  1. [R1] Hello Kitty Lunchbox 1/5 · GB THIS IS A GREEDY GAME: Listen, why are there only 2 free recipes that we can make? That’s very unfair in my opinion. We have to waste £7 just to unlock everything for just a month. Kids would beg their parents for unlock everything in this fricking game, then father a month, it goes, then the child cries because the parent wouldn’t buy another one. It’s not just in this game, it’s also in other Bu

  7. [R6] Hello Kitty Lunchbox 3/5 · GB Cute game!!: This game is nice and all but I wish there would be just a bit more options to do, I know that still you can do different customisations of the food and lunchboxes etc, but still maybe just 3 or 4 options to make food with would be nice.
