Cooking Marina - Cooking games

It's become apparent that this game prioritizes money over satisfaction. At first, the game was good. The further you go, the worse it gets. It's not challenging; it's impossible. Level 39 of the Hainan restaurant is actually impossible without using countless gems for powerups or endless customers. I have everything fully upgraded and still cannot get the currency required to pass the FIRST level; I haven't even been able to get to the other two levels. And even after I wasted gems on adding 3 customers, I still didn't get the currency needed... even though I have everything maxed out in the kitchen and in the supply. I've wasted my lives and gems on this one mission, and it seems I can't progress any further. So much for that! It's terrible game design that I have to spend gems on powerups I will only need for this one level instead of winning based on the grinding I did to get enough currency to upgrade everything to all 3 stars. It's obviously a ploy to get me to spend money on gems since they're significantly harder to get than coins. Only giving 2 stars to the game because it was fun for the first couple restaurants. The Hainan restaurant is terrible and overly complicated for the tasks the game asks you to do. The pictures of the ingredients are so small you can easily miss them and it throws off your entire game. If it weren't for the Hainan restaurant being so awful, I'd give this game 4 stars (only deducted a star for the annoying ads that happen after every level... and most levels aren't even 60 seconds long... it's ridiculous to get ads every 60 seconds).

I love this game but I love all cooking games however I hate that they somewhat forces you to buy things in the game. For instance, if I don’t have the money to pay for more time on the timed courses the game will not allow me to watch a video for more time I simply have to lose a life. The button is there to press but no video is ever given. I have been playing this game for months now and I have only had the ability to maybe watch one or two videos for more time of customers. Why have the option if we aren’t allowed to utilize it. I play the game because it’s fun and escape from reality for a second but I’m pushed back to reality early than I want to when I don’t have the money to continue on. It’s fun to play but also can be a head ace when you don’t have the funds to invest, which I don’t feel we should have to do seeing that the creator gets paid from simply us watching the ads anyways, so why take our money too. With no chances of winning our money back.

I was so tired of playing the same old game and then I found this one. This game is seriously addicting and I love it! My only complaint is that the game kind of “does its own thing” sometimes. When I first started playing, it would let me watch ads in order to get more coins, or for free lives when I would run out. Now, it will randomly let me watch ads for additional stuff but it’s happening less and less. I’m not sure why this is but I would love to know how to fix it (which is crazy bc who wants to watch ads?! I’m not that person), because the game is that good!
