- [R1] Cooking Craze Too slow, non responsive: There is so much going on that this game has become one of the slowest, most unresponsive games. When ‘bonuses’ are offered, the time to move from one step to another wastes bonus time. No longer enjoyable to young players and often simply closes.
- [R2] Cooking Craze Love game, need more levels: I’ve been playing this game for years now. And I’m upset that after all this time they still have not updated with more levels. I don’t want to go back a play the same cities and levels I’ve already beat.
- [R3] Cooking Craze ADS ADS ADS: bruh the ads are ridiculous. It’s every other play attempt. I get watching an ad to get 30 seconds of playtime to complete a level, but I don’t get the ads every other time you complete a level. It’s deterring me from the game honestly. I tried to look to PAY for an ad free version and I don’t see it.
- [R4] Cooking Craze Keeps crashing: I love this game and I don’t write much reviews. But it crashed every 10-15 minutes and then ads pop up that you did not press. The bugs need to be fixed or will be deleting game soon
- [R15] Sushi Roll 3D Too many ads: The game is good and I like the game play but I seriously hate the amount of ads. If you want to unlock something it’s an ad which is normal but if you decline the new offer they still make you watch an it during or after every meal/plating. Sometimes you’ll get a vip and you have to watch an ad to continue, there’s no skipping the ads unless you pay and I’m not down for that.
- [R16] Sushi Roll 3D ... Kinda: Ok this game is really good but there's tooooo many adds and I'm only ten and I have 180 dollors bit it's not on my tablet so I can't buy no adds but e ∧_∧ (*・∀・*) ★*。:゚*〇☆〇*゚:。:*★ ☆。*・:+*゚ ゚*+:・*。☆ THANK YOU ・*・゚゚゚゚・*・゚゚゚゚・*☆・*
- [R17] Sushi Roll 3D This is really satisfying: This game is actually really satisfying, but when I realized that the ad down from a different game, I was playing it cockroaches in the sushi so it’s not so bad. I don’t really like it but it’s still satisfying.
- [R18] Sushi Roll 3D Bad.: Too many ads, and low quality
- [R29] Cookingdom Cooking: Well, I’d not really like it because when I had a lot of minutes left, I started like cooking and I finished and then it said that I was wrong and I did not get it right basically like they said that I ran out of time and I did not run out of time
- [R30] Cookingdom Love this game!!: Really fun, but please make the timer a tad bit longer
- [R31] Cookingdom The recipes: All of the recipes are in progress every time I try to do anything. It is constantly annoying because I am accumulating many of the passes and I can't even use them so please fix and that may make my review change. Thanks for curating this game as it is very fun but too many ads are also a problem. Have a blessed day!
- [R32] Cookingdom Really fun game but far too many bugs.: I have been playing this game for almost a year and genuinely enjoy the game so much. It may be one of the best cooking games I’ve played, with all that being said technical issues become more frequently frustrating as you play the game. The game tends to freeze or bug out in the middle of a level, which tends to mess with the progress you’ve made. A lot of
- [R21] Sushi Roll 3D Too many ads: The ads consume the game making it impossible to play. I would say this game isn’t with the trouble
- [R23] Sushi Roll 3D Not that good but goot: The game is rielly fun is just so many adds i do not understand why every single time I click on next poof add sooo annoying 😞😞 if you cant even stand 17 adds in 1 customer i do not recommend you downloading this game enlas u really whant to
- [R8] Cooking Craze I love this!: I want to thank this game for literally existing. It is the OG cooking game and nothing else can top it. My whole family plays this game and we’ve gotten so far into it! The thing is I miss when it was completely offline and you didn’t need wifi to just play :( pls bring it back somehow!!!! It’s vibes are just great and I could play this all day! Just one problem though, this only ha
- [R5] Cooking Craze Love the game BUT: I have played this game since it first came out. I do love it….But if you don’t buy booster and spoons, it’s nearly impossible to beat some levels. I may stop playing due to the fact I have spent soooooooo much money to play this game. Can’t afford it anymore smh
- [R6] Cooking Craze Cooking Craze madness!: This cooking game is fun, addictive, and enjoyable to play, but unfortunately it also feels very unfair at times. The biggest issue is that the game seems designed to make winning nearly impossible without spending money on spoons. It often feels like players are being forced into purchases just to progress. If players found ways to gain an advantage on their own, they'd l
- [R9] Cooking Craze Greedy: I love this game, but they purposely make the levels unattainable to make you pay for stuff. Even if you do everything right, you won’t win. If you have to serve 15 people to win, only 14 people will show up. I don’t mind spending money on a game, but it’s becoming stressful and unenjoyable. I’m looking for other games
- [R11] Cooking Craze This cooking has made me craze: I like this game because it’s fun, but they make it where you will have to spend money for spoons a lot. Unless you have a lot of patience and don’t mind waiting a while for the daily prize everyday until you have what you need.
