👍 Strengths

103 reviews find it fun, and some call it addictive or the game they want to play every day. 7 enjoy the challenge, saying the levels reward skill, patience and teamwork, and some find the three star goals satisfying. Multiplayer ranks 132nd of 642 and comes up in 82% of analyzed reviews. A running joke among reviewers is that it tests friendships and relationships under pressure, with stories of arguments over passing ingredients told with affection. Content Volume ranks 291st of 1351.

👎 Where it falls short

52 reviews say some levels are frustrating and hard, with difficulty spikes that need repeated attempts, and a few call certain hitboxes unfair. 33 report lag and freezes when playing online, and some say online co-op only runs smoothly when players are close by, while a few find the developers unresponsive. Others find solo play weaker, and a few dislike teammates who troll by throwing them off the map. Gameplay ranks 822nd of 1396, and Tech & Support ranks 646th of 1399.
