I've played a lot of these games, and this is the most money hungry game I've played yet. Absolutely ridiculous. I almost always buy the golden ticket in games for the extra bonuses. Yesterday it wanted almost $15 and today, for some reason, it wants $12. They cheat you out of level rewards for each level unless you have the golden ticket. It takes ages to progress because all of the upgrades are too expensive. Seriously, don't bother with this one. It's the worst one I've tried.

Played only for 1 minute of the game, which was the tutorial, and immediately turned off about the fact that gems have to be used so early in the game. First time I've experienced that in a cooking game. And, playing games like these usually take a while to earn gems. Might wanna take a step back on that or 2...or 3. Everything else looked good and a little unique though. But I may not play this again due to the fact that it may be too grindy for me.

Game was good, until I got to the English tea room, level 44,which I have been stuck on forever. I spent money to pass this level, passed it then the game froze on me, I then went out came back, in and it wants me to do the level again. Tried to reach someone and couldn't. I'm thinking about uninstalling this game ,and the support button in the game doesn't work after you fill out the form,and try to send, and press the send button it doesn't work
