  1. [R2] Perfect Cream 5/5 · GB Very good game! Would recommend: This game is very satisfying and calm. There aren’t ads every 10 seconds, which is nice! I do feel the levels are quite short, and more customisation for your shop would be nice. Overall, would recommend. 👍
  2. [R4] Perfect Cream 1/5 · GB Boring: It is fun but all you do is tap your screen and it gates boring
  3. [R5] Perfect Cream 4/5 · GB Amazing!!!! But…: So this game is like amazing, I love, love it !!! Honestly it is the best!!!! If you love satisfying noises and cool animation than this is the game for you!!!! The one problem is I’ve been playing for a while and sometimes there will be extra bits in the game (eg: flash cards or chests to unlock) When I do the flash cards I keep my eye on the flash card with the ‘best prize’ I’
  4. [R6] Perfect Cream 3/5 · GB Not sure 🫤: I love all the creams and choices but it doesn’t have much background effect and also the cafe doesn’t make it that you can move around and serve orders all you can do is upgrade it sometimes I feel if it’s a waste of time and the amount of adds is ridiculous.So I’m not sure if I really like it?
  5. [R8] Perfect Cream 5/5 · GB So satisfying: This game is really satisfying, but you don’t get the cream on perfectly well it is still satisfying though download it is fun really fun makes me happy😃

  11. [R9] Perfect Cream 3/5 · GB Very satisfying…but: I’ve recently come back to this game and it is just as satisfying as I remember. The only problem is there is a lot of ads, every time I complete a level there is an ad but apart from that it is a great game!
  12. [R32] Perfect Cream 4/5 · GB Great, but…: I love this game! It’s really relaxing and satisfying. However my only criticism is that opening it causes other music apps to close down. (Spotify in my case) I’d love to be able to play this game whilst listening to my own music, so if there was an update that stopped the app stopping the music playing, that would be fab!
  13. [R42] Perfect Cream 5/5 · GB This game is sooooooo good: I really like this game cos you need to make the cream perfect.

  18. [R41] Perfect Cream 1/5 · GB Age inappropriate adverts: Three adverts in 30 seconds for betting this is shocking an inappropriate for the ages this game is rated at.
  19. [R61] Dessert DIY 2/5 · US Inappropriate: I downloaded this game and it got inappropriate so I deleted it. So remove it from the App Store because if a little kid plays this beside the Parent/Guardian they are going to delete it and then they will get a learning game for the kid which is way better than this game!😡
