To everyone who calls this a scam because you didn’t know you needed a membership, read the description. At the top of the games description on this page of the App Store, it says in all caps “MEMBERSHIP REQUIRED,” so can you try reading the description next time you download an app and call it a scam?

You have to pay for a membership to play the game at all. The fact this is a free game you need to pay a continuous monthly payment just to keep playing is legit disgusting.

I’m having a blast in Pepper Grinder so far. The levels are great and I really like and appreciate the different upgrades and the systems for it. For some odd reason, too, I keep wishing the game had a feature that lets you design and share your own levels. Not fully sure why I keep thinking about that, haha. Perhaps it’s the aesthetics of Pepper Grinder and how it looks similar to other games that offered that feature. But the gameplay is designed well I think, I dig the animations and production design, the score is great and just overall as I mentioned, the game is super fun 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I’m very grateful to Crunchyroll for even offering us so many great games like this. The anime and manga make the Crunchyroll monthly subscription totally worth it in my opinion. While having all of these really great games to play is just like the coolest bonus ever. Many thanks to Crunchyroll for offering such fun games to play with along with our subscription and many thanks as well also to the creators of this game. Your hard work and time put into Pepper Grinder is very much appreciated by myself and I’m sure many others. Thanks for all of the above and God bless. Also, I noticed at the time of my writing that this game only has negative reviews and ratings and they all state the same pointless thing. It’s so exasperating seeing the same thing every single time. I can’t imagine how stressful and demoralizing it is for Crunchyroll and the developers of these great games to see this every time. But, the very first line of the description for this game and every Crunchyroll game, explicitly and clearly states that - “You need a Mega or Ultimate Fan Crunchyroll Subscription Plan to Play This Game.” This is stated in the promotional material as well and once again in the description lower down. How can so many of you fail to read and comprehend the very first statement in the game’s description? It’s ludicrous in my opinion. And don’t you think it’s extremely unethical and petty to tank a game’s score because you don’t want to follow the requirements set forth by the people offering the game? Netflix also has a game section for subscription members. This is nothing new. Giving a score of 1-star and complaining about not being able to play the game that told you’re right off the bat the requirements for being able to play it is, just asinine I believe. It’s like going to shoe store and screaming your head off at a store clerk because they refuse to give you the shoes you want for free. Again, just silly and very petty as I said to hurt the reputation of a game because your reading comprehension appears to be way below average. I’m grateful for these games, Crunchyroll, thank you very much. I can see these games as an incentive to subscribe to Crunchyroll. Yet, I also find this benefit to just be very generous. Again, thank you, Crunchyroll and all of the game developers and game staff that participate in this program 👌🏻❤️.
