Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We like the game but.. The people on the game your serving food to want gets mad when you take a long time to serve them we think it should be at least 3 mins to cook and serve all the food. But like we said we like the game.
Cant wait to get to do the new year 2026 event.
It has so many opticals and its so fun and challenging we love cooking maddness.
Its really fun (most of the time) a lot of the things they make you wait but have little ads we would recommend it.
It takes just a couple of minutes to play a round – and there is a minute long ad between each round! We get that you want us to pay $2.99 to get rid of ads,but no thanks.
The game is fun, but some levels are made to be impossible to beat without coins or diamonds. Once you pay to remove ads, it removes any ability to get what you need in order to beat the levels. We paid to remove them because they allow their advertisers to display ads that force you to open their website in a web browser every time you try to close it. Its frustrating and honestly Im not sure why they should be allowed to do that.
This game is really fun to play but the adds every time we finish a level is annoying! This haves made delete it because its just too much. And most of the adds make you baby to get out the game and come back in because it wont give you the option to cancel. Without the adds Ill give it a 5.
It is a challenge game that u have to cook to the coustmer and we loved this game it is soooooo fun and relaxing we rate this who love challenge game and cooking fast.
This game was really fun in the beginning and very addictive. You have two options one is money and then you get gems. Money is to upgrade your items in the kitchen, the problem we have is you get 5 energys and if you dont beat a level you lose an energy and the amount of coins you get per level is no where near what you need to upgrade your items. For example you may get ( it depends on the level) 500 coins or 250 and the amount you need to upgrade is $3,000 all the way up to over 9,000 per item. Also you may get 3-5 gems by completing levels but if you fail at a level it sometimes will give you 10 extra seconds or 1 more customer if you watch an ad but if you still dont beat it you need 67 gems to get either 3 more people or 30 seconds. It just depends. Its too the point now where Im not playing it anymore bc its way too hard and Im not spending money on this game. Also Ive noticed that once we upgrade an item the people barely pick that item. Its very rigged, it stinks bc we really enjoyed playing it but its pointless and not worth our time anymore. Off to download something else.
This is a fun game, however the amount of adds it has is frustrating and makes us want to delete it. It will be first to go when we need extra space or find another cooking game we like.
Fun and challenging the farther you.
Fun levels, great login bonus, and activities.

This game is amazing. Im not trying to say that its underrated, but we feel like not many people but its amazing it distracts you and youre playing this game time pass by faster than you think. It helps to distract you if youre feeling anxious with her now place you dont feel comfortable. This game is they came to play. Its very chill and soothing and relaxing.
Cooking madness is a super fun and hard game with so many level ups! And we hope you feel the same way.
Hands down, the best cooking game youll ever find, so many ways to be a winner, always interesting. Transition from super easy to super hard is fast and lots of ads, not a surprise because the game is that good.
We use to play this game everyday when it first came out. We got a new phone and we had to install app asap.
When it comes to the end of the game, trying to win it seems like it. Have you spending more money to try to get to the next level.
It is so fun! Not any intrusive ads just gameplay.
Great game!! Got us through some tough times.
Love this game!! If Im anywhere waiting around instead of letting people or circumstances dictate our mood, we enjoy a few satisfying levels of fun and games.
Fun, and when you lose a level, you dont feel like garbage like some other games. Always enjoyable getting better and unlocking silly stuff.
First the game is super fun and challenging but Maybe less ads there used to be less and now it takes for ever to play the game so could you please try to decrease the ads.
We love this game. Its so addictive but also rewarding. The only thing we wish was different is that Id like to have more mini games (like the food truck and the candy river). We wish they were available all the time, and that they were more varied than they are. It seems like just a dozen or so restaurants are rotating through the mini games, but why couldnt there be more? Personally Id love to play the pizza restaurant again, or the French ones, or sushi. Please add more mini games! Thank you.
Tengo una imaginacin muy bue siempre imagino que tambin hay otro mundo y us gusta un hombre dique llamado cuirry y Csima tambin y us gusta el juego por que us acuerda el aunque sea imaginario lo amo mucho.
Tis the season to get stressed out, from a cooking game, falalala.
So we love this game so much!!! We deleted it because we needed to free up space and we forgot about it for a few months then redownloaded and it saved all our data which made us so happy!!! But when we finish a level it just pops up with ads. Could you please make there less ads? If you cant thats ok it just gets really annoying when we just want to play the game but then get bombarded with ads.
Why aren't there ads for Extra Life.
Great way to pass time and get mor challenging the deeper you get into it.
After getting an ad for each game you play is so annoying! We want to enjoy the game but we cant because Im being bashed with ads.
Like the game! Hate hate the advertising after every game! Every level after youve played advertising! Its so annoying! Im not for sure if its just a push for a person to buy the app or what.
Too much ads, we cant enjoy it.
At first this game is very fun, but then it gets to the point where we truly dont think you can win without a booster or diamonds. It stopped being fun, so Ill be deleting it.
We do enjoy this game, but every time we complete a level AN AD APPEARS. It is super annoyed for a fun game.
The game is decent but there are some things we wish the makers of the game would consider & improve on for instance when you mess up a level instead of us having to use our purple diamonds give us a freebie to try the level again; we hate how the icons that they display before you play a level costs you a 100 purple diamonds ; we dont like how the hard & the extra hard levels you are on for infinity it should be a nice relaxing game & sometimes its not its just a pain in the butt.
We enjoy the game but the ads ruin it for us. We play other free games that have ads but none that are so repetitive, constant and long and there are few rewards for watching them. An ad will start and we will just set our phone down and walk away. Id probably give it a 5 stars if they calmed tf down with all the ads.
Game is fun at first but all the ads and some levels you literally have to have a power thing or diamonds or you will not pass the level which is so annoying.
We started playing this game a month and a half now, and its really entertaining to play compare to other cooking games Ive played before. Its addicting to us at least, but never in our life of playing cooking games have us fuming against these dumb NPCs. We are not trying to use our power ups unless its necessary for lvls we cant handle. However, this lvl at 78-1 is very easy without the power-up, the problem is the NPCs. Why do they take FOREVER for them to stop and make an order??? It takes them 5-10 secs for them to stop moving, and they keep messing up our flow. Mind you, we upgraded EVERYTHING TO MAX! It would be appreciative if you devs can do something about the NPCs time movement, theyre the reason why we cant go through VERY EASY lvls, especially lvls with a Timer, without forcing us to use a power-up.
It shouldnt be surprising that a game runs ads to support itself, but after the first hour of gameplay, the amount of ads they show you skyrockets. Right before we deleted the app, we swear we spent more time waiting for the x to pop up in the corner of each ad (which play after every single round) than actually playing the game. Ultimately, we could not deal with the egregious amount of ads anymore. Its a shame because the game itself is pretty fun, but the experience is ruined by the sheer amount of microtransactions they shove in your face and the ads youre forced to sit through after a minute of gameplay.
Ive enjoyed this game for years but it didnt use to have so many ads. You used to get them for rewards, like gems or coins or lives or could even watch ads to get 10 seconds in a level when you run out of time. Now every single one will take us out the game and open popups, very hard to have fun. Cupcakes also used to be unlimited and there was less stuff to spend gems on.
Enjoyed the game in the beginning but it stopped being enjoyable once you realized you absolutely need boosts to beat some levels, especially when the goal is making over a certain amount. Even if you have all of the upgrades and youre fast enough to complete everything boosts are a requirement and getting enough gems every single time isnt easy. Makes us not want to play at all knowing we cant do anything until we either somehow earn or pay for gems.
We like the game but every time you finish a level, theres an ad.
The game have to many adds and lot of the adds are broken and you need to revise the game because you dont give anything meaning gifts to make people want to come to the game.
At first the game was great, but after reaching a certain point it has forced ads after every level and sometimes even randomly when clicking on menus. Also, some of the timed levels are almost impossible to win because they dont give enough customers within the time limit to reach the goal.
The levels are too redundant. The only thing we like are the food truck challenges and they are not available all the time.
Ive been playing this game for quite some time. Lately, however, Ive lost interest in. The levels are becoming more and more ridiculous to pass even with boosters. Im SO OVER the times likes and the low patience of the customers. Im all for challenging, but really. Make it obtainable.
We dont usually mind ads in games; if Im playing on our phone obv we have time to burn. But an ad after every single round is ridiculous. Not exaggerating. AFTER EVERY SINGLE ROUND. Thats too much. Its a shame because otherwise the game is pretty decent, the artwork is vibrant, and the mechanics are fun. Uninstalling was sad but we cant deal with this many ads.
It good for road trips and its good for no wad-a.
Its cooking fever but you dont have to spend money to actually play the game.
