Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Please do a part 2 of this game. This game is fun.
One of our issues should be an easy fix. We are used to being able to click twice on something to pick two items up (like two pancake batters). Its annoying that it just clears our attempt to pick anything up. Other games allow you to double click and get two items.
We see a lot of complaints about how this is low quality for GameHouse. Its true that its not their typical story driven game. But if you enjoy an easy, mindless restaurant game to pass time look no further. Its not bad, just different.
We lost interest in the first two to three levels. The girl walk terribly slow. The graphics was terrible as well so small we could barely see what or how to do anything. Its hard to believe Gamehouse seriously downgraded as such.
This game is not Gamehouse quality and not worth the price. Slow, outdated game. We couldnt finish it, played a few levels before quitting and we normally love Gamehouse games. A few games in a row now have been so bad we quit and did not buy. Gamehouse please do something constructive with these reviews and listen to your customers. The general feeling is we all want you to get back to producing more Emily Delicious type games and similar.
Such a disappointment compared to all GH games this is not worth the $9.99 they are charging. We wont buy full version until they update. Very slow action. Thumbs all the way down.
Its a fun game but theres only 4 restaurants. Please tell us there will be more.
Im almost finished playing all of the levels. We hope more levels ate added.
This is different from the usual games but we like it. More realistic as far as running a restaurant. Seems like a variety of things to do.
We have to tap very hard to serve and order the items. Just started the game, so we dont have an full opinion yet.
To move on to Level 6, you have to buy the whole game.
Super excited for this one but it wasnt like normal gamehouse games. Super short and choppy, lots of bugs. Seems like this was put together rather quickly.
We usually absolutely love the Gamehouse games but this one was so disappointing. It felt so old and outdated and was not fun to play at all. The mechanics and graphics feel like Im playing a 2005 game.
The game isnt really what we have come to expect from game house games. Theres really no story line, which we were really bummed about because the games usually have a great story behind the levels. It makes you want to keep playing to find out what happens. After a few levels in an episode your able to get enough coins for all the upgrades so after that it just becomes too repetitive. We do like that there is a lot more things to serve and that that poses an extra challenge in itself.
We have been waiting for this game for awhile since we subscribe to the GHOS app. It did not meet our expectations. It is not to the level of the other games, in fact it does not even look or feel like the same as the Delicious or Sally stories. We mean we will keep playing it to see if it gets better but we were expecting better. We feel like it was released too quickly.
This game is a downgrade compared to other GH games. The graphics are ok but could be better. The last section, there were 10 levels after we purchased all the upgrades that seemed exactly the same. It became tedious. Theres absolutely no justification for charging as much as they do for it. Its a $2.99 at best.
This is not the usual good quality of games, that are usually offered by Gamehouse. Im speechless at this point; so, Ill wait for the next one, before we move away from Gamehouse.
This is like no other GH game and its quite disappointing. Wheres the story line and the combos and the challenges? It is the most boring out of all the GH games Ive played.
We cannot say how disappointed in Game House we are. This is boring, glitchy, non-responsive, and absolutely NO FUN! What happened to your inventiveness, story-making, and high quality? Just pathetic.
This game is just a rip off of diner dash. We prefer the older mechanics of the delicious, Angela, and Sally games. Even their newest release before this one had the same mechanics so Im not sure why they decided to do this crap.
The quality of GameHouse games has gone down, and this release is no different. Choppy cutscenes, flat characters (both in personality and in gameplay), and amateurish movement mechanics mean this is yet another GameHouse game that just cant meet the expectations set by earlier titles.
It is like every other boring cooking game, nothing like the delicious Emily series. Very disappointed.
The games are just getting worse. Idk who they are using as app developers, but they need new ones. Its slow and poor looking. Not what we would expect from game house games. Im starting to give up hope for this company. They where one of our favorites. Not now. Each new game that comes out is worse then the last. They just need to stop putting out poor quality games. Its dragging down this company. It they cant put in the time and effort, then just dont do it. This is also one of the main reasons we stopped paying for it. They just dont deserve our money if this is the quality we get. They have just stopped trying at this point. No reason at all they have released an app game at this quality in todays market. SMH. You can and should do better. Heck, some of your games from years ago are better then this. You would think they would get better not worse. Step up your game or have your customers walk away like Im doing. We have had enough. We have better games to play then this poor sad thing you call a game.
Its not as fun as we thought it was gonna be. We downloaded it played 4 levels and got rid of it. We like Emilys games better.
These are our favorite type of games and this game is by far the best! We hate when the game gets too hard and you need to spend real money on power ups. This game goes off of your ability to multitask and allows you to work towards your upgrades! Im sad we finished this game but now Im hooked onto GameHouse.
We do like this game, and we quite like the upgrades process, but some of the maneuvers are different than any other game Ive played that makes it really frustrating. Not being able to quickly click on an item twice if we need 2 of them is horrible – we have to wait until she gets there then click it again once shes picked it up, or itll cancel the command AND shell walk away from it. Really weird decision for this one game in our opinion from a company that makes so many similar games.
The game itself is interesting but the ads dont load most times n you have to try 5 to 6 times before the game would load. That is very frustrating.
We were really enjoying it and now im at chapter 2. We tried loading level 1 but it says theres a connectivity issue and it cant load? Tried restarting the game but it still wont work.
We enjoy the game a lot but are there really only the 4 restaurants then the game is over? Are any more going to be added.
Do not like the changes that were made to the story scenes and the refills of the products per game is still OK.
We like the game as a whole but please fix to allow a double tap. The play would be so much smoother if the player was allowed to pick up an item twice without it ceasing play.
Looks like a nice game but sadly we can't continue playing as from level 6 because the ad wont play and keeps asking us to restart the application.
Why is this Gamehouse game so laggy? We are having trouble even picking up food Slowly! We have purchased every game thus far but will wait for smoother play for this one.
