### 5/5 — 복잡해서 재밌는 게임!

*2018-05-20, version 2.03*

카이로 게임 메니아입니다.
다른 카이로 게임을 하다보면 너무 쉽고 단순해서 쉽게 질리는데
이번 게임은 꽤 복잡하고 이것 저것 신경쓸게 많아서 재밌습니다
물론 원래 카이로 게임의 단순함을 좋아 하시는 분들 이라면 좀 많이 복잡할 수도 있을 것 같습니다
처음 적응할 땐 이게 뭐지? 싶다가도 하면 할 수록 흥미롭습니다
그리고 카이로 마을에 손님 안들어오는건 손님한테 인기 없어서 그런것 같습니다
카이로 마을에서 라면 개발하고 손님 레벨 높아지면 손님들 옵니다

### 3/5 — 인간적으로 면 뽑는데 당첨률좀 보정시켜주세요

*2018-05-11, version 2.03*

60%당첨률인데 한 20번에 한번 제대로 뽑히니까 면 뽑다가 열받아서 게임안합니다. 아니면 연속으로 뽑을수 있게 시스템을 만들어 주시던가요.
장난하는것도 아니고 무슨 면발뽑는게삼십분 내리 뽑아야그나마 잘 맞고 그나마 잘맞아도 점수는 개판이고 이게임 하시는분들 보세요. 후반가면 좋은 라면 만들려고 면발만 겁나게 뽑아야됩니다. 확률은 개 후달리구요. 라면사게 스토리가 아니고 면발가게 스토리 겪입니다 아 짜증나서 접음 돈아까워
