Community Insight:
The game is amazing it is how we like it.
Crazy how much we love this game! Loads of fun! Thanks.
We think it's a good game however, way too many adds.
Hate that you have to basically buy hats to play the game lol. Do everything right, run out of time and you have to pay lol no thanks. We love it other than that and the millionsssss of ads.
We really like this game, the graphics, gameplay however, we always feed our pets. Then, when we return less than an hour later, it says we havent. Thus, we have to use chef hats to resurrect our pets & bring them back to life repeatedly. We really dont wont to lose the animals Ive gained so its annoying that it keeps killing them & costing us hats that we could use when we actually forget.
This game is very fun and can become addictive. However, there are way too many ads it ruins your game mode.
So basically, theres an ad after each level. The ad is long if you choose to double your rewards, and short if you choose not to. A lot of the levels are impossible to pass without either 1. Using your hats to pay for more time or customers, or a second chance, or 2. Watching an ad. Some levels require you to watch several ads to pass. Yes, this makes it free to play, but its annoying and Id gladly pay to remove the ads. Other than that, we love the game. Update: we play everyday but our pets still keep dying.
****Update to our review – we got a response to our post from the developer, which is a canned, generic response, exactly the same as all the other reviews calling out the ridiculous amount of ads. Ending with a suggestion to make an in game purchase, despite us clearly stating we refuse to reward greedy. If we could give this less than a star, we would. The only thing worse than being greedy is so clearly not giving a crap about the people youre trying to get money out of. Sending canned responses to reviews you havent even read – maybe you should find a career you actually enjoy, because this clearly isnt it. We have played two other cooking games by this developer and the ads are not so heavy and consistent. The only thing those ads inspire us to do is delete the game, which we otherwise was enjoying. When the ads are that persistent and annoying, we refuse the reward greedy behavior by making an in game purchase. Without all of those ads, we would have. Instead, the time we spend unwinding from our day will no longer be playing this game. Hope all the ads are worth it for you – we will never understand why developers dont get that – you lose more customers that way. Would you enjoy a commercial after every minute of your favorite TV shows? Or a salesperson knocking on your door or calling you every five minutes? Doubtful. It ruins the fun, which Im assuming is the point of the game.
We hate that it literally kills all your animals if you dont feed them in time whats the point in playing it when you have no animals left.
We just finished rescuing the leopards. Played 3 more levels to unlock the pandas but. Now its telling us to wait. We hope the wait is not too long. We love the face of playing the cooking game and rescue of animals.
We have two puppies now. When do we train them? This is a neat game. We like the way you have the tasks. When can we train our puppies? Thanks.
When is the next version of the game coming out.
We just love this game! Ifs fun, sometimes easy and sometimes very challenging and hard.You (The Company) gives enough ways (ads) and other ways to earn chef hats to keep upgrading to keep playing! Keep up the good work! Janet Shelton.
This game starts to work its way towards being impossible to beat. We will add boosts to our levels and still run out of time or customers when Im doing everything to a T. We are not spending hard earned money on a game that sets us up for failure.
We havent been playing long, and now Ive gotten to a point where there isnt anymore game to play until the next update. We would think that after only playing a couple weeks we shouldnt have run out of restaurants.
We cant play anymore because all levels are completed. The game said with next update more levels will be available but thats been nearly a month ago. The game was enjoyable until then. Disappointed player.
Es muy divertido y su historia. Rescatar animales.
We like playing the game. We always like playing cooking games. What we would like in this game is a bonus/ endless mode with the completed themes. Meaning that after you unlock a new theme, you get a chance to replay the previous theme for more hats. For example, breakfast, bbq, seafood, etc.
Our screen has been stuck on how we forgot to feed our animals and it circles in the right hand corner where you can press the button to play the next game. We keep trying to tap where it is circling but it is just stuck on that.
We love playing this game we always play cook off and we were excited about animal rescue but the ads are ridiculous literally one every single time you finish a level. It isnt like that with cook off its the only downside so we think Ill just stick with cook off until thats fixed.
Game stops working when Im supposed to feed the dog.
We thought this would be a cute game sense your helping animals but we loaded up the game and it froze we closed it out tried again same problem we gave it one last try and still froze if we could we would give it zero stars.
We too love this game but an add after every level is too much. Sorry.
The ads are insane. Id gladly pay to not have them at all but we will be deleting the app because its too much.
We love the game! Ive finished all areas. Can you please tell us when you will release more of the game.
Every time you complete a level and says click video for double and accept if not well you get a video no matter what you push ugh so theres an ad after each level which is a pain….their response was to make a purchase smh do not care about fixing anything so why in the world would we purchase anything if they wouldnt fix any glitches for all we know it would still have the same thing after purchasing anything or maybe we wouldnt get what we paid for.
We really love this game. Ive completed all restaurants and just wanted to know how long will it be before there are more levels. Thanks.
