i'm absolutely obsessed with this game. the optional ads are fantastic, and i love that it gives you a ton of different recipes. as someone that grew up without many food options it gives me new ideas of what to cook in my daily adult life! that's initially why i downloaded it, and 6 months in and i've maxxed out everything! i'd love to see a way to remove recipes from your resturant's menu. sometimes i get tired of cooking certain recipes. i'd also love more ways to decorate the resturant exterior & interior, and ways to interact with the customers! (ex: if their thought bubbles have the clock, their order is easy to make or something!) i'd also love an upgrade that slows down the clock, it'd be cool to take more than one table's orders if that upgrade is in place!! currently my only cons are, it's tedious to scroll back and forth to get ingredients you can't reach. i do zoom out but often there's a misclick. i wish there was some kind of drawer that has 4 or so slots to easily swap out items you use alot that day. also, the ingredients merging system is a little slow/finicky sometimes. all in all, it's been my #1 phone game for months. i love ingredient shopping, i love all the avaliable upgrades, and i LOVE the pixel style!! please take care and take your time, i will be here waiting :D this game deserves to be so popular!
It's a little too slow and rather easy for me. The optional ads for helpful mechanics aren't overbearing or too long. Even if you run out of money for ingredients you can watch a usually interactive ad to get more money. There's so many dishes that memorizing all those recipes is awfully difficult so I kept having to go to the menu to check which wastes time in the day meaning less customers and less income but still, run out of money? Watch an ad! (*EDIT as per developer response, I learned the in game time actually pauses while you're in the menu so that portion is now a moot point. However it is still a bit annoying to always have to go to the menu and scroll through the oh so many dishes to find the one you're looking for. Perhaps a search feature could be helpful.) You could use all the time it takes those customers to eat to do some shopping but you don't know what recipe is coming next and are limited on storage space and if left on the counter they'll spoil by morning. But again, in a sore spot? Watch an ad! Want someone to do the shopping for you? Ad! Want someone to set up your ingredients for you? Ad! What's really left for me to do then? You could always not watch the ads day by day I suppose and not get the extra help but I just didn't feel compelled enough to make the game more difficult. Overall, not engaging enough for me, unfortunately.
It takes a truly wonderful game for me to write a review. Kitchen Craft has exceeded my expectations! I feel so lucky to have found this hidden gem of a game. As a mobile gamer who likes to sit back and relax with a game, I truly appreciate the lack of “forced” advertising. The way the developer(s) have implemented their advertising is very smart. I love the option to watch advertisements for in-game rewards. As for the game-play itself, I am truly in love! I love discovering new recipes and cooking everything. I also love the options to hire a sous-chef or even use the auto-chef! The courier is also a huge help, however, I also love shopping in the supermarket! I am so excited to progress further in the game and discover more. Keep up the great work developer(s)! I hope this game becomes more popular with time. It definitely deserves to be more widely known. Good luck!
