<description><![CDATA[I really like time management games and I've played a lot.  This has the potential to be a really good game if you smooth some things out. Graphics are good, the little minigames to make dumplings and kebabs are a good twist, and I like the characters.

Problem is, I've never run across one that offered me impossible/confusing objectives before. I can't pass level 2-10. I'm mostly gold up to that level and my restaurant is fully upgraded. I'm supposed to "serve 7 guests while making them happy", serve 3x3 fruit baskets, or 5 ice cream cones.  The guests aren't requesting enough fruit or ice cream.  I've tried twice and got 4 ice cream and about 5-6 sporadic fruit requests that couldn't served in combos at all.  My restaurant is fully upgraded and mostly my guests are ordering food, getting full hearts, and going to the karaoke machine without ordering many extras.

You need to explain what "serve 7 guests while making them happy"
 even means.  I am an adult with very good reading comprehension and you haven't explained this well enough for me to understand the goal. Am I to make 7 happy in a row? I'm pretty sure I've done that although the game offers me no feedback to be certain. Fill the restaurant with 7 at once? They leave too quickly. Seat 7 at once? The game hasn't offered me 7 guests in line together. Is it supposed to be some sort of combo? That isn't indicated either.  Why did I get up to 5/7 once with no indication of what I did? How do I get the other two? I'm bewildered.

I also can't get gold on 2-6 for similar reasons.  I'm supposed to serve a certain salad and make 7 customers happy with it, but only the camel likes it and I didn't get 7 camels.  I tried twice. I also had trouble with the 3x5 kebabs because I had installed flowers and ice cream so the customers weren't requesting enough kebabs to get that many combos.  Am I supposed to somehow know that I shouldn't add leis and ice cream until after 2-6? Turn off the flowers and ice cream if I'm supposed to serve 15 kebabs in combo.

This would be a really good game if more care were taken with the level objectives and explanations, UI (see my comment above about yes/no), and making sure players have their restaurant set up correctly to actually complete objectives.  If karaoke is required, the game should make sure they have a karaoke machine.  If I'm supposed to serve a million kebab combos, the game needs to be sure my other upgrades don't interfere.

Coin drop needs to not interrupt the level. My guests are getting unhappy while it runs and it gets confusing if you're in the middle of setting up a combo when it appears. Pause the guest timer, please. Same with trophies.  The game needs to award trophies at the end of the level so players can see what they have accomplished, not hunt desperately for the close button because their guests are waiting.

Chef upgrades don't feel very useful. I can play with 3 or 4 dishes. The 5th upgrade just makes the game more confusing when you go to serve food. It would be better if upgrading the chef gave access to dishes that make all your customers happy.

Let me seat dancing customers, please. It's disruptive to my rhythm to have to wait for them to finish.

I hope this helps. I'm trying to offer constructive criticism that could turn a good game into a great one. :-)]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[This is a good game.  I like the little minigames.  Combos are not well explained.

When I earn gold on a level a menu asks me whether I want to keep playing and has yes/no answers. It's really confusing because I have to read the question every single time to remember whether to hit yes or no.  Make the buttons read "stop" and "continue playing" or something like that so that I don't have to read the question or memorize what yes and no mean.  

I'm not crazy about the coin drop. It's fun the first couple times but not every single level.  I feel like I'm missing out on upgrades if I mess up the coin drop, even if I got gold for the level.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Further to my review yesterday ....

I'm officially addicted! :D I've been playing it for most of the day and I've nearly finished Hawaii, my 2nd restaurant.

<b>Combos:

3 Combo: do exactly the same thing 3 times in a row;
4 Combo: do exactly the same thing 4 times in a row;
5 Combo: do exactly the same thing 5 times in a row:

The other number tells you how many (n) combos you need to finish the level (along with the other goals).

I hope that's understandable, if not I'll clarify it further for you ;)

BTW:  Yes, the games are always free at MyPlayCity everyday, but you also have to deal with a check box wanting to hijack your homepage and search bar every time you play the game also.  Just an FYI ;)</b>

<description><![CDATA[I found a bug. During the Hawaiian 1st stage, if I continue to serve customers after I finish all the goals, the game will not end. I tried it again just to be sure and it happened the 2nd time as well.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Definately going to download this one, but obviously the game wasn't written by anyone who is a native-English speaker.

What's "time times?"]]></description>
