to four. The levels are so difficult to pass. I don’t have a problem with difficult games, but sweet escapes go too far. The levels are too difficult where it makes the game not fun anymore. I have been playing for about 4 months and it just isn’t fun and relaxing anymore, so I’m deleting it. ### 2/5 — Too much *2025-11-01, version 11.1.640* Too much reading. Even when you hit Skip, it still goes through the whole thing. ### 2/5 — ゲーム大好き💕 *2025-10-17, version 11.0.639* このスイートゲームは前に入れてストーリーもあって可愛くがざりつけも出来て楽しかったのですが、いっぱいストーリーがありすぎてゲームを進めても直ぐにハートが無くなってケーキが作れないのでやめています。次々ゲームを進めてケーキを作りたいので、早くハートとブースターをためる方法がないか考えて下さい。 ### 2/5 — Why?! *2025-10-04, version 11.0.639* Way to go! Was a great game until today i open it and theres ADS. Way to sell out. Very disappointed and will be deleting the game now ### 2/5 — Ads *2025-07-13, version 10.7.636* The only reason I am uninstalling is due to the ads. They appear after every level you play. They also affect the sounds and music of the game, they will randomly become mute. ### 5/5 — I love it *2025-05-31, version 10.6.635* This is the best game ever you should totally get it ### 5/5 — Top *2025-05-03, version 10.5.631* Het is een top game om je brein te testen maar ik heb een vraagje hoeveel delen heeft dit spel ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-05-02, version 10.5.631* I’ve been playing this game for years. It’s so much fun. I especially love the cute little animals. My favourite is Scoop. ### 2/5 — Repeating Stories *2025-04-16, version 10.5.631* I’ve reached level 9366 and the stories of the inhabitants of this frozen island keeps repeating itself! Are there no more stories??? ### 5/5 — Kiếm lại chs lại thấy hay vchhh ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡ *2025-04-06, version 10.5.631* Vui ah , mong game có thể cho tiếng Việt còn hay hơn nữa ! 😋😍💖 yeuuu ☆ ### 4/5 — New chapters *2025-03-19, version 10.4.630* I love this game. But I keep doing the same chapters over and over again. Can you please add new chapters. ### 5/5 — The best game ever *2025-03-12, version 10.4.630* I love it no adds and u can play it whenever wherever bc it doesn’t need WiFi so Yh def get guys orbit missing out ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — All ages game with inappropriate ads *2026-07-02, version 11.6.646* Very disappointed in the direction this game has taken. Started running ads which whilst obviously ai generated for other games with images that are offensive to discerning adults and definitely not material that children need to be seeing. ### 1/5 — Why ads suddenly? *2026-05-25, version 11.6.646* Was such an amazing game until I suddenly began getting ads after every level. Why? ### 1/5 — Wont refund a purchase *2025-12-29, version 11.3.642* I’ve written them days ago about a charge on my account for 54 dollars. I did not get the package that was paid for in that package. I’m currently waiting for Apple to refund my 54 dollars. Update: Apple refunded me 54. And the reps are still ignoring my inquiry. Oh well ### 1/5 — Wont refund a purchase *2025-12-27, version 11.3.642* I’ve written them days ago about a charge on my account for 54 dollars. I did not get the package that was paid for in that package. I’m currently waiting for Apple to refund my 54 dollars. ### 1/5 — Game này mà hay *2025-06-20, version 10.7.636* Tệ ### 1/5 — Frustrating takes your money *2025-06-01, version 10.6.635* This game is so fun except for the fact that it will randomly shut off and cancel all of your progress and take you back down to nothing. When I have a streak going on or I’m playing the bean counter game this is extremely frustrating because it knocks you down to the bottom level of the rankings and takes away all of the boosters you’ve earned. I feel like this is their way to get you to spend more money to buy the extra coins which I’ve done just to have them take them all away. ### 1/5 — Use to be fun *2025-02-22, version 10.4.630* If you love ads interrupting your game then this is the app for you. This was one of my favorite games. Exciting levels fun interactions now it’s just a huge ad app filled with ads every minute you play a level so disappointing. Will have to just delete it now☹️ ### 1/5 — Nao criam nada novo *2025-02-18, version 10.4.630* Jogo esse jogo desde o inicio mais não criam mais nada novo. Ta muito sem graça ### 1/5 — 왜 한판에 한번씩 광고가 나오나요 *2025-01-17, version 10.2.628* 한판 끝나고 광고 하나씩 보면 게임을 어떻게 하라는건지 모르겠어요 ### 1/5 — 延々と同じストーリー *2024-12-30, version 10.2.628* 楽しかったのでここ数年遊んでいましたが、最近バグがひどくてうんざりします…。 集めたスターでストーリーを進めることができるのですが、かれこれ10回くらい同じチャプターを延々とループさせられてます。「またこの話かよ！」ってほんとにがっかりするし、時間と労力をかけてしまったことを猛烈に後悔する日々です。 みなさんがレビューに書いてる広告は、なぜか私の場合は一度も流れたことがありません。ちゃんとアップデートしてるんだけど…なんでだろ？広告見るモードとかあるのかな？？ まさか、、、広告見ないとチャプター進まないのか？？ いずれにしても…昔は楽しいゲームだったけど、今はけっこうダメなゲームになりました。お勧めしません。キャラクターは可愛いし、パズルも優しいのでクリアする爽快感が楽しめるだけに残念です。 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love this game *2026-09-04, version 11.9.653* I have been playing this game for about eight years and I love it. It says it is best for 13 and older, but I feel like it is a great game for people of all age some of the levels are moderately difficult, but overall it is an amazing game and I do recommend it ### 5/5 — Loving Thiss!! *2026-08-25, version 11.8.652* i have been playing this game since 6-7 years and it can never get old! it’s amazing!!
