Papa's Paleteria To Go!

I love basically all Papa’s cooking games. They have become a core part of my personality. Papa’s Paleteria offers the same charm and feel as all others, but the newest features added (namely the food truck) along with the much smoother graphics and gameplay make this one of the best mobile cooking games on the market. That said, in the context of other Papa’s games, the Paleteria gets a bit lost in the sauce. I’ve noticed as the quality of the newest games increase, so too does the difficulty (especially my personal favorite, Papa’s Mocharia), with time management playing a big role in perfecting each order. In this game, however, there seems to be an abundance of time. Half of each game day is spent holding down the booster button. Because the game is so simple, it can be become really easy, really fast. Decreasing the amount of time between orders would greatly improve the experience, as instead of holding down a booster half the time, I could have more to do in a shorter amount of time—this keeps me interested! i realize i am above the age demographic for Papa’s cooking games now (I am a 19 year old college student), but all other Papa’s games have held my interest since elementary school. Paleteria would be no different as long as the pacing was tweaked. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope this helpful in some way. TLDR: great game, pacing issues

It’s nice to see the Papa’s games continue to evolve with new ideas while still keeping the lovable gameplay loop. I will say the Paletta building is a little odd with how there’s not much room to multitask in what feels like a meaningful way, but it’s still fun! And while the free play isn’t something I mess with too much, I’m really happy the feature exists, especially to allow mixing and matching of different holiday ingridients. I think that something both the future games and future ports could benefit from is a challenge mode, maybe an endless mode of sorts, where you have to keep on playing until you get a bad score, being balanced with a closer every 7th guest. It could also allow for multiple if not all of the specials being in play, as they are fairly clear what is on them and that visual clarity means juggling multiple could be possible. I also think that the cast of customers could benefit from some disability rep. It would be really neat to a character in a wheelchair, prosthetic limbs, or even a walking cane.

I say this one is one of my favs cause you get to make and popsicles. I know I read the reviews for people saying things about the topping section, but I think it’s just fine. When I aim for getting a perfect score on the toppings section, I get a point off for it being a “tiny” bit off, but sometimes I don’t even try to get a perfect score and they give me a perfect score anyway. It’s also kinda pointless to look at the score details if you get a 99 on the build cause it’s gonna say the same things: (topping(s)) was an angle off but I’m fully aware of why I got a 99 on the build but I’m ok with it cause I get a lot of perfects as well. I highly recommend this game if you love papa’s game and love popsicles 🍦🩷 Edit: the reason why the topping section is so strict about the angling is because this game is very simple and only features a few steps and the creators have to put the challenge somewhere or the only thing you'll be getting is 100% all the time. I mean it makes sense cause I expect all these games to have a challenge somewhere whether it be the build/topping stations (Paleteria, Pastaria, bakeria, etc.) or in the waiting (all the ones with bad graphics taco mia, freezeria, hot dog, and the cupcake one) I don’t expect to get 100% all the time on my orders but I expect the customers to be satisfied with their order.
