Love doing the ingredients mixing and making different types of dishes. Is hoping for the updates for the boss achievements to come in soon, the problem I am having right now is unable to unlock any of them even after I have repeatedly defeated them. Awaiting patiently! <3

"CROAK CAFE : FROM POND TO PLATE" is basically a ripoff of someone else's game (Suika, copyright 2021, Aladdin X), but with a fast food/frog skin on it. Basically you play Suika here, but there's an added goal of needing to make certain merges to feed frogs, adding a really crap mobile tier restaurant platespinner element to what is otherwise infringing on Aladdin X's copyright. Will the differentiation be enough to avoid a DMCA takedown? Who knows, but as a gamer, we all know it's disappointing to see developers steal other, better developers games. What do you do in the game? It's Suika. So this looks like an old 1990's Adobe Flash game that you might play in a web browser, and the problem there is obviously Steam wasn't intended to try compete with Chrome and Firefox. If it can be done in a web browser, it's not even close to a cutting edge PC gaming experience. That's a problem. The game features really lacklustre 2D visuals (does the developer not know 3D graphics became mainstream in the mid-1990s?). Gamers don't spend thousands of dollars on gaming rigs and the latest 3D graphics cards to play 2D games. Even mobile phones and game consoles can do 3D graphics now. …

CROAK CAFE : FROM POND TO PLATE is a quirky cooking roguelike that turns restaurant work into a fast-moving test of preparation, prioritization, and adaptability. Developed and published by PIZZA WEARING PANTS, it builds its identity around an amusing premise: running a kitchen for hungry frogs while dealing with increasingly hectic culinary challenges. Instead of attempting to simulate restaurant ownership in great detail, the game concentrates on the immediate satisfaction and panic of preparing dishes efficiently while a timer keeps the pressure high. The core gameplay is centered on cooking meals from a varied collection of ingredients and getting them served before time becomes the player's biggest enemy. Individual actions may appear straightforward, but the challenge increases once several responsibilities begin competing for attention. Ingredients have to be handled, dishes need to be assembled, and the kitchen must remain productive despite the mounting workload. Success therefore depends on more than simply reacting quickly. Learning efficient routines and recognizing which task deserves immediate attention become essential parts of improving. What gives the experience …
