Here’s the deal. – Crazy Cooking Star Chef Review

Is a good game. I actually started playing on Facebook, where it’s absolutely impossible to really earn gems. It does give you a chance to map out a strategy for how you can go about being frugal. I did pay the .99 for no ads. Regardless, you’re going to have to watch ads. Lots of ads. There’s a limit for attaining gems with ads. 10. It’s the only way to earn gems without paying. You’ll also have to watch ads to speed up upgrades in the restaurant. There is a little Happy Birthday boost to sorta get you going. The accumulation of gems is slow going. The VIP offer isn’t enticing enough. 5 gems a day is basically not worth the $5 a month. I’ve just really started (got stuck on the fb game and enjoyed it enough to download the app), but once you have daily tasks that absolutely require purchasing certain special food with gems to get 3 stars, instead of extremely smart upgrade and immaculate play, it takes away the desire really feel like if you wanted to throw a few bucks, you would. Forcing it too much. So basically there’s a gem issue where the developers are so frugal with them, that it takes away the playability and even the desire to spend some actual money. The developers just don’t have the correct balance. I really enjoy the game, but I see in the not so distant future, where I advance far ahead enough that the cost (with gems) will be so much that I’ll lose interest.
