Great concept

As a gamer this game is a great pastime tycoon. As a developer, this game is appalling. The click farming this game offers requires you to disable your internet to play. Ads appear way too often. Requiring a delay to skip purchase offer screens with the clean bot and it being positioned next to the trash can is a really bad look. Stoping on boosts automatically pulls a delayed skip. Covering up upgrade buttons with an ad button that says “free”. You’ll spend time which is money to get a quicker pace in the beginning and trying to upgrade tables requires ads to move forward at some point. There are more than 12 tables and each ad is approximately 12s - 30s long, simple math and there are plenty more tables than that. Requiring a network connection to open the map doesn’t even make sense and eventually require ads to further upgrade yourself and employees. Huge turn off. Have fun farming 😃 Worth 2 stars. Remove the excessive ads, 4 stars. Remove all adds, 5 stars. Poor development choices lead to less gameplay and more time spent on ads.

Pretty much like the ad, but…

The ads are INSANE in this game! I didn’t even play 5 minutes of this game before I closed it and deleted it. I had to watch 3 ads within that time. Two that just popped up as I was playing (which will make me hate a game instantly because it completely interrupts gameplay) and then another ad for when I clicked on something I didn’t realize would bring up an ad. Two of the ads were over a minute long, both had me click in multiple places all over the screen to close them. And the game gave me gems to skip exactly 1 ad, but they were used up quickly because of a 4th ad get a boost before I even knew what was happening. Then, I quickly got an ad to make the game “ad free”. 🙄 I don’t mind paying yo get rid of ads, I even think it’s reasonable for $10 to get rid ads, BUT the problem is that I couldn’t even get a real feel for the game before ads ruined my experience. I couldn’t tell if I liked the game enough, yet, before being bombarded with so many ads. It’s a no, for me, but I will say it’s similar to the ad, so there’s that. That’s what got my 2 stars. It’s a game with so many upgrades and in-game purchases, that you’ll likely be spending either a lot of time (watching ads, don’t know if “ad free” covers that) or spending money on gems to skip ads or buy the upgrades.

Good, but gets more n your nerves!

The game play here is really fun, and the game moves quickly. I don’t even mind the constant ads you can watch to get some of the items for free, but there is a catch. All the ads are pretty much set and work as advertised, but if you see any ads come up for Solitaire Cash, you will have to close the app and reopen it, and you won’t have the upgrade that you were expecting to get be watching the ad. These Solitaire Cash ads come up and just continually cycle and just repeat over and over again. This wouldn’t be a big issue if that set of ads for Solitaire Cash only came up occasionally, but the issue arises from this set of ads being the ones you see the most. Solitaire Cash ads, according to my counts, are popping up at around a 60%-70% clip. This means you are having to close the app and reopen without your upgrade every 6-7 attempts to get a free upgrade. This is unacceptable even for a free game!

Advertisement

I timed each ad on this game and after a few levels of game play, the ads come every 20 seconds and last anywhere from 5-10 seconds each . I spent more time watching and getting rid of ads than I did actually advancing in the game . The game itself is a wonderful time burner BUT it is virtually impossible to advance in this game and the only way to earn diamonds is by paying or watching 30 second advertisements . The “advantages” this game gives are only for a maximum of 3 minutes and requires a 30-45 second ad each time to receive it . There is no advancement for your staff members making the game impossible to keep up with . Once you reach the drink portion of the game, you have to choose between pizza and drinks . Your crew can only carry 1 item at a time where each order is calling for 4-10 pizzas or 3-4 drinks at a time . Loved the idea of this game but I cannot stand the game play or the overwhelming and quite frankly, pointless ads . They also slow down the game each time they play due to no warning when these ads will happen . I understand ads are used for funding but if I have to watch an ad every 20 seconds, this game is obviously costing more money than its worth

Ads yet again ruin otherwise decent game

The state of the ads in this game make it completely unplayable. To actually enjoy the game you will need to buy the ad free package. So the game isn’t actually free, it’s about $9. If you don’t pay that, then you literally receive an intrusive ad every 2 minutes. I played the game for about 20 minutes and encountered probably about 10 ads. And while the game seems like it could be fun, it does not seem to me like a game that is worth $9 just to play. There are other games with smaller price tags that are far better. There is only one positive thing I can say about the game that stopped me from giving it 1 star. The game is exactly like the advertisement that lead me to download it. They were not lying about the gameplay at all in the ads which I really appreciate. I just wish that instead of having an ad every 2 minutes, it would happen every 5 minutes. It’s impossible to get into a flow in the game right now. Update: I just changed my rating to 1 star because it makes no sense to me how this game can have 4+ stars right now when all of the reviews I read were talking about the same problems as me. Like no way the vast majority of people don’t have a problem with the ads/paid the $9.

MAKE LESS ADS

The only reason why I am playing this game is because you can get free webtoon coins from completing stages 2 and 3. How am I supposed to do that if there’s ads every 30 seconds?! I haven’t even gotten to stage 2 because of the constant ads. I know that companies need to make money but please just lower the number of ads like for example, we can choose to watch ads if we want a specific item. Don’t put ads every single second, whenever I’m in the middle of walking an ad pops up. A lot of this game’s one star reviews are because of these ads. If you want to keep your players and rating up, you have to stop giving the players constant ads because it is extremely annoying. I have completely given up trying to get free web coins because of the ads. Reading the reviews, some people are saying they paid for premium and still got ads which makes this game a scam. I do not recommend this game unless you love watching ads. If you play this game, do not pay for anything either because it will most likely be a scam. The part I am most annoyed about is the ads. Get rid of the ads or at least don’t make an ad pop out every 30 seconds.

Good game but… Employees need work

Good game. Lots of ads, but its good for something mindless and easy to do. I play it since its satisfying to complete the levels and upgrade things. It seems good for young kids and people with dexterity issues. My cousin doesn’t have full use of his hands, so he has never really played video games. This is one he is able to do much easier than others! :) Although, there are still some things that need working out. The employees are a pain to deal with. They will fill an area with food and until its max capacity. Then they fill their hands to max capacity and get stuck waiting at the counter. Like 3-4 of them, just sitting there with food in their hands and nothing happening. And others times they are just really chaotic. They finish part of one task and then run to a completely different area. Most of the time they are swapping areas with each other. If you could assign them to task/area, then I think it would solve these issues. Or you could hire them for different roles, like a server or chef.

Average. Add Riddled.

Alright. I’ve played a lot of idle simulation games, and this one is pretty average. The animation is smooth, likely because the characters move at snail pace. I imagine once you get further along in the game, and actually have decent movement speed, the animation probably gets a bit rougher. In addition, adds are rampant, with no way to disable cellular data use to avoid them. There’s banner adds and in-game billboards that run adds (both are non-invasive and don’t bother me all that much), constant streams of offers to watch adds for ‘boosters,’ and an onslaught of random, non-skipable, pop-up video adds. More than that, the game collects some sort of web data from players, and indicates that leaving it on will generate *less* adds. The kicker - it’s on by default and the off switch doesn’t work. I understand that game developers use adds to generate income, and that’s fine. We love free games. But there’s a limit to things. If an individual can’t even play the game due to the number of adds, or having data collected about them, then what’s the point of any of it?
