After completing all of the standard worlds included in the location pass (15 unique worlds at the time of writing this) then it loops back through them. It gets buggy after this point with names not displaying correctly and lags a lot more than it usually does for the earlier levels. The gameplay loop also becomes very stale and repetitive since it’s the exact same process for every world and nothing feels different or unique besides the art styles. (*You go through 7 different places in each world, that all start off with small menus that work up to the same amount of new and reused foods throughout) I also don’t recommend this game because it cost A LOT to make progress after world 15 and it just feels especially slow and tedious without spending money. ** I spent $25 to not only remove all ads but to also double income boost. It’s just not worth the time or money when you could get more variety in menus and locations without spending money on a different idle restaurant game.
I really love this game and admittedly, I have made a few in-app purchases… But Ive gotten to the last world and I was hoping that it would let you replay all of the restaurants you already completed, however it does not. It just leaves you in mariana trench kitchen purgatory. I want to keep playing but I like literally cannot, there is nothing to do unless there’s a planet event. Please pleaaaase make it so you can replay worlds!
As mentioned, this is similar in game play to Treeplla studio’s idle game titled, “Cat Snackbar.” The graphics are cute and different but unless they plan to introduce events at a later date, there is little replay value imo at least in comparison to its twin brother. I will compliment that this game has fewer promos cluttering the margins of the screen than Cat Snackbar or Out!ouds other game, Idle Pet Shelter. I do think that $20 to remove adds is an outrageous demand but I never purchase to remove ads anyway. There doesn’t appear to be forced ads but there are many ads to progress the game at a more reasonable pace or to exchange for other rewards. I feel the game lacks free customization that would encourage players to share the game with friends although, there are rewards for inviting friends specifically. It just is missing some level of originality to make me want to keep it downloaded on my phone over the competitor. I would only recommend this over Cat Snackbar if you prefer frogs more than cats. This isn’t to say this is a bad game. It simply lacks entertainment value. I am hopeful that in future updates it may be a game with a more unique identity but at the moment, it very much is synonymous to Cat Snackbar in almost every way.
