Cook delicious meals and desserts from all over the world! Gameplay consists of a choice of 16 unique locations, like Mexican Restaurant, Breakfast Cafe and more constantly being added. You'll have fun practicing your cooking skills with hundreds of different ingredients and a variety of dishes. Each restaurant has different kitchen appliances with different functions. Make your own freebies, such as cookies or cupcakes, to make your customers’ experience more personal and memorable. Gotta keep those customers happy!
Bright and colorful graphics make it a very visually appealing game. Characters are cute and their expressions change as time runs out. The food is cartoon-ish, but it works for the game.
Fairly easy to click on items and drag and drop to their location. However, the difficulty of the game can be affected by the size of the screen. Sometimes you may get stuck and need to purchase an upgrade in order to continue to the next level. Coins are earned with each round but the more valuable currency are gems. Gems are awarded less frequently but can be purchased in-app. You'll need the gems to purchase upgrades.
The game is highly addictive to play. Within each restaurant location are at least 30 levels of play. You must earn at least 1 star to continue, or keep playing to get a perfect 3 star score. As you play, you will unlock additional ingredients to cook with. Upgrade your restaurant to gain additional cooking time, or greater amount of tips.
Not a lot of sounds in the game, but the ones that are there are mostly to reinforce what is happening on screen. The disgruntled grunts and sighs of impatient customers can get annoying.
Cooking Fever is a highly addictive time management game that you will not be able to put down. It is one of the few games that I have ever splurged on in-app purchases because I just had to beat the level!
