Mama Chef: Cooking Puzzle Game

another game that makes you wait. initially, a dish you cook takes 20 seconds, but the second tier is over 7 minutes. ingredients are earned in a card matching game which doesn't bother me, but you're limited to five turns which recharge after a minute or so. the game is cute and runs well. My rating is due to gameplay taking too much real time, using commercials for additional card picks, and encouraging real money purchases of gems.

Super cute graphics! This game is fun and easy. You can play briefly by just putting in dishes that take longer to cook, or spend more time if you keep making pan dishes. Even though procuring ingredients is based on a timer, I've had no issues being stuck and waiting around. There are ads but you're in control of them. Also, there was a recent bug and the support team responded to my email super quick and nice, even though I'm sure they had plenty of the exact same email. Very happy so far and would definitely recommend this game! Only suggestion I would make is options for your pet to be a cat instead of a dog 😊

A very fun and cute casual cooking game with different recipes and event recipes to make. You could easily speed through or take your time with the game. It's pretty addictive. However, I look forward to when they implement a way to save and recover your data. I've lost my game progress twice (due to phone issues, not game issues) and it can be a bit of a drag to get back to the chef level I was previously at. Luckily the game is fun, so I don't mind restarting over.

I love this game, it's fairly simple and very relaxing to play. The animations and graphics are adorable! I also love that you can play pretty much as much as you want - many free-to-play games artificially gate what you can do with timed energy meters and whatnot, this has just a tiny bit of that in obtaining free ingredients, but for the most part I can just cook Pan dishes 24/7 to my heart's content if I feel like it, and you get enough chances to get ingredients to keep going :) The Halloween event is also very fun!

Love the art style & concept! Only frustrated w/ how difficult it is to create specific recipes even after they've been discovered; it's not as if a chef doesn't know what they're cooking until it comes out of the oven. This seems to mostly be an issue w/ event requests; so, it is nice that these quests can be declined for alternative ones. Definitely hope to see this game grow!

One of my favorite non-scramble cooking games. Slow paced at most times, but you can pick it up whenever you like. Light hearted with simple but alluring graphics, hilarious parodies (Gordon Ramsey with a mustache), and you get to make food from all around the world in a stress-free environment. It's based on luck mostly, running out of a particular ingredient can get annoying, and I wish there was just a little bit more to do in the game, but that's all part of it.

game constantly crashes and always after watching ads or during the ingredients game. Just now i went to watch an ad and the ad played so i got my extra five chances but now as usual the game freezes meaning I've just wasted the energy to play along with the ingredients I had earned. this happens a lot and it also crashes after the ad plays when watching one for the ingredients. there's also times when I'm connected to the internet but i get a message saying I'm not connected and to check the connection causing me to lose out on my only source of getting tickets. the event is hard to do as well as sometimes I'll do a dish but it doesn't register even though I met the dish conditions. the prices go up too high in the ingredient store too. i mean it goes from 15 to 300 coins after level 6 or 7. but the thing that really bothers me is the price goes way up on the ingredients but the dishes cooked are random and it's the low price foods almost all the time making earning money very difficult. i may be uninstalling soon if the prices and in game food randomizer isn't fixed.

At first I really liked the game. It was fun and cute. But you soon realise that the only point of playing this game is to get you to watch ads. I couldnt take it anymore, when you are trying to make a dish to move on with the quests, and each time you attempt to make the dish, it takes four hours, after four or five days of using the right ingredients, it had never given me the dish. When you are cooking in the game, although it tells you the recipe, it cooks dishes at random. If you are fine with having days of stagnant game play, this app is fine.

I don't know why this app doesn't have a higher rating! The graphics are so cute and pastel, and the music gives me Disney Pixar vibes. It's such an easy, soothing, sweet game that always makes me smile! Plus there's no hassles, time crunches or failing, which makes it really calming and fun, and it helps me relax. Definitely 5/5 stars!

It's really cute and the concept is fun, but it's one of those games with loads of ways to try and get you to spend money. Cooking a dish takes time, waiting for new recipes to unlock, getting ingredients or upgrades etc. Yes you can watch an ad, but it's still kind of annoying. It is definitely a game that values pay to win.

Cute game so far. Just started, only level 5, so not very far in..but so far it is pretty fun and what I am looking for in a cooking game. Was not looking for a game that made me race against time and feel pressure. I have too much of that in real life. So, so far this game is just what I wanted. A cute little cooking game complete with animals!

You flip cards to reveal food and you use the food to level up. this game is super boring. Once you use all the ingredients up that is it. The only gameplay value is wondering what dish you will accidently make since recipes are random. Find the match is a nice children's game but past the age of 8 this is a waste of time. The description is also a lie. It tries to look like a better version of diner dash but is far from it.

I love this little game, I consistently come back to it and i havent gotten bored, or overwhelmed with way too many little tasks that tend to come with app games. The character designs are really cute, it has a reasonable ad system, and it always feels rewarding when you FINALLY GET THAT ONE RECIPE. Not to mention, there arent a million popups that get shoved in your face before you can even get started. There's just the one ad, you initiate it when you want, and it's kind of part of the game too (your doggy). Anyways, just perfectly pleased. Love it.

Bit of confusion, as there is no "Mama" character and the game's original title in the app is "What's Cooking? Tasty Chef," instead. That detail aside, I love everything about how the game looks and plays, but since installing it again, I've been dealing with endless errors and crashes. They often happen after watching an ad. Please look into the issue, it's really ruining the experience and I didn't have it when I first played the game two years ago. I'd be giving a 5-star review without it.

I've only been playing this for a little while but this game is really addictive! The game has a pretty nice progression, with collectibles and even events to keep players playing. Playing the puzzles to get ingredients in the market is a very interesting mechanic that I really like. You are always given a choice if you'd like to view an ad, and you get rewarded in return. The only problem I have with the ads is that some of them are really inappropriate like the sexualizing of women.

Cute, but total money grab. I'm only on something like the 3rd level (very short playtime), and they want you to wait over 7 minutes for a simple dish to complete, or an hour for a recipe to be revealed. You can speed it up with crystals, which are extremely rare, they want you to purchase them. You could easily spend over $100 US dollars on this game just to be able to play over a couple days. Don't understand why games do this, I'd happily pay 15 dollars up front instead and have the full game

I think the game is doing a lot of things right. The cutesy art style is great and the gameplay is nice for short sessions. My biggest issue with the game is that the progression is fairly forced through the challenges you need to complete to level up, I would have much preferred it if I was able to get experience in general by just experimenting with what I'm given.

The game is very cute, I love the concept and the gameplay, but I have a huge complaint: the waiting times are insane! I was baffled when it went from 20sec for the pan to 7 minutes for the fryer and then 25 minutes for the pot. It makes the game feel limited and it becomes boring very quickly, unless you can afford to pay for in-game currency.

I love this game a lot but what I feel sad is there's no progress saving when I want to move it to another device. It shows that I need to replay the whole game again instead of letting me continue creating dishes. The season recipes to collect need to wait so long. But still I love the cute art style and stating where the dishes are from. I hope that the game can add a progress saving like linking to any social media apps.

Usually for this kind of game, I tend to get bored and uninstall it after few days. But this game is just too cute and addicting! There are so many simple task but it really make me aiming to be the number one chef in the game. The visual of the foods also eye candy. It motivates me to cook similar dishes. Now I'm already in maximum level, waiting for updates. Keep up the good work, What's Cooking Dev!
