App Profile: Cats & Soup : Magic Recipe

The app itself is actually magical; barely any ads, cute cats and characters, easy to play, gets you addicted once you join. It's easy to merge and it's great that there's no specific number of moves (like other games). Although the energy technically counts as "moves", they recharge fast, and you just need to collect them over time, which is also easy. Besides, it saves wher you left off so you can collect energy and continue! I love that the cats have personalities and if you pay attention, they actually act accordingly to their personalities. Some (mostly unserious) suggestions are you can "merge" the cats by paying with gems or something(basically just breeding I guess, just thought of it since this is mostly a merging game) and also be able to pick up the cats, just because that would be cute. Overall a great and cute game, I highly recommend!

As much as I loveeee this game, it feels extremely pay-to-win heavy, especially after this last update. I completely get that developers need to make money. But it’s frustrating only getting 10 minutes of play time a day, because the ingredients you need are so rare that it takes so long to even get what you need to progress. On top of this, the events are impossible to complete without buying more energy with real life money. I will never get the large event award simply due to the fact that the event ingredients are worth so little experience, and it only gives me ingredients that are just like, impossible to get. I think this game just needs better optimization, and a better chance to do well without having to spend real life money. I am a huge critic of its new buddy call system. I didn’t know this would turn into a gacha game. The call system is incredibly inflated too, having to pull 115 times (each costing 50 gems) to even get SOMETHING that isn’t useless. I shouldn’t be spending 50 gems to get 100 coins or a singular auto merge that I will never use. Overall I hope this game can lean more into the game side that it had before this last update rather than a micro transaction scheme. I genuinely loved this game before this update.

I’ve literally used like at minimum 4000 dream energy for the goddam event and not a single nightmare has dropped, the drop rate for them is so LOW it’s actually mind boggling and it’s genuinely getting to the point of making me not wanting to continue playing this game if this is how all events are in the foreseeable future, like at this point fix the drop rate of the nightmare AND whale because i’ve seen tons and TONS of people complain about that too or remove them all together from the event (Because from the looks of it everyone’s list is always asking for nightmares and whales for 50% or more of the list and it’s putting us all in a standstill unable to progress AT ALL) or give us a SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT of dream energy because from the rate i’m seeing it’s going to take players 100K+ dream energy to get even ONE freaking nightmare/ whale drop. Y’all cannot say the drop rate isn’t cooked because the fairy wings and dragon eggs/shells are SIGNIFICANTLY easier to get and the same event rewards as the nightmare and whale YET ITS NEVER ON OUR LIST ALSO, I’ve seen plenty people complain about having too many fairy wings or dragon items but not getting them for their list whatsoever so that needs to be fixed ALSO. Like SERIOUSLY!!! Genuinely it’s making me not want to come back to this game whatsoever.
