2025-08-03	Pr*****	First of all, I could only get 1 hint. Then I got stuck and I needed another hint but couldn’t get it. I couldn’t figure out what to do next. So, I looked at a walkthrough and realized that the shards picture puzzle that I completed was supposed to get me some bonsai shears from the thing below the picture. The thing below the picture never opened up so I couldn’t get the shears. So I deleted the game. NO GOOD!!!

2025-03-19	Ol*****	This game seemed to have bugs. I was on the 2nd level (?) in the restaurant, when things seemed to go awry. The game did not seem to be progressing and I ended up continuously clicking on everything, over and over, trying to make something change or happen. I solved the chopstick puzzle, by accident, before the table clues even appeared. I realized I needed a match to light the burner, but my matches had disappeared. When I located the lone match, I didn’t have the clue. I tried getting a “hint”, but it only said “Failed to fetch video.” I finally had to find an online walkthrough, but the “crab” solution did not work. Rather than starting all over again, I just deleted the game.

2024-11-13	Su*****	This started out as a full five-star review (as usual for Jammsworks games), then on to part 2 - the restaurant. First the game crashed (whereby I lost all my notes), then I needed a hint. Since I always pay for ad removal after my first run-through I chose to watch an ad. Oopsie, “unable to fetch video.” Wifi is strong, and I even had to watch an ad to get to the settings in the first place, so…? But thankfully the third part worked like a dream. Average score= 5+2+5=12/3=4.
