Favorite merge game
Thu Jan 29 2026 Peanut_2011

I have tried a ton of cooking merge-style games. This one has become my favorite! I love the clear graphics and cartoon style, it’s not clunky and challenges are satisfying. If I had to give any feedback at all, it would be to incorporate a few things I’ve seen in other games: 1) take the equipment sounds off the continuous loop, so that you don’t have to click another item on the board to stop it, 2) when you have a lot of excess energy, allowing for an optional booster to get higher value pieces for more energy spent, and 3) not showing the finished versions of the restaurants before completing renovations. It makes the remodels more satisfying when you only see the finished product after doing the work. I 100% recommend the game, but these few things would make gameplay near perfect. Thanks for the consideration!!

Impossible unless you pay!
Sun May 10 2026 Sandie'sFirst

It's too bad that this game could be a lot of fun but unfortunately the matches are way too repetitive and keep you circling back over and over to finally reach a match but that isn't even the real negative about this game. I have had only 1 match to go and have attempted to come back after the energy times out within just about a minute and only creating about 5 to 6 items each time so unless you pay your way out you will be stuck for days attempting to get that last match. It becomes a real waste of time and for sure NOT fun anymore when the only way to continue for even just a short duration is pay to play. It just feels like extortion. I have paid but after acouole times seeing the way this operates I refuse to pay just to make a few more moves. With that said I would recommend finding another match game. This one is just too greedy and you can find many other options that are not as extreme as this one! Update: response from developer was positive and sincere. They are looking to improve the game so that other options are available than having to purchase your way through. I look forward to giving more stars when they do. The game is fun and although it’s a pain not getting very far very fast without making purchases I am still playing it because I really like the game. I appreciate the developers response and look forward to them following through with some changes to give this game 5 stars!

It’s pointless
Tue Jun 09 2026 cookye81

Playing this game was good to start . The issue comes in in to when you have to upgrade to get the ingredients on different levels it should be a way to make more energy faster . Why do I have to wait 30 min to an hour for my energy to charge up just to only be able to get half of the things I need to get one or the two things I have to make to get the ingredient I need to make the dish . I don’t want to have to spend money to play games all the time . It don’t make sense. At all it definitely needs to be more ways to make energy outside of buying it ..maybe turn ingredients you don’t need on the table into energy,make a game to build energy out side of the ones you have which only lets to get coins . You get coins faster than energy to actually play the game . I was thinking of deleting it but I said maybe as you go up higher it does let you get more energy but it doesn’t it the same 100 when you actually need 400 to make one of an ingredient you need smh it’s considered a waste of time to me

Annoying hand
Fri Mar 27 2026 Queenk888

I like the game but, I am on level 55 and there is a hand that keeps telling me what to do and its so annoying, I’ve turned of hints and I’m far past the tutorial so idk why it keeps popping up. I’ve played almost every merge game on the App Store and I like this one but energy is definitely a problem I only get like 2 min of gameplay every now and again and the higher the level, the more complicated the orders get. This causes me to take days to finish orders. Also every time I level up I should get 100 energy the prizes in this game are bad and doesn’t help at all and the good prizes are behind a pay wall🫤.This game is like flambé but I actually like this one better. I hope for better updates for this game! Reply to developer- As I stated in my original review I was in level 55 way past level 7 and the hand/glove is still there. Now I am on level 65 and it is still an issue. Its makes me not want to play anymore as it tells me what to do. Might delete 🫤

Fun, but the charge on producing items runs out so fast
Sun Jul 05 2026 Gothclowns

I enjoy this game, but it takes so long to get to high level items. I wouldn’t mind that so much if the production items would yield more items per charge, especially the boats. Even if I recharge with gems, I get 10 or less items out of it and have to pay or wait a whole hour for production to be available again. The recharge time is too long, as well as not yielding enough items. I have a hard time keeping up on orders to win events like the Burger Showdown because of this. I wish the showdown would end when I lose to the person who finishes their stack first. The game forces you to continue building your burger until you finish your stack, but I’ve already lost and gotten second place anyways do what’s the point of that? OR I wish there was an option to wait to start the showdown because by the time I finish the burger I am out of energy. That would make playing more enjoyable.

Entertaining
Thu Feb 12 2026 bradyallie

I am playing this and another game much like it and I find this much more enjoyable. I believe it is because of the layout, which is more pleasing, but I don’t know why. I am an older adult so I will add that there is a slightly frustrating amount of explanation at the beginning. I’d like to have the opportunity to opt-out, having done these games for a long time. Also, would like to see a place to turn “clues” on and off. I do these games to help my brain and *searching* for the match is the biggest part of that. Otherwise, I think the esthetic is cute for young children and okay for older people. There are plenty of different side games to keep me on the app until I can regain energy. I like it. Update: thank you that helps tremendously

I did enjoy this game up until you started messing with the algorithms, the energies you were able to play a decent amount of moves, then when I got farther up the levels, it started manipulation where I could only play five pieces and then I had to re-energize, which means you’re waiting for a half hour to an hour to be able to play that food category I even spent $ (a lot) and that didn’t improve the ratio of moves. I’m not paying $5 and make 6 moves only to recharge again. I had 300 moves to get 2 items and I’m down to 67 moves and have only achieved one of the item. That’s ridiculous. It’s supposed to relax me not irritate me. PS: I understand mixing other items in the same category but why would you mix pasta with the numbers? It makes no sense. For the most part I end up deleting most the pasta because I have no need for it.

Beautiful graphics, but hard to increase levels after a while
Wed Jul 08 2026 Stanford Princess

I’ve been playing this game every day for over a month, usually around two hours a day, and I’m currently on level 41. I have to say, the graphics are beautiful and that’s one of the main reasons I’ve kept playing. Unfortunately, once you reach the higher levels, the game becomes frustrating. Filling a single order can take hundreds of energy points, so if I’m lucky, I can only complete one order a day. Progress slows to a crawl. The orders have also become very repetitive. I was hoping that reaching higher levels would unlock new and more interesting menu items, but instead it’s just the same foods over and over again. Adding fresh recipes or new challenges would make the game much more enjoyable and give players a reason to keep progressing.
