It’s pretty fun with a few problems
Thu Jun 02 2022 cherry blossenSo I like this game but there are a couple problems like I stated at the top. Such as boiling! I play on mobile and it is practically impossible. Also frying I believe works like that and it is practically impossible if you’re using touch controls! Also there are a few bugs. Sometimes the judges say that my meats are not cooked enough and that it could be better. 😦. Also when I get everything 😁Perfect😁 which rarely happens lol 😂. It says it could be better even when I get all of there requests done! I hope you read this Devs! WAIT I’m not finished so also I think there should be more content like idk maybe a way you can play with your friends instead of online maybe you can invite up to *thinking of how many players in each game* I believe it is six so yeah you can invite up to six friends and if it is not full you can Either try to queue with others or play with CPUs. I hope you red and took in my ideas sincerely, Agent Mera Alien 👽! LOVE THIS GAME THOUGH🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Fun but could be better
Tue Jul 12 2022 6filthyyyIt's a fun game but I believe it could be a lot better. For starters, if there was an option to play with actual people as well as invite friends to play with you. Some of the cooking features won't allow you to get any better than "Good" such as the rolling pizza dough out & sometimes the boiling (which can be frustrating because sometimes it won't allow you to change the temp at first or you'll get stuck trying to turn it up but it will be too late and it'll boil over). There is a glitch in the game for the "Prime Day" feature as well that when you're on your last ticket and you play the first match - even if you win, it won't allow you to play again because it claims you've ran out of tix even though you're using your last one. It sometimes will allow me to get past the first match but not the second and so on. Also, I believe it's not even about whose cooking techniques are better as it seems that this is all about timing for the regular play feature. No matter how many steps I'll hit "Incredible" with if I come in last I lose. Whereas when I play Prime Day I can take my time and usually get Incredible for majority of steps and always win even if I come in dead last. Overall it has great potential to be a better game; I think these are very significant changes that would be great to add to do just that!
some aprons give your avatar boobs
Thu Dec 23 2021 MixterVEEi downloaded this game so that i could play a cooking game and also dress up an avatar at the same time . and i did this weekly box thing to get this cool fish apron!!! at least i thought it was cool then when i put it on my avatar it gave me boobs like i don't want this??? i want my avatar to be androgynous WHY would you change the body shape for some clothing items?? there is no gender option but if you are gonna put boobs in your clothes please let me choose male so i can wear fun clothes but with a flat chest. i've really looked everywhere for a gender option and i can't find one but my character only gets boobs with this apron. i want the fish apron grrrrrrr
i was wary in downloading this game cause of some of the reviews (lag, hard to get first place) but honestly this has been the most frustrating part for me, prolly cause i really wanted a game that is avatar based. apple arcade needs more games with customizable avatars/characters !!!!
the cooking part is okay but if you are gonna do the whole avatar thing do it right, don't make clothing change body shape, give gender options instead please like wow that's so basic for an avatar system, you have skinny and thicc but not genders?? i'm nonbinary so it's great when there is an nb option but honestly male works fine so if you at least had male and female that would be fine. it looks like some of the locked aprons have boobs too and i'm like why ....
Several Bugs
Wed Sep 27 2023 lil gooniesSince the last major update, I feel like the game has had major problems. There are so many bugs it is hard to keep track of but here are a couple I have noticed:
1. For the daily challenges, sometimes the judges requests are for the previous version where they ask that you meet 3 of the battle requirements. This is annoying since it is impossible to meet the judge request with the new update since you pick the recipe instead of choosing ingredients like before.
2. For stamps requirement and some judge requirements, there are a lot of achievements that are not registered. For example, for the finish first in Prime Time 10 times, no matter how many times I finish first none of the wins register and it states I have zero. Another example is the make 10 butcher cuts recipeso, none of the recipes under Butcher’s Cuts register but somehow the Veal Marengo does even though it’s under Stews (and it doesn’t register as a stew recipe for stamps!
3. I had a majority of the recipes at the max level, but with the update most of these are back to level 1. This is frustrating because it is so hard to upgrade recipes especially with the new recipes.
Overall, while I do enjoy the new recipes and activities, there are a lot of kinks that need to be worked out which makes it difficult to enjoy the game fully.
The Boiling Technique
Sat Jun 04 2022 CaramelQu33nI downloaded the app even after reading some reviews as I found the game intriguing.
Pros: It’s enjoyable and there is always a reward to be claimed even if it’s just experience points to level you up. The customizable outfits, utensils, and leveling up the ingredients are a great touch. The colors and the aesthetic of the game is so cool. I love cooking games and appreciate not having to turn my phone sideways as well as no ad spam everyone a match is over! Prime Time was a great addition.
Cons: The boiling technique. Oh my gosh it’s aggravating. I just don’t get it. Lower the heat to follow the green for too long and the food doesn’t cook, don’t follow the green and boil the food, but then it boils over?! It’s almost impossible to get good or impressive when boiling. Hope that gets fixed soon. Needing to unlock new recipes?! Good luck with that. Seems like the only time I discover new recipes is when I play Prime Time. What’s up with that?! Let’s say I want to experiment, so I grab bacon first to see what else I can make with it? Everything else is automatically locked except pizza dough or pasta, so it’s like… oh, that dish again?! 😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨 I am not really sure what to suggest as far as an alternative way to unlock new recipes but get someone on that stat! 👌🏽
Fun game but a lot of the features don’t work for me.
Sun Aug 13 2023 EvnigmonsterI like the game, but a lot of it doesn’t work for me. i have an iPhone 13 running on the latest ios version. after i finish cooking against other players, it just leaves me at the end of the cooking screen with no way to get out or move on. so i tried the cooking corner, to cook alone. but then when trying to get the ingredients out of the drawers, it just stopped. an arrow was telling me to swipe up (i guess? It wasn’t very clear) but doing so did nothing and i was once again stuck on the screen with quitting being the only way to get out of it. it’s a fun game when it actually works. but in the 30 minutes i played, i was able to complete 2 out of 6 things i tried. the other 4 seemed to leave me at a screen where nothing could be done.
EDIT: now i’ve also tried to do the Prime Time game/event thing. i got to the recipe right before the final one, came in first for the four prior recipes. then boom, i’m stuck on a screen that just shows that everyone else is working on the recipe and i can’t do anything. can’t start, can’t continue. can’t do anything but force close the app or click “quit”. it’s rare i leave a review or delete a game bc it’s not playable for me. but this game just isn’t. it’s great fun when you can actually continue and play, but most of the time i can’t.
What’s the point in a review of the creators don’t listen to them?
Fri Mar 25 2022 Just update it!I will say exactly what I said in the title of this review……What’s the point in a review of the creators don’t listen to them? But here I go anyways!
Anyhow, I love the concept of this game and it’s fun to cure some boredom. But this game is glitched, rigged, and has many issues. For starters, the oven stop button disappears causing you to burn food and fail, sometimes you aren’t given enough ingredients to make a dish forcing you to quit, you’re definitely not playing with real people as it seems to advertise, sometimes the game simply stops loading, this also feels more like a race to finish before others more than perfecting and making great food…….and on top of those things you can only earn so many food boxes a day which doesn’t help you upgrade your earned recipes. The two most aggravating issues for me is that…. 1 your not playing with real people and that makes it fun 🙄…. and 2 the oven button disappears all the flippen time causing you to fail even when you have done your BEST at the rest of the meal which is INFURIATING! It’s rigged! I’ll be happy to change this review to 5 stars ⭐️ if the creators would do an update that people actually want. 🤷🏼♀️
Yes and…
Mon Jun 20 2022 Pooka PieBased on mobile experience on iPhone 12 Pro Max on latest iOS a/o June 2022:
1) Rolling technique doesn’t seem to generate any score other than good no matter what you do (fast, slow, staccato, fluid, harsh, smooth, on tempo, off tempo. all efforts have generated the exact same result every time)
2) Primetime doesn’t actually allow for use of all 3 tickets/attempts. If you fail one of the individual heaps of a attempt but have remaining tickets, the ability to use the tickets to start over for a new attempt is not available. If you win all heaps to earn the gold box twice (using two tickets) the third attempt doesn’t allow you to play past the initial heap, even when you win, and presents a message that all tickets have used even though your using the final ticket at that time.
3) Certain ingredients seem to be limited, or not awarded equally. I’ve maxed out all recipes except for those with vanilla and oranges but I’m consistently awarded ingredients that are not vanilla or oranges. Although I’m completing challenges and opening prize boxes, the lack of being awarded necessary ingredients limits my progress.
Should be 5 🌟
Fri May 13 2022 DaleJr88FanaticRecent update has me confused… previously boiling food was easy, the change with how to boil just isn’t working. Trying to keep the line centered on green is nearly impossible and nearly every time now the food boils over!! Is there a catch to do this because right now it’s not working!!
Original review: First off, I love this game! I didn’t s lot of time changing the stars because of the glitches. When placing items in oven the Stop button disappears and you can’t do anything causing food to burn. Also when stiring ingredients it glitches causing me to lose stars. I finally landed on 4🌟’s (almost went with 3) because I love the game and works more than it doesn’t. But I also wish more levels were added a lot more frequently along with updates and I’m not getting any of the missing Outfits and Utensils I’m still missing. Please add more levels, dishes, customizations and Utensils soon i don’t want to waste time on finding another game! I could play this for hours that’s how entertaining it is!
This game is OK
Thu Jan 27 2022 Wetrooster18It’s fun yes. But I KNOW that your advertising on playing with people across the world is bogus. I’ve played long enough to realize it. The game is programmed to not let you get past a certain point if your recipes aren’t leveled up enough. Doesn’t matter how fast you finish. The game knows exactly what everyone’s score is even if you finished first and are way ahead? I watched the race as I was cooking and saw an opponent jump from the first to the last step. Just skipped the entire cooking phase onto plating. I sat there and watched how fast I got through something vs how fast someone else gets through the SAME EXACT STEP; you aren’t playing with other people. And just in the sense that we are actually playing with real people, they are cheating. Plain and simple. Boiling something takes time. The opponent and I got to it at the same time. The opponent finished it in exactly half the time that I could. So please. Drop the act on we play vs real people. Because we DON’T! And if we actually do, fix your game so they don’t and can’t cheat anymore because it is unfair for the rest of us.
