Community Insight:
It constantly freezes on level 6 making it impossible to beat.
We love how they have this catchy theme song and how its similar to Emily deliciouss game.
Why isnt this app or welcome to prime rose in the gamehouse app,or its other games missing.
Loving the game so far. The only complaint we have is that customers leave too fast if a table isnt clean in time. Why dont they just move to another thats free like the Emily series? We dont know, we just thought that aspect was unrealistic and unnecessary.
This is a great game. Lots of cooking, a good storyline, and a heroine who isn't whiny, selfish, childish, weak, or wimpy–unlike Angela, Cathy, or Allison! This is one that we enjoy playing over and over. We really hope that GameHouse will make a sequel.
We really enjoyed this game and would love to see more Mary games soon. The sooner the better. But we hope the new games will work on iPad 2.
We love all the gamehouse games, especially all of the cooking ones, yes there are glitches and some are too easy, even when they are on expert or hard, but please don't change the "cooking" aspect to the games, we love to cook so we do inquire about the dishes and things we see in the games, this game helps us to relax, only suggestion is by the time we get down to the last few episodes we're bored and want to see the next venue of the game, so we rush through the stories, we would like to see different venues throughout the storyline, like a soap opera show, we love the cute romances, and the family issues, we love that you have moral values in life lessons, and family cycles of life, keep it up the good work, it only gets better every time, thank you, for helping with our stress.
We love Time management games and we love the games from gamehouse. It is so refreshing to pay a price for a game and play it rather than these so called free games that you cant complete unless you buy stuff. You end up spending so much more. Thank you Gamehouse.
We absolutely love this game and the storyline, it's perfect for traveling as you don't need internet and times goes by so fast!! We love all games from delicious :).
Love it! Great graphics. Worth the money.
Always a pleasure can't wait until the next one.
We like it but the second level when you finish the first 10 levels you have to pay for it would of give it 5 stars but Im not paying for no game during this time.
We think all Gamehouse Delicious games are great and this one was no different. The only thing we don't like about gamehouse is that they make you pay $10 for the rest of the levels.
This is a fun game but if your going to make us pay for it you need more levels.
We found a glitch during the gameplay. It really has to deal with the doors and starting the level: when we were playing a level, we found a strange message before we started. It said stuffed used during the development stages and muted the music which had us confused. We were trying to go to the settings in the start of the level and the music was just fine, but no! We tried over and over but still it did not work. This also happened with the doors whenever a customer shows up the strange message will always appear and will always pop up so much which got us very annoyed.
Great game but we suggest you spend the 9.95 instead of buying every two episodes. What a rip off. You will spend almost 15 dollars by buying individual episodes. How is that fair? Smh.
We just bought the full game but its messing up now. Pop up keeps coming up. Then once the character body moves it still stands in the same place.
We thought it was a good game but we don't think it's worth 10$ and we hated that we couldn't play all levels unless we payed the money it could have been better it was ALOT like the delicious games maybe make it more unique.
We enjoyed the storyline in this game a lot. Follow your dreams, not what others dream for you. We liked the different restaurants and fun food it had us cook. However, this game was very glitchy and would constantly have difficulties loading. It would give us error pages every other episode. And the ending was very disappointing. We were expecting more for Marys story, but the game just ends…with no solution.
Storyline was just so-so. Gameplay, so-so. Music, awful (that was the most disappointing for us). We'll stick with the regular Emily games.
It was disappointed because we really like the Emily games so we thought we would try this one but it was horrible please respond thanks.
We enjoy all Emily games but even in level one and level 2 the game kept closing :(.
We love all the Delicious games, so we wanted to try this game. Disappointingly, it was okay. Graphics and time management is very similar to the Delicious series. The storyline is different, but it needed something extra. Something was missing as the story progressed. Maybe there should have been a twist if they wanted to create Mary Le Chef into a series. Also, the theme song was annoying. Tried too hard to be some Disney Channel song. Some of the games had slight glitches and it was hard to pick up certain items such as the Farmer's Market level and the Final level. For $9.99, this was not money well-spent. After finishing the entire game, we realized that we didn't have desire to replay the game again from it's entirety! We were shocked, given how much money we spent! Don't waste your money on this game.
Continuous pop up of error and error codes. Not able to play the game.
Once you get past the first section. You have to pay to keep playing. That should be in the description of the game.
You must pay to continuing playing after the first restaurant. This is nonsense. Most of the Emily games allow you to play for free all the way thru. Im not paying $2 for each additional restaurant. Ridiculous.
The game should be free just like all the other gamehouse games. We shouldnt have to pay for the full game. Its not worth the money in our opinion.
Every single time we started playing this error thing would pop up on a black screen and it wouldnt let us do anything .NO ONE BUY THIS GAME.
We just downloaded this game and we cant even play it! We love gamehouse games! Delicious Emily, Fabulous Angela and more. Im very disappointed in this game! As soon as you pass the choose your difficulty level screen all you get is pop ups of errors and error codes. Three pages worth. Its a shame because we probably would have loved this game too.
We purchased the full game after completing the first restaurant. Big mistake. The game quality is poor. The storyline tanks. The game pace is too slow, repetitive and boring. Instead of getting more difficult as it progresses, the game gets slower and more repetitive. Disappointed.
We purchase all game house games. Highly disappointed with this one. A lot of glitches, and not worth the $9.99. Do not purchase. Disappointed customer.
We've been a Gamehouse supporter for years. We pay the monthly subscription for our laptop. We've seldon been disappointed. So when we found ourselves in the hospital with nothing to do, we tried this game. The trial played perfectly so we purchased the full game. It's unplayable. Error codes at every screen. No mouse. No tasks to complete. We can't complete any purchases upgrades for the shops. We did try to email our concerns to the address supplied to other customers, but was undeliverable. We're on as iPad 2, operating system 12.1.4.
Error codes, glitches (no mice, no way to refill items) and getting booted. After we paid 9.99. What a rip off. Super disappointed.
We have been a huge fan of gamehouse stories. We think we have purchased just about every single one of them. Sure, we favored some over others but they were all amazing! Great graphics, funny storyline, lovable characters. Unfortunately over the last 3 months we have been sorely disappointed in every game Ive purchased. First, it was one of the Hearts hospital game. It kept booting you out of your game to the main screen. Repeatedly. Then, we saw that Love Boat:part 2 was out. We couldnt have been more excited. Then we tried to play. Boy, was that a mistake. You got booted out, customers would ask for items that didnt exist, flaw after flaw. Now, this game. It played fine through the first chapter. We could tell that this would not be one of our favorite games but we chose to purchase anyway. Guess Im a glutton for punishment. As soon as we buy the full game, problems start. You are not only booted out of the game but you literally cant play! A screen flashes with a million error codes. Chef Mary would be talking to someone and simultaneously another Chef Mary would appear in the background like a bad doppelgnger! It continued to happen with multiple characters & boards. This was also an issue with Love boat 2. We dont understand how you can make multiple 10 star games for years and then make 1 star games. Nobodys perfect so we were willing to give them a second (and now third) chance. Im running out of chances.
We let the game update and things went down hill from there. The game would not let us enable the purchase and keeps asking us to pay again. When playing the first level the game would not give us bonuses. We love the Emily games and we are very disappointed.
Mary will never get be like Emily we don't need this game we love the Emily games but this one is not needed because we have Emily games.
The story is cute and the game is addictive and challenging.
We played on an iPhone 6S with no problems. Done with the normal level, now going back for expert. Keep it up. Would love more of these "Emily" games. Thank you.
We love the challenge of the game and the story is marvelous well worth the 10 bucks.
This one doesn't disappoint as it is a great game with cute characters and fun food combos.
We love any game that ties into the Emily brand :).
Too short for the amount of money. The game should only be 4.99.
Fun game to play. Would have given it 5 stars but so far it isn't as challenging as we hoped. Still great game, though.
We do enjoy Gamehouse games on average. They usually have fairly good graphics, an engaging storyline, and good progression. The levels are really easy until you get to level 40 (the BBQ). We never had to replay a level unless we missed a challenge. Most of the levels have the same rate of customers coming in, so it feels a lot less time management-y. The mini games (challenges) rarely correlated with the storyline. They seemed thrown in and weren't engaging. We stopped caring about completing the challenges in levels unless they directly impacted the story. Speaking of challenges, the game itself never showed you what your diamonds are supposed to go to (unless you explored for yourself) or WHY they're supposed to go to it. What's the point of uncovering items for her bedroom? It would have made more sense for it to be her dream kitchen or something. Again, it had no correlation with the story. We play on an iPhone 6 Plus and there were a few times we had trouble deciphering what a customer wanted if the dish had multiple add-on (like the lamb roast for example). We bought this game on Apr 29 (after finishing the trial), and finished it on May 2. So to us, this wasn't worth $10 although it's likely we got at least 10 hours worth of gameplay out of it. We did enjoy the storyline but we were really surprised when it ended. We were hoping for more. The cut scenes before and after each level are pretty good, and help you connect with Mary. Overall, we think this game is decent and has a lot of potential to grow. If you like time management and storylines, you will likely enjoy this game.
We do love every Emily's games and Angela's but there is something about this one that doesn't take it to their level there's no background music we don't know is something that it doesn't make us enjoy it as we wished.
We enjoyed this game but when got up to level 30 gliched a lot and had to start over! Played to level 10 in the a.m. Then in the evening went back to the game crashed again and having to restart all over again. This is on an IPad but should be able to play without gliches and continuously having to start over especially for$10. Have played other "Emily" games without problems on this device. Like the game but frustrating when have to keep starting over.
The graphics are clunky and old-looking and the game is not challenging. We wish GameHouse would produce consistently good story games. We won't be purchasing the full game.
We were excited to see a new game from Gamehouse. We instantly bought the game, but it's so frustrating having to restore our purchase each time we want to play the game. The levels get locked out when you exit and re-enter the app. We don't always have internet on our iPad when traveling, so this makes it inconvenient and very frustrating to play. Unless the glitch is fixed very soon, we will be asking for money back. Don't download, the game is cute, but not worth the $10 of frustration that comes with it.
Keep it up, GH, love everything about your time management games.
We enjoy the game especially when earning recipes from the story. Also, we like the storyline too.
