It’s fun and generally relaxing, but I found that after a certain point you can tell when levels are made by different people or set up differently. Some levels require you to tap ingredients to remove skin before cutting, others remove skin as you cut. Some want you to preheat skillets, others don’t. My biggest problem is there have been several times that I try to, for example, use a whisk in a bowl, but the game needs very specific inputs for it to work. So it won’t work, I’ll try many other things, the clock continues to tick down, and the fourth or fifth time I try whisking the eggs it finally works, but I now only have twenty seconds to finish the whole recipe. Same goes for cutting ingredients. Sometimes the knife needs to be put on the side of an ingredient rather than the middle, which slows you down. I just want them to tweak inputs so it isn’t so finicky, since you already spend a lot of time trying to figure out the correct order. Fighting controls shouldn’t be possible

So let me start this off by saying it isn’t a bad game. The whole thing is very cute and the vibe is nice. I only have a couple complaints 1. The timer. Adding a timer to anything instantly makes it more stressful. And because of the nature of the recipes sometimes you can’t even afford to make a single mistake or you’ll run out of time. The amount of times I’ve finished with 1 or 2 seconds is crazy. 2. The very particular order things need to be done. This doesn’t just apply to the receipt but also where things are placed. It can be very irritating when you’re trying to place things down but no matter what it isn’t staying. Or when you’re trying to add different seasonings but it isn’t adding because you need to go in a particular order (even though logically it doesn’t matter, they’re seasonings) 3. Learning by failure. This kind of connects to my previous points. Because of the particular order things need to be done in this game (paired with the timer) it seems the only way you’ll be able to beat a level is by failing it first, which is quite frustrating. Now this primarily applies to the longer more complex recipes but because of the very strict order of things you’re pretty much guaranteed to fail the first time you attempt it. Thanks for reading my rant. Still will be playing every level because this game is just too cute.

I honestly don’t even know why it’s a thing the app developers claim it’s a relaxing chill game to play on a Sunday morning with no word of the 3 minute timer it’s such a fun puzzle game when your not worrying about having to finish the meal in 3 minutes which even if you do all the steps perfectly you probably will need to watch a add to get another minute especially since it’s 3minutes for every level no matter the difficulty oh and don’t forget sometimes the adds will glitch & you’ll lose all the progress you made and will have to restart the game For example the crab level you have to catch the crab clean it & cook it with all the right tools they don’t let you know the order which is okay it’s a puzzle game but in that process of finding out which tools to use I ran out of time I had to watch 3 separate adds to get another minute each & on the last add It was nothing but a blank screen so I lost all my progress the hints I got which you have to watch adds for those as well & again to mention all the levels are 3 minutes no matter the difficulties
