Papas Pancakeria isn’t like what it was
I’ve played it for the first time today after having it for a while and it was so hard to play. I play on my iPad the same way I’ve been playing papas tacomia and it isn’t like that, as I’ve had no issues with that game. It was so hard to put any icing or deserts on the pancakes and you don’t know when there’s any customers. It’s so hard to operate as the icing and blueberries wouldn’t stop spraying or coming out and wouldn’t let me stop. It seems really out of date and I’m deleting.
Very buggy.
Can't make drinks at all on iPad. Clicking S or L does nothing so I can’t even complete a single order…
Glitchy!
I’ve downloaded this game and haven’t been able to play because it keeps freezing.
New version out, old version broken.
I have been playing Pancakeria for years, very fun game. Noticed recently the app doesn’t work at all, coincidentally there’s a NEW version of Pancakeria. You want me to pay AGAIN? For literally not a big difference and a whole dollar more, lol broke developers or what?
Can’t Even Play It 😭
There’s a significant glitch in this papa’s game where you CANNOT control the toppings. Every single time where once you start using a topping it doesn’t let you have control of the movement of it and just starts going over the edge, and trying to redirect it causes it to start a new set of toppings. It’s an infinite loop of no control and then it resetting and adding more toppings even though you’re trying to control where they go. It’s literally been impossible for me to get above a like 80 point serving score, and it happens every single time with every order 😭
Small screen
Don’t get this game if you plan on playing on tablet. The screen is small and graphics are buggy and weird.
Size?
No because tell me why I spent a whole 2 dollars on this game for it to not even be full screen. When I play on my iPad it’s really small and doesn’t fill the whole screen. I have 3 other ones and they all work fine. If ima pay full price for a game I should be able to play it full screen. Make it make sense
Gets boring after a while
So after a while. You buy all the furniture and clothes … and there is no new challenges or anything else to look forward to… except make pancakes. I would suggest maybe adding more furniture 😫 or customers
Terrible
Nothing like the game on computer and it has so many bugs don’t buy
It deleted my progress
I was at Day 28, had 432.00 tips and it deleted my progress!!! I AM OUTRAGED. All i wanted was to have a happy little game but it failed. I want my progress back!
It was not worth it
Don’t wast you money
It’s not what it used to be
I would play this game constantly as a kid. But you could actually put the topping on now they make you hold the plate and it’s very glitchy, Also now they have you swapping back and forth with the topping makes it take so much longer. Another thing they changed was before you could just click on the station you wanted now you have to scroll through them. But whoever designed this new topping stations messed it up. I miss what this game used to be.
Too buggy
It glitches and messes up my order nearly every time. Waste of money.
Freezing
I’m not sure why, but every time I get to a certain level and the last customer it starts to freeze up
Doesnt format for ipad
I dislike how they didnt format this version of the game for the iPad but instead dropped another version of the game that i’d also have to pay for
Great! But...
I grew up on these games. And when I found it on here I had to get it. I love these games but... the remake of it is off. It’s not as fun anymore when I add all the toppings or the spray can of whipped creme. Now it’s like the stuff is made in a factory and you move the plate to it. You can’t even decorate the pancakes a certain way anymore, it’s all the same. There’s a phone now for delivery and that’s a good touch though.
