Steam reviews

What players say

Players mostly like it as a relaxed, free stall-management game, but grinding, bugs and lost items weigh heavily on it.

Many players enjoy the cozy loop of running a bakso stall: buying ingredients, cooking, serving customers, expanding the stall and decorating, with side quests and light open-world exploration adding variety. Some praise the fact that it is free and easy to pick up in short sessions. Many complaints centre on slow progress: earnings are low compared with upgrade costs, gardening barely pays, and the game does not earn money while you are away. Some players report bugs such as items vanishing, stuttering, crashes and customers getting stuck. A few point to missing bulk buying and carrying features, weak guard and thief handling, and the lack of cloud saves. Recent reviews are more negative than Steam's overall totals suggest, with several players saying the game becomes repetitive after a few dozen hours.

Criticised

  • Slow progress and grinding

    Earnings are low against upgrade costs, and the game does not pay out while you are away, so progress feels slow.

    Many players
  • Bugs and vanishing items

    Items disappear, the game stutters and crashes, and some players lost progress.

    Many players
  • Repetitive after long play

    After a few dozen hours the daily routine becomes repetitive and feels like a job.

    Some players
  • Weak controls and interface

    Players find things hard to locate, awkward controls and a slow walking speed.

    A few players
Who it suits
Players who enjoy relaxed management games and do not mind slow, repetitive routines.
Who should skip it
Players who want fast progress, stable performance or a deep, varied game should skip it.

Short vs. long playtime: Newcomers mostly praise the cozy stall routine, while players with dozens of hours more often report grinding, repetition and bugs that break progress.
