Stuck

I really like this game. I would say that it’s one of my favorites because it is the great mixture of challenging and quick paced. I have a few issues and that’s what caused me to knock off two stars for what should be a five star review. As I said, it’s fun and I could play for hours and I have before. But my problem is 1) when going to a new world, you lose all your coins from the previous world. Because it’s also supposed to be harder levels it’s harder to upgrade and advance to new levels. That for me isn’t too big of a deal but it’s definitely not my favorite thing. I’m not saying I should keep all my coins but I shouldn’t have to leave them all behind, especially since I had about 90k when I left NY. 2) But my biggest issue is that I’m stuck on this level and I’ve upgraded all the things available to me to the highest level possible and I’m losing the level by 40 or 50 coins. I might be able to win if I had a boost but I don’t have enough spoons to buy one. If you’re going to have a level, make it possible for someone to win without any boosts, especially if that person upgraded everything in the “restaurant” to the highest level.EDIT: I got past the level I had trouble with but now I’m having trouble 2 different levels in Paris. I can’t seem to get enough customers in the 60 seconds. Like I’m 5 away from winning the level. I’ve used free boosts given to me like insta cook do it’s not me. It’s the game. The game won’t let me win the game. I’ve given up.

Global cooking!!

Updating my review: I stand by my original feelings about the global feel of the game but the developers seem to have settled on these hard levels that are impossible to beat without boosts. I get it, boosts make money because you spend spoons but the amount of hard levels has gotten ridiculous. I’m playing in South Africa and wow, they have back to back hard levels. I’m very frugal with using boosts because I like to win without them if I can but I’ve blown through so many boosts to get through the second restaurant. Boosts aren’t fun to use(not to me) so being dependent on them is a no go. Sadly I think I will be looking for a new game soon, something I can play and win without needing a helping hand.Original review:This game just took over for me for my favorite cooking game. I played cooking fever religiously but found that game to be frustrating for some levels. I have all of the restaurants in the city, island and mountain so I played it a lot and Cooking craze is better. like most apps there is the cash grab aspect of later levels but I expect them to try. The varieties of food that you cook are so much cooler and that’s why I play! I want to look at food. I love this new island theme and all the different ethnicities represented, keep it up! Bring on Brazil and Ghana and Sydney. Let’s visit Shanghai and cook in a Vietnam food stall. How about cooking with the pyramids of Egypt in the backdrop or a coastal food truck in Dar Es salaam?

Been Playing Since 2018

This game is the only one I’ve found that keeps your interest. Just when you start to get bored, you end up in a new city and have to start fresh and new! Most games get boring because they become too easy over time, but in Cooking Craze, you’re always being challenged in new cities, and it keeps things interesting because there’s no chance to become bored with it! (until you’re in the last city for a year waiting for a new one to be released). The only 2 improvements I can suggest are (1) to add the “Go!” button back for the serve streaks. Once you’re in the last city, the levels for the streaks are random all over the city, and that button used to take me straight to the next level. Now I have to scroll around till I find the blue one. Honestly, it only takes a few seconds more, but that button is quite convenient when you’ve been on the last city since Tbilisi was the last city. The other improvement suggestion would be (2) the option to turn OFF boosts. For instance, say I just won an event and have an hour of the booster where the dishes are automatically served to customers. Now I’m on a combo level and can’t time my combos correctly because the dishes keep getting served before I’m ready so I can’t make combos like I need to in order to beat the level.

We all love this game!! BUT.........

Adding to my review!! So I’m in Paris level 21... there is no way of passing this level without putting money it to it only because they don’t give you enough costumers which is a bad big turn off for me!! That right there might just make me stop playing the game!! It’s unfair and upsetting!!! I too love this game, it’s a lot of fun and the challenge is great but unfortunately very unfair. I started reading everyone’s reviews and I have to agree with every single review!! I do have one other thing that’s annoying that I didn’t see much complaining about. When I lose instead of going back to map it gets stuck, not frozen because I’m still able to cook, but it won’t bring me back to the map so I have to get off the game close it out completely and then start again, it’s happened to be a couple of times but last night it happen when I was playing a bonus round I made about 1,000 bucks but since it got stuck and I had to get off I lost the money I made. It’s it upsetting. I did write to them I’m not sure if they will get back to me hopefully they will. It’s sad because I really do like to play but if they don’t take what everyone is saying into consideration then I’m going to have to stop playing as well. It’s not worth getting frustrated!! I could just go play one of the other millions of game out there. So please I hope you guys look at we are all writing and do the right thing!! Thank you!!

Too many promotion pop ups

Overall I like the game but there are way too many ads. But honestly go find some other game that doesn’t harass you with ads and promotions. Yes you can pay for no ads but then they are constantly popping up promotions. EVERY TIME YOU PLAY THE GAME. Yes every time. Whether you play once a day or 10x a day. Every time you open the app you have to put up with 5 pop ups letting your know there’s promotions you can buy and events all day every day because apparently you’re too stupid to realize that they are running promotions all the time. And it’s the same promotion over and over again. Who wants to go through roughly 5 pop ups just to clear all the crap out and actually play? It’s always for a limited time but then a new one starts afterwards. And those promotions are littered all around the perimeter of the screen so it’s always there. It’s not like you don’t know about it. What’s the point? It’s a waste of time. I just want to start the game not be bombarded with pop ups. For those who say you can pay to get rid of that. No there isn’t. The pop ups would still be there so why would I want to pay? And I’ve played plenty of games that aren’t nearly as annoying as this one. I’d stay away from it and find something else that doesn’t waste you time on ads and pop up and actually let’s you play.

Fun Concept, sketchy Execution

So I love this game, the design is fun and its overall a great game, but I have some big issues with it that WILL stop me from playing. My 1st issue is that when you travel to a new country, none of your money is taken with you, which makes the money you made previously unimportant, especially if you got all the upgrades. For example, when I left New York to go to Paris, I had over 80k coins, and now in Paris I have to start fresh. Normally I wouldnt mind, but the paris levels are incredibly unforgiving and without much pay off. By level 10 you need already a lot of upgrades so you constantly have to replay the same mundane levels. So, it would be nice if there was some form of currency conversion. Like I could use my 80k to get, say 20k of the paris coins. Something like that. Now, my next point, and possibly my biggest issue with the game isn’t difficultly but rather, impossibility. In many of the Paris levels (and some of the NY levels), when your goal is to get “likes” they dont give you enough customers to achieve that goal. Say you need 12 likes, they will only give you 11 customers so you HAVE to use a power boost of +3 customers which is ridiculous. This isnt a matter of, “oh I didnt perform fast enough” because it often isnt timed and you just dont get enough customers. Its a ridiculous money scam, and poor game development that needs to be fixed.

Challenging and fun!

I love this game. It’s got a ton of levels and individual events as well. It seems very well made. You don’t have to watch ads unless you want extras in the game, which is really nice. A lot of games make you watch an ad in between each round/level, which gets annoying. It is very difficult at points, which I appreciate, because that’s hard to find in free mobile games. But it is possible to pass really hard levels if you use strategy and do the 3 bonus tasks every day. It seems like some levels are a little harder than they need to be, though. I feel like some are literally impossible without a lot of boosts, mainly because you have to serve a certain amount of customers in a period of time that seems too short. But like I said, with enough patience and strategy, I’ve been able to pass ones I’ve thought were impossible. The only issue I’ve had with the game is the fact that over the past several days, no matter what I do, whenever I open the map, I get the leaderboard result of an event that ended like a week ago, and is no longer relevant. I can’t get it to stop popping up, but I am able to close it. That’s a really small gripe though, something I’m sure will get sorted out in the next update. I’m a little confused as to why Pac-Man is in the icon now, but I guess I’ll find out eventually? Haha.

Stole 300 spoons from me

I am updating my review because I have run into another problem. I am in Spain, on the last restaurant, and every time I go to add lemons to the paella or serve a drink, it won’t work. It is extremely frustrating. It makes me lose levels I would otherwise easily win. This is not acceptable. It is not my device. My iPad works on every other level and food item. Please fix this or I won’t be able to play anymore. Ever since I have gotten a surplus of spoons the game has done everything it can to make me spend them. Trying to trick people in to spending their hard earned spoons is despicable. The game does not do these tricks when you are low on spoons. Only when you have an abundance. There was a pop up telling me that I had an upgrade for a kitchen product and I had no choice but to accept. Stealing 300 of my spoons. You also don’t have the option of watching an ad to gain a new life if you have spoons. Why should I be punished for earning spoons or in this case actually purchasing them? When you are trying to trick me I don’t feel inclined to spend more money on spoons. Quite the opposite actually. I will never spend another dime on this game. Had I actually gone through my spoons on my own and felt like I was still in control , I might consider contributing to your game, because I am getting entertainment out of it. But I have no desire to be tricked out of my hard earned money.

Good game in the beginning

I’ll start by saying this is a good game overall. I’m impressed with the responsiveness, graphics, and overall fun it has been to play this game. I also enjoy the ability to earn spoons as you progress on new levels. Again I enjoy playing and the game is one of my most played when I need to unwind.My issue is with the difficulty as you progress to the higher levels. I understand a certain amount of challenge in the group of 40 for each restaurant, but when I can’t complete a level because the game doesn’t factor enough people within the time limit or I don’t make enough money as the goal because customers only ask for one item for all 4 on the screen, this is when I have to say enough is enough. In the levels for Athens and beyond, I see this more and more (Mexico City, Tokyo, Shanghai, Moscow). I can only progress when I use my boosts that I’ve been trying to save for later cities, but I have to use 2-3 at a time to make it through then the next level is the exact same goal with 5 seconds less than you had previously. Please fix this. I really do enjoy playing this game, but it might just end up being another app that I get frustrated with and delete because it’s too difficult. Thanks for reading this and I hope to see a fix in an update soon.

So Fun!

I gotta say, this is my absolute favorite game I’ve ever downloaded on the App Store. It’s super fun and addictive. I appreciate all the details they put into every country and the different ways to cook the foods and the ability to earn boosts / spoons in a way that I think is fair. Other games I’ve played pretty much force a player to pay but I’ve never really felt that with this game. You just have to be patient and keep plugging away at the levels or the weekly challenges to earn those extra boosts. Personally I’ve never had too many issues with it, sometimes it does freeze but very rarely for me and it’s usually if I lost a level. It does glitch out on occasion where if I use a boost and then lose, the next time I try that level or any other level I’ve lost, my boost will reactivate. Sooo I guess I’m not really complaining about that glitch as much lol. I will say that the levels where you have to make a certain amount of money can be a little annoying / frustrating but I usually wait until I either have infinite lives so I can keep trying to beat that level or play extra shifts to earn enough money to upgrade my stuff so that I can earn more money. I think the thing I appreciate the most about this game are the weekly challenges, they are so fun and keep the game interesting for me, especially since I’m still only in Rome at the moment. So thank you to the creators for making such a fun game and continually adding updates!
