User Reviews for Kitchen Scramble: Cooking Game

Glitches ruin super good game

I love this game and have been playing it on and off for years. It’s similar to cooking dash, where you try to be quick and serve the food items, but unique with the recipes and theme. The game concept is 10/10. There’s always glitches though. Newest glitch is customers showing up after time has run out. Also, really hard to tell if you’ll get three stars on a level. After the level it tells you how much money each star needs, but during the level the bar never moves accurately to represent the money you’re making. Additionally, I know the app wants to make money, but it’s almost impossible to upgrade items because you barely make money. I try to play levels for three stars but most of the time it feels like they’re rigging the levels so you HAVE to spend money. It just feels like it’s really hard to progress in the game (updating items or getting 3 sars.) Honestly would rather pay $3 for the game to fully function and be played start to finish, rather than having “special events” and hard game play due to needing to pay real money for items.

Don't fall into this trap

This review says more about need than the game. I have been playing this for two or three years now. The game is fun but it's terrible. The supplies take too long to refresh, the game is obviously fixed on several levels et I will pay money for the ridiculously expensive cash. As FD at as the fixing, there are levels that require certain dishes to be served. Say you need to serve 4 shrimp. You play the whole level but no one will request the shrimp. So now you've wasted super expensive supplies. Also, the game requires you to make so much on each level. Yet the dish prices are fixed and you can't make that amount without buying cash to purchase select premium ingredients. Even if you do the next time you play the level. o one I'll request the dish with that ingredient. Now let's talk about crashing. The game crashes CONSTANTLY. and not just any crash. It crashes after you hit play on a level. This means you have lost supplies and any premium ingredient you paid for for that level. I've been refunded so many times it's dumb. Yet I still play. The watch and earn is a joke. There are never videos available. It works maybe once a month. Just greedy creators. I've decided. Yet I still play. Update: I finally uninstalled and found several similar games that are more stable and don't require so much cash to pass levels. Still love the game but I felt more like I was being conned than enjoying the two hours of rest I get a day.

Don’t Listen to Everyone Else

I’ve had this game for YEARS and it’s honestly the only game I keep coming back to. Yes it’s challenging, yes there are times when you can’t make it past a certain level for days, but that’s what makes it fun! Everyone posting 1 Star ratings because they think you need “real money” to get through the game is just impatient and bad at strategy games. Like I said, I’ve had this game for years, I’m over level 1000, and I haven’t spent ONE PENNY on this game. The developers made an awesome decision by allowing us to watch videos for supplies/cash/ingredients and implementing the “quest feature” which EASILY can get you extra supplies, tokens, and level boosters. You really have to be strategic with this game which I LOVE. Every other cooking game in the App Store is like it was designed for children and they get boring super fast. I love the graphics in this game and the attention to detail the designers used, there is literally no other game out there like this. To the developers: PLEASE MAKE MORE GAMES LIKE THIS. I would love to play anything made by y’all that follow this format. And to anyone out there that likes puzzles and strategy games: I HIGHLY recommend Kitchen Scramble.

Disappointed by this change

I was happy to see that they lowered the amount of supplies required for levels a while back. But I’ve noticed that they got rid of the “offers” you can complete to earn in-game cash. You used to be able to go to an “earn cash” section and there was a list of offers- mostly downloading other games or joining a mailing list. I always used this to get enough cash to buy tokens for the token gate and I actually ended up discovering other fun games through this. I’m really disappointed that they got rid of this, because it’s made the game unplayable. I’ve done the math and the only way to earn enough for the token gate without spending any real life money will take you about a month. Once you get the higher up levels, it’s super hard to pass levels- let alone earn more than 1 star (equating to one token). Without fail, I’ve had about 30 tokens each time I reach the gate for the last year or so. Most token gates require 100+ tokens. The best you can do is complete quests which only get you a max of 9 tokens every couple of days and honestly, I’m just not invested enough to spend all that time. I really don’t understand why they did away with the offers. I’d assume it was making them decent ad revenue, and I can’t imagine that there are very many people who are actually spending real money in the game given how expensive it is.

Valuable PAYING customers are lashing out.. change your game.

I’ve been playing this game for years and never once spent money on it the first 2-3 years playing.. I am a skilled player and got a new phone and had to start all over and have finally realized I had to pay real money to actually beat levels. Here in the past 2-3 months (with at least 1-2 updates) this game is freezing up at the beginning of the game(ATLEAST 30 seconds.. just sitting WAITING, And not for an ad!!) I am a committed player and always go back to this game bc of the good graphics, but after reading the recent reviews (because I am always looking to see if you guys update) I see crappy reviews that have the same frustration as me. Spending MY REAL HARD EARNED MONEY on a game that strings you along.. people rarely ever order the items you need.. if they do, not enough coins to gain a star. I’ll keep playing, but I won’t spend any more real money until you guys make this game practical.. and another thing, I’ve spent “25 dollars” to skip a level by accident. Hard earned money that is taken immediately if I accidentally touch my phone in the wrong spot. Recommend asking “are you sure” for that certain purchase. I NEVER DO REVIEWS.. but this game needed my say so! Correct your problems bc I won’t be spending any more money on this “FREE” game 🙄🙄🙄

Great game BUT...

I have been playing this game for years and I love it! I love the graphics and I love that I get to exercise my memory with remembering the dishes. I've never needed to spend real money on this game because this game gives plenty of opportunity to earn cash and whatever you need to get premium appliances and ingredients and you can go through the levels pretty easily. There are some challenging levels too which makes the game fun. The downside to this game is there are many glitches. I have the most updated version (it won't allow you to play without updating it). Sometimes when I'm playing a level, the app will freeze up and exit me out of the app without saving my progress and it takes the supplies and ingredients I used away. Sometimes it glitches so bad it will cause meals to burn on it's own. The ads will also cause it to glitch and exit out the app. The worse thing about it all is that I can't even link my progress to Facebook so that I can use a different device. I'm so far in this game and I would hate to have to start over like I have done once before, it was the worst! Please at least allow me a way to link my progress! Thanks!

Great game - poor programming

I’ve been playing this game for years - and overall I love it. I’ve never had to spend real money on it. However, it is by far the glitchiest app I’ve ever used. Sometimes it will just freeze mid-level, where you no longer can move so you’re forced to watch all of your food burn and your customers get mad and leave. Plus when that happens, you are wasting any premium ingredients, supplies, and power ups you paid for on that level. Other times, the game is fine, but the functionality of one of the appliances stops working. You might be cooking something in the pot, and then the food suddenly disappears, and you can no longer click on the pot at all. You might be able to cook other foods, but if any of the customers are looking for dishes that require the pot, you have to let them leave.Also agree with the other review that you have to be super careful not to accidentally select to spend “dollars” on extra customers or skipping a level, because there is no “are you sure?” page. Those buttons are placed right next to the ones you plan on clicking, so you’re often cheated out of the “dollars” that you earned, which is really frustrating.

Impossible (Sorry I can’t give 0 stars)

While I did get help with my previous problem, the fact that there are many levels where it is impossible to earn three stars is ridiculous. You need stars to get passed gates and, unless you’re willing to buy them, you need to get stars from the levels. Also, the fact that you have to play some levels countless times to get passed bc the level is requiring you to make one dish a certain amount of times and they put out one customer to order that dish. It’s a really fun game to play, but with these problems, I’m getting to the point where it’s more frustrating than fun. I’m not saying the levels have to be easy, but not impossible unless you want to spend real money. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who feels this way. I’ve been playing for a while. It’s really a fun game. However, when you get to a level that’s impossible to pass, you become ready to just delete the game. I’ve used all premium ingredients possible on the level, power ups and don’t “lose” any customers. Still can’t even get one star. What’s the point of playing if you can’t progress? Someone needs to look at this game closer and fix these problems quickly.

You’ll Love It and Still Quit Playing

Why? Because it is ridiculous to have sets of 25 levels, each level only allowing you to collect 1-3 tokens, and then require 110 tokens after each set of levels. Again, why? Because even if you get a 3-star rating on each level, which is pretty much impossible once you get in the high hundreds level, it only equals SEVENTY-FIVE tokens. And yeah, I’m aware there’s “goals” to gain anywhere from 10-25 tokens but even the ones that only give you 10 tokens for beating take FOR. EV. ER. At one “restaurant” to win 25 tokens I had to make 250 gingerbread men. The level I found where I was most likely to even make them at all (though it was still no guarantee) allowed me to make 1-5 every time I played. ONE TO FIVE AND I NEEDED 250. Add that to the fact that this game takes lives away every time you play instead of just every time you fail a level and you can understand why this is ridiculous. I love this game, but I don’t want to spend a year of my life just trying to earn tokens so that I can get to the next set of 25 levels after beating the 25 prior. It makes me hate how much I love playing it. And as many complaints as I’ve read about this you’d think the creators would’ve made it more manageable by now.

So many glitches

I’ve played this game off and on for years. Most recently, I’m noticing a ton of glitches in the game though that are making it frustrating and nearly unplayable. I’m updated to the most recent version of the app and my phone’s software. However, there are times I’ll tap a customer to serve their order, but the main menu (pause screen) will pop up. Sometimes it will correct itself after 2-3 attempts, sometimes it won’t and I’ll lose the customer because I simply can’t tap on them even though they’re clearly there. I’ve also noticed issues where I’ll have customers show up after the time has run out or the limit has been reached. Sometimes the game will allow me to serve these customers, sometimes it won’t. There are also times where the level will end on its own even though I still have 3+ customers left to serve who all have 3+ stars remaining and I’m actively working on their dishes. Most recently, I was close to achieving 3 stars for a level, and the level ended itself when I still had 3 customers remaining. Their dishes were almost completed and I think I was close enough to the goal that their dishes would have allowed me to get 3 stars. These glitches don’t happen every time I play, but I would say I’m noticing them more often now. Maybe 1 out of every 3 levels.
